Well, you can find them in Levitticus. There are actually something like

116
commandments. They're usually called the "law of Moses". There's a

section in
the New Testament in which Jesus says that a man should do his best to

obey all
of the commandments, but under no circumstances should he violate the

ten that
he felt were most important. This has been corrupted by Christian

leaders to
the concept that there are only ten commandments.



Yeah, but Christ wasn't much on beaurocracy, so he distilled them into
just two (Matthew 22:37). And since not many in this NG "love God",
that makes only one that is relevant:


"Love thy neighbour as thyself".


Doesn't that go against the adultery one?
