Uh-oh! Looks like Rev. Haggard has some explaining to do re: 10 Commandments
If allegations that Rev. Haggard had sexual trysts with a male prostitute prove TO BE true, just looky at all the commandments he has broken! (You know, those pesky “10 Commandments that he and his neo-con fascist fundies have been using as a club to beat the rest of us over our heads for years. The same ones who want to put "The Big 10" in our schools and government buildings…)

It appears Rev. Haggard forgot about these...

THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. (#7)
"This Commandment is to allow men to better understand that wrong use of bodily communication with other men has a definite disgrace in God's Plan. Promiscuous involvement to satisfy only the senses has many areas wherein men sin against their role in God's Plan. This Commandment definitely says that homosexuality, lesbianism, abortion, pornography, and all promiscuous endeavors of man, have a permissiveness that is against the reason for creating mankind.
God said to Moses, 'Men will have many excuses and will justify their sins against this Commandment. Also, men will deliberately attach only specific sins on this Commandment, for shame will make them call this The Hidden Commandment'."

Impurity - attack through the senses, lack of self-discipline, permissiveness, self-love.
Promiscuity - encouraging men to act without dignity, degrading the purpose of human intimate relationship.
Self-abuse - physically, mentally, emotionally.
Mental abuse causes grave sins, sometimes grave intention for sin, permitting the intellect to become so permeated with sinful thoughts that men sin consistently and it weakens them in every way.
Homosexuality - Lesbianism


Uh-oh! Perhaps the Big One--Looks like Ted, who is married, is heading directly to Hell with the breaking of this commandment alone.

And we also have:

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE. (# 9)
"To covet, whether it be by grave intention or full action, what belongs in the procreative plan, will be answerable in more depth than men will want to believe. What men do to restrict, corrupt or eliminate the beauty I have planned for man and woman in the role of the physical life, must be held accountable to Me, for I have made man to My Image and Likeness, and all things must remain in the beauty I have designed and in the Plan I had in mind. No man must allow his thinking or lack of self-discipline to cause weakness in himself or another who belongs to another. No woman is permitted to intrude or invite such a sin against Me."

Adultery - Temptation through thought, word and deed.


Ah, yes…the “T” word. That one always get us!...

And...

I AM THE LORD THY GOD, THOU SHALT NOT HAVE strange gods BEFORE ME. (#1)
"Idolizing material images to the point they are held in superstition, and as men would suspect, suppose, determine 'The Creator of All Things' would be like; such as idols of human form or animal likeness also.

Eliminating the Mystery of a Divine Being that no man can touch, see or feel. Replacing this Mystery with physical means and emphasis put on knowledge and man's own senses.
Interpreting God to fit a manner, mood and way, making Him humanly understandable rather than Divine."

Pentecostalism - Idolatry - Power - Communism - Atheism - Humanism - Cults


Practicing homosexuality is against the Bible, or so we’re told by the neo-con fascist fundies. And since the Bible is the Word of God, than anything done against the Bible is against the Word of God, and being against the Word of God means you’re against God. In essence, you have rejected God.

These three come to mind but there are other, kinda "gray" area-type commandments

Like:
No. 3--"Keeping the Sabbath holy." This would be problematic in Rev. Haggard had an encounter on a Sunday...
No. 4--"Honoring thy Father and Mother." Depends on how his parents feel about this. Also did he honor God...?
No. 8--"Bearing false witness against thy neighbor" Did he lie to his family about this? Did he lie to himself? Let's see how Rev. Haggard handles this...

1. Well, and he was doing a bit of BEARING FALSE WITNESS against his neighbor, too
His neighbor being that prostitute, the one that he lied about, and said that the prostitute was lying, as well...
