What is Your Favorite Commandment?

Yesterday we listed the traditional 10 commandments prophet Moses gave us plus two (Mormons have lots of commandments they are responsible for, many, many more than just 10 and with additional instruction on those first ten). The student journal question for the morning was "What is your favorite commandment and why?"

1. no other gods before me + "thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy might, mind and strength"
2. not make any graven image
3. not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
4. remember the sabbath day to keep it holy + "go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day" and "let thy food be prepared with singleness of heart..."
5. honour thy fahter and thy mother
6. not kill + "nor do anything like unto it"
7. no adultery + "love thy wife with all thy heart, and cleave unto her nad none else" and "he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her shall deny the faith, and shall not have the Spirit" and "nor do anythign like unto it"
8. not steal + "pay for that which thou receivest of thy brother" and nor do anything like unto it
9. not bear false witness + "not lie" "not speak evil of thy neighbor, nor do him any harm" and "live together in love" and "love thy neighbor as thyself
10. not covet
11. "Thou shalt not be proud in thy heart" Doctrine & Covenants 42:40; "Thous shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things" Doctrine & Covenants 59:7
12. "Thous shalt not be idle" Doctrine & Covenants 42:42
