# Past state laws have enforced the [[sabbath]] by forbidding various activities, such as the sale of specific goods, on Sundays. These, however, are all almost now repealed or struck down. Closure of shops on Sundays is by convention, but not legally enforced. However, some states still restrict the sale of alcohol on Sundays.  The seven-day week, however, is accepted world-wide, and most people observe at least one day free from work.

# No law enforces the commandment about honoring parents, and it is doubtful that it could be enforced.

# No law enforces the commandment about honoring parents, and it is doubtful that it could be enforced. Liberals are currently attempting to undermine this commandment, by trying to make disciplining children illegal. In contrast, the Bible tells us the correct way to bring up a child and teach him to respect his parents: '''"He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him."''' (Proverbs 13:24)

# Adultery is not a criminal offense, but it will influence civil [[divorce]] proceedings and affect the distribution of assets.  Jesus clarified the definition of adultery, for instance in Matthew 8:27-32, to include remarriage after divorce in most cases.  Until recently, most states other than Nevada outlawed divorce for this reason.  Today most states and many Christian denominations define adultery in a narrow way to allow remarriage after divorce, contrary to Jesus' law.  Many Christians believe that this commandment, which forbids adultery,<ref>"voluntary sexual intercourse by a married man with another than his wife or by a married woman with another than her husband"&mdash;Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition, Unabridged, 1934</ref> also forbids fornication.<ref>"illicit sexual intercourse on the part of an unmarried person; the act of such illicit sexual intercourse between a man and a woman as does not by law amount to adultery" [op. cit.]</ref>
