Here’s some interesting news for those Bible fundamentalists who will not read, learn, study or consider anything else but their particular church’s doctrine or the instruction of their pastor.
Why is it that so many Christians are mesmerized by their pastors and churches? Moslems are no different. In doing this they fall crash bang into the hands of satan and the demonic world.
Open your minds Christians, Moslems and others to the facts, evidence and clear thinking rather than be the victims of cheap religious psychological manipulation.
Oh yes I believe that there is a God, and that the Almighty Creator is a God of Righteousness, Truth and Justice. I have many personal experiences with the Almighty and I have many more experiences of the manipulations and cheap psychological techniques so often practiced by religious so call men and women of God.
Take a look at the article below then start your real search for TRUTH! Question your religious leader, challenge his or her ideas, and spend your time seeking the Almighty Creator and not the favour of your Pastor.

42 Principles of Maat 2000 years before the Ten Commandments
https://xenophilius.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/42-principles-of-maat-2000-years-before-ten-commandments/
The Ten Commandments, eight of them at least, were taken from the Egyptian Principles of Ma’at written at least 2000 years earlier.
Written at least 2,000 years before the Ten Commandments of Moses, the 42 Principles of Ma’at are one of Africa’s, and the world’s, oldest sources of moral and spiritual instruction. Ma’at, the Ancient Egyptian divine Principle of Truth, Justice, and Righteousness, is the foundation of natural and social order and unity. Ancient Africans developed a humane system of thought and conduct which has been recorded in volumes of African wisdom literature, such as, these declarations from the Book of Coming Forth By Day (the so-called Book of the Dead), The Teachings of Ptah-Hotep, the writings of Ani, Amenemope, Merikare, and others.
…
One aspect of ancient Egyptian funerary literature which often is mistaken for a codified ethic of Ma’at is Chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead, often called the 42 Declarations of Purity or the Negative Confession. These declarations varied somewhat from tomb to tomb, and so can not be considered a canonical definition of Ma’at. Rather, they appear to express each tomb owner’s individual conception of Ma’at, as well as working as a magical absolution (misdeeds or mistakes made by the tomb owner in life could be declared as not having been done, and through the power of the written word, wipe that particular misdeed from the afterlife record of the deceased).
Many of the lines are similar, however, and they can help to give the student a “flavor” for the sorts of things which Ma’at governed—essentially everythingfrom the most formal to the most mundane aspect of life.
Many versions are given on-line, unfortunately seldom do they note the tomb from which they came or, whether they are a collection from various different tombs. – wiki
Here is one collection to give you the general idea:

Here is a different translation showing how they correlate with the 10 commandments.Moses, if he existed, (there is no undisputed historical/archaeological evidence that he did), was an Egyptian. According to stories, he was adopted by an Egyptian royal family. If that were true he would have been familiar with these principles. If there was no historical Moses, then others most likely borrowed a few if the Principles of Maat when composing the Ten Commandments.
