"The Ten Commandments from scripture are warnings intended to keep us from falling into sin and into places we should not be. They are not the standard for holiness, but a lowest common denominator, the minimal requirement for morality, the benchmark below which someone should not fall. The series of commandments proposed here have a different intent, to invite us to a higher place, a deeper maturity, and a more intimate relationship with God and one another."
