[Vision2020] 8 year old girl denied divorce

Donovan,

I'm afraid I DO disagree, which commandment says that?

The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They 
were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered
them 
from slavery in Egypt: 
"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God… 

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' 
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in 
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' 
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.' 
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.' 
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.' 
SIX: 'You shall not murder.' 
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.' 
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' 
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' 
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife,
nor 
his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is
your 
neighbor's.'
