Sceptics often mock, “Are you saying that no one knew they were doing wrong before the Ten Commandments. And I reply, “You don’t know right from wrong even with the Ten Commandments.”
“But I can hear you say, "If the law code was as bad as all that, it's no better than sin itself." That's certainly not true. The law code had a perfectly legitimate function. Without its clear guidelines for right and wrong, moral behaviour would be mostly guesswork. Apart from the succinct, surgical command, "You shall not covet," I could have dressed covetousness up to look like a virtue and ruined my life with it. Romans 7:7
