Failure to teach a child placed in your care about the things of God.  God gives the authority of children to the parents who are responsible for their moral education and spiritual formation. But, parents must also regard their children as children of God, and respect them as human persons and keep them out of harm's and evil's way. (Fifth Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:12)

The breaking of the observance of Sabbath, which, according to Scripture and Jewish tradition, begins from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday (Most Evangelicals and Catholics choose Sunday to be Sabbath in the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ). Observance of Sabbath, set aside by God as different from the other days of the week, requires the ceasing of work and activities that hinder the worship owed to God; it brings revitalization and restoration of the spirit of obedient believers to prepare for the tasks during the other six days of the week. One should do no work if possible, and spend the day praising, contemplating, growing, worshiping and learning Scripture with their focus upon the Lord and His things.(Fourth Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:8-11)

The swearing of an oath without intention of keeping it. Pledging an oath and violating the promise contradicts to the Divine nature of God. (Third Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:7)

Uttering against God, inwardly or outwardly, words of hatred, reproach, or defiance by speaking ill of God, show lack respect toward Him in one's speech, or misuse God's name (Third Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:7)
