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)

Research biogenetics that manipulate DNA and genes, attempt creation of life through cloning, growth of organs and skin outside the body, develop artificial birth aids, and use aborted stem cells and test tube reproductive efforts are akin to human beings mistakenly assuming they are equal to the Creator and His Creation.

Scientific reproduction is an attempt to procreate life without God's intentions.  It is not the right of every married couple to have children.  Children are a gift from God.  If a couple cannot conceive, then they should accept God's decision and look for God's will for their union. (Seventh Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:14)

Professional secrets must be kept unless the situation is exceptional and keeping the secret would severely harm another.  Clergy or confessor secrets must be kept from all but God, in all situations. Family and friend secrets are also sacred to the relationship; when a secret is divulged without good cause, the failure to keep the secret is a sin. (Ninth Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:16)

The use of sexual demands, pressures, or innuendoes to gain power or influence over another is a sin that forces the will of one upon the other. (Seventh Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:14)
