The 10 Commandments have been rescinded. Thou mayest covet thy neighbor's wife and her ass all thou wantest.
Just be careful that the neighbor does not pack a .45.

LOL! Good quip Deep!
But not all the commandments were rescinded.
Romans 13: 8-10
8"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therfore love is the fulfilling of the law."
Matthew 22: 36-40
36 "Master, which is the great commandement in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love the neigbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
King James version
My interpretation of this is if we truly love God and our fellow man, then we won't want to do things like lie, cheat, steal, etc. JMHO
