Good afternoon.

'Jews Destroyed Russia'

Heck, the Jews destroyed everything when they introduced the world to the Ten Commandments.

Thou shalt not murder, steal, or covet didn't go over too well with the pagans.

I know you're being sarcastic for effect, but...

An honest reading of the Old Testament reveals that the Ten Commandments were not introduced to the world by the Jews in the strict sense of the word, as the Jews did not initiate the Ten Commandments, and the Old Testament has no record of the ancient Israelites deciding, in and of themselves, to spread the observance of the Ten Commandments to other nations. The Ten Commandments were given by God to Moses who gave them to the Israelites. While they do apply to all people, ancient Israel was not commanded to impose them on, i.e., convert, other nations outside of their own nation of Israel, which, at the time they received the Ten Commandments, had not yet taken possession of the promised land.

Thou shalt not murder, steal, or covet didn't go over too well with the pagans.

The Old Testament records that the Ten Commandments did not "go over too well" with the Israelites themselves either, who struggled and repeatedly failed to live up to them, even right from the beginning, having resorted to idol worship before Moses even came back down the mountain the first time. The Bible, of course, teaches that everyone falls short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:11 "There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God."

Of course, the point is not to blame or boast regarding God's Law Word. The New Testament epistle to the Romans is an essential book to study regarding this topic.
