Different Commandments seem to be emphasized more than others. This, according to James 2:10-11, does not matter, for to offend one part is to offend it all. (Also we are no longer under the law.)

I am just curious as which commandment you feel is the one the is broken most often.

The 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th or To LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Where should we focus?

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked no [more]: but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation.

Very Happy

eleven your thesis is flawed. There are far more than 10 commandments, secondly to break one is to break them all, and lastly most of us have been forgiven and it just doesn't count against us. Maybe yours haven't been forgiven yet, I dont know.
