Can you be in a situation where to keep one commandment you need to break another?
The 10 commandments says - honor your mother and father but also says do not kill. So if you father tells you to kill someone you either dishonor your father by not doing it or break the do not murder commandment. Similarly if your mother tries to seduce you do you run foul of the adultery one. Similarly someone may put a gun to head and force to make a graven image and bow down before it. If you refuse you are effectively murdering yourself. Even if these can be dismissed are there any other cases where you end up having to choose between commandments? If there is a choice how do you choose which commandment to keep?
