I remember the first time I read a post like that from you, and misinterpreted your intent.
You have of course nailed it.
For All Muslims out there that have not come to this bridge yet, consider two things.
1). Putting God First in All things means exactly that. That includes Our Own Understandings, our own perspective, even teachings and learned behavior.
2). Accepting this may very well target You and put Your life at risk.
We All are born with original Sin. That does not paint a target on our backs, like some teach, there are no innocents, all is fair game. This is a False Premise.
Thou Shall not Kill.
Not to dispute you or anything as such, but that Commandment has been Mis-Intrerpreted. Actually it reads more like "Thou shalt not
Murder".
Murder is in Cold blood of innocents. To kilk say for the sake of defending one's self, or Family is entirely permitted for the sake of perserving the lives of innocents.
Murder speaks of intent to intentionally do harm with malice of forethought.
There is a line here in my view. What the Muslim thuggery does is done with extreme malice of forethought to innocents.
Interestingly enough, the rest of the Commandments are there to keep you from getting murdered.......
Thou shalt not steal - if you steal, someone is gonna wanna kill you.
Thou shalt not bear false witness (lie) - if you lie, someone may want to kill you.
Thou shalt not covet - if you get jealous enough of someone, you may end up wanting to kill them.
Thou shalt not commit adultery - if you cheat with someone's significant other, they'll want to kill you.
Honor thy father and mother - they brought you into this world, they can take you out.
Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy - take a break once in a while to keep from killing yourself with stress.
Basically, the 10 Commandments are there to keep us all from being killed. Same with the first 3, because a false idol can't help you at, and, if you don't remember who HaShem is, then it's kinda hard to ask Him for help.
