Zone1 The Ten Commandments don't apply to us.

Apparently. Jes' sayin'.

They apply. Trump and his supporters, just do not know it. But, for that matter, there actually are a lot of people that act like they do not know it, MAGA is not alone in this fallacy. Support for the Ten Commandments as laws for living is obviously limiting, and their new god routinely ignores, and seems to be successfully doing as he please, so they do as they please, also and support him doing as he please.

If your "divinity" gave you 10 commandments on 2 stone tablets, would you smash them on the ground?


A- only if the ancient Egyptian tools used to manufacture them didn't do a "God quality perfect" job. Smash them before anyone notices....

and yet its the left that blocked the Ten Commandments from being displayed in public schools and court houses ..

 

[ChristisKing]

They do apply and I try to follow them the best that I can.

They were Commandments issued by God for the benefit of the Israelites.

God really doesn't change even if society has over the millenia.

The 4th and 5th commandments are of some importance.

The 4th deals with the Sabbath....which is all about the end of the Covenant....dealing with who Jesus is. His name/Identity is wrapped up in this commandment.

5th commandment?
This requires some knowledge.....
There is no Hebrew word for grandmother or grandfather. Only mother and father....
It's got absolutely nothing to do with birth parents as so many like to believe it does and has been sold as.
It's about Abraham and Sarah.....God's Friend and his wife. Kind and generous Abraham. IOW act like a Child belonging to those two regardless of how piss poor your parents are/were. IOW your identity name is all important here. Be sure to have the correct one.

And since Jesus fulfilled the 4th Commandment.....
Yeah, I can see that.

Wow!

 

[ChristisKing]

Wow!

Well I'm adopted so I already knew that.

 

[JohnDB]

Wow!

I know....comes as a shock to so many...

But it makes soooo much more sense than any other explanation ever has or will.

 

[JohnDB]

You cheated because you learned it from me....a long time ago.

How long we been friends now?

Nearly ten years, but I don't remember you ever saying that.

I prefer the Biblical explanations.

The central message of Islam is the worship of one God alone without partners, intermediaries, or equals. God alone created the universe, provides for all creation, and deserves complete devotion and worship. This belief, is considered the foundation of faith and the most important of all comandments.

 

[JohnDB]

You may not remember....but you really don't hear anyone else saying it. I'm the ONLY one teaching this to anyone because of my intensive studies of language and culture. And it requires intensive studies of both to know this.

Christian Religion is kinda unique. It requires a knowledge of ALL the sciences as well as language arts to really understand the scriptures. That blend of both is called Hermeneutics.

And even though we have a ton of preachers....not many actually go through the exercise of studying ALL the sciences when studying scriptures. And then many get too literal and miss out on the literary arts when teaching scriptures.

Just not a lot of people who speak plainly anymore who can explain some really complicated to study subjects....explained 5,000, almost 6,000 years ago.

That begs the question of how exactly to worship this God.

The Ten Commandments don't apply​

The Controls issued to Munchers to keep them in order .

What a jealous petty wretch the imaginary supreme being is, according to the Cultists .

No wonder that the Herd have always been let down .

So , unsurprisingly, you reap what you sow and if you are so Gullible to accept pettiness , you deserve whatever you get in return --- which is nothing from the Supreme Scammer .

But what does that mean in practical application?

 

[JohnDB]

Yeah....so do I...
But just because the 5th commandment wasn't referencing your parents didn't mean that children couldn't or shouldn't obey them.
Far from it.....

You, as a child, disobeyed and then you would get stoned by the entire town. Your parents throwing the first rock. This was not just a momentary lapse in judgement like most children have...that would get the "rod of correction" . LOL.
But an unrepentant and unruly child? Oh yeah....the entire town might just enjoy it too much...and just because you were older than 13 meant nothing (legal majority in Jewish culture). Your parents could bring charges at any age.

 

[JohnDB]

But what does that mean in practical application?

ALL the Law (Old and New Testament) and all the regulations and ordinances of the New Covenant hang off these two commandments.

Meaning the Laws are no longer codified to meet the new, differing standards and situations around the world....

You can now eat pork and shrimp....and cheeseburgers.
