Zone1 The Ten Commandments don't apply to us.

[shockedcanadian]

Apparently. Jes' sayin'.

Who is "us"?

Come on maaaaan...

 

[Bad Bob]

The constitutional question is about whether the posting of them is tantamount to establishing religion.

So you have no problem with posting quotes from the Quran in classrooms or the tenets of Hinduism?

 

[Bad Bob]

What name do y'all go by?

I think it's MAGA. For Christians, the Ten Commandments are still applicable.

 

[Bad Bob]

^ And you double down on lying. The more you post, the more ignorant you become...
If you want an explanation of the 9th commandment you need to understand the Jewish definition it refers to, not the Christian definition. The two are not the same. One deals with legal issues the other a principle...

Thanks for the insults and lies.
Sorry, ma'am, but I'll stick with the Christian definition as posted. God bless.

What name do y'all go by?

Children of God...

 

[rightwinger]

There's a whole bunch of us...

The Bible has consistently ranked as one of the best-selling books of all time.
It is estimated that billions of copies have been sold and distributed worldwide.

Bible is one of the most sold and least read books in history

Perhaps you would fare better in a political forum. This thread focuses on the 10 Commandments, not the present administration. You, suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, clouds your ability to focus...

Usually people buy books to read them. Billions of one particular book shows a huge interest...

First Commandment proclaims …..You shall have no Gods before me

Clearly establishing a religion

 

[hobelim]

Children of God...

Nah. Your name is legion. Long time no see? lol. Still running with a herd of swine? Damn. Are you a sinner? Every time you pray to a trinity you sin. Read 1 John 3:4-10, and try again.

Few people choose evil because its evil. Most choose evil by mistaking it for good. Like you.

 

[Bad Bob]

I never understood why Moses would take tablets written by God and smash them.

Trust me, that is what was on hem

An excellent question. It appears a second set of tablets was made and both the old and new tablets were put in the Ark of the Covenant.

You have created your very own religion. And I wish you good luck with that.
Most of us are smart enough to discern the difference between evil and good...

"This, he told me, is the curse which goes out over all the land. For by the writing on one side every thief shall be swept clean away and by the writing on the other side every perjurer shall be swept clean away. I have sent it out, the Lord of hosts has said, and it shall enter the house of the thief and the house of the man who has perjured himself in my name. It shall stay inside that house and demolish it, timbers, and stones, and all." Zechariah 5:3

Luck has nothing to do with anything, but thanks for the well wishes!

If that was true then no one would be turning to a lifeless matzo made by human hands to eat for spiritual life much less practicing idolatry to avoid the penalty for practicing idolatry.

Do most people who own Bibles read them?

Not really—at least not cover to cover or on a regular basis.

In places where owning a Bible is common, surveys usually show a gap between having a Bible and actively reading it. For example, in the U.S., many households own one or more Bibles, but only a minority of people report reading it daily or even weekly. A significant number say they rarely or never read it.


People engage with the Bible in very different ways:

• Some read it devotionally every day.
• Some mainly hear passages at church or religious services.
• Some read selected books or verses rather than the entire text.
• Some keep a Bible for cultural, family, or symbolic reasons without reading it much.
• Others intend to read it but find it difficult because of the language, length, or structure.

Even among religious Christians, reading habits vary a lot by denomination, age, education, and personal belief. And many people who have read substantial parts of it still haven’t read the entire Bible, since it’s a long and complex collection of books.


So the short answer is: owning a Bible is much more common than consistently reading it.

 

[Bad Bob]

No, He did not. He fulfilled the Law for the Jews and gave us 2.


Name the man that can foretell the future. Surely, with that ability, he should be renowned.
Tell me who is going to be the President of the USA 20 years from now. If "whats his name" 4,000 years ago, could infallibly predict the future you should be able to too...

Isn't that what I said, dear?

No one can. God created the Universe with rules and those rules do not include a human ability of prognostication. If you know of one, they are pulling your chain.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

How many of you are there?

That's a question I've asked of you in the past. You never answered. Do you know Legion?

Sad but true. A lot of Christians talk the talk but don't walk the walk. This thread where Christians claim the Ten Commandments don't apply is one example.

Most Christians have read parts of the Bible and all have been taught out of the Bible, but only 30% have read it cover to cover even once.

Globally, only a small fraction of Christians have read the entire Bible. According to a study by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity, less than 30% of Christians worldwide have ever read through the entire Bible. This highlights the significant challenge of reading the entire Scripture, which requires a substantial commitment of time and dedication.

 

[BackAgain]

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.

You see the Ten Commandments as being applicable to nations?

Really?

 

[The Irish Ram]

You never responded to my changes to the 10 Commandments

Here ya go...
Slaves were to be treated as family members.
Cleanliness is well covered in Leviticus.
War is man's design, God said to seek peace and pursue it. Love over conflict.
Education is well covered in Proverbs.
God said if you don't take care of your families you have denied the faith, and are worse than a nonbeliever.

You plagiarized God's words and made them your own commands. Nice work...
