Ten Commandments

should we still be keeping the 10 commandments?

Like I said, you should show everyone PROOF (Bible texts for what you are saying)

Unless you are referencing something written here, for everyone to see, I've no idea. If you are referencing a PM you sent me, then you'll need to make that PM public for all to see. Otherwise, you've not said a thing.

Maybe you need to re-read your Bible. (Exodus 20:3) Read it a couple of times just so it can sink in that brain of yours

You're a typical Christian. When faced with your own holy book contradicting itself, you retreat into insults and attacks. That doesn't hurt me, it just shows how weak your argument and your grasp of your arguments is.

Give me a text that shows that Jesus endorsed slavery and rape?

Look, cowboy, I know you're trying to ask me for chapter and verse of all of these.Jesus said the law was perfect, the law endorsed slavery and rape. You're smart enough to connect those dots. You know God went around with a temple and an ark and commanded the snake pole (no sexual imagery there, eh?) to be put up. You know people were sleeping around with God's approval.

Well, I assume you know. If not, your bible knowledge sucks. Like, it's so bad you should be hiding rather than talking about the Bible. You should find the nearest homeless person and get them to argue because they probably know more about it than you, it's that bad if you can't find these passages on your own.

I'm not going to engage you in a Gish Gallop. If there are two or three of the things I mentioned that confuse you, let's address them. If you can't find the relevant scripture, I'll be happy to provide it. What I can't and won't do it attempt to engage you on every little thing you don't understand. You have to make some effort to read the Bible yourself and actually know what it says.

Also, which set of the 10 commandments? Are you picking one? God gave out two, why don't you honor both?

I guess we have to keep reminding him every time he makes a post.

Oh, that sounds naughty. I'm in.

As I previously brought up, which 10 Commandments? Exodus 20 or Exodus 34?

I asked him that earlier. Curiously, he completely ignored it.

Why wouldn't God want us to have other gods?

Slow down there, turbo dog. It doesn't say to not have other gods, it says to have no others before him. Other gods are fine.

God is saying, you don;t need something concrete to worship me and to talk to me, you can do that anywhere, because I am God Almighty.

Are you forgetting pole with the snake or the temple? Interesting.

Even the way we act with someone can be misusing the name of God by our actions. As Christians, we are called to represent the name of God.

Jesus endorsed slavery and rape. Is that a good way to represent God? If not, are you disagreeing with Jesus?

Going back to creation week, God blessed, sanctified, and made the Sabbath Holy.

God rested from all the work he had done. God rested. Why would God rest? Was he tired? God and run low on energy after doing work? Interesting idea. God can work hard and need a nap. Interesting that you endorse the idea that he is not all powerful. If he was, he would not need to rest.

Honoring and respecting our parents is something that we need to practice.

Are you suggesting that a parent who smokes and drinks around their kids and physically abuses them should be honored? There are no qualifications to this, so the obvious answer would be that yes, you do. If not, are you suggesting there be amendments to the commandment that God didn't think of?

God is protecting us from murdering another human being.

The commandment is not to not murder. The word associated with means slaying, killing, murdering or destroying. Still, not murdering is a good idea, but hardly unique or a novel ideal originating with the 10 commandments.

How many families are being destroyed in these days because a wife or husband decided to go and get with another married person.

Have you read the Bible? Patriarchs were horning it up with temple concubines, sleeping with women not their wives and sleeping with their wives servants ALL THE TIME and with God's approval. Adultery doesn't require both parties to be married. God approved of that all the time. In fact, polygamous marriages were also something God supported. It seems more like the rule was not "don't commit adultery" but rather "don't bone another man's property".

SIMPLE, DO NOT STEAL WHAT BELONGS TO OTHERS

Or, you know, don't do exactly what God commanded the Israelites to do? Don't steal except when it's OK?

If you have nothing good to say about someone, you shouldn't say it at all.

That's not at all what the commandment says. However, not lying is a good idea, except when it is. Like if you're being questioned by Nazi's as to where some Jews are hiding or when Jesus said he would be back before the people standing in front of him were all dead. Unless he didn't realize he wouldn't...

Still, lying has it's place.

Let's be blessed for what we have right now. If you only have 5 dollars for the week, make the best of that

Yes, the poor mother who can't feed or clothe her children should be happy with what she has and thank Jesus for it.

The ten commandments are a testament to Gods love for us. Why don't people view them like this? I'm not sure.

Well, now you have the information you need to be sure why not.

**Edited to add*** Oh, and on adultery, God was totally against it, except that time he got busy with another man's fiancee, a virgin no less.

Say whaaaaat? The ten commandments are eternal because there are no punishments, but God punished people for breaking them and Jesus both agreed with the Law as perfect and then said it was wrong?

That's crazy, man.

Village Idiot, that's seems really weird. Those list of commandments, that God said would be the same... they aren't the same.

The Greatest Teacher

by Harold OMorning in

if jesus was really viewed as the greatest teacher who ever lived...........why would a 3rd party need to explain his teaching?

discuss

Viviane

Perhaps, but then I do not seek relevance. Neither do I seek to answer all questions which are thrown about to destroy the faith of lurkers.

It's not the questions that destroys faith.

The Ten Commandments say nothing about stoning, they have no punishments. This is what makes them eternal.

That is the fallacy known as "not even wrong". There conclusion doesn't follow from the premise, indeed the conclusion and the premise are so unrelated as to not even make sense. The prohibition on mixing types of fabric also doesn't carry punishments or stoning threats, yet it is not eternal.

It's "not even wrong" because there is to way to determine whether or not it's even possible to determine whether it's right or not.

Jesus taught repentance and forgiveness not stoning. It makes perfect sense then that the Ten Commandmentsbeing eternal do not include stoning.

Slow down there, turbo dog. Jesus taught that the whole of the law, ALL of it, was perfect and would not pass away. That means the stonings, too. Are you disagreeing with Jesus?
