The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament
at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to Moses for the people
of Israel at Mount Sinai
after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:
"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD
your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any
likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in
vain.'
In the Bible we read:
- "Know therefore this
day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven
above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else."
Deuteronomy 4:39.
- "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me." Exodus 20:3
- "For thou shalt
worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a
jealous God:" Exodus 34:14
- "Ye [are] my
witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may
know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no
God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, [even] I, [am] the LORD;
and beside me [there is] no savior." Isaiah 43:10-11.
- "Thus saith the LORD
the King of Israel,
and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last;
and beside me [there is] no God." Isaiah 44:6
- "That they may know
from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside
me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else." Isaiah 45:6
- "For thus saith the
LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made
it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be
inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else." Isaiah
45:18.
- "Look unto me, and be
ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none
else." Isaiah 45:22
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall
not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant,
nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New
Testament
About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up
in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious
"experts" of the day:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the
Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All
the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew
22:36-40).
A reflective reading of Christ's teaching reveals that the
first four commandments given to the children of Israel are contained in the
statement: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind." It continues that the last six commandments
are enclosed in the statement: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
These are the main teaching of Jesus Christ – To fulfilled the laws of
Moses.
Jesus spent his whole life in strict adherence to
the commandments of the law of Moses He
departed leaving his followers with the following words:
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, TILL HEAVEN
AND EARTH PASS, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law,
till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in
the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5:17-19
See what were Jesus' words to us for eternal life:
"And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest
thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter
into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou
shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
shalt not bear false witness. Honor thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself The young man saith unto him, All these
things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If
thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me."
Matthew 19:16-21
Christians today in general follow the commandments of
Paul and others who are given the power to totally cancel out all of the
commandments of both Moses and Jesus, and no Christian has any reservations
whatsoever. Let read some of Paul words in the Bible:
Paul said that the law of Moses is worthless. Belief in the crucifixion is the
only requirement
"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the
faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be
justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the
works of the law shall no flesh be justified"
Galatians 2:16
Also: "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the
deeds of the law."
Romans 3:28
And: "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now
that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away"
Hebrews 8:13.
According to Paul
ward in the book of Romans,
1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Phillippians, Colossians, 1 and 2
Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews. Jesus Christ sole mission
to mankind was to die on
the cross, free them from the original sin, free them from the law of Moses ,
and provide salvation for them, But the funny thing is he never in his
lifetime mention it to his followers the sole mission. He did not spend night
and day drumming these new concepts into their people minds. Why did he himself observe the
commandments of Moses so completely and
so faithfully even up till his alleged death? In Matthew 19:16-21 when
Jesus was asked for the path to heaven, why did he emphasize the
keeping of the commandments of Moses but never mention the crucifixion nor the
redemption or having "faith" in them? Why, when he was pressed
for more, did he still not mention either a crucifixion nor a redemption but
only claim that anyone who kept the commandments of Moses and sold his belongings would be
"perfect"? Why
did he not say "have faith in my crucifixion and forsake the commandments
and you shall be 'perfect'"?
WHO
TELL LIES HERE? Jesus Christ or the Christians ? How
we going to answers God if we are wrong &
in front of God Almighty Jesus just say that are not my teaching & I never
bring that religion. I only ask them to keep the commandment of Moses.
Why Saul of Tarsus ( St. Paul ) become so powerful until able to cancels
the teaching of Jesus and the law of Moses ?
The greatest success
of Paul is when he manage to
convince them that Jesus Christ
is God , so automatically become the final
Spokesman of God, not Jesus because
Jesus is already become God. Here he declare himself as spokesman of Jesus
which already in heaven .
As the final
Spokesman of his promoted God, Paul manage to excel by drumming his visions:
Saul of Tarsus (St. Paul)
become the author of the majority of the books of the New Testament. He is
claimed to be the author of Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians,
Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and
Hebrews.
Paul himself proudly proclaims that he has no need of learning from any human
being, not even the apostles, he is completely independent of their knowledge
and all he needs is his visions:
"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is
not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but
by the revelation of Jesus Christ."
Galatians 1:11-12
The careful reader will notice many other holes in the story of Paul's alleged
"conversion." For instance, in Acts 22:9 Paul claims that when he
spoke to Jesus, those traveling with him
"saw the light," but "they heard not the voice." While in
Acts 9:7 those who were with Paul are claimed to have "stood speechless,
hearing a voice, but seeing no man." Don't take my word for it, by all
means "prove all things." The teachings of Christianity as they are
known today are built upon the claims of Paul, the author of the majority of
the books of the New Testament.
And I knew such a man, whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell:
God knoweth; How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable
words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such an one will I glory:
yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.."
2 Corinthians 12:1-5
Paul told us that he had seen someone in a "vision," had heard
"unspeakable words that are not lawful to utter" in his vision, and
had been commanded by this person to nullify the commandments which Jesus had upheld his whole life and had commanded
mankind to uphold till the end of time, who would you say this described? Who
had he seen? WHO HAD PAUL SEEN ? jESUS OR sATAN ?
It impossible
Jesus Christ commanded Paul to nullify the commandments and asked Paul to
introduce a new religion.
