If God made 10 laws (commandements) where did all the other ones come from?

Question

Did anyone get "permission" from God to enforce them? Is he in accordance with them?

Did anyone get God's "permission" to enforce them? Is he in accordance with them? Should we follow and obey them? That's not fair!

goverment

Answer 2

The answer to your question depends upon whom you ask.

According to Jewish teaching, there are more than the simple "Ten Commandments". These "other ones" also came from God. The Old Testament book of Leviticus catalogs a great many of these laws.

Under Jewish law and tradition, the tribe of Levi was considered the priesthood and it was thier responsibility to both teach the laws to the people of Israel and to enforce them as well. And yes, God is in accordance with them.

In Christian teaching, many of the Old Testament teachings are considered a stop-gap measure for the sins of man. In other words: they were only a temporary fix. The permanent "fix", (for lack of a better term) comes as a result of Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection.

Islamic teachings don't quite recognize the Ten Commandments since the Islamic teachings do not recognize Moses (or anyone of Isaac's lineage - the Jewish people) as among "God's Chosen". Islam diverges from Judaeism at the point of Ishmael's birth.

Abraham fathered two sons: Ishmael and Isaac. The Muslims beleive Ishmael to be the heir to God's Promise. The Jewish people believe it was Isaac.

Answer 3

Some of them were also handed down by God after the ten commandments. However a majority were written by the Jewish leaders sometime later. They like following laws and just got a little carried away, not realizing the real porpose of the law.

Answer 4

What "Other" commandments are you talking about?

There are really only 2 Commandments. Jesus was asked which one of the 10 was the most important. He answered that " Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all your heart and mind and soul, the second is equal to the first that thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Upon these 2 hang all the laws of all the prophets".

Every law written in the Bible fall into these two commandments. If I love God, I'm not going to make money my god. if I love my neightbor, I'm not going to steal from him or lie to him. If I love my parents, I'm going to respect them.

Only God can enforce the Commandments. He does this using our conscience and morals and the promise of Heaven for obeying them.

Answer 5

Our laws are based on ten commandments. We all should keep each other accountable. We should follow the laws.

We get saved by God's grace and mercy. We just need to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, before we die..repent and get baptized.

Laws are protecting us.

Answer 6

God write ten commandements in the exodus but if you read your bible a littl farther you´ll find a book named leviticus...
there you´ll find a series of laws, orders and ritual that since in the bible are also God inspired, altough not writtme by his own hand as the stone tablets were. Through the old testament you get to know moises law (a tryout of what should have become the catholics moral and rites) thorugh the words of kings and prophets and by example in the journey and works of the hebrew people. In the new testament you get the "two laws" to love god abopve it all, and to love each other as you love yursef (human right´s implicit here) Also beneath it all it talks about earth goverment and trading, there are many lessons in the gospels but everyone has to figure it out by themselves so everyone has a point of view that is different. after this there comes st. Paul letters (B.S.) in my personal view they´re go to try to straighten up and change the roman Empire taking adventage of the crisis that was about to hit it. 300 years after church was stable enough to release their own laws and this were executed by the kings (in exchange for it the church settled their "sheep" this went back and forth) slowly the world began to grow and change and so there were needed laws for commerce and trading, laws for those who protected society (laws of honor about military, knghts policeman they´re all alike)and so on till todays elaborated laws systems.
since a higher point of wiew all you need is the two laws of Jesus and those two are the sum of every other. But as jesus himself said "to the cesar what is of cesar" so down here on earth human law and right supports on themselves

Answer 7

thats simple... humans...... if we didnt have rules, then most likley humans would fight all the time and more bad things would happen, but then again I do know a few rules that we could go without.... and if you're meaning rules within the church, they're just ways to worship that people took from the bible or were inspired to make from the bible.... honestly, i'd rather just follow the first ten than add anymore to my list.

Answer 8

We make up our own laws. God has nothing to do with it.
If we wait for His permission to do anything,not much will
get done.
