Do you follow the 10 commandments ?

Question

God told Moses: "Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest." (Exodus 34:1) Here is what was on the replacement tablets (from Exodus 34:14-26)
1 Thou shalt worship no other God
2 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods
3 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep
4 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest
5 Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks
6 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the Lord God
7 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven
8 Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the morning
9 The first of the firstfruits of thy land shalt thou bring unto the house of the Lord thy God
10 Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk

This list differs, obviously, from the one in Exodus 20 (was God's memory faulty?), but it is only this list that is called the "Ten Commandments."

Answer 1

Being honest with you, I have had many talks with Jewish scholars when I was stationed in the Holy Land. They agree that the old laws are still envisioned by the elderly as being prominent. However, there is supporting text that shows there may have been more than Ten Commandments from God, believing the tablets were merely a trumped up story that took the place of God speaking to the heart of Moses. The Shakespearian type of written text in the Greek and English versions will be of differing meanings. Being a bilingual in Greek, Latin, and English, I have found text differences that actually stick out like a sore thumb. Your question is vital; I will not lie and say it is a Good Q. I do not intend to insult your intelligence. I will also not ask you meaningless questions when you are seeking answers. You can talk to an Elder Stein at the Ahavath Achim Jewish Synagogue in Atlanta, Georgia. You can get the number for yourself, since I wrote a book that has this particular elder and synagogue in it.

Answer 2

If you believe in JESUS CHRIST, then did he not offer 2 new commandments that would sum up the old 10.

Love GOD with all your heart mind and soul
Love your neighbor as you love yourself

which means you wont sleep with your neighbors wife if you dont want him to sleep with yours. You wont kill anyone as you wouldnt want anyone to kill you.

the problem that came about (if you had read the Bible) between Moses and JESUS CHRIST was that people forgot all about the 10 commandments, and needed to be reminded of how to worship GOD.
religious leaders of the time lost all sight of what was true to GOD.

Stick to the new 2, and youll fidn that you will be following the old 10 just the same.

As far as the Sabbath..is it Saturday, the 7th day of the week, as some CHRISTisans and the Jewish follow, or is it now Sunday, the first day of the week as the Catholics celebrate it 9to celebrate the resurrection of CHRIST?

Does it really matter -- most important is that you congregate and celebrate GOD in whateveer way that suits you.

remember the parable about the man who worked on the Sabbath laboring to help his fallen OX, when no work was to be preformed on the Sabbath.
Well that only showed how confused and irrational the poeple had become -- which was the reason why JESUS CHRIST was sent down.
To deliver us from ourselves.

People like to argue about religion, why dont they gather together under their universal beliefs and help the homeless.
How many relgious goers are there in the US alone?
compare that to how many homeless are out there.

You will see that if we truly put our Faith to Work we could solve the homeless problem -- because kindness to the poor and oppressed is an act of worship.
Like the days of old, where all truth was missing from the religious leaders -- so have we become once again

Answer 3

"Deu 5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
Deu 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deu 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,"

To me that sounds like all Christians who worship Jesus, bowing themselves under the cross forming an image of heaven.

Perhaps this breaks the 10 commandments

Answer 4

Boy! That's a stretch. This isn't "The" 10 commandments. While they are commandments to the Jewish people, they are not the 10 that we will be judged by on the day of judgement according to Romans 2:12-16.

Answer 5

1. Definitely not. I never will.
2. What?
3. No.
4. I work only five days a week.
5. No.
6. Definitely not.
7. How would I even do that?
8. I don't even know when passover is.
9. Not by any chance. I work a lot, to go about giving it to an institution that is rich as it is. Let them sell the Vatican, if they want money.
10. How would I even do that?

Answer 6

1)You shall have no other gods before me. ____-ok i am good here

2)You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or 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; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments._________good here

3)You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.__________This is were i may have fell off

4)Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.____well this is Saturday i go to church on sunday __so that would be a no

Answer 7

Since Christians are not under the Law of Moses today (only Jews ever were), we are not under the Ten Commandments written in the Law. Christians today are to follow Jesus Christ. Since He Himself reinstated all but one of the Ten Commandments (the Sabbath), Christians are obligated to obey nine of the Ten Commandments.

Answer 8

Well I thought that I did, I don't know what some of that means, like what is "seethe", plus, I don't have any children, so no "menchildren", doing the lo-carb thing, so no unleavened bread, well, I guess the short answer would be in this case, "no"....final answer

Answer 9

Yes, I try to, at least in my every day life. I know no one's perfect. This isn't the one I was taught though.

Ok, to the first answerer, the trinity is not different gods, the trinity is one being who exists in the perichoresis of three people. sorry if i'm not making sense, i'm not too good with explanations but basically the trinity is God, it's not another God

Answer 10

moses reminds the children of isreal the ten commandments from ex. 20:1-17
Deu 5:6 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Deu 5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
Deu 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deu 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Deu 5:10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
Deu 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Deu 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
Deu 5:13 Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:
Deu 5:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ***, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
Deu 5:15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
Deu 5:16 Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deu 5:17 Thou shalt not kill.
Deu 5:18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Deu 5:19 Neither shalt thou steal.
Deu 5:20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Deu 5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ***, or any thing that is thy neighbor's.

nothing about God is faulty.
