What would you do if God changed the Ten Commandments?

Answer 1

Well, you could see if version 2.0 is suitable for hanging in a courthouse.

Answer 2

It would seem completely illogical to the notion that G-d is omnicient and omnibenevolent for the 10 words to be changed. Many times in the scriptures, G-d warns to do the commandments forever, in all your generations, all the days, etc. So a change in the commandments would be an obvious deception, make all the scriptures null and void or be from a different source other than the G-d that delivered the Hebrews from Egypt. Did your mother ever call you to dinner and then say something like, 'what are you waiting for? an engraved invitation?' Well, G-d went to the trouble of engraving an invitation in stone for the Hebrews at Mt. Sinai. If G-d changed the ten commandments after HE commanded them to be done forever, I wouldn't believe unless it happened with a greater magnitude than what happened at MT. Sinai and witnessed by more than 603,000 people and it was clearly prophesied repeatedly through out the scriptures and none of those things have happened. (11 people watching Jesus float up to heaven is not the same as 603,000 people watching G-d coming to earth-----sorry christians, its not the same no matter how hard you try to make it so). If G-d did officially change the commandments, which I would never believe HE would, but say HE did, I would absolutely not follow them with the intent of pleasing them. If my life conformed to the principles HE layed out, it wasn't because I was going out of my way to follow HIM. I also would not go out of my way to break the principles either. (In other words, I would probably become a Deist or something else with what I perceive as flexible doctrines, because I wouldn't trust G-d, but I would still believe HE is real).




Pugwash.........You do realise that Jesus was quoting Dt. 6:4-9 and Leviticus 19:18 don't you? He wasn't making it up. You realise he said it was the greatest commandment (mark 11).....not the only commandment? You realise that he was paraphrasing a popular and famous Jewish addage from Rabbi Hillel who was from before the time of Jesus? You do realise that the Torah (law of Moses) says not to take away or add to the law (dt.4:2). If Jesus took anything away from the law as you claim or instructed others not to follow it, he sinned according to what it said, he obviously isn't the messiah and you are still in your sins.

Answer 3

The ten commandments were authored by people, after the fact, with personal biases and agendas.

Answer 4

Almighty God, using his only son, Jesus, CONDENSED them. FROM TEN INTO TWO,
(Matthew 22:37-40) He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”

Answer 5

He has moved on with the New Covenant. Read the book of Hebrews

Answer 6

changed them to what? I hope he still keeps thou shalt not kill on there. I really like having that one on my side. There's less chance I get murdered by some religious wacko.

Answer 7

I would think that some church leader or a politician had a new agenda they wanted to promote.

Answer 8

I would think he was not the true God.

Answer 9

If God truly changed them I would follow. But His Law is perfect, so that won't happen.

Answer 10

i'm agnostic so it wouldn't matter. i don't even know the ten commandments.
