Mark 10:19 "You know the commandments, 'DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'" Rom 13:9 For this, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Matt 5:19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matt 22:36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" Matt 22:37 And He said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' Matt 22:38 "This is the great and foremost commandment. Matt 22:39 "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' Matt 22:40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." Matt 28:20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Rom 7:12 So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. 1 Cor 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God. 1 Cor 14:37 If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment. Eph 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Eph 6:2 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise), Eph 6:3 SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH. 1 Thess 4:1 Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more. 1 Thess 4:2 For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 1 Thess 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. To summarize my answer to you, RFerg, You can't go wrong starting with the commands in the apostolic epistles (Romans through Revelation). There are a lot of them, I know, but they can be summarized in the Ten Commandments. These can be further summarized in the two greatest commandments, love God and love your neighbor. Ps 1:1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! Ps 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. Ps 1:3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. Peace, |

Why does the bible seem to contradict itself regarding the commandments of God? The contreversey is that we are no longer under the law and the Ten Commandments were under the law. The book of Galatians seems to be speaking of the law of circumcision but Roman's I'm not quit so sure. I can't get a clear understanding and when I get answers there seems to be other scriptures that contradict the ones I received (in the "Christian" Church.) The Ten Commandments teach us how to love God and our neighbor. The first 4 teach us how we are to love God the last 6 teach us how to love our neighbor. It would seem to me that these laws are spiritual (from beginning to end) but I don't have scripture to prove it. Why would God do away with the law's that teach us to love? There doesn't seem to be any burden in them. There is nothing that says do not touch, do not taste, works or sacrifices. The NT quotes them many times and the book of Rev. says 3 different times that Christ is returning for a church that keeps the commandments and the testimony of Jesus Christ. This contridicts that the Ten Commandments are not in effect because they are under the law. I continuelly hear we are saved by grace. Grace is God's unmerritted favor. The Father sent His Son to die for the penalty of our sin's, that's the grace we are saved by. He loved us when we were still sinners. Because we are saved by grace, does this mean we don't have to obey God? It's like being saved by grace is some kind of doctrine. I know that the covenant of the Rainbow is still in effect today. Is it possible that the Ten Commandments are a covenant seperate from the law and still in effect today? Thank for your help. |

Dear rferg, One your question about the commandments, I would refer you to the Transfiguration (Matt17:1-9; Mark 9:2-13; and Luke 9:28-36). Then read Matt 22:37, 39; Mark 12:30-31; and Luke 10:27; and John 13:34-35. Finally read Galatians 3:22-25. All of these contain, in essence, the Ten Commandments and more. I would like to point out that there were three witnesses when GOD Himself directly gave His sole commandment to them, "This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him." The next three commandments of GOD were given through Jesus, thus indirectly given. There is this slight difference. Now, if you compare the second and third commandments of GOD through Jesus, you will note that in the second there is no requirement for our neighbor (non-Christians) to love us back, but loving back is mandatory in the third for Christians (disciples) to love us back. Though seemingly few, these NT commandments cover all that are needed to comply. What's more, they are all stated in a positive manner. "Do" is more all-encompassing and authoritative than "Don't." Please tell me what you think. wayhunter, 01/10/03 |
