Bible Question:
Hi, Moses brought down the 10 commandments [Exodus20] and the Laws as enumerated in Exodus21 more than 2000 years ago.Living conditions, life style,human behavior and etc,etc.have since changed considerably. Thus, how relevant are these Laws to the present time? Maybe, some of these can be considered as obsolete! Your comments, please. With Love in Christ. FytRobert |
Bible Answer: FytRobert, Let's put your question in personal perspective. Is it now ok for me to kill you, bear false witness against you, commit adultery with your wife or lust after your wife and property? Are those commandments obsolete? And is it obsolete to worship God and use his name in vain or to worship idols or false Gods? If we fail to worship God and acknowledge His authority over our lives, why should we even consider His other commandments regarding how we relate to our neighbors? I do not believe human behavior has changed at all in the past 4,000 years. Emmaus |
