basics Posted by poolboyjames on July 30, 2010 at 8:47 PM comments (0)ok here i have looked in my Bible and compiled the 10 commandments.. recently i feel that it is important to be clear on God's commandments, and not only His commandments but also His opinions, the way He thinks, the way He sees things, etc etc
so i guess as a start, i decided to go back to the basics.. hopefully with time i will be able to work my way up and continue to learn more and more about the Lord and His thoughts and His will for us The 10 Commandments: 1. I am the Lord, you shall have no other gods before me. 2. You shall not make any idol for yourself. You shall not bow down to- or worship any idol. 3. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God. (^do not take the Lord's name in vain, use His name only appropriately and/or with reverence.) 4. Remember the sabbath day, and 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; you nor your family or livestock shall do any work. The seventh day is blessed and consecrated by the Lord. (after reading this^, i am confused as to why we routinely go to church on sunday as opposed to saturday) 5. Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord is giving you. 6. You shall not commit murder. 7. You shall not commit adultery. 8. You shall not steal. 9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, their male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. (do not want something that isn't yours.. this seems a bit odd because its like.. wow just WANTING something is wrong? but if u think about it, maybe God is saying stop jealousy, envy, and everything that comes with those things BEFORE THEY TAKE ROOT.. why? because James 3:16 says: For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.) Jesus's "extra" commandment: "love one another as I have loved you" john 15:12 the only unforgivable sin: "truly i tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty an eternal sin" - for they have said, "He has an unclean spirit" mark 3:28 (also found in matthew 12:31-32)
