First off let us look at what God has told us about His comamndments!!Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;to a thousand generations WOW!! This means forever & ever .
Religion (pharisees ,and heretics,,,ya that's right....changed God's coammands again as in the times of our Lord; into Legalism.......that's right!!
Look at this!!we are going to line up God's Commands & SEE
this is what God had me to do
#1 You shall have no other gods before Me (do not pray to anything or any one or any spirit or obey nor bow to , Only God:do we obey God? or serve a law?
we obey God
#2Thou shall not have any carved images, no graven images, any likeness of anything that is in heaven or in earth nor bow down to them,nor serve them,for the Lord thy God is a Jealous God:do we obey God? or serve law?we obey God.
God goes on to say;visiting iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the 3rd & 4th generation of them that Hate Me; And showing Mercy unto them that Love Me & Keep, and keep My Commandments WOW huh?do away with your statues,crosses with an image of Christ carved on it, or any other spirit of the dead(Beware)
#3 Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain;for the Lord will not hold them guiltless that takes His Name in Vain(not to swear falsly by His Holy Name nor to cuss His Holy Name.Do we obey God? or serve law? we obey God
#4 Remember the sabbath day ,to keep it Holy.6 days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: v.10 but the 7th day(Saturday)is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:in it you shall do no work, nor your son or daughter,nor your man servant nor your maidservant, nor your cattle nor the stranger in thy gates. ****v.11 in 6 days the Lord made heaven & earth,He (RESTED) on the 7th day:wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day ^ & hallowed it. sabbath means rest Not Worship, keep it Holy? Do nothing of the world that is of your own pleasure , only if it glorifies God.didn't the Lord heal on the sabbath?........see if you serve the day, you are behaving as a pharisee,legalism,but if you just rest the body*(His Temple)just glorify Him ,if you do not rest the body, you do not obey God. If you serve the day (legalism) then you cannot even travel 1 mile from your home, God did not mean that!!!Now, do you obey God & Rest,glorifying Him? or do we obey God? or do we serve Law? We obey God.
#5 Honor thy Father & Mother ,that your days might be long upon the earth.Do we obey God & honor our parents ? or do we serve law? We Obey God
