Dear Brother Richard in Christ,

You stated a long list of sins that can be committed.....the list is probably much longer....and I do understand your point. You make a good point, and I also do believe that any sin committed can be attributed to one of the 10 Commandments in "one form or fashion".

I think most christians will agree our goal is to live as sin free as possible, but when we fail... we need to ask for forgiveness and try a little harder. God surely knows if we are trying or not.

In summary, I will say that disregarding any of the 10 Commandments will most surely be problematic for many.

Many if not most Christians today just throw the 4th Commandment in the trash....in my opinion not a good way to start a successful journey to heaven.

I don't want to follow the crowds......

Matthew 7:14

"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

Why does Jesus say this? Does he mean it? I think he does, and I believe him!

I want to be with the FEW THERE THAT FIND IT!

God Bless

Why does Jesus call himself the Son of man at times and not the Son of God always ?

Yes surely missionaries are apostles, but I am referring to the office of an apostle not the definition of apostle.

5 Fold to start the church read your scriptures.

3 fold now the office of prophets and apostles is found today in THE WORD OF GOD.

The WORD is the foundation or should be the foundation for any true church

If you feel you need to here from some modern day prophet or apostle you are mistaken.

Heaven and earth will pass away but my WORD will live forever

Eph 2:20 Apostles and Prophets are foundation

Foundation is put down once

CHRIST is the HOLY SPIRIT if you read Colossians Chap 1 "Christ in You!"

And HE is the Chief Cornerstone

This is the era for evangelists , pastors and teachers

The Unity of the FAITH is the WORD of GOD

We now have a complete bible not letters here and there

This is what leads to not being TOSSED by every wind of DOCTRINE

The BIBLE is the STANDARD

Perhaps you should stop reading so many other books and just stick to scripture

Perhaps you will than be able to RIGHTLY divide the WORD of TRUTH

No other documents are needed just the bible

Line upon line precept upon precept

If you rely on some other person to lead you to the truth you are greatly mistaken

What does FOUNDATION mean to you?

I am not talking about missionaries.

I am talking about the men GOD CHOSE, CALLED and gave power to.

To not only do signs and wonders but who wrote the very words of the New Testament

These were special messengers with a divine calling.

A season for everything under the sun.

Do you think Until we all come to the Unity of the faith means for eternity?

Because if you have not checked there are over 4000 different faiths, so when are we expected to have unity?

The word of God brings UNITY to all who discover the hidden truths

God will have Mercy on whom he will have Mercy

and God will harden whomsoever he hardens

Bible says put your trust in No Man

God bless to all first of all, I have seen a lot of discussion on the commandment this is my view, Yes we we are commanded to follow obey and let these commandments be the guidance of our lives, and inm sure we all wake up when he wakes to follow each and everyone but as we see in the bible it also a great large list too very wide of what not to do, but do we understand that God has already let us know and told us in his word, we were conceived in sin, and saved by the shedding of his blood, but yet we are still sinners, we wrestle against the flesh inside of us each day, He already knows we can not follow each commandment each and every day, God know we will fall and fail on daily bases, it is why he says come to him to confess our sins, sincerely ask for repentance and forgiveness. Now we all know this does not mean go on keep sinning because God will forgive us, no indeed!!! that would be disastrous and dangerous to our salvation to do that. I believe God means and teaches us in the bible each day, rise up and do your very best to not sin, have an eye on on the enemy, be able to identify him, don"t stay focused on him keep your eye, your mind, your heart stayed on the Father, so we may use the tools the Lord has given us to overcome him and the sinful life. God yet again, says there is no one without sin no not one. We must remember to discuss the bible and all his truth with love and kindness, let's fall into the role of judgement toward each other, if some ones says something we don"t agree we must say we don't agree, or maybe say nothing and pray for the other person so that they may find the truth, and lovingly and move on share the good news we know, let's be careful in judging others how they were taught where they were taught, leave judgment and correcting up to our Father God for he he knows how to teach and correct us. Let share the word in love. Love all God Bless

A Christian who genuinely follows Jesus can have assurance of salvation, but no one is technically saved until after they are judged on Judgment Day. Those who believe the opposite have a lot of hurdles to overcome and rationalize, like why someone would go to heaven or hell before they are even judged, or why people would go to heaven, only to come down to earth to re-enter their old bodies, only to meet Jesus in the air and go back to heaven- all before judgment apparently.

Instead, people will more likely die and be 'asleep' until Christ comes, then will rise and ascend to a place of judgment. Some believe in a waiting place like purgatory, but I think there's ample scriptural evidence that says we'll just be asleep. Even if a thousand years passes, to the person sleeping it will likely only seem like only a second has passed before you wake and be judged.

Why wouldn't God call women to preach? God shows no partiality ( Romans 2:11) and can use anybody to do His will ( 1 Corinthians 1:27). Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, Isaiah's wife, and Anna were given the authority to speak to the people on the behalf of God and thus preached the Word of God. Go back and read Romans 16:1-15 about the 10 women who where in ministry who held leadership positions.

You are so right brother dan , its not complicated ,we all know the standard that Christ set for us to follow ,things only get complicated if we find ourselves in situations that as Christians we shouldnt have allowed ourselves to get sucked into in the first place , keep our own lives as simple as we possibly can and dont look for problems where there arent any , if we are thoroughly grounded in our faith ,if we trust in Gods love and mercy and if we are trying every day to keep the life and example of Christ before us ,things are very simple ,always do the right thing ,even if it results in ourselves being the loser its worth it ,know when to argue and when to just leave people to their own ego's ,Jesus knew it was pointless talking to some people ,so should we .

Please know that the Bible from Romans- Jude is written to the Brethren. It is to the people and churches that came from the book of Acts who were water baptized in Jesus Christ name or in the name of the Lord (Jesus is his name) & they were filled w the Holy Ghost as the Spirit gave utterance. Jesus gave the keys of the kingdom of heaven to Peter. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost". It is for everyone. Go to the book of Acts & receive salvation ( Acts 2:38) & then all may continue on in the chapters from Romans thru Jude. The epistles (letters) were written to the already saved.

Pray for my complete physical, mental, and emotional healing. Also, pray for my husband to be saved to know God for himself and his word, the Bible. God has a calling on his life. Pray off the strongholds out of his life so that our marriage can be restored the way God ordained it to be; so, we can continue God's ministry together.

It's amazing, the Christian world ignores Acts 2, especially the thirty eighth verse.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." This verse is self explanatory!! Repent, be baptized in Jesus name for the REMISSION OF YOUR SINS and you (everybody) will receive the Holy Ghost.So why does most of the Christian world ignore Acts 2:38? This is the instructions to obtain salvation.The Church began on that day, the day of Pentecost.THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH began on that day in Acts, which is the only church Jesus died and bled for! Most of the Christian world seems to admit repentance is necessary for salvation. But they seem to believe baptism is ONLY symbolic and has no real impact on salvation. Yes baptism is symbolic, just as Jesus is the symbolic sacrificial lamb who was slain on Calvary for our sins!! Paul explains the importance of baptism in Romans chapter 6. Baptism is necessary for salvation.

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him (Jesus) by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk--- in newness of life.What is that

"newness of life"? Its remission of sins! When our sins are remitted, they are gone and forgiven. But their our sins are only remitted if baptism is done in Jesus name after repentance. And Paul explains why baptism is necessary in Romans 6.

Brother Dan, may CHRIST IN US grace you HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

I am going to QUOTE YOU.

It's very simple, the 10 commandments.

Jesus said:

John 14:15

If you love me keep my commandments.

This is not supposed to be complicated.

Believe and trust in what Jesus says.

This is exactly what he told Israel. If they would have keep his commandments they would have remained in a right relationship with God. They would not have needed a NEW COVENANT. Since keeping God's commandments is so simple and easy; WHY NOT JUST DO IT and you will not need the NEW COVENANT; But, history proves this effort fails one hundred percent.

Ezekiel 36:25-27 .... I WILL CAUSE YOU TO WALK IN MY STATUTES....

Believe and trust in what JESUS SAYS.

Good post Adam. Our righteousness is to exceed those who tried to follow the whole law of Moses. Having the Holy Spirit to guide, and teach, us the right way. Which is after Jesus Christ our Lord. The way, the truth, and the life!

God Bless.

To Mary Cooley: In the book of Jude 1:20: "But ye beloved, building up your most holy faith praying in the Holy Ghost". This is praying to the Lord in a language between you & him. It's from your heart to his. Bible says it edifies your faith

To Mary Cooley: In the book of Jude 1:20: "But ye beloved, building up your most holy faith praying in the Holy Ghost".

Hi Brother Dan,

As I'm sure you've seen my previous posts about this. I'm sorry if my perspective offends you but it is way more vast than just the Ten Commandments. If that was all God wanted us to follow that would be pretty simple. I'm going to put together a list for you of just some things we are to avoid.

Some people think to "love one another" is simple. Actually it can be the hardest thing in life. To put loving others before everything, even your own self.

This is also just a simple list to guide us and is not everything we must repent of or stay away from: evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murder, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness, Being filled with all unrighteousness, maliciousness, full of envy, debate, malignity, whisperers, Backbiters, despiteful, proud, boasting, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, uncleanness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, drunkenness/drugs, revellings, lovers of their own selves, boasters, unthankful, unholy, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, love of pleasures more than loving God, sowing discord between bretheren, filthy communication out of your mouth, cursing, anger, etc. Then this posted after several places "they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

It is much more vast than just the Ten Commandments. This is why God has Blessed us to receive the Holy Ghost and we are to live after the Spirit of Christ in us. Not after the flesh. Which we are in these bodies until our journey here is over. Our fight is to war against what is evil(in the flesh) and do good(live after the Spirit). Stated at the end of Galatians if we strive to produce good fruit of the Spirit against such there is no law.

God Bless.

Thanks Brother Earl.

God Bless.

When you have a problem taking care of people in their last days, you can forget God is near. You react against yourself when you see their pain is bad and the system rules they cannot have pain medicine. So what l did this morning was fight for him thru our Lord Jesus Christ. For His sufferings for our sins, cannot be worse then the problems that mankind has with the enemy of this world. So l decide to fight for all mankind going through things..not just this person l take care of. For in the Bible l ask for help from the Mighty Light of God's word.

You may be in difficult times. Don't get discouraged. Just remember how God has already parted the Red Sea many a time in your life and delivered you. On your knees and read God's words what He wants for you. The best is yet to come....

Hello,

John 14:15 where Jesus says to obey His commandments, He didn't specify to only obey the 10 Commandments and He didn't say to only obey the greatest commandments. He didn't specify or narrow it down to which commandments, so by default, I believe it means all of them. I think this includes things spoken to us through the Holy Ghost, as it says in John 14:26...

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

James 2:10. We should strive to be obedient, while loving and forgiving ourselves too when we get off track. Ephesians 2:8.

Brother Richard in Christ,

It's very simple. The 10 Commandments.

Jesus said:

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

This is not supposed to be complicated.

Believe and trust what Jesus says.

God Bless

I understand "no new thing under the sun " to pertain to human beings ,earthly things , the way we are ,as humans we have changed our enviroment significantly but we as a species are no better at all ,we are still murdering lying greedy selfish idolators etc ,all this technological progress but we still have people dying of starvation ,the haves still have and the have nots are still doing without even the basic necessities and we all turn our faces away ,roll over in bed and pull the covers over our heads and go to sleep ,we dont change ,weve always been the same .

The old testament is a big part of the Rock of my Salvation ! Jesus was brought up with it ,studied it believed it ,it would have been an enormous strength and comfort to him to actually read about himself in it and its a massive strengthener and comfort to me also ,any one who ignores it is missing out on a large chunk of Gods words and interaction with humans , it helps us to understand Him and ourselves better ,its a true treasure ,ignore it and you are really seriously missing a limb ! Thats how important it is .If God has spoken to us i want to know what He said ! Dont you ? !

Hi Eric Lopez ,i hope you are able to see that we are all Job ,we will all suffer heartbreak and loss and troubles in this life ,as long as we stick with God and dont allow ourselves to become bitter when troubles come to us , Mark ch 10 , v17-31 , stay strong Eric ,you are surely on the right path .

Wow this is really important. May we gain our souls O Lord. Ask and it shall be given. I ask that I keep my soul. Even if I have to lose my life.

Brother S Spencer; not much anyone can add, when answers are correct.

Brother Michael,

You and others here are confusing and trying to complicate the issue....by trying to mix in the old ceremonial laws into the 10 Commandments.

Below you state:

Do you keep God's commandments by getting circumcised as per Leviticus 12:3?

Do you keep God's commandments and dwell in booths for seven days every year as per Leviticus 23:42?

Do you make fringes on the border of your garments as per God's commandment at Numbers 15:38?

Do you go up to Jerusalem three times a year as per God's commandment at Exodus 23:17?

God's 10 Commandments DO NOT include any of the above listed old testament ceremonial laws.

Brother Michael: Do you believe this scripture verse below spoken by Jesus?

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

God bless

( Revelation 10:11) And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

This is a reference to the testimony of the one hundred forty four thousand sealed Israelites during the great tribulation; the book eaten in vs 10 is the Bible. This must occur, their daily prophesy against anti-christ, at the sixth trumpet, till before the seventh trumpet: vs 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel (trumpet), when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

The two witnesses, the unsung hero's, will be getting the attention of media and kings for 42 months.

Dear Brother Vince,

I agree, when we read the Bible and pray for understanding from God's Holy Spirt we are blessed with full understanding.

We SHOULD NOT depend on men or the church to guide us.....but the TRUE scripture.

It's hard for me to observe many modern day christians and church's believing that they can ignore God's 10 Commandment's.

To me, it all boils down to the most powerful verse spoken by Jesus Christ:

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

This verse is small but it says it ALL....

If we disagree with this verse, we disagree with Jesus Christ!

God Bless

Michael, Ecclesiasticus is what is considered an Apocryphal Book, i.e. a book amongst some other books that were not considered to be included in the Canon of Scripture. These intertestamental books were not accepted by the Jews & those who compiled the Scriptures we have now left them out because they failed certain tests applied to them. However, some Bibles, e.g. the Catholic Edition have some of those books in them and you can view the books on this Website, under "More" at the head of this page.

please keep Kristie and myself in your prayers today , please pray the Lord gives her the strength and courage to do what is before her
