Discuss Exodus 20 Page 11

Does your son still not agree with pictures?

"He sent not another god but the word in the flesh" yes, I can grasp this very well.. it is an interesting concept in general but put this way, I can grasp now ..how and why Christ came to be ...

Thank you so much for your generosity, helping a stranger better grasp the word... very kind. : )

Sincerely,

Brooke

Very good information, thank you kindly.

Thanks for the info

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Deuteronomy 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Please, you took the time to share some knowledge with me, I am grateful.. mistakes are ok as we are all students of life ..

Very kind of you to share your time and I thank you..

Thank you, that was a very good explanation and it's very much appreciated..

Sincerely...

Brooke, to iterate: God the Father did not send another god. He sent forth His Word, Who was then given flesh to be a man, to minister God's requirements for His people & also ultimately lay down His Life for them & us. But this concept is difficult to understand. E.g., in Gen 19:1, we read of two angels whom God sent to warn & protect Lot's family & to pronounce judgement to the people of Sodom. These angels were changed by God to be men of that day so they appeared as visitors to Lot. Heb 13:2 tells us "not to forget to (welcome) strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares". God can change a person or angel physically, so it should not be difficult to understand that He can send forth His Word thru prophets (as He did in the past to His people) but the Jews disobeyed & rejected it. Now He sends His Spoken Word out clothed in human flesh that they might have witness again of His Love & Patience & the result - the Jews put Him to death. Read an apt parable: Mt 21:28-46

Thank you, this is perhaps one of the easiest to understand and perhaps the truest, as far as I can see so far.

Thank you to those that took the time to help me understand why, after telling us to have no other god before him, he would send another god his son, for us to worship. Is the trinity the only biblical reference to this? I do love the Lord and Christ, I'm having difficulty understanding this that I have asked, and your input is very much appreciated.

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry as I got that commandment mixed up with the second commandment. It applies to graven images. The other thing I usually say is that to understand the Bible, it is always good to also talk to your minister or priest or leader of your church as then you can discuss it in more detail and get and give instant feed back. He generally has more experience in responding; and because of that, would not make mistakes like I do. I like that part of the second commandment so much; and it is so powerful;I simply over done it.

Your questions are not offensive and there is nothing wrong with learning the truth and hopefully you will accept things by faith as you learn. God commandment is to have no other Gods before him; and it is a power commandment visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourthgenerationof them that hate me;

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

He sent Christ to die for us and our sins. What do you mean was it a trick We know that it happened in fulfillment as it was predicted in full filament of prophecy; and there were witnesses etc...

Brooke, this is even difficult for mature Christians to fully understand, as God presents Himself in a way that is beyond the realm of our human understanding & experience. We believe that God is One God, but He, in His Power, sent forth His Word to Earth to fulfil His Will. This Word was made a man, Jesus, (see Jn 1:1-14) for the sole purpose to present God's Word to His people & to give His Life for them. Jesus would pay the price of their sin through death & resurrection, so by believing, the people would not have to be cast in hell as punishment. And, those who believed had help to live this new life, so were given God's Spirit. This is God's Fullness:Father, Son & Spirit: ONE God only.

Hello, because Jesus is God. JOHN 10:30

If God commands "thou shall have no other Gods before me", then why did he send Jesus Christ How do we know that it was not a trick

Thank you very much, I hope not to be offensive but to learn the truth.

That scripture NEVER said there should be no other god before or after me IN HEAVEN! There is NO mention of heaven! Read before you abuse the scripture its meaning! It is directing at those people who were making idols and worshipping them in mockery against God during Moses absence.

The Bible doesn't say anywhere to pray to Mary. No other Christians do this, but Catholics and there's any scriptural basis for this. It specifically says not to have images or graven images (idols) and Catholic temples have idols all over the place, not just of Mary but others too. Exodus 20:4-6 2 Timothy 4:3-4

I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;


Thank you Lord!

The Bible is clear, the Sabbath is a day of rest for all people. Exodus 20: 8-11 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Mark2:27,28- the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath. Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath. Ex. 16:18-20, Christ a Sabbath keeper, Luke 4: 16. Luke 23:52-54-56. Throughout the new testament the Christians kept the Sabbath. Acts 13:14, Acts 13:42-44, Acts 16:11-13.

The ten commandments are my favorite thing to read on the Sabbath day(Saturday) and everyday before I go to bed.

Tona Mondesir.. Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill..We all have made mistakes and done things in our life that we regret, the beautiful part of having a heart relationship with Jesus Christ is that we can ask for forgiveness for our sins and then like Jesus told the woman at the well in John 8:11 go and sin no more. Also in 1 John 2:1 And if anyone sin, we have an advocate of the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. We have help if we want it, Satan is the one, who after we confess our sins continues to make us feel guilty and ashamed of our sins..Jesus said I forgive you we must believe it..Faith

There is no biblical advice I can give you. Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. Even if she is the only one. She is not your wife.

Mark 2:27,28, Luke 4:16, Matt. 12:8, Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 31:15-17, Exodus 35:2. From these texts The day of the Lord and the Lord day is the same. Even Jesus custom was to go into the synagogue on the Sabbath. As Christians we are to follow Christ example, obey His commandments.

Exodus 20:8 , Exodus 31:14-16 , Isaiah 56:2 , Isaiah 58:13 , Mathew 12:1-12 , Mark 2:27 , Luke 6:9 , Luke 13:10-16 ,

Mathew 12:8
Mark 2:28
Luke 6:5

When you curse and use God's name in it is one way

Good day. I have sent comments regarding scripture . i would please like your view on Genisis 2: 2 and Exodus 20: please read from Exodus 20: regarding the the Sabbath .when did the deviation from the Sabbath to the sunday come about and in your opinion is it justified and why so. please advise . Regards Rodney

Thank you..this I truly believe also..

Galatians 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. - Matthew 12:1, Mark 2:23, Luke 6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

Matthew 5:33-35, - Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth, Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

On Exodus 20:8-11 the commentary says One day in seven is to be kept holy The 4th commandment says Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy, verse 10 says the 7th day is the sabbath. Don't be fooled into thinking that you can take just any day for the sabbath. God says a specific day 7th is to be kept holy.
