Discuss Exodus 20 Page 14

to Coral - it is confusing isn't it? Not just the question regarding the translation from Hebrew, but also that specific commandment. My take on it is they're both right, the KJV translation is reverentially accurate, not always perfectly literal but reverentially correct. The second part of your question, tough one, the answer can only be distilled from the entire text of the bible - any help?

Is it thou shall not kill or is it thou shall not murder. There is a very distinct difference. King James version says kill. Niv version says murder. Many people's lives were ended during the displacement of people occupying the land God had chosen for his people. Were they killed or murdered ?

to keep GOD "s law it is very good.also to the sabbath holy.

I believe that as Christian's we all should keep the lord commandments,even the ones that are non Christian but till believe there a god,because that why he give Moses the law for his people's to follow,it a way of god's guidance to live for ever...just want to say I am new to the sabbath and am trying to learn more each day so if there any one out there that can give me guidance on it (I love it)

I don't understand. How is it that everyone agrees that we should keep all the Commandments
and yet, make excuses, in my opinion, about the 7th day? "Remember the 7th day to keep it holy." On my calendar the 7th day is Saturday. Please explain how this one commandment is
broken? When were the generations given permission, by our Father in heaven, to change this
commandment? Please help!

The law points to Christ,man does not have the ability to be justified under the law.

this is definetly going in my book. I'm writing for teenagers that want to get saved and learn more about god I'm in teen years myself and have been a christain almost all my life but I haven't started really growing in his word and feeling REAL joy till the previous year and I must say its one of the best feelings on earth I want other teens such as myself to feel the same joy I feel for god

The Laws of God hold true to all generations ushering us into Grace and Mercy. Lord let me have nothing in my life lifted up as a god.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. I can not understand why anyone would do that, but think that some Christians do; and i think that they should be aware of the chance that they take. Ver 12 is also so important for the young people and anyone who wants to live long.

Hello KJV Bible Authorities, I believe, your "Verse of the Day Inspirational Image" will be blessing to many. I would ask your permission to allow me to send this daily to my friends circle in WhatsApp. So that God may touch their hearts through His living Word!

Sometimes we have to live with parents who are non believers so it makes this law challenging but honoring them does not mean we have to agree with them, it means honor their wishes and if you find you have broken this rule, repent.

No matter how educated and wise we get as we age, we should always respect and have patience with our aging parents.

Amen to reepect every elderly person but beginning from home,if you learn to love in your home then definitely your God you will love,and your neighbour you will love,its clear this commandment has a benefit,a blessing for obeying it hence him who does not obey perishes

I like studing the Bible.

My parents are gone ! To the best of my ability I believe that I honored my parents . Wether my or your parents were ugly and treated us shamefully : I believe that we are to honor our parents : Parents can sometimes be cruel There is possiblely something that is disturbing them that makes them the way they are. That our days may be long on this earth : honor to whom honor is due : And that includes parents !!! I believe that we as God's children that God will give us the ability to do so. Through the power of Holy Spirit.

Honor and respect your parents. Children that disrespect their parents develop a bad habit of disrespecting authority and disregarding sound advice. A child left alone is headed for destruction. As a public school teacher I see this play out constantly. You will have bad odds in life if you won't listen.

Revelation 22:14-15 Blessed are they that do his Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

As it is very true that have to follow Gods 10 commandmends, that others di not. Yet some people who are not catholic jump on catholics for not obeying his commandment, but news flash so is the baptist, and many others who worship on sunday. in the new testment jesus worshiped on the sabbath. After he died all the apos. and dis. worship on the sabbath. God did not change the Sabbath, man did.

The Law Of God is aLaw of Love to obey it is to show love 2 God and Love 2 Man 2 disobey it is 2 Sin against Him and against man but D power 2 obey must come from God Him self because we are sinners by nature and its not in us 2 do Good We must receive from Him A change of Heart and mind A new spirit B 4 we can give Him acceptable service

Chapter two is magnifying glass on the sixth day of creation. It shows us Awesome God, who finished the creation week with the seventh day as memorial of creation, and of Himself as our God. He blessed it and sanctified it and maid it Holy. In Exodus 20:8 He told us to Remember to keep the seventh day Holy! And out of all commandments of God we forgot this one that He says to Remember!

Lets follow jesus for ever

Using Church or Religion as a whip, to guilt an individual or group of individuals, to serve the speakers or a specific group's personal agenda, is, to me, a form of taking the Almighty's name in vain.

It means, do not kill ANYTHING... Animals OR humans... We are all struggling souls have no idea of the misery torture we inflict by eating animals... Genesis 1:29-30 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of ALL the earth, and every tree,in that which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed to you it shall be for meat 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: And it was so...

Verse 4 clearly talks about graven images and i'm getting a picture of how God detests such with a passion. Read on its own or in conjunction with other scriptures on graven images, it cannot escape one's notice that they are expressly forbiden. God is a jealous God. So where do catholics get their authority to form graven images and shamelessly place them conspicuously in their places of worship with impunity? Definitely not the bible!

The jewish law was revolutionised by the coming of Jesus.unless u are born again u will never see the kingdom of God.

The 7th day sabbath is Gods true day of worship Sunday is by decree of man not God nowhere have I found in the bible that suports the beleif the God changed the 7th day to sun the 1st day

NEVER WORSHIP GRAVEN IMAGES,THEY ARE JUST MAN MADE,MADE OF WOODS OR STONES FOR GOD IS A SPIRIT,we cannot see HIM but we need to believe HE IS D CREATOR of us all..amen...

I understand it to include any image of anything in heaven, on earth and inder the earth - this includes pictures, videos, TV, YouTube, Facebook and such things.

My concern lies within Exodus 20:4 5. The Bible says: "Thou shall not make thyself any graven image, of any likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth." Verse 5 says, "Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them for I the Lord is a jealous God... "I am a Core Catholic!" Then, my concern relies on whether the "Images Chaplets" and other 'Sacramentals' used by the Catholic Church Worldwide violates this particular Law since they only make use of them bow down to them in acknowledgment of God in Heaven, and not for any other god on earth or anywhere else. In fact, I have heard so many Christians of other faiths like: The Lords Chosen, RCC, Assemblies of God Church etc criticising Catholic Church and their Doctrines. Some even go a long mile condemning them aptly reckoning it as an "Occultic Church." But still, the same people, 'll take pictures, enlarged images and keep for themselves, make larges format prints and place in their Churches even at their altars without using them in God's glory. So who is doing the right thing?
