[Daily verse and quote]

Sometimes when we are challenged by a statement which is contrary to our own, it should at least cause us to pause and re-evaluate our beliefs. So, in that way, we are able to grow in our faith and/or be assured that what we are believing is correct or not.

Obeying the Lord's commandments keeps us out of trouble.

Sorry John, but you're going to have to take that up with God who gave us that scripture. It may not be the best version, but it's a quote from the Bible.

I'm not disagreeing with the scripture. I'm disagreeing with the commentary.

[Daily verse and quote]

I certainly honor your thoughts regarding the commentary. Sometimes it's good to get a contrary opinion so that we can formalize our own thoughts on the matter. Please feel free to continue to challenge anything I (or others) may post. It helps me as well to get a contrary opinion.

OPINIONS  ---  ARE  THEY  SOLICITED  FROM  JESUS  OR  FROM  HIS  FATHER

 

3 JOHN 1:4  I have no greater joy than to hear that  MY  children walk in truth 

 

1 KINGS 18:21   and elijah came unto all the people and said how long halt you between two opinions ---if  THE  LORD  BE  GOD  follow  HIM--- but if baal then follow him--- and the people answered him not a word 

 

ROMANS 14:19  let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace ---and things wherewith one may edify another---

[other one]

I think I will keep the two that Jesus gave us and not focus on the ten he gave Moses.

In Matthew the Word speaks of Jesus dividing people up in two groups (Sheep and Goats) and it seems that those that were declared goats had not kept Jesus second commandment and were sent to hell over it....    Oddly enough nothing was said about the ten commandments....   so it appears that one can keep the ten commandments all our lives and still go to hell.

So be careful what set of commandments one promotes.
