Ten Commandment Day??

[CarolineS]

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone has heard of this website:

www.tencommandmentsday.com

Also, what is the Ten Commaandment Commission? It looks like they are gathering in Washington, DC on May 7th to bring attention to the Ten Commandments and their importance. Has anyone discussed this in their churches? I heard about it on TV. I am wondering if it will receive more media attention in the future.

I put this topic under prophey because I feel the Ten Commandments will be a dividing issue in the last days.

In Christ,

CarolineS

I'm sorry...I haven't heard of it.

I had heard about it, and promptly let it slip my mind; thank you so much for bringing back to my memory!

I was just reading some of the information posted at their web site.

Here is a sentence from a page on the Ten Commandment Commission:

"By making our voices heard in support of the Ten Commandments, we believe we will make a major societal impact by restoring God's eternal moral code to the heart of our nation."

They also ask people who value traditional moral values to celebrate Ten Commandment Sunday by hosting local community events in support of the Ten Commandments.

What exactly do they mean by "restoring God's eternal moral code to the heart of our nation"?

Why is the event being held on a Sunday? Something is wrong with this. Is the entire church asleep?

In Christ,

The ten commandments are the laws that lead to the knowledge of sin and point the way to grace.

This is not something that can be discussed in depth with someone that does not yet know that when we sin it is a sin against God. Matter of fact I was put in the possition not long ago of having to tell someone that every sin is against God and that even if we have not "committed them all" , (like people who are under conviction and yet try to justify themselves) any sin is sin...if we break God's law we have sinned against God. I was challenged to answer the question of the law verses sin??? And I was met with an angry response and told I was accusing them of something they once did. Ofcourse I did not such thing, but that was how they perceived what I said.

However, the good news is that we have a Saviour, Jesus Christ, and all we need do is ask His to forgive us and cleanse us from sin and He does. Easy as ABC...A admit you have sinned and ask His forgiveness,... B believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and ask Him into your heart... C confess Him publically.

I heard a preacher say it like this once. The ten commandments are like two doctors in a building. Dr Law is on one side of the hall and Dr Grace the other side. We go to Doctor Law, the Dr. who examines us to determine what is wrong and what specialist to send us to...then he sends us across the hall to the Specialist, The Great Physician, Dr Grace, for the cure.

Lets pray for the Lord to so move on the hearts of the people that their would be a great revival in America and that many souls would be saved. Lets not let those nay sayers remove anything else that is of God from our nation. We stood by and let many schools remove the Bible from the hands of teachers in public schools. For the sake of our nation and the furure generations of this nation, lets do all we can to keep Gods word everywhere we can. The Ten Commandments belongs in our nations judicial system and any where else we can display them.

Greetings,

I wanted to draw attention to this topic because I am concerned as to where this movement is going.

We now have a group of Christians who have started a grass roots movement to restore the Ten Commandments to their rightful place in society. This group is inviting all Christians to join in a national and global movement to restore the word of God to our nation.

Christians are encouraged to join together in unity with one voice to support the bedrock principles that made our country great--the Ten Commandments.

Some of the supportors listed on their site are:

Chuck Colson

James Dobson

Rev. Jerry Falwell

Rev. Pat Robertson

Rabbi Yehuda David Greenberg

Jay Sekulow

(and these are just a few I wrote down)

The site states, "we are committed to bring the Word of God back to our nation."

Don't you see how easily this could lead to some type of legislation or laws regarding the Ten Commandments? This could lead to some type of Sunday law. I have heard ministers state that we need to return to the law of God to get our nation back on track. Some have even suggested that Sunday should be a day of rest or a family day. What does this movement mean to those of us who keep the Sabbath?

What will it mean in the future?

I think we need to stay informed of this Ten Commandments group. They have good and sincere intentions, but I think they could take us somewhere I don't want to go.

In Christ,

Greetings,

I am surprised no one has heard of the Ten Commandments Commission and the first annual Ten Commandments Sunday taking place on May 7, 2006 in Washington, DC.

Our church is offering a free book about the Ten Commandments to anyone who is interested. The books are being ordered at church, we only have to pay for the shipping.

The book is called: The Antichrist Agenda Ten Commandments Twice Removed.

If anyone is interested in the book, just PM me and I will send you a copy.

In Christ,
