Which ones do you agree with? The Jews had many laws given by God, dietary, health, marriage, priestly, clothing, etc., in all the details, 613 laws. "... stone him to death with stones; ..." ~ Deuteronomy 21:18-21 └─> Many laws resulted in capital punishment. ... observe to do according to all the law ... ~ Joshua 1:7 They were expected to keep all the law. <─┘ ... whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. ... ~ James 2:8-13 These Ten Commandments were part of the old covenant. The Law was shown pointing out all as falling devotionally short. ... dead to the law through the body of Christ, ... ~ Romans 7:4-7 The ultimate law of God is life-giving. <─┘ "... What do I still lack?" ... ~ Matthew 19:16-21 └─> Do you put things before the righteousness of God? 10. Do not Covet. ... for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. ... ~ 2nd Corinthians 3:4-11 └─> God delivered us from a burden we could not bear. ... put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, ... ~ Colossians 3:1-11 God has made it clear what He wants us to work on.
~ Romans 13:8-14 ~ His consequences are also clear. "... all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." ~ Revelation 21:8 → He wants us to genuinely pursue self control, ~ along with outward honesty as well as inward. ┌─> Inwardly lusting, including window shopping in one’s own mind.

"Honor your father and mother," ... ~ Ephesians 6:1-3 5. Honor your Father and Mother. We are asked to honor others. Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, ... ~ 1st Timothy 5:1-2 → In just these previous six civil commands, the world is still in great conflict with God. The New Testament does not specify to observe the the Sabbath day. ... sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. ~ Colossians 2:11-17 ... he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. ... ~ Hebrews 4:9-11 ... "The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath." ... ~ Luke 6:5-11
So many people want the Sabbath but ignore the other commandments. 4.
Many understand that cursing with G.D. or J.C. is rampant among our civilization. More to the point for the rising faithful, - don’t rubber stamp God and not show respect to His name by overuse. 3. Not Take the Name of God in Vain. How is it man looks to the tangible for the intangible? ... two calves of gold, and said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem.
