To what degree should the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) be followed by American Christians?
The Jews was lost and frighten they began to wander in the dessert, Moses the leader received a message from God to go to the top of Mount Sinai, on top of the mountain he was given two stones to write the Ten Commandments. Each stone was engraved with God’s laws on how he wanted them to live. The Ten Commandments continues into this new era so that people can obey the commands of God. I know that the Ten Commandments which Jesus spoke, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, honor thy father and thy mother, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself (Matthew 19:18-19 ESV).

There are a lot of things that Christians should continue following when the Jews lived back then. The spiritual part of the Old Testament is to begin a relationship with God and his children. It was designed to help guard the Israel in all the areas of life until the coming of Christ. The morals are that we as Christians should continue walking in and the Holy Spirit so that we can have a better relationship with God. We must be careful and not live by the old law because we can be harming our live and doing things in our flesh.
Also, address the place that Old Testament law should occupy in the pluralistic culture of the United States (e.g., posting the Ten Commandments in public buildings), recognizing and noting the differences between the U.S. and Old Testament Israel
The Ten Commandments is a guide for our lives so that we don’t sin. The United States most allow equal rights to everyone no matter where they reside. When the Ten Commandments was taking out of public places, it seems that corruption was bad. Allowing the words of the Ten Commandments in public places because it represent God who is our father. Taking the words of public place create problems for our youth, they are not able to distinguish between good and bad. Absence of the Ten Commandments allows the enemy to attack the minds of our children culture and religion because we should be a religious

  • Andrew Larson 's The Student 's ' Ten Commandments '

    1505 Words  | 4 Pages

    Concerning the nature of myths, one can often find that they are built on broad generalization lacking the premises necessary to make a solid conclusion. Such was the same myths, Pier Larson sought to disprove in his essay “The Student’s ‘Ten Commandments’.” Larson discuss damaging and caustic stereotypes that have worked their way throughout history to create a narrative that often subordinates Blacks when promulgated by a more affluent European society . One myth in particular appears to be quite troubling for its contradictory nature-that being the myth: all Africans are Black. Additionally, to be African is to be Black, Africans are not culturally diverse, and that Africans share one, essentially unified culture. Not only do I find these troubling for their outright abasement of African culture, which is plain to see, but rather for the duplicitous logic that lead to the creation of such myths, and why they remain so harmful when they are continued to be spread in contemporary.

    The book of Leviticus is filled with different rules and teachings. They were written down by priests. They were known as the Holiness Code. One of the most prominent teachings in this section of Leviticus was about the jubilee year. Every fifty years, debts should be forgiven, and people who have lost their property have an opportunity to get it back. I wish we had a jubilee year in our time because it would allow people who have been struggling with their life to regain their footing and start over.

  • The Greatest Commandment

    2250 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Greatest Commandment “to love God” is the first and greatest commandment of all. In researching this commandment I have found that to love God is truly what God really wants from all of us. The commandment is referenced in all four of the gospels of the New Testament as well as being referenced in the Old Testament through the Ten Commandments in which the New Testament was based on. This commandment is so powerful it is found in Luke 10:25-37, Mark 12:28-34, John 13:34-35 and Matthew 22:34-40. It is also found in Deuteronomy 6:5 and also based on the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1-17. Take for instance the gospel of Matthew in where the New Testament begins with the book of Matthew revealing the fulfillment of the prophecies in Jesus Christ, the long-awaited Messiah. Matthew was a Jewish tax collector for the Roman government who was called upon by Jesus to become one of the 12 apostles which often in his gospel will give us an eye witness account. Matthew wrote the gospel while living in Antioch, Syria after following Jesus between the years of A.D. 50-70. Matthews’s gospel provides an essential link between the Old and New Testament. Matthew 22:34-40 teaches us of the greatest commandment and what God wants from us foremost. In the scripture of Matthew 22:34-40 where this commandment is told by Jesus to the religious leaders, the Sadducees and the Pharisees who were attacking him and challenging him with one of the Pharisees in particular who was a lawyer decided to test Jesus in hopes of embarrassing him by asking: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?” (NIV, Matthew 22:36) Knowing that this was a difficult question because of the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament in which all are from ...
