Christ reaffirmed the 10 Commandments,


Here are a few Commandments. I'm curious if Jesus reaffirmed ALL of them or just some?

Exodus says to "Take care not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, or it will become a snare among you. You shall tear down their altars, break their pillars, and cut down their sacred poles."

I'm curious how you abided by that commandment without breaking any property laws?

What about For six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; Have you ever played a game of baseball or drank a beer on Sunday (or Saturday)? I sure hope not.

You shall observe the festival of weeks, the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the festival of ingathering at the turn of the year.

I don't even know what this one is, Nash. But do you observe it? I sure hopes so, man. The price for breaking a commandment is . . . Well, kinda rough.

you shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, and the sacrifice of the festival of the passover shall not be left until the morning.

So what do you sacrifice in the morning of the passover?

This one is a little strange: You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

What do you make of that one, Nash?

The "graven images" C'ment says, You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me,

So do you support this "3rd and 4th generation" punishment policy? I can see perhaps one or two generations but people who piss me off got what's coming to them. But 4th generation? Seriously?


Those are not commandments except for the last one. Since I've already addressed why Christians do not follow those old laws many times, I won't repeat myself again.

As for the last one, not worshiping idols, Jesus summed it up by saying "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment."

It's also basic Christianity that Christ died in our place. That answers your question about the punishment of generations as mentioned in the OT.

Again, all of this has been explained many times over. You're trying to disprove theology with theology, isn't that circular reasoning?
