Ten Commandments Theory


The Pharisees had check lists. Every thing was fine if you followed all the laws. Public demonstrations of faith were their strong suit.  They would and do love all the time spent by our public officials who are eager to display the Ten Commandments on Courthouse lawns and Capital Grounds. 

Do you think that none believers will see  this idol and think about Jesus?  They will probably think of Charlton Heston, both for the movie and the NRA. 


They look at Jewish law as the basis for Christianity.  Actually, Jesus is that basis.

Jesus did not promote Jewish Law.  He said that the greatest commandment was to love GOD with all our heart, mind and strength. He said the second command is to love you neighbor as yourself.
He said, "There is no commandment greater than these."

How come we are not wanting to put these two commandments on the lawns?

For that matter if you want to display your faith put it in your own yard.

Sometimes we turn into Jewish Pharisees. It is easier to look at the 10 commandments than to love each other.
