THE DECALOGUE

 

Law, announced then, was not intended solely  for Jews. God gave them the distinction of being the guards and overseers of The law, which was to be preserved as a sacred legacy to the world. The principles apply to all of humanity 's, they were given for all manual and a guide to life. Ten quick, comprehensive and clear principles express the human responsibilities in relation to God and to others, and they are all based on the fundamental principle of love. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself" (Luke 10.27; see also Deut 6.4-5 , Lev 19.18). These principles are presented in Logue, they apply to everyone.

 

"You shall have no other gods before Me".

Jehovah, the eternal, pre-existent, uncreated, but Himself is the source of life and the creator of all, one worthy of the highest veneration and worship. Only God can be the focus of human love or Ministry. Giving your heart to something else, we thereby denies God his love, not pay Him proper serving and co-create the imaginary deities.

"You shall not make for yourself an Idol, and no images of what is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth. Do not worship them and do not serve them".

The second commandment forbids the worship of the true God, using icons or other images. Many pagan peoples argue that their images are images or symbols by which they worship the deity but God has declared such a service to a sin. An attempt to depict the eternal through the mother of special items reduces the perception of God. The mind is withdrawn from, boundless perfection of Jehovah, more will be confined to the creation rather than the creator. And because human concepts of God will be underestimated, and the person will start to degrade.

"I am the Lord thy God am a jealous God". Close and sacred relationship of God with his people symbolically represented by marriage. Since idolatry is spiritual adultery, and the displeasure of the Lord on this appropriately named jealousy.

"Punishing children for fathers" guilt until the third and fourth kind that hate me. Inevitably children suffer from the consequences of the sins of their parents, but they are not punished for the fault of parents, except when they participated in their sins. But kids usually go in the footsteps of his parents. Due to heredity and through the personal example of the sons become participants in the sins of their fathers. Bad habits, perverted tastes, immorality, as well as physical ailments and degeneration are passed down from father to son and so to the third and the fourth kind. This terrible truth should help people break away from the sinful way of life.

"And He who does mercy to thousands of genera loving Me hepher". The second commandment, forbidding the worship of foreign gods, the worship of the true God. The punishment for those who hates him, promised only to the third and fourth kinds and mercy to those faithful in serving him is not up to the third and the fourth kind, but to thousands of families.

"Don't say the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not leave without punishment, whoever his name in vain".

This commandment not only prohibits false oaths and the ordinary words that people swear, but it also prohibits us careless or frivolous to pronounce the name of the Lord, without thinking about its terrible meaning. We disgrace the God and when his name is mentioned in haste in conversation, and when any minor cases encourage him to witness, and when frequently repeat his name in vain. "Holy and awesome is his name! " (Ps 110.9). We should all reflect on the Majesty, purity and holiness of God to the heart was moved by the consciousness of His generosity, His holy name should be pronounced with awe and solemnity.

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; a day is a Saturday ended his work God thy do not do that in it any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy servant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is in thy dwellings. For in six days the Lord made heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is; and the day ended his work rested. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it ".

Saturday is here not as a new establishment, but as a day that was approved at the creation. We must remember this day and to respect it in memory of the deeds of the creator. Pointing to God as the Creator of the heavens and the Earth, Saturday teaches us to distinguish between the true God and all the false gods. All observing the seventh day, prove that they are fans of Jehovah. So Saturday will remain an eternal sign of loyalty to the man of God. The fourth commandment is the only group which contains the name and title of the legislator. This is the only commandment that specifies whose authority given The Law. Thus, it is the seal of God is applied to law, guarantee its authenticity and both rigour. God gave man work for six days, and It requires people to do their work in these six working days. On Saturday no only mercy and urgent need. For the sick and suffering should take care always, but too much work needs to be strictly avoided. "If you take up your pallet for the sake of thy whims Saturday in My holy day, and call the Saturday troubled, the Holy day of the Lord, honourable, and will honour it so that you will not engage in conventional thy deeds, pleasing your whim ..." (Isaiah 58.13). But restrictions do not end with this: ...and Twaddle, says the Prophet. Saturday those who discusses his work or schedules. various plans, in the eyes of God is no better than those who have actually worked on that day. To celebrate the Holy Saturday, we don't even have our thoughts dwell on the Earth. This commandment applies to all in our House. All members of the household should set aside their earthly Affairs until the end of Saturday. All should unite together to glorify God in the Holy day of their voluntary service to Him.

"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you".

Parents have the right to such love and respect, which has no other. God himself, with responsibility for the souls entrusted to them, determined that in the first years of life, children, parents were to them instead of God. And the one who denies the legitimate authority of their parents, rejects the authority of God. The fifth commandment demands that children not only respect, humility and obedience towards their parents, but also the love and tenderness, caring for parents, preserving their reputations; requires that children be their help and consolation in advanced years. Observance of this commandment also implies respect for employees, prison, to all those whom God gave the power.

The Apostle says: "This is the first commandment with promise" (Eph 6. 2). For Israel, pending a speedy settlement in Canaan, the observance of this commandment was the key to a long life in the promised land, but it has a broader meaning, and includes the entire Israel of God, promising those who executes it, eternal life on Earth, liberated from the curse of sin.

"You shall not kill".

All the unjust actions that reduce life; the spirit of hatred and revenge or indulgence to any passion that leads to wound other actions, or at least makes us wish them evil (for "who hates his brother is a murderer"); callous, disdain for the needy or suffering; any indulgence or, on the contrary, unnecessary restrictions or excessive work, destroying health, are all to a greater or lesser degree, is a violation of the sixth commandment.

"You shall not commit adultery".

This commandment prohibits not only dirty and immoral governmental actions, but also lustful thoughts and desires, or any other action that leads to such. Each is required to clean not only the outer life, but also the deepest intentions and feelings of the heart. Christ, who taught the understanding of human values and is against the law of God, saying, that impure thought or opinion are the same sin as an offence.

"You shall not still".

This includes both explicit and hidden sins. The eighth commandment condemns the kidnapping, slavery and wars. She condemned the theft and robbery. It requires rigorous honesty in the most insignificant of ING life's Affairs. It prohibits fraud in the sale and requires a fair calculation of the debts or in wages. The commandment says that any attempt to profit at the expense of someone else's inexperience, infirmity or misfortune is written as a hoax in the heavenly books.

"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor". Any lie, any attempt or intent to defraud our neighbor is included in this commandment. Intent to deceive gives birth to cheating. One look, a gesture, a facial expression, you can successfully lie, like words. Any wilful exaggeration, hint or slander designed to produce false or imaginary, or even a description of the facts, but misleading - is a lie. This principle prohibits any attempt to tarnish the reputation of our middle or misrepresent reality by painting or unfounded suspicions, slander or gossip. Even the intentional concealment of the truth, which can damage the other, is a violation of the ninth commandment.

"Do not desire your neighbor's House; do not desire your neighbor's wife, nor his servant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, anything that your neighbor".

The tenth commandment is the root of all sin, selfish desires, cautioning that are the source of the illegal acts. Whoever in obedience to the law of God fearing in his heart even conceal the sinful desire what belongs to others, did not commit any dishonest act towards others.

The tenth commandment is the root of all sin, selfish desires, cautioning that are the source of the illegal acts. Whoever in obedience to the law of God.
