Date Posted:10:34:02 02/27/12 Mon Author: Lois Subject: What is we actually obeyed the commandment?
I posted this last night, but sometimes voyforums has little glitches. If the original post shows up again, so much the better.
Just imagine if we actually obeyed the commandments of the Lord. God didn't give us commandments so that He could punish us if we disobeyed them. He gave us commandments for our well being.
I'm going to list the ten commandments. Then I will pick one of them and list some of the ills of the world that we have because we don't obey it.
--------------
You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourselves any graven image.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God gives you.
You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery.
Here we go, this is an easy one.
Rape, Roe vs. Wade, abortion clinics, most divorces, hostile exes, custody battles over children, grownups having to go see therapists because of crummy childhoods, unwed mothers, sexually transmitted diseases, tainted blood supplies, right-to-lifers shooting abortion doctors, pro-lifers and pro-choice people screaming and yelling at each other, murders committed because of jealousy, deadbeat dads who don't pay child support. I tell you, the list could go on for pages. But just imagine if these were all gone simply because people took this one commandment seriously.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet anything that is your neighbor's.
