This statement could be seen as the pietist error of placing the emphasis on experience rather than upon obedience. "This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith."
The ceremonial laws of Israel are obsolete, now that the fulfillment, Christ, has come. The civil laws of God, however, are eternally binding. And those who belittle God's word (perhaps, by referring to a major part of it as "God's Word, emeritus, or, "what God believed before He evolved to our level of sophistication") shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Seriously, though, the Big Ten, and their 600 or so illustrations, give us a pattern of public weal. Common law is God's law applied over the centuries to local situations. To find the god of any culture, look for the perceived source of their laws.
If we as Christians treat God's laws with contempt, should we be surprised when "nine old men" declare themselves divine? The ultimate source of right and wrong?
Clarity provides traction. God's Law provides a transmission connecting the power within us to the needs around us. The Book of Leviticus has made me a better technical writer.
Thank you for the ping. I’m sensing change in the wind:

Thanks Coleus.Today's textbooks indoctrinate our children into Islam and are backed by court rulings allowing teachers to REQUIRE our children to bow down and pray to Allah "in demonstration." ...taken the position on their hands and knees and recited, "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation, The Compassionate, the Merciful, King of Judgment day! You alone we worship, and to You alone we pray for help, Guide us to the straight path." Public outrage has caused some school districts to take pause in "simulating Islam," but not before Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled in favor of the practice. Court transcripts quote: "the use of the Islam module was motivated by the purely secular purpose of instructing students about Islamic culture and history" and that a "non-secular purpose may only be found 'when...there was no question that the...activity was motivated WHOLLY be religious considerations." [omissions in transcript] It is shocking that Hamilton could compose the following condemning the Ten Commandments while endorsing banners in front of a school that state, " "There is one God, Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet."Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. |
