You are confusing the Commandments with the Law. The Law is much more than the Commandments.

The Law only exists to prove to Man that he cannot save himself by adherence to the Law. Salvation comes from Christ Jesus. The Law only leads to failure since God’s standard is perfection and no one has ever perfectly followed the Law. Even thinking a lustful thought is a violation so we were dead before we even began. He who has the Son has life and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Hard to believe the ADL could become more politicized than under Foxman, but by naming as his replacement a former member of both the Clinton and Obama administrations, that appears to be the future. I think aiding refugees in Jordan is a fine, humanitarian objective, though unconnected to the ADL's mission of fighting antisemitism. Advocating the transfer of refugees from Syria and Jordan to the US is far beyond their mission.

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
