You may not, but I personally have known the difference on agreeing that something is better to do in the abstract and agreeing that something is better to do because our loving Creator desires we do so. That and the knowledge that every person is a fellow Creation of God and is due the love and honor that all that entails results in different action than simply acknolwedging that we are all humans and have equal rights.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Like I have the same right to be murdered as Imran does, really loses something in the Divine intention for mankind.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Everyone turned into Ben Kenobi while I was away!?!Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

One wonders if equating all theists with Ben Kenobi is a BK type of generalization? In which case, Che has become BK!Originally posted by chequita guevara View PostWhat's the point if everyone became a theist?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

God wants obedient servants. That's what the Bible says all over the place. Jesus said it. Nowhere in the Bible does it say the 10 Commandments are inferior to any other part of the Word. No part of the Word is inferior or superior to any other.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View PostI didn't answer your question directly because I was asking exactly what you were saying. And yes, I do think the 10 Commandments are inferior to Jesus's summary of the law - Jesus is the perfect revelation, everything else pales in comparison. I think the principles in the 10 Commandments are Godly principles and came directly from God, HOWEVER, I think that God doesn't demand slavish obedience, but a heartfelt desire to please him, as you would wish to please a spouse (you do stuff for him/her because you love).
And yes God most defimitely makes the rules, and no one else including yourself.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Then why did Jesus add to them? Murder violates a commandment, but Jesus said if you hate you've already sinned. Adultery violates another, but Jesus said if you even lust you've sinned. The 10 Commandments deal mostly with actions whereas Jesus identified the thoughts that sometimes precede the actions. Besides, Jesus ripped apart the divorce laws under Moses so he wasn't worried about changing laws from God.Nowhere in the Bible does it say the 10 Commandments are inferior to any other part of the Word
