God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses for the Israelites or the people in Exodus 20.
IOW, God did not give the Ten Commandments to the Gentiles before, during, and after the Lord Jesus Christ ministry here on earth.
1) The Ten were so 101 no disciple thought to teach them. Jesus does teach them to Jews as I have depicted but because these were not to Gentiles you think you as a Gentile are excluded. The BASIS of our faith was the original Word of God to OUR Fathers in the Hood, Abraham and Moses. And Abraham NOT EVEN knowing the Shema by text or verbal command was faithful so much to his One God, he placed his own beloved son under Him, and was blessed for his faith, with his spiritual descendants like the stars in the sky...
...YOU being one of these sir. Wow talk about ignorusness to the maximus.
2) Jesus did not teach them to GENTILES since his original ministry was to the Jew and to the God-fearer, whom numbered not many.
3) Your theology is so hokey my example of where it leads went right over your head. Do you really think that German Lutheran avoidance and "blindness" to the Holocaust could have occurred if they even adhered to 101 BASIC theology? Thou shalt not covet, would stop them in their tracks. Do unto others would stop them cold. We are not talking of JESUS' hard sayings, just basic and fundamental Law.
See, morality is righteousness. They had the very same theology as you and look what happened. Their IDOLS were prioritized and they LENT a blind eye to the whole shebang, claiming IGNORANCE later. The LEADERS were prosecuted and hanged, but what of the guards among the clean-up the bodies crew? What of the train guards and gatherers in the slums which harbored displaced Jews? What of the soldiers, the common ones who gathered them INTO the slums? Out of their homes, into trains headed to mass destruction. What of these soldier's families who moved INTO the houses of the forcefully displaced? Really you are blind as many many Christians are blind to the extent that this SORT of thing shall happen again.
God is not to be shirked or ignored. If only a basic heed to the will of YHWH Elohim, and the Holocaust would be deleted along with the common pretentiousness of humans: 6 MILLION JEWS. What war ever killed as many? Iran-Iraq? The Korean War? The 50 thousand Americans who died in Vietnam? Try 120 TIMES this number. Line these 6 million side-by-side and see how far the bodies go...the distance is staggering beyond comprehension. Yet you will WILLFULLY ignore this blood crying out from the ground.
16 average inches for the human body. PRE-starved unto death. 12" after starvation UNTO death. 63360 inches divided by 12 is 5280 bodies to the mile. 6000000 divided by 5280. 1,136 miles of bodies. But the chest cavity is still 16" average so the figure is more like 3960 bodies to the mile. 1515 miles. At 60 mph this would take 25 hours to traverse. Start your day driving and the next day at the same time, with no stops along the way, this mileage is covered.
A lotta bodies, alotta blood. The distance is from my location, Austin TX to New York, as the crow flies. Remember, these were not war enemies of Germany, only innocents. People whom you could call NEIGHBORS.
The Book of the Covenant [from Gen.20:22 to 23:33] is the exposition of the Ten Commandments.
Ex 24:8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people/Israelites, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you/Israel [and not with the Gentiles] concerning all these words.
Are you saying the blood of the covenant in Exodus 24 is REPLACED by the blood of Jesus? I don't refute you here. But this abrogates the Law and the Prophets? No.
Jesus did not come to abrogate the Law in it's pristine and fundamental form. Amen.
IOW again, one cannot separate one from the other because one cannot work without the other or they are one piece of Law of God. They, the Ten Commandments and The Book of the Covenant, are one piece of Law of God designed only for the Israelites during that time.
Ugh you are really getting radical, for no assembly I ever was in said this. What is so offensive to you in the Ten or the Shema or the Golden Rule?
It is basic starting point, and really you will never understand that Jesus was EPITOME of Law and not the abrogator of. Not even Lutherans say this, and I was Wisconsin Synod for a short while.
