just came across this.
The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament
The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:
"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New Testament
About 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
A reflective reading of Christ's teaching reveals that the first four commandments given to the children of Israel are contained in the statement: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." It continues that the last six commandments are enclosed in the statement: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

but the thing is i believe god has a very forgiving heart and as long as we just continue to always try to do what he says even though we constantly faulter (we arent perfect we are human) god didnt make us perfect only he is
he will continue to pick us up and put us on that straight and narrow path to heaven
i will admit it i am far from the perfect Christian and i slip alot but i continue to try to work at doing better and one day i hope with gods help i can get ahold of my bad side and control my temptations
for what jesus went through for us all and how the world is getting none of us deserve forgiveness but god does forgive as long as we ask and continue to try
IMO
great thread by the way MR.GUITAR thanks for starting it

just wondering if mr. guitar would respond to this
Of course I'll respond. I don't ingnore people's questions and comments.

Let's see here. Yes Pentecostals believe in speaking in tongues so do some Baptists. I've heard of storys about Baptist Pastors (Not Southern Baptist) getting filled with the Holy Spirit while they were preaching. Very cool, imo.
Yes it did happen in that particular time. Yes I'm a young believer in the Pentecostal views, but yet I know a ton of info already.
Not saying this directly do you by the way....
I mean speaking in tongues, the topic, is just amazing. In my opinion. A ton of people say, "No one can speak in tongues, they are just faking it." Do you make up weird words in your head everyday? Do you say things that people don't understand (just like phrases that sound like jiberish) everyday?

Did you have a chance to study Act 12-14 yet? I'm interested to see how you interpret that in relation to modern day Pentacostal views and practices.

I dont really have a favorite verse but more of a favorite part....I read this part often. Matthew 5 thru 7.
It also addresses the Commandments and their importance, '' Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: ''
On the tounges, I do understand that this is a strange belief and all can/should trust their own heart and guidance from God as to what to think. '' Some '' chapters that mention this are,
Mark 16;1.
Acts 2;1-3,
Acts 10;1
Acts 19;1
1Cor.12;1-3 ( explains the gifts )
1Cor.13;1 '' Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, ''
1Cor.13;2
1Cor.14;1-7
Many others that IMO are clearly just refering to speaking in another countries language, but most of the one mentioned above are not so clear '' to some '' as to what it means....I dont wish to tell anyone what they mean, nor fault anyone for what they think....I was raised going to a Pentacostal church in north Fl. They spoke some '' tongues " there also ( but at least didn't dance with snakes, haha )...God Bless.

If we obey just these two then all the others will fall into place. You cannot break any of the commandments without also breaking one of these two. If you truly love God and your neighbor you will not break any commandments. Jesus' new covenant is so easy to understand, yet difficult to follow. It's hard to love the guy that just took the parking space you were obviously waiting for. A far cry from the "eye for an eye" of the Old Testament. Thank God for Jesus.

Ok...my bad about Acts 2, yes they spoke with other tongues (foreign language tongues).
Acts 12-14...I really haven't dug into it yet. I've read them though.
Ok this bothers be...It's Pentecostal not Pentacostal.

 

[dogstar]

Im not going to say that anyones understanding of a scriptor is wrong. I am just going to say how I understand Acts 2....
The disciples spoke in '' a '' tongue....that was heard by the many different listeners in their own language....the listeners was touched/chosen to have an interpretation in their own ears that sounded to them as if the tongue spoken was their own....."" how hear we every man in our own tongue "" "" because that every man heard them speak in his own language. ""
If the disciple spoke only one foreign language at a time, then only the people from that region that spoke what they spoke would be able to understand what they said....
Is it possible that they were '' speaking " all the different languages at " different " times ? To say something in one language and then repeat it in a different one and then another one untill it was said in all the languages ? Maybe. But, "" seeing it is but the third hour of the day."" That would take alot of time.
Those that received the interpretations "" And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?....And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? "" ( I often picture them like this..." He said it in Egyptian ", " No, He said it in Arabic ", " No, he said it in Greek ", " No,.....) haha.
But those that were not touched/chosen to recieve the interpretaion....must have sounded like giberish as some call it....."" Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. "" Drunk, sick, babbleing...
Now I was not taught that this is how it should be read...just the way I understood it as I read it. As I said earlier, everyone should understand this the way one wishes/beleives.

Hi Everybody!,
Didn't get to post to this wonderful thread yesterday because I spent all day helping our children's ministry get our 4th,5th and 6th graders to Falls Creek!!
For those who don't know what Falls Creek is, It the worlds largest christian encampment!
Went to the first service in the brand new $24.5 million tabernacle, 4,000 kids worshiping and learning about the LORD!! WOOO WEEE

This week is childrens camp, two groups of about 4,000 each, one Sun.-Wed noon, the second Wed noon - Sat. Then next week starts youth camp, 8 wks of 7,500 7th-12th graders each week!!!
While there was discussing some of the things we are talking about on this thread, A wise person reminded me of something I all ready knew, but kinda take for granted sometimes.
The BIBLE is GODS LIVING WORD and what that means for all of us is that every scripture is interpreted by the person who is reading it by how GOD is dealing with them in that situation. So if you and I don't exactly agree on how one verse reads doesn't mean GODS truth is not in both interpretations.

I hate how some Christians ruin any possibility of bringing a non Christian to Christ. From all Christians who are not idiots, I am sorry for whatever anyone had to indure while speaking to a Chrisian.
The weak minded and ignorant will always damage the name of the honest and open-minded. It is up to the good ones to choose just how much they will let the weak affect them. Don't let anyone get under your skin. When you bring up religion, some people just get ugly. Don't let em ruin it for ya! Personally, God and I have some things we need to work out face to face before I go reading and following anymore of his book. I'm the type of person who gives credit when credit's due, but certain lines have been crossed, and faith in life and basic existence is spread thin. I have found more strength and power in myself since I have taken some faith away from intangible beings and placed it in my myself. I feel more driven and more powerful then ever. I feel that NOBODY can be their absolute best until they honestly love and believe in themselves first. I believe that many people are disabled by too much faith. By this, I mean that people start lacking faith in themselves to do the right thing. Some of them don't believe they have the power to change things for the better without the help of anybody or anything. The just keep looking up for answers. I look in.
