Ten Commandments

born again Christians will obey the commandments. Not one sin will escape the test of the ten commandments. Examples: Abortion - Thou shalt not kill Gossip...

May I know why there seems to be different version of the Ten Commandments?

Why ? Clearly from many of the responses here, people change the content of the bible from time to time to suit their agenda. Therefore, the bible tat we read now clearly can't be trusted anymore. Even something as big as the content of the 10 commandments had changed ! Wat else can't be changed ?

Born again Christians cannot be sinless, but we must strive to sin less.

Cannot leh .. like SIS likes to complain (where is he btw?), the standards are so high nobody can comply.

Since u want me to make a comment I will make one here... In christainity it appears to be fruitless. u cannot be sinless ! When u r borned u have already sinned, and accordingly no matter how small a sin u have created, u deserve eternal damnation. Obviously something is really wrong in god perception of sinning. Talking about the 10 commandments, isn't god the blatant breaker of these rules ? He killed tons of people isn't it ? In fact in the OT, they talked about tons of laws and their punishment ! U must follow all the rules or u faced eternal damantion ! So these r not to be followed anymore ? Some say tat jesus fulfilled the OT. Wat is your definition of "fulfilled" ? I thought it only say tat it fulfilled the OT messiah role. I never know it meant abolishing the whole OT... BTW jesus too supported slavery. It is in the NT. WHy do we not follow these words anymore ?

If u sin less or sin more, u still r unable to know if u r still good enough to be saved. Who know, it can be extremely gracious tat hitler is also saved or extremely unforgiving tat even mother teresa fails the test.

While I look at women all the time, sometimes through the prompting of my wife. I don't necessarily sin. Sometimes it's because these women are downright ugly. Sin only comes in if you mentally undress the woman or imagine yourself to be having sex with her.

Isn't tat wat god created us to do ? Men r constructed as such isn't it ? God create us to lust, then punish us for it. Sounds like throwing u into the river and punish u when u r wet.

So He wrote on the ground with his finger "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her"

Then we shouldn't follow any of the laws set by both NT and OT isn't it ? We should go around behaving watever we want since no man can give judgement as they themselves have sinned too. We should not follow the 10 commandments too as it is in the OT. We can kill and have all the sex we want.

There are many verses in the NT that actually helps to abolish the notion that OT laws are to be followed, one of them being the eating of pork.

Isn't tat a contradiction ? OT says the scripture r ageless. They say u cannot eat pork. Then comes NT and he reverse the decision on eating pork. All these laws cannot be in effect isn't it ? Contradictions contradictions contradictions... BTW aren't god playing with human by not allowing them to eat pork for the past thousands of years ?

God's forgiveness. i mentioned an example before about someone giving a gift. if you refuse the gift, then the gift is not yours.

The gift is not a gift as there is a condition attached to it. It is like giving a begger a penny only after he has said u r the greatest being ever alive. To me tat sounds like ego.

sillyme SG

but then the beggar knows he's poor so he goes around asking... he asked for a penny.. so it's given..

similarly if you realised you've a sinned, ask for forgiveness and you'll be forgiven..

Wat is the attitude of the giver A ? He want u to call him the greatest person alive, he is perfect, every decision he made is correct and u cannot accept money from anyone else. Worse still he only gives to people of Religion A. Tat sounds like tis guy has character flaws isn't it ?

There r other giver as well. Giver B give pennies to everyone whether he ask for it or not. Tat seems to be a better person to approach isn't it ?

In other religion, they treat sinning as part of their lives. The idea is not about sinning little little things, but about whether does the good deeds u had done balanced it out with the sins u had done. They treat the motive behind sinning as important considerations. For christianity, they only care if the act has been committed.

For christianity, they only care whether u r a believer or not first.

sillyme SG

If someone doesn't realise or acknowledge he is in need, then even if someone gives him something he wouldn't feel the need to accept it. If pride blinds him of his proverty, then why should he accept anything?

Of course you'd argue that "wah free gift leh, don't take then I lugi". But then there'll be people who doubt it; afraid that it's a scam.

stupidissmart SG

However who is the one tat states tat u r in need ? It is again A himself ! He tells u u need a penny otherwise u will be cursed forever ! Without A, u will probably be going around with your life. When A comes, he curse u to a life of pain, force u to beg him and praise him, forbid u not to mingle with other people who might tell u a more realistic and better view before finally giving u a penny.
