The Ten Commandments


 

EXODUS 20:1-17 

And God spoke all these words:

DEUTERONOMY 5:6-21

And he said:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 

You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

You shall not murder.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not steal.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

 


 

EXODO 20:1-17 

Y habló Dios todas estas palabras, diciendo:

DEUTERONOMIO 5:6-21

Dijo:

“Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te saqué de la tierra de Egipto, de casa de servidumbre.

“Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, que te saqué de tierra de Egipto, de casa de servidumbre.

No tendrás dioses ajenos delante de mí. No te harás imagen ni ninguna semejanza de lo que hay arriba en el cielo, ni abajo en la tierra, ni en las aguas debajo de la tierra. No te postrarás ante ellas, ni les darás culto; porque yo soy Jehová tu Dios, fuerte, celoso, que visito la maldad de los padres sobre los hijos hasta la tercera y cuarta generación de los que me aborrecen, y hago misericordia a millares, a los que me aman y guardan mis mandamientos.

No tendrás dioses ajenos delante de mí. No harás para ti escultura, ni imagen alguna de lo que hay arriba en los cielos, ni abajo en la tierra, ni en las aguas debajo de la tierra. No te postrarás ante ellas ni les darás culto; porque yo soy Jehová tu Dios, fuerte, celoso, que visito la maldad de los padres sobre los hijos hasta la tercera y cuarta generación de los que me aborrecen, y que hago misericordia a millares, a los que me aman y guardan mis mandamientos.

No tomarás el nombre de Jehová tu Dios en vano; porque no dará por inocente Jehová a quien toma su nombre en vano.

No tomarás el nombre de Jehová tu Dios en vano; porque Jehová no dará por inocente al que tome su nombre en vano.

Acuérdate del día del sábado para santificarlo. Seis días trabajarás, y harás toda tu obra; mas el séptimo es sábado para Jehová tu Dios; no hagas en él obra alguna, tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu siervo, ni tu criada, ni tu bestia, ni tu extranjero que está dentro de tus puertas. Porque en seis días hizo Jehová los cielos y la tierra, el mar, y todas las cosas que en ellos hay, y reposó en el séptimo día; por tanto, Jehová bendijo el día del sábado y lo santificó.

Guardarás el día del sábado para santificarlo, como Jehová tu Dios te ha mandado. Seis días trabajarás, y harás toda tu obra; mas el séptimo día es sábado a Jehová tu Dios; ninguna obra harás tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu siervo, ni tu sierva, ni tu buey, ni tu asno, ni ningún animal tuyo, ni el extranjero que está dentro de tus puertas, para que descanse tu siervo y tu sierva como tú. Acuérdate que fuiste siervo en tierra de Egipto, y que Jehová tu Dios te sacó de allí con mano fuerte y brazo extendido; por lo cual Jehová tu Dios te ha mandado que guardes el día del sábado.

Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que tus días se alarguen en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.

Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, como Jehová tu Dios te ha mandado, para que sean prolongados tus días, y para que te vaya bien sobre la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da.

No matarás.

No matarás.

No cometerás adulterio.

No cometerás adulterio.

No hurtarás.

No hurtarás.

No hablarás contra tu prójimo falso testimonio.

No dirás falso testimonio contra tu prójimo.

No codiciarás la casa de tu prójimo, no codiciarás la mujer de tu prójimo, ni su siervo, ni su criada, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni cosa alguna de tu prójimo.

No codiciarás la mujer de tu prójimo, ni desearás la casa de tu prójimo, ni su tierra, ni su siervo, ni su sierva, ni su buey, ni su asno, ni cosa alguna de tu prójimo.

Christian Denominations and their Founders

Image
Have you ever wondered who founded your Church? Better yet, your Denomination? The number of splits in Christian Denominations since 1517 A.D. goes over 20,000. Just think about that for a moment. There is over 20,000 Christian Denominations all which came from the original split by Luther in 1517. All claim to be inspired by Scripture alone and therefore separated from other churches in order to teach what they believed was the truth. "Sola Scriptura" meaning "Scripture Alone" was not believed even by Ancient Jews. The Word of God was not only in written form but also orally spread through tradition. Even the eunuch in Acts 8:26-40 needed help with interpreting what he read so that he didn't interpret it incorrectly.  How do we know if ours is the right Church? How do you? Judaism has many different writings explaining Jewish laws their traditions and culture. So does Catholicism. Judaism has always had written and oral traditions of their beliefs. The same goe

My Conversion Story

Image
This isn't a short story so, go to the kitchen, prepare yourself some popcorn and enjoy this long read. You will be here for a while.  Feel free to pause and come back or just take it all in at once. I’d like for you to open up your Bible as I show you what I have learned. Have an open mind and don’t come in with a set idea or a judgmental attitude. Be teachable. Be coachable. Now, let’s start. How did my journey begin?   With despair. I was questioning so many things. Why are there so many contradictory beliefs within the body of Christ? Why is the Church so divided and not united? I kept begging God to help me. Lead me. Call me. What do I do? Where do I go? These were my constant prayers for years as I slowly departed from God. Doubt creeped in and led me to not trust churches anywhere. There was so much division between each other that I couldn’t find the one that had the full truth. How do we know which one is the one true church? As I prayed both audibly and in my heart, my me

Part V Mariology Series: MARY AS THE PERPETUAL VIRGIN

Image
Mary as revealed through the Scriptures from The Old Testament to The New Testament Welcome to our Mariology Series. In this fifth part, we will be looking into the Catholic Christian Doctrine of Mary’s Perpetual Virginity. Was she truly ever virgin or did she have children as Protestants believe?  Jewish context is really essential both in terms of customs and language to understand and grasp this topic at hand. If you want a more detailed study about this particular topic, I highly recommend the book “Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary” by Dr. Brant Pitre. Now, let's move on to the study. As always, let’s start with Jesus. The Lord Yahweh was the bridegroom and Israel was the bride. Christ comes into the world as God incarnate in order to give his life and love for the church who is his bride. Jesus’ celibacy is crucial to his divinity.  Luke 20:34 AMP ‘Jesus said to them, “The sons of this [world and present] age marry and [the women] are given in marriage; but those who are co

Part IV Mariology Series: MARY AS THE QUEEN MOTHER

Image
Mary as revealed through the Scriptures from The Old Testament to The New Testament Welcome to our fourth part of our Mariology Series. Let’s get right to it. As always, we will start with Jesus and understand who He is before we turn our attention to Mary. Luke 1:31-32 NLT Angel Gabriel’s words to Mary at the Annunciation ‘ You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David .’ Today we are focusing on the identity Jesus has as the one who is the heir to the throne. This has manifold implications for who Mary is in a 1 st Century Jewish context. Any 1 st Century Jew would’ve known that Jesus is the king who's going to be seated on the throne. That means that there’s also to be a queen.  In the Old Testament at the time of David’s Kingdom, the queen was not the King's wife. It was the King’s mother . The 1 st reference to the Quee

Mortal vs Venial Sins: Are all sins equal?

Image
Where do Catholics get the idea of “Mortal” vs “Venial” sins? The most common Bible verse used against the very Catholic and very biblical doctrines concerning mortal and venial sin is James 2:10-11 : For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” said also, “Do not kill.” The argument is made from this text that all sins are the same before God. Is this true? As it is defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church CCC 1849: “Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity. It has been defined as "an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law."  THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH: IV. THE GRAVITY OF SIN: MORTAL AND VENIAL SIN CCC 1854  Sins are rightly evaluated according to their gravity. The distinction

PART III: Peter and the CHAIR: All you need to know on the Papacy

Image
In the final part of this series, let’s look at the early church and the evidence that Peter was in office, that he had a special place of authority and that there is an office of papacy. The earliest record of the early church would actually be the book of Acts, the Acts of the Apostles. Here we will discuss how that portrays Peter in this book and how it lends evidence for the fact that Peter had special authority, the Vicar of Christ.  The term Vicar means representative, a person who acts in place of another; a substitute. A person who is authorized to perform the functions of another. Peter is God’s Vicar on earth. We see this in John 21. Jesus gives his pastoral authority to Peter with three commands: “ Feed my lambs, take care of my sheep, feed my sheep.” In this verse, Jesus delegates his authority three times and in three different ways while using imagery found throughout the Old Testament. In so doing he evidently reveals his delegation of authority to Peter. History sho

Part II Mariology Series: MARY AS THE NEW ARK

Image
Mary as revealed through the Scriptures from The Old Testament to The New Testament The Ark of the Covenant vs Mary, the new Ark   ↓                               ↓  An anticipation for Our lady As always, if we are to understand who Mary is, we always have to start with Jesus and who he is.  Jesus comes to inaugurate a New Exodus in addition to undoing the effects of the fall of Adam and Eve. Original Exodus: Delivered the Israelites from slavery, through the desert for 40 years then home to the promised land. Through the transfiguration of Jesus, Jesus himself accomplished a new exodus.  “ And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Eli′jah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem.”  Luke 9:30-31 ↓   His passion . His death . His resurrection . His ascension . Jesus wants to take us to the promised land of the Kingdom of God; eternal life with God the Father. That is the exodus that he is going to accomplish at Jerusalem. His ex

Want to know more about what the Catholic Church actually teaches? Here are some of the sites and books that have helped me with my conversion back to the Church. When I started searching for ways to refute Catholic teachings, I wanted actual Catholic resources to grab a hold of and prove wrong. If you want to prove something is wrong, you always go to the source. It is the only way I could prove their beliefs and traditions were anti biblical. Here are some resources I found very useful and explain all Catholic teachings clearly: Online Resources My go to online resource for all Catholic questions is Catholic Answers .

Introduction to the 5 Part Mariology Series

Image
Mary as revealed through the Scriptures from The Old Testament to The New Testament Welcome to this five part series on Mary and why Catholics believe different dogmatic traditions. Our beliefs about Mary as Catholics are not new. Writings of the early Church Fathers from the first century on, show evidence of this. In this series I will explain in great detail through the Sacred Scriptures about her calling since the beginning of time and different dogmas believed by Catholics. The goal of this series is to prove that Mary was no ordinary woman but the most revered woman throughout all of Christian history, especially from those in the early church and today’s Catholics.  Let’s start with some terminology.  Christology is the Theological study of Jesus Christ. Mariology is the Theological study of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Typology is the Christian Theology and Biblical exegesis is a doctrine or theory concerning the relationship of the Old Testament to the New Testament.

Sabbath or The Lord’s Day (Sunday)?

Image
If Jesus kept the Sabbath then why do some Christians not keep the Sabbath? Sabbath: The seventh day of the week among the Hebrews, the day being counted from sunset to sunset, that is, from Friday evening to Saturday evening. There is an impressive amount of evidence in Scripture that show Christ and the apostles changed their day of corporate worship from Saturday to Sunday. In Jesus’ early earthly ministry, he started to prepare the way in changing the Sabbath by showing special honor to Sunday throughout the New Testament. We know that Jesus raised from the dead on a Sunday and that he appeared to the disciples on that same Sunday evening. The Sabbath was set aside specifically for Jews to rest and worship. Sabbatarians argue that because Jesus observed the Sabbath that we should imitate him in this. This however, fails to consider that Jesus was still under the old covenant. He enunciated a new covenant at the Last Supper, this happened to be on Sundays. It was on Sunday that the
