I know I’m writing more than one note today, but I thought I’d jump here now, since the Ten Commandments are quite famous today here… but I should mention that verse 20 says God is proving everyone’s faith (or lack thereof) to see if anyone will worship Him. Unfortunately, most of what’s in the next 100+ chapters has laws God never wanted Israel to follow. That’s what Ezekiel 20:25 taught me in late 2012… probably around Christmas time that year. There’s not much good in anything throughout the rest of the Pentateuch, actually… but we’re halfway through Exodus, now… this has 40 chapters, in case you’re getting bored. I don’t want to go on about anything specific from here… I’d rather say God champions others while helping us know how we should honor Him… but this chapter is found in page 43 of my NKJV Bible, pages 55-56 of my NASB Bible, pages 96-97 of my VOICE copy (with its notes), and pages 91-92 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I’m sorry that I can’t mention anything for the time being on most of these 100+ chapters between here and the end of Deuteronomy… the Old Testament books are HUGE. And I don’t know why they didn’t make Genesis easier to carry when they later did that for the six books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles… but the Ten Commandments are useful, for I hate idolatry; it’ll ruin everything. You might think this is a radical statement, but God would rather have all of us or nothing at all. I pray Jesus helps me to honor Him like this… but on everything in the Law and the Prophets hinges the love God and others reality (Matthew 22:37-40), just as Jesus said. Unfortunately, I feel I’ll actually lose enough that I’d no longer want to be alive… I especially don’t want to lose my nieces to anything unholy… I’d do anything to see them smile šššššššššššššššššššššššÆāāļøš©āā¤ļøāš©š but I’ll see you in the second half of Exodus! Later!
