Ten commandments were given to the Israelites upon exiting Egypt, as new directions into a new land and a new life, but does it mean the same to Christians? The point of the ten was not obedience and legalism, but all summed up, they demonstrate the two greatest commandments in the Law, which are "You will love the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole strength," and "You will love your neighbour as yourself." This was to clarify what love is to the Israelites, since they still had their mindset stuck in Egypt. But to Christians, it only clarifies the two greatest commandments. Christianity is not mere rules, but having a relationship with our Creator, Who could destroy us, but instead decided to give us a second chance through the sacrifice on Golgotha. His Law revolves around love, and I pray you understand it. Bless you in the Name of Jesus! Amen.

Jesus was perfect and people still hated Him. Stop caring so much about what people think of you.

Here's a little message for all the orthodox people out there. We now ask you, what do is your excuse for worshipping pictures, statues and doors? There is a lot of kissing involved there. Wanna talk about it? It does sound and give impression of adultery there, and you cannot use the excuse of it looking like Jesus. The commandment clearly states that anything even looking like that which is in heaven is counted as sin, so how do you handle that one? Just as Jesus said in Mark 7:9 - "Well do you set aside the commandment of God in order that you would keep your traditions." This is what happens, when you turn your focus off of God and His Word, and move it onto the traditions of the church - you get lost. I pray you understand that this is no teasing, but a friendly rebuke, in order that you would become aware of the reality of your church and religion. Maybe even compare the people in your church with the Word of God and see whether you match. Bless you in the Name of Jesus Christ! Amen.
