    What do i mean wen God sad on the 7 day rest do that mean dont work on your job and at home
  • Chris - In Reply on Exodus 20:12 - 3 years ago
    That's a very sad situation Carl, one in which not a lot can be done since your great grandchildren are probably still subject to their parents instructions & guidance. I have a niece & nephew that no longer communicate with my wife & me because of their parents filling them with matters untrue. As their children, though now adults in their 30s, they still follow what they believe to be true & probably don't want to 'rock the (family) boat'. So it has been very sad as we have not been able to have any input into their lives especially with Christian teaching, to which we believe they are deprived & destitute.

    We nevertheless don't cease to pray for them, committing their lives to the Lord Who alone is able to help them, counsel them & indeed, put in their hearts to get in touch with us again. We long for that day, just as you & your wife remain hopeful. You can only commit this matter to the Lord that both the hearts of your grand & great grand children will be touched & to learn of the truth about your genuineness & ongoing love for them. Are you able to talk to your children to learn more of this & if they are willing to mediate between you & their children? How do your children understand this situation? Even if a very personal letter from you to your great grand children can be sent through an intermediary, it may go some way to let them know of your feelings for them & may hit a 'nerve' of understanding & love from them.

    However, if they don't really know you because of this estrangement being so long, then they might well say, "but we don't know who you are". The Lord can overrule - like in everything we face in life, we have to be cast completely upon Him & He will do what is right & in His time. I pray that your faith may increase & that you may find Christ's joy in spite of your circumstances.
  • Carl Gunderson on Exodus 20:12 - 3 years ago
    Our grandson and wife are keeping us from seeing our great grandchildren because of words exchanged six months ago. We apologized but that's not good enough. When mention of children respecting their elders, they say it goes both ways. It really has nothing to do with letter of apology. We really don't know what to think any more or to do.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Exodus 20:13 - 3 years ago
    Jesus will forgive you if you open the door of your heart; let Him come inside and change you. He died for your sins. Receive his salvation and healing of your soul; you memories.

    Go to link on the red page on this website and open 'become Christian', and pray that prayer.

    Your baby is with the Lord now. You will meet some future day. In a place of no sorrow or guilt; just joy.

  • Memorizing Scriptures - In Reply on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
    1 Corinthians 2:16

    For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

    Philippians 2:5

    Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

    Romans 7:25

    I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with THE MIND I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

    Romans 15:6

    That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Testimony by Mishael: I questioned the Lord one day; shortly after salvation, on these scriptures.

    I said, Lord scientists say we only use 10% of our brains power potential. How come?

    I was sitting waiting for reply. The Holy Spirit said the first scripture above.

    Jesus doesn't have limitations on intelligence. He created it. You can thank the Lord for knowing his mind. There's no limitations. Some things we are unable to receive, because of the "Nay-sayers" that tell us we can't do that. "It's not scriptural'.

    God doesn't withhold good gifts from His children. I asked for better memory and then I RECEIVED IT BY FAITH. My Bible studying and prayer life bloomed! My thanks to God, is using what he gives me.

    You are not limited on asking in child-like faith for what you Need; not wants. Let all your requests be made known to God. He's your Daddy; ABBA. He knows what is good for us. Receive it. Give thanks. Give doubts the boot, out of your heart.

    I used to write scriptures on notebook paper and post it on a cabinet near the stove. I'd be stirring things and had time to look at it.

    Read it out loud. Look at it. Hear your voice saying it. See? Those are the mouth gate, the eye gate and the hearing gate. You're going to learn those scriptures easily. Just keep doing it till it flows right out of your mouth from Memory. You have His Mind at last. There are no limitations on what you can learn now.

    If your kids hear you say it enough, they will learn it too. :D 1 Corinthians 2:16
  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
    Hello Angela,

    As I can't say I remember them in any order. Hopefully this may help. You can break them down into three things God wants us to do and seven things to stay away from. The three to do are: Love God with all your heart and have no other gods, Honor your father and mother, and keep the sabbath day Holy. The seven to "not do", maybe start with: Do not steal, do not lie, do not murder. Then: do not commit adultery, don't take the Lords name in vein, do not worship false idols, and do not covet.

    I guess really just keep going over them and they should stick. As these Ten Commandments are just the beginning of battling, and staying away from, all sin. Which is much more vast. Along with producing much good fruit, in your life, for the Lord.

    God Bless.
  • Angela Hope on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
    I learned the Ten Commandments using mnemonics, 1bun 2 shoe 3 key & so on, but every time I try to recite them now I get mixed up & can't remember what 10's mnemonic was & I totally miss Commandments 2 & 3!!! Did anyone else use these mnemonics & remember them? Or have other ones I might use? I want to teach my grandchildren but also I want to remember them myself!!

    Please Help!

    I love that this site exists & can easily be found, searched, researched & read. It takes away ANY excuse people might make about not hearing or knowing The Word of GOD & of not believing because they "didn't know."

    Thank You to the many people who would have had to labor to bring this site into existence & to those who maintain it! Keep up the Good Work!

    Evermore.

  • The LAW of SIN and DEATH - In Reply on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
    Romans 8:

    2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

    I suggest we all read Romans 8 again, so we do not return to a system of WORKS again.

    It's equal to saying what Jesus did on the Cross wasn't good enough.

  • Wenmar - In Reply on Exodus 20:4 - 3 years ago
    Conchita, I too was raised RC and was practicing until I was 33 years old. When I made the same discovery about the commandments as you have, I made my first step away from the Roman church. They changed the commandments so they can keep their idols and images. Ask yourself...why do you need two commandments for coveting? I am appalled when I think of how they made me worship idols. But praise God for His mercy in forgiveness and praise Him for deliverance from the pagan church!!!

    If you took the name Jesus Christ out of catholicism, you would still have the mass, the pope, cardinals, priests, nuns, The "hail Mary" and the rosary, all the many rituals, and their "sacraments"...get the picture?
  • Mixster on Exodus 20:7 - 3 years ago
    The phrase "full armor of God" comes from Ephesians 6:13-17: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

    Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness (the righteousness of Jesus Christ) in place,

    and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

    The sword of the Spirit is all of the scriptures you have committed to memory.

    How can we mix Holy with Profane?

  • Mr - In Reply on Exodus 20:7 - 3 years ago
    If I find an error, I will contact; however that had nothing to do with my comment at all. The King James Bible is totally accurate. The singular and plural (such as thee or you) is grammatically accurate unlike all contemporary versions. Also, the base texts of Hebrew and Greek are pure. If someone uses another version they are deceived, or willing ignorant. The history from William Tyndale and friends to the King James Bible is humbling. The history of the modern perversions is abominable. Comparing the gold of the KJB with the error riddled modern perversions, should lead one to accept the gold, and reject the error. The occultic Jesuits are having a pro-Lucifer hay-day; they are vicious wolves in sheep's clothing, and are behind much of the King James battle as well as battles against received text Bibles in other languages around the world.

    Back on topic to Exodus 20, the modernist push to downplay the commandments of God is atrocious. 2 Timothy 3:16

    I wrote a long article concerning this on my website, with many scripture references. I tried to link to it, but no links are allowed. I can not post it here, because the text is too long. If you type, "what saith the scripture these three are one" you will find my youtube channel, and an introduction screen-cast to my site. On the site I list copious verses in defense of the law of Moses. The link on the left of my site is titled, "law of Moses _ validity". Jah is most high.
  • Other Versions of the Bible by Mishael - In Reply on Exodus 20:7 - 3 years ago
    If you find error, you can go to the Contact Us link and let them look at it.

    Everybody in here may be using their own versions of the Bible. Such as NKJV, NIV, and others. You'll have to compare one to another. I've always used KJV because that is what I memorize.

    Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew. New Testament in Greek or Aramaic. Be happy that at great persecution, King James of England got the Bible translated so that regular people like us could read it themselves. Which is why he did it.

    The history before it was translated is very very humbling. People were tortured Or burned at stake for having pages of the Bible.
  • Mr on Exodus 20:7 - 3 years ago
    Why are there other versions/perversions on this King James Bible site? The King James Bible is the accurate translated word of God.

    As far as the ten commandments, God is correct to have to standard of right and wrong which shows that all are lost and have the eternal wages of death in the lake of fire unless they receive the gospel which graciously shows that the son of God died in their place.
  • Josef - In Reply on Exodus 20:23 - 3 years ago
    Hi Conchita,

    The 10 Commandments are different in Protestant and Catholic theology.

    Here is the difference based on Exodus 20 which both list the commandments:

    Exodus 20 In Protestant theology:

    Commandment 1: 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

    Commandment 2: 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

    Commandment 3: 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain

    Commandment 4: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

    Commandment 5: 12 Honour thy father and thy mother

    Commandment 6: 13 Thou shalt not kill.

    Commandment 7: 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

    Commandment 8: 15 Thou shalt not steal.

    Commandment 9: 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

    Commandment 10: 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

    Exodus 20 In Cathoic theology:

    Commandment 1: 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

    4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

    Commandment 2: 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain

    Commandment 3: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

    Commandment 4: 12 Honour thy father and thy mother

    Commandment 5: 13 Thou shalt not kill.

    Commandment 6: 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

    Commandment 7: 15 Thou shalt not steal.

    Commandment 8: 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

    Commandment 9: 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

    Commandment 10: 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

    The 10 Commandments are also listed in Deuteronomy 5.
  • Conchita - In Reply on Exodus 20:23 - 3 years ago
    Thank you for your response. However, you misunderstood my question. I was not asking why it is that some religions observe the Sabbath on Sunday, rather than on Saturday. My question was regarding what, exactly, is the 4th Commandment. I was taught that it is "Honor thy father and thy mother," and, applied that answer to the question posted in the "Bible Trivia" quiz. I was surprised when my answer turned out to be incorrect. I listed the 10 Commandments in the order in which I was taught. To my understanding of the KJV, as well as the Catholic Version, it would appear that the Fourth Commandment is, "Honor thy father and thy mother," not, "Remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy." See rational below:

    BOOK OF EXODUS:

    Verses 1 - 6 (First Commandment)

    Verse 7 (Second Commandment)

    Verses 8 - 11 (Third Commandment) "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy."

    Verse 12 (Fourth Commandment) "Honor thy father and thy mother."

    Still confused.
  • Liana - In Reply on Exodus 20:4 - 3 years ago
    The Catholic Church System, changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.

    God's law never changes that's why it was written on stone. Nowhere in the bible states that God changed his day of rest from Saturday to Sunday. Do some research on the Roman Emperor Constantine. The Seventh Day Adventist Church is the only Christian organization that recognizes and keep Saturday as the Sabbath day, in fulfillment of God's commandments.
  • Mishael on Ten Commandments - In Reply on Exodus 20:25 - 3 years ago
    Exodus 20 or Deuteronomy 5

    These books contain the Ten Commandments. I would compare both.

    The Bible is the best reference book to use for study. All the books contained in it, were canonized.

    Also, Jesus gave us 2 more commandments in the Gospels.

    Chris can tell you details about the process.
  • Adam - In Reply on Exodus 20:4 - 3 years ago
    Hello, you're on the right book and chapter. You can see Ex 20:3,4,7 lists the first 3 commandments which occur before keeping the Sabbath. So, you can read it clearly in the chapter and it should answer your question about the order.
  • Conchita on Exodus 20:25 - 3 years ago
    I was raised in the RC tradition, and taught that the 4th Commandment is "Honor thy father and thy mother." Why, in this Bible trivia, is the 4th Commandment "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy?" In the RC tradition, that is the 3rd Commandment. I compared this chapter of the King James version, with the Douay Rheims version, and, both versions seem to state the 4th Commandment as I was taught. I am confused. Please clarify this for me. I was taught the Commandments as follows:

    1. I am the LORD thy God, thou shalt not have strange gods before me.

    2. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD, thy God in vain.

    3. Remember thou keep holy the sabbath day.

    4. Honor thy father and thy mother.

    5. Thou shalt not kill.

    6. Thou shalt not steel.

    7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

    8. Thou shalt not bear false witness of thy neighbor.

    9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife.

    10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors goods.

  • Jim on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
    Thou shall have no other gods before me. God admit that he is a jealous God, which mean, our God will not accept his people worshipping anything, other then himself. Do not worship money, cars jewelry, houses, yourself nor man.god didn't accept it back then and he definitely will not accept it now.stay true to God and he will take care of you; if you disrespect him your name will be taken out of the lambs book of life. In reference to exodus chapter 20.

    Reply to Matther ch. 1

    The lineage found in Matthew ch. 1 is the lineage of Joseph, "the husband of Mary" ( Matt. 1:16). Joseph's father is "Jacob" ( Matt. 1:15, 16). This lineage was established (among other things) to show the regal or king line from which Jesus Christ would come. This line runs from Abraham, through king "Solomon" and ends at Christ, through Joseph, the husband of Mary. The lineage found in Luke ch. 3 is of Mary. The father of Mary was "Heli" ( Luke 3:23). Jesus was "as was supposed" ( Luke 3:23) the son of Heli, which is a legal term meaning "in-law," or "by-law," i.e., Jesus was the legal son of Joseph through marriage. The lineage which ends at Christ through Mary in Luke 3:23-39 runs, not through Solomon, but his brother "Nathan" ( Luke 3:31, 2Sam. 5:13, 14) and brings us all the way back to Almighty God Himself in Luke 3:38. Our Lord and Savior is called the "Son of David" because He was promised to David in ( 2Sam. 7:12, 16).
  • Peter - In Reply on Exodus 20:4 - 3 years ago
    I would think that a graven image is bad or can lead us astray and that you should not bow down to them or serve them and that the only image that you worship, bow down to and serve is the image of God.
  • Peter - In Reply on Exodus 20:4 - 3 years ago
    For anyone who believes that picture of family is a graven image; if and when you are asked to blow down to a graven image; then you would see what a graven image really is; and it would not be just pictures of your family. Pictures are not images. That just confuses people so that they will not know when they need to know.

    I would say that we have many images in our minds and the main one would be that of family and God and in fact God should be the main one for many reasons. We are or were in the image of God when God created Adam as Adam was without sin, and he talked and walked with God; but when he sinned; he then had the power to know good and to know evil; and decide what to pick and do and what to do to redeem himself; it talks about the tree of life; Jesus died for our sins and through Him, we are forgiven and I would say we must continue to follow him to be redeemed
  • Peter - In Reply on Exodus 20:4 - 3 years ago
    Forbids the making of graven images, 2 factors here, graven and images. i know that images are more than pictures; and graven relates to the grave i think but i haven't being able to put it together to clearly understand it;
