WHAT ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENT?

Comment: Notice: Exodus 20

1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD your God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 You shall have no other gods before me.
4 You shaltl not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 You shall not bow down yourelf to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 You shall not take the name of the LORD you God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shall you labour, and do your work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD you God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor you son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor the stranger that is within your gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13 You shall not murder.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
15 You shall not steal.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
17 You shall not covet your neighbour’s house, you shalt not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbour’s.

Again: DeDeuteronomy 5:1-21

These are the Ten Commandments.

Notice that there is no work involved in keeping them, none! They are commands telling us what not to do! No work involved in not doing something is there. To honor ones parents which is the one positive command doesn't require work, just a proper attitude and respect toward ones parents.

Now the question will come up do we have to keep the command to keep the seventh day Sabbath, and the answer is no.

Notice:

Matthew 11:28: Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST.

Mattfhew 11:29: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and YOU SHALL FIND REST UNTO YOUR SOULS - YOUR ENTIRE BEING.

Hebrews 4:3: For WE WHO HAVE BELIEVED DO ENTER INTO REST, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Hebrews 4:9: There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.

Hebrews 4:10: For he that is entered into Hs rest, he also has ceased from his own works - we begin to do all things as unto our God, as God did from his.

Hebrews 4:11: Let us labour [work][ therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Revelations 1:4-6: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus the anointed one, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him [JESUS] that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood [as a sin-offering sacrifice], and HAS MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO HIS GOD AND HIS FATHER; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Priests can do all kinds of work on the Sabbath, so the restriction upon them to not work on the Sabbath does not apply. We who are in the Lord Jesus are priests, part of the Melchezidek priesthood in him. Jesus the Messiah is our High Priest.

Mattfhew 12:5: Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple work on the sabbath, and are blameless?
