Were the ten commandments strictly given to the Hebrews?

VIEW:413 DATA:2020-03-20

The ten commandments were written by the finger of God and given on stone tablets to Moses ¹ . Does this determine that only the Hebrews should obey? Of course not. Anyone who considers such laws to be fair could use it. Not that it would make him Hebrew, but it would show that such a person has the Spirit of God who shows him the best way. Since the ten commandments determine moral concepts, not concepts of national organization.

From the period when Moses received the tablet, to the previous periods, we have that there was a standard for men. So that the law will not kill ² , it can be seen in the case of Cain and Abel. We see that Cain hid the action he had committed, noting that such a thing was already known to be wrong. Plus Cain knew what death was and feared death ⁴ .

We can also find the issue of adultery, in what he mentions, that a man should be united with his wife when God has united ⁵ . But Jesus determines that such a determination predates Moses ⁶ . We therefore have norms of the principle that Jesus demonstrates to be the important thing. These norms for bridging the gap between principle and modernity are found in the Ten Commandments.

We speak for example of Sabbath, death and adultery, so we have to understand how to know sin. And to know sin it is necessary to know the law ⁷ . So this law is known from the beginning, as we see such laws in the ten commandments ⁸ . So that sin can only be known if it is said to be ⁹ . Thus the law that we find to be the bridge of the norms of the principle, with the mosaic time and beyond it is the ten commandments.

See that the Ten Commandments is so high that it cannot balance with the statutes of Moses for the people. For example, the Ten Commandments says you will not commit adultery, but in the Mosaic laws you could get a divorce letter ⁶ . Jesus said that such things were not so in the beginning and that a divorce letter could not be given. So the ten commandments are above the laws of Moses since the two together do not balance.

Take, for example, the law of commandments that says you will not kill ¹⁰ . But the Mosaic law says eye for eye, tooth for tooth ¹¹ , which is a Hamurabi code. Jesus demonstrates that this Mosaic Law should not be followed, showing that the Law of the Ten Commandments ¹⁰ , is above all Mosaic norms, since there are several laws for death in Mosaic Laws ¹² . So that the ten commandments ¹⁰ , cannot be understood with the Mosaic law ¹², this shows that the law of the ten commandments is at a different level from the mosaic law. While the Ten Commandments focuses on a moral view, Mosaic law focuses on a system of political organization. In this way, the Mosaic law has only function for a political organization, extracting the political organization, it loses the sense of the existence of the Mosaic laws.

Therefore, the Ten Commandments are an unfolding closer to the main fundamental concepts ¹³ . And how about above the Mosaic Law, since the Mosaic Law has repeatedly disobeyed ¹² the rules of the Ten Commandments ¹⁰ . So we can see that the ten commandments remain, but it is not entirely complete, and a more complete level would be the two fundamentals ¹³ . And the highest level exposed would be similarity ¹⁴ .

In conclusion we have that if the person follows the most fundamental principle, which is the similarity ¹⁴ , he automatically follows the two fundamentals ¹³ , and thus automatically keeps the ten commandments. But the Mosaic law containing the fundamentals of the Hamurabi ^code11 , will not be really followed by those who keep the fundamentals ^14,13,10 . Christ exemplified in practice the understanding of the ten commandments in their foundations, and determined to obey the principles of principle ⁶ . A person who resembles God ¹⁴ does not need the law, not that he does not follow it, he does follow it but on a much more complete level. But when he cannot correctly understand the similarity ¹⁴, then you must go to the two fundamentals ¹³ , but if you do not understand the two fundamentals you have to see the ten commandments ⁹ . A person who resembles ¹⁴ to God does not kill ¹⁰ , a person who follows the two fundamentals ¹³ , also does not kill ¹⁰ , so whoever keeps the ten commandments ⁹ , follows part of what really is ¹⁴ . and whoever follows the two fundamentals ¹³ , follows part of what really is ¹⁴ , but follows more than the ten commandments ⁹ . But it is impossible to follow the two fundamentals ¹³ , without following the ten commandments ⁹, and it is impossible to follow principle ¹⁴ , without following the two fundamentals ¹³ , and therefore it is impossible not to follow the ten commandments ⁹ . When it is said that if the law is written on the heart, the main idea is principle ¹⁴ , which does not alter the obedience of other factors in any way ^9,13 . We are only expanding the concepts and reaching the principle ¹⁴ on which the ten commandments ⁹ and the two principles ^{13 were based} .
