Commandment # 1
Posted : 2 Jan, 2012 11:14 AM
Hello everyone:
The First Commandment
Exodus 20:3
(KJV) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
(KJV+) Thou shalt haveH1961 noH3808 otherH312 godsH430 beforeH5921 H6440 me.
(LITV) You shall not have any other gods before Me.
(YLT) `Thou hast no other Gods before Me.
We will be needing a little context for this Scripture.
Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee 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:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy 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;
Many a 'christian' says that they have 'NO OTHER gods' BEFORE THEM'.

There are many christians which do not believe that they have OTHER gods 'BEFORE / ABOVE / AGAINST' ,YHWH,the GOD of Abraham,Isaac,and Jacob.
Yet let us look at just ONE of the MANY gods which countless people worldwide have.
Before we do this,let us see what YHWH says about his 'PROVIDING' for the NEEDS of His people.
Php 4:19 And my God will fill your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Now that we have the Word of YHWH concerning this matter,then i have a Question to be asking.
DO WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE YHWH will provide for whatever i will be needing in this life,and the life to come???
Since YHWH has promised to be PROVIDING what we will be needing in this life and the life that awaits the believers.
How is at there are so many people which CLAIM to be believing the Word of YHWH,which are in 'DEBT'.
How many people claiming the name of Yeshua,that are using the gods of;

Luk 16:13 No servant is able to serve two lords; for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or he will cling to one, and he will despise the other. You are unable to serve God and mammon.
Luk 16:14 And being lovers of money, the Pharisees also heard all these things; and they derided Him.
Visa and other things which take the place of YHWH who is Yehowah Yireh.
There are many other things used of the enemies of YHWH to ensnare the souls the people.
Even believers in YHWH have been ensnared wihtout even noticing.
These same people have been DECIEVED' into believing that they have NO OTHER gods before YHWH,Yet they have man gods before / above YHWH.
Since these people do not TRUST YHWH to provide for what they need,they begin trusting the banks,and the governments to be providing.
Such a tradgedy to be seeing,people in bondage 'CLAIMING' to be trusting YHWH to ptrovide for them,yet they do not believe this.
Isa 29:13 And the Lord says, Because this people draws near with its mouth, and they honor Me with its lip; but its heart is far from Me, and their fear of Me is taught by the commandments of men;
Mat 15:7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying:
Mat 15:8 "This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with their lips honor Me; but their heart holds far off from Me.
Mat 15:9 But in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men." Isa. 29:13
Seeing that man i NOT CAPABLE of believing and acting upon the First of the Commandments of YHWH,
Do you then believe they are able to believe and act upon all of the other nine?
This is the reason and necessity of trusting Yeshua to be saving yourself from the wrath of YHWH against your sin(s).
ALso to be trusting in His completely fulfilling the Law and the Prophets,and all rigtheousness.
And did i also include Yeshua FULFILLED ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS
There is a physical part of breaking these commandments,and a spiritual way of breaking these commandments.
Mat 5:27 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: "Do not commit adultery." Ex. 20:14; Deut. 5:18
Mat 5:28 But I say to you, Everyone looking at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Alas,many say they believe the Word of YHWH,yet even fewer understand the Word of YHWH.
The actions of people expose what they actually believe.
I include myself in this.
Shalom

ps:
Gal 3:1 O foolish christians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, to whom before your eyes Jesus Christ was written before among you crucified?
Gal 3:2 This only I desire to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of Law or by hearing of faith?
Gal 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, do you now perfect yourself in the flesh?
Gal 3:4 Did you suffer so much vainly, if indeed it also was vainly?
Gal 3:5 Then He supplying the Spirit to you and working works of power in you, is it by works of Law or by hearing of faith?
Mar 1:15 and saying, The time has been fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draws near. Repent and believe in the gospel.
