Should you also be putting up a challange for anyone to provide scripture where JESUS says we should not have other Gods; make idols and worship them; use God's name in vain?
If there is no scripture from JESUS are you also arguing that we are free now to have other God's; use God's name in vain? make idols and worship them? You do not believe this do you brother?
Why do you think JESUS has to re-issue God's 10 commandments which in the OLD and NEW COVENANT give us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11 when he had already given them to God's people who already had them for 4000 years?
Yet we read in the scriptures from the very Words of JESUS...
MATTHEW 5:17-22 [17], THIINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS I HAVE NOT COME TO DESTROY BUT TO FULFIL. [18], For truly I say to you, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS ONE JOT OR TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL BE FULFILLED [19], WHOSEVER SHALL BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS AND SHALL TEACH MEN SO, SHALL BE CALLED LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
