Do Protestants believe in the Ten Commandments?

[HisBelovedMelody]

You wear what you want, I'll go with respect. We Catholics have great respect for Jesus Christ. We take the Holy Mass very seriously. Thank you Jesus

I see religion is greatly respected. BUT the LORD looks on the heart. GOOD thing. I would rather my kids, or anyone show up in jeans and hear about the Lord than be a hypocrite and turn them away and not hear the message. Think about that while you are up there on your high horse looking down.

I too have great respect for the Messiah.

And I realise that He wants my heart, not my pants.

LOL, amen. Our hearts and purity towards Him is what He wants..not the religious jargon that some would think is becoming. GOOD point.

So now that you have asked about us protestants believing in the commandments may I ask you if you do Bella?

 

[KJVisTruth]

Respect is earned, not by how you dress.

 

[Rion]

Bella, would you look down upon someone if they came to your church dressed in pants? How would your church react?


Now tell me, if this person is poor and cannot afford to buy "nice" clothes, is your answer any different?

Ten Commandments
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Honor thy Father and thy Mother.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thou shalt not kill.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thou shalt not steal.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

1. You shall have no other Gods before me.
   
2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
   
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
   
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
   
5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
   
6. You shall not murder.
   
7. You shall not commit adultery.
   
8. You shall not steal.
   
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
   
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s."​

Why are these different?​

Asked my Catholic friend. Cause they place 1&2 together of ours. We put 9&10 together on theirs. In the actual text, it's the same. They just seperate different than we do.

There are a lot of wise guys on this thread...not surprised. My friends, I DO NOT wear jeans to church out of RESPECT for my Lord. I dress every Sunday very nice. I wouldn't be caught dead in jeans in church. You know, Guy doud the Protestant turned Catholic was the one who said his church was "blue jeans preferred". Even he saw the Holy Catholic church and it's members dressed mostly in suits and ties, and nice clothing. Again, it is called RESPECT. Get it?

So....do I get a prize for being Protestant, wearing skirts/dresses to church and respecting God?





Thank you God for judging our hearts and not our clothes.....

There's more to respect than the way we dress.

Indeed, it's possible to dress very smartly, but to have no respect.

On the other hand, it's possible to be wearing rags, and to be very respectful indeed.

Just a thought.

David.

Um No because they have omitted one..I just wondering why that is?

Here is the reason for the Sabbath, it was for a sign of a covenant between God and the children of Israel.

Exodus 31:16-17
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

Here's what happened if you so much as picked up firewood:
Numbers 15:32-35
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

This is what all of these people are trying to explain to you.
You yourself do not keep the Sabbath unless you rest and do absolutely nothing, not even clean up after the dog in the back yard.
And no making meals:

Exodus 16:23
23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

(And Sabbath wasn't on Sunday, it was the Seventh Day)


You go to church on Sunday.
This is very nice for you.
But Jesus did not tell us to go to church on Sunday.
So when you ask if others go to church like Jesus commanded, you are asking a question that cannot be answered.

He didn't command it. As hard as that may be for you to believe, he didnt' say it.

Hope that helps,
sunlover

That is nice and I even noticed the catholics an etiquette site on how to dress.

Understanding how to act or knowing what to do during a Catholic Mass can be frustrating especially if you never attended one. Here are some suggestions on what you can do when you attend.

 

[Jimlarmore]

And oh, to answer your question:

Yes, I do keep the Sabbath set-apart, and I do rest on it.

Now the question is, do you?

From your posts, the answer seems to be no, you don't actually keep the 4th commandment at all.

I'll say it again, the Sabbath doesn't = Sunday/the Lords Day.

Edit: Also, SDA's also keep the 4th commandment. So do Messianic Jews.

There is a Seveth-day-Catholic church in Oklahoma City. Also there are the 7th day baptists, the world wide church of God and several more I can't name right now that keep God's command to observe and celebrate the 7th day of the week as Shabbot.

God Bless

When and if I ever convert to Judaism, then I will observe the Jewish Sabbath.

 

[Jimlarmore]

There were no Jews in the garden of eden when the Sabbath was created. If you are saved and finally go to your reward in the earth made new you will keep the Sabbath as well. Read Isa 66:22-23 where the Bible makes it plain that we will come before God each Sabbath in the new earth.

So if we observed the Sabbath in Eden before sin entered the world and we see here that we will keep it after the sin problem is resolved . Why do we think it's not necessary now? Coming into the rest of God is a precious and wonderful blessing.

I was wondering if Protestants believed in the Ten Commandments, especially "KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY". On every answer in the thread pertaining to going to church as is God's Commandment, every one was Protestant and believed in NOT going to church on the Sabbath. What's up with that? You cannot make your own rules like one post read "as long as Jesus is in your heart"...etc...that is not so. Seems only the Catholic posts take the Mass and church seriously. So my question to non-Catholics would be, either a yes or no answer. Do you keep God's comandment of keeping the Sabbath Holy by attending church EVERY Sunday??

IF we are filled with the spirit, in fellowship we are living under Grace, which the commandments are included in. When filled, we are abiding by ALL of Gods mandates.


There is a moment-by-moment Sabbath for the Church Age. In the Church Age we do not have a Saturday Sabbath. That didn’t work too well, the Jews didn’t learn anything from it. So in the Church Age, since every believer is a priest, God beefed it up. He gave us a moment-by-moment Sabbath, the faith-rest technique. This is also a principle by which the believer enters into the supergrace life. So the moment-by-moment Sabbath or the faith-rest technique is the growing stage, and then the annual Sabbath - taking a Sabbatical year — is supergrace.


7. Illustrations of the moment-by-moment Sabbath or the dynamics of faith-rest. a) Abraham in Romans 4:17-21; b) Moses at the Red Sea — Exodus 14:10-14; c) The bones of Joseph in Hebrews 11:22; d) Caleb and the giants - Numbers 13 and 14 cf. Joshua 14:6-14; 15:14; Judges 1:20.

The Lord gives us one day at a time, therefore we worship everyday. My church practices this everyday with the congregation.

So during the Church Age Saturday is out. Not only is Saturday out but so is every seventh year and the year of Jubilee. The Sabbath is all over. Now we are starting all over and so we start with the first day of the week, Sunday, the day the Church began. That is what for the last two-thousand years most people observe Sunday. Once you start assembling on Sunday you pick up on doctrine and you find out that you must regard every day as a gift from God, every day is to be regarded alike, every day is the Sabbath in the church age, not for rest but for worship.

EVERY DAY in the church age, we are to worship the Lord by learning bible doctrine, everyday. But, the special days are always the days when a nation has won its victories in battle. Why? Because it is the military that provides freedom for a nation and no nation ever had freedom apart from its military, that is a divine law.

So..........

Col.2:16-17~~Consequently, STOP allowing (don't listen to them) anyone to judge you in eating and drinking, or in the matter of a feast, or of the new month, or of the Sabbaths.

 

[tulc]

Uhmmm linssue55? I'd like to agree with you, and I think I get what you're saying right up to here:

EVERY DAY in the church age, we are to worship the Lord by learning bible doctrine, everyday. But, the special days are always the days when a nation has won its victories in battle. Why? Because it is the military that provides freedom for a nation and no nation ever had freedom apart from its military, that is a divine law. (emph. added)

and right there I got lost. care to explain?
tulc(sort of confused)

 

[Ino]

This is the funniest thread ever!!!
I got very confused after the first page, but it sure kept me entertained. God must be laughing at us right now... at least I hope He's laughing...

Bella55: I don't think you started this thread to learn, I believe you are looking for an argument. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what it seems like.

No, I don't attend church every sunday or wear my best clothes when I do.

Everyday was a Sabbath in the Garden

Thanks, but I will just wait for the new "land/heaven" after it is purified.

Matt 23:33 `Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?

Ezekiel 39:12 "For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse/purify the land. 13 "Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified," says the Lord GOD.
