1st and 2nd Commandments

Hi! A little busy with homework, sorry :)

So, let's get down to business. I'm going to explain the first two commandments in a way that you can understand:

1. Thou shalt not have any other gods besides me.
2. Thou shalt not make for thyself any graven image.


These two are the oldest sins in the book (Bible) and nowadays everybody thinks that this sin is dead and alive only in cults and religions that extend beyond reason. Well, if you thought that, you're wrong. I'll explain the first first (you get what I mean -_-).


Basically, without intending to insult other religions, most of the 'gods' in this world are made up, and i say this again : made up. Taking that definition, we inevitably make our own gods in our heads, thinking that 'god' wants or condones everything we do. To atheists, they make themselves their own gods (they rule their own lives). 


The old testament people thought this commandment was merely about idolatry and polytheism which neighboring countries  actively worship. But please take time to read this verse:


Luke 16:13
                   ¹³ “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”


The god of your life may be your money, your love one, your family, or your money. Bottom line is that if God is not the center of your life, you are breaking this commandment and I'm sure every one of us has broken this commandment at some point in their lives.


So Conclusion? You've sinned this one. One down and 9 more to go and I'll prove that every one of us has broken every commandment in the book. :)


The next commandment, second, is to not make any graven images on earth, in the heavens and etc. People think it's the same with the 1st commandment but it's not though they are very closely related. If you broke this commandment you have probably broken the 1st Commandment too and vice versa.


At the very least it's kind of an improvement if you break this commandment (well, not really).A reason is that nowadays, people make God in their own image with their ignorance. A god that suites them, (This is kind of better because at least the one committing this sin knows about God) is what they unconsciously create so they can go on with their sinful lifestyles but they do 'believe' in God and I think that's one step closer to converting them.


For example, a person cheats on a quiz therefore, he is assuming that God allows or condones his cheating thereby making a graven image of a god that condones cheating. Technically, this commandment is so broad that almost every sin committed can be classified as breaking this commandment. 


Conclusion again? You've broken this one so that's two and eight more to go...:), so tune in next week for the third and the fourth commandments.

Personal Experience #1

HellO! It's been a while since I last blogged, because I was so busy... Hopefully, you would forgive me, :) (if anyone is even reading this).


The last time I blogged (I can't remember when -_-)  I said that I would share a very intimate secret with you, readers. It's about a dream that I once had while I was very young ( possibly when I was 8 or 9 years old). Note that, I'm not one of those imbeciles who claim to be the Christ or anything. The thought of it is purely inconceivable.

There was an indent or a big hole (unclear) in the ground. There I was in somewhat slightly elevated ground. I also noticed that I was a teenager (actually I noticed this when I was 16 since I looked exactly the same as I was before... :D) . And several feet away from me was my anti thesis. Now when I say anti thesis I meant my opposite (he looked white to me -_-), I don't really get why there's two of me (dreams are always weird) but the thing is that he was laughing and I was about to get eaten by a lion or a tiger, whichever is cuter.

So when the lion ( or tiger) was about to pounce, I closed my eyes and then suddenly I saw some guy with wings (an angel maybe?) was carrying me and the guy with the tiger ( or lion )  was cursing or at least very angry anyway. I was then carried to a mountain (Mt. Sinai? you'll found out why later...). Then it came to me (I don't know how) that the guy with the wings was someone name Jesus. Now, It is important that you know that I first heard of Christ's name during my high school mostly because it was a Christian school so after this dream it didn't much have an impact to me. :D.

So moving on, He later received two stone tablets from a big hand (dreams are supposed to be weird). Now pause for a while.


By this time, you should have realized what those two stone tablets are. Oh yeah, those were the ten commandments, so now you understand why I am so close to the ten commandments. :). I do not claim to be Moses or his reincarnation (I don't want to be a plant [mosses] ) or anyone in the Bible though I do idolize certain people in the Bible like apostle Paul. Of course, Jesus is still my biggest idol. =)...

So that's that. I hope you appreciate this story. Only my two best friends know of this story so you'll conclude that I won't reveal who pupil03 is... hahaha

My next blogs will cover the explanation of the ten commandments, two commandments a week. And to anyone who haven't read my previous blogs, please read them and please comment!! :D
