The Commandments
Objectivity will have to consider rules and a lot of reasons, and subjectivity will consider favorites. “GOD has no favorites,” said Father Arvin Revagorda, a holy priest. I agreed with him. “But Jesus had favorites too, while He was still a man; only that, He was fair to all,” I answered. And he smiled.
In the Divine Trinity, Jesus is the Father’s Son. His thoughts can never compare to anyone. It is as high as the heavens, and man in his elegance wouldn’t know this with all the books and estates he possesses. But man with the help of the Holy Spirit who gives wisdom must understand Jesus big loving heart that goes beyond all the rules.
Rules, canons, dogmas, principles, laws, canyons, opus: these are just a system of symbols, in Semiotics, the study of codes (Robert Scholes). Men have various discipline, interpretations, and a way of life. And because humanity needs to progress, man needs a set of rules which is a sign of civilization (growing culture). We are (us in the present) distinguished here from barbarians/cannibals ( us in the past), who just kill each other for food, clothing and territories.
Over the years, society has been guided by laws to protect the people. Each person has the right and freedom to live a happy life, but... These laws rooted from a set of rules that was handed down to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. Moses, was given these laws for the Israelites, the chosen people (Exodus 19:1-34,35 – The Ten Commandments).
The Israelites represented the people of God, the whole human race. There are specials studies and interpretations that come with this. Moreover, as God’s followers, a golden rule summarizes into two: Love God and Love thy neighbor as thyself. “Do good to others as you want others to do to you.”
Isn’t that simple for everyone?
There are no religious tags here, but a rule that is basic and simple for anyone to understand in any religion, in any age, in any race; for everyone. No one can be ignorant here because this is the universal law, just as the “Our Father” is the universal prayer.
The Ten Commandments (Holy Bible)
I am the Lord your God: you must not have any other gods except me.
You must not use the name of the Lord your God thoughtlessly.
Remember to keep the Sabbath as a holy day. (There are six days for working. But the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God.)
Honor your father and your mother.
You must not kill.
You must not commit adultery.
You must not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet they neighbor’s wife.
You shall not covet you neighbor’s goods.
The heart over the mind is what I thought of today. As soon as I woke up, I thanked the Holy Spirit for guiding my thoughts thereby realizing that if thoughts are unselfish, Heaven will make its way, despite all the opposing commands and evil thoughts. The love and power of GOD will always reign. Behold God’s commandments!
