this is the real God....

I would also like to ask a question, I have heard some of you say you live your life basically according to the 10 commandments and try to be a good person but don't necessarily believe in God, do you not realize that the first and greatest commandment is " I am the Lord your God, and you shall have no other God before Me" and Jesus in the New Testament states, " The greatest of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, this is the first commandment." mark 12:29

so my question is this, if you all try and follow the 10 commandments and live a good life, how can you ignore the first and greatest of the commandments?

Read, man. Read and comprehend what you have read. You fucked up right in the beginning. First fuck up = "live your life basically according to the 10 commandments." Basically is a word with kind of a meaning as the word almost. It doesn't mean you just straight up live by the 10. Fuck up part two = "and you shall have no other God before Me." I never said if I didn't believe in God that that was because I had a God that I believed in or believed in before him (if I did believe).

You're not very good at setting up Biblical traps, are you? Later, QD.

First of all buddy, most people on here that " live their lives according to the commandments" probably can't even list them. Most don't even know that it says anything about One God or to not have any others. So basically you guys pick and choose what you want to follow?

Second- This commandment doesn't only mean zues, allah, ra, ect....It also pertains to material things and yourself. When you believe that you're self sufficient or your possessions come before everything then you have indeed made yourself a god. You from previous posts have stated that you brought yourself out of hard times, you honestly think God had no grace on you at all? Do you think you have tomorrow promised to you or that your world is on a solid foundation? Do you honestly think that you woke yourself up or are self sufficient and are in control of your fate? If so then you have put yourself higher than God and by your own admission put a " god " before Him.

Last- Why then if you don't necessarily believe in the Christian God or His ways do you then choose to " basically " live according to the commandments?

Just FYI

The 10 commandments include the same basic principles of morality in all religions.

It has nothing to do with God; Stealing, Murder, Adultry, Parental Respect, lying have been ideas looked down upon forever.. Way before the Zealots you look up to decided to write this book.

Because I was raised with proper morals and ethics and the knowledge of right and wrong. I don't need God to tell me it is wrong to commit murder, adultery or steal. It doesn't take trips to Sunday school or mass to learn that. That's common sense.

I am not here to preach a message, I am here to give scripture, spread the Word of God, give evidences, and occasionally defend my faith with said evidences.

Wow. Lolol. Contradict yourself much? That's why you look so foolish in here. You're not here to preach a message, but you ARE here to give scripture and spread the word of God. What the fuck do you think the latter two are?!?! In here preaching a message is EXACTLY what you're doing, man.

Also, you haven't defended your faith with any evidences because there is none. Later, QD.
