Why Focus On The Commandments?

We are focusing on the “Commandments” of God (Elohim) because they are the very parts of the LAW that New Testament believers tend to misunderstand or oppose. Unlike other aspects of the Law of God, his Commandments are the part which present us with clear and binding obligations, as laws which sort of have teeth in them. Though the “Ten Commandments” are only a part of the great body of God’s Commandments, there’s a whole lot more where they came from. In a somewhat recent development, I was astonished to find that there are actually some preachers who are beginning to claim that “the 10 Commandments are obsolete”. I would watch out for false ministers like this because if they will lie about something so clearly refuted by multiple scriptures, then they will also lie to you about the more hidden truths in the gray areas which are much harder to understand! One of them has a short video on the topic of “Confession…” of sins, in an attempt to say that confession of sins is not for the believer. Not only is the whole video clip full of doctrinal and procedural errors but starts off with a blatant lie by stating that “The only two definitions of God in the Bible, only two. God is LOVE, God is LIGHT”. Obviously that preacher is quoting 1st John 1:5 (Light) & 1st John 4:8 (Love). However, he failed to mention that “God is a CONSUMING FIRE” according to Hebrews 12:29 (Consuming Fire). When we look further into scriptures, we find that there are more than just two descriptions of what “God is”, because since he is a consuming fire, there has to be at least three things that he is. This should let you know that either this man is a deceiver, or he tends to spout off assumptions as if they were facts before he has studied them out. I give him the benefit of the doubt by supposing that he has spoken before studying this particular issue out. In a case like this, once you have found out a particular minister has confidently and publicly professed something that is blatantly false, you need to either label them as a false minister and leave them behind or keep your guard up by comparing everything they say in the future with the scriptures. Not only should the doctrine fit the rules of the grammar it appears in, but also the grammar it was written in. The doctrine preached should also be in agreement with the context of the verses around it, the chapter it is in, the chapters before and after it, and the context of the entire Bible from the book of Genesis to Revelation.
