No. Just saying by age 13 I had memorize the entire Old Testament like all male Jews and we know it's not listed as you might think concerning the Law and Commandments being the Same.
Ok so you were raised in Judaism?

Are you a Christian?

Ah ok.

But you do know the 10 Commandments were given to all mankind at Sinai, right?
If you read Exodus chapter 16, before God Verbally quoted the Commandments in chapter 20 and before He wrote them in Stone, the Commandments have Always existed. For God to say to Moses what He did in chapter 16 means people knew the Commandments long before God mentioned them in Exodus.

And YES, they're for EVERYONE!!

Revelation 12:6
“And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”

Revelation 16:16
“And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”

Revelation 11:2
“But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”

Revelation 11:8
“And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.”

chapter 15, freed Hebrew Slaves worshiping God
chapter 16, God says to Moses:
כח וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה: עַד-אָנָה, מֵאַנְתֶּם, לִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֺתַי, וְתוֹרֹתָי.28
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws?


but, it's not until Chapter 20, we see these Commandments Spoken by God and then Chapter 31, God, writes the Commandments in Stone:

יח וַיִּתֵּן אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, כְּכַלֹּתוֹ לְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ בְּהַר סִינַי, שְׁנֵי, לֻחֹת הָעֵדֻת--לֻחֹת אֶבֶן, כְּתֻבִים בְּאֶצְבַּע אֱלֹהִים.18
And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.



so chapter 16 shows us the Hebrews knew these Commandments before we read God says them and writes them.


when God says to Moses in Chapter 16 :
How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws?

we never see Moses say, what Commandments and what Laws?

they already knew them.

here's another thing most Christians are unaware of:

ח וַיִּתֵּן אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, כְּכַלֹּתוֹ לְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ בְּהַר סִינַי, שְׁנֵי, לֻחֹת הָעֵדֻת--לֻחֹת אֶבֶן, כְּתֻבִים בְּאֶצְבַּע אֱלֹהִים.18
And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.


God called the Commandments, the TESTIMONY!

so, the Testimony of God, where God is Testifying His Commandments, is most definitely different and separate from the food Laws, Slave Laws, the other Laws, that deal with normal daily life.


the TESTIMONY, was ordered to be in the Ark of the Covenant [type of Jesus] and the Ordinances [Ordinary Laws] were ordered to be separated from the Ark.

so, not even close to being the same thing.

Since I know this is towards me. Like your last several posts. If you could not only read but had the ability to understand the English Language, I said 4 Commandments, not the first 4.

When comprehension doesn't take place, crazy ideas get formatted.

Imagine that?


And show me where God said His Commandments and His Laws, like Exodus chapter 16 clarifies are separate but you insist are one and the Same set of Laws, when chapter 21 shows even God separated them from specially calling them His Laws Orsinances?

Let me see YOU prove they are one and the Same?
I don’t need to prove anything I have not asserted. As for my alleged misreading, it’s irrelevant. You and Brahweh disagree. I’ll let you two fight it out. I’m confident that you’re both wrong. 😎

one can run their mouth and one can prove it.

so, PROVE it, that I am wrong?

you, really want to cement yourself as a liar, huh?

10 posts at me, DINO, and no Bible showing what i have presented can be proven wrong.

i said, where in the Bible did God say the Testimony [Commandments] and ordinary laws are the SAME?

been 2 hours and counting.

if that Verse existed, you, are the TYPE, who would definitely post it.

so, Prove it, like you refer you can?

if you cannot, after all this back-n-forth, it's obvious, you're a liar.

I don't see how any of that specifies today's land of Israel.

Revelation is also a very symbolic book filled with signs and symbols of all kinds.

Which ONE are YOU?

Show me the Biblical Proof God said Commandments and Laws are Same Thing?
Did you miss the part where I said that I don’t need to defend an assertion I haven’t made?

you said i am wrong multiple times, so it is your responsibility to prove that.

WHO
are you, i should take your word for it, since, you run your mouth and then dodge proving me wrong?

in my opinion, after all of these backnforths, your word is not trustworthy.

so, i need you to prove me wrong, not just say i am wrong.
