but this is a personal Protestant Baptist Church Doctrine.

i feel like i learned something tonight.

that is awesome

was wondering why i was getting attacked over this.

my bad for not understanding this is a Baptist Church Doctrine.
what denomination is it that says the decalogue is the basis of Christianity?

i feel like i have heard that preached from plenty of baptist pulpits. and i also, if I just go by memory, am. inclined to think it is mostly kjv-onlyists, too.

to me this isn't a denominational thing. it's a "lack of knowledge of scripture" thing.

no, i am just putting this info i just learned into a mental category to remember.

Baptist, have so many doctrines.
i never knew this was one of them.
church history is something i wish i knew more about.
i did, this year, find a really good series on it. but it never got to this topic.

decaloguism and kjvism are things I was considering asking the teacher to do a lecture on, actually. he got to "present day" a couple months ago and started doing deep dives on particular topics.

Baptists believe The Ten Commandments are a summary of the requirements of a works covenant (called the "Old Covenant"), given on Mount Sinai to the nascent nation of Israel.


it's even Bolded to show Baptist

We really need to have a very serious discussion about the law! Not about what we think it is but why GOD
wrote it for us and what it means and if we need to keep it or not. I will use only scriptures to make my point,
I urge you to prepare, I will prove to you that we need to keep the 10 commandments and why. All I will ask
is for everyone to keep an open mind and to forget what you think you know. Like I said, I will explain only
based on scriptures not from personal opinion.

Galatians 3:23-25

So far, this is really different. Baptist, evidently see following the 10 Commandments, have no other gods before ME, as work.

And, even though they claim it's a Covenant. It's not actually connected to the Mosaic Law Covenant.


That is the first few paragraphs.

Going back to read more.

But this is all sorts of confusing and generally only Baptist adhere to it.

You have made an assertion; now please provide the evidence.
I will because this doctrine, if you're Baptist, is going to be easy to destroy.

But I need to finish this article and then look how they explain it in layman's terminology.

It really is out there.

Can you imagine getting up every morning, honoring God, and go all day worshiping God and then someone decides that is a WORKS?

Saying, God, I Love You, is a WORKS?

I mean this is just full of goodies.

Can't wait to see how it is written in Southern Baptist bi-laws.

But this article just keeps on giving.

in the typology who is Moses when he breaks the tablets?

is he a picture of Christ here?

Yes.


Deu 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Deu 18:16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Deu 18:17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Deu 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.


Moses as well as God are saying the Messiah would be like Moses and then fast forward to the NT and we have Moses mentioned in the same sentence where *someone* had been a figure of Christ in his life.

Act_3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.


"like unto me"

Moses declares that Jesus would be "like unto me" meaning Jesus would be like Moses!

Moses is saying that he is the figure of the Christ to come. It could not be easier to understand.
