That's the way I see it; the 10 summarize the other 603. And then these two summarize the 10, And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people...

That really doesn't clarify exactly what it is, or it's practical working. In other words, this is how it works and these are the benefits it provides

Of course it's true It was the same thing as the sermon on the mount where he said, you have heard it said, but I say unto you. Likewise, you have heard Moses say to put away your wife with a bill of divorcement, but I say unto don't rip asunder what God has joined together as described in Genesis

God's still, small voice in the heart And [God] said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an...

When I say God speaks to people I'm referring to the still, small voice in our hearts, ie, the witness of truth

You understand electricity, but the ancients didn't. They perceived body, soul and spirit. Electrons are matter, but electricity isn't, Therefore, the flesh is body and soul. That's why the terms soulish and fleshly are used interchangeably in scripture.

God speaks to everyone. Most don't listen. I did

Which is what Jesus said, ie a command. That was not spoken in Genesis. He was simply using a reality described in Genesis to formulate a command to the hard-hearted pharisees

Intervene or speak? I don't believe God intervened to cause me to believe, I believe he spoke to me in a way that allowed me to be persuaded and believe

It's not a command. Commands are do this and don't that. The verse you are referring to is a description of what happens when a man marries, ie, he becomes one flesh with a woman. It's not a command to become one flesh; it's a reality

I'm not "after" anything from you other than asking you where sin originates. We've had a back and forth and it seems you think sin only originates in the meat called flesh. I disagree. Sin comes from out of the heart of man

Yeah, which is what I said

And I disagree with your interpretation

Well I agree with them in the sense that natural man of himself has no ability to please God, but he does have the ability to hear and respond to God's voice, which enables him to be taught and at some point be persuaded of the truth of the gospel and believe, which I think the person you...

The history of biblical criticism is pretty remarkable. You wouldn't have a bible apart from it. The evidence has become compelling that those two verses are not original. Take it or leave it.

That's possible, but none of the book of genesis is law in the sense that we are used to, ie, commandments

Natural man does have total inability. When I mention it in regards to Christians it's pertaining to something else, ie, bad doctrine

IMO you need to carefully consider the possibility that Paul didn't write those verses, so the mention therein of the law is irrelevant

What law? The law of Moses? No. The first 5 books of the bible that were possibly referred to colloquially as the law, ie, the law and the prophets? Yes.

It wasn't a command or a law in Genesis to not divorce. Jesus was simply telling them not to destroy something God created because of the hardness of their hearts. Jesus actually sanctioned divorce in the case of adultery
