Thread Name: BS: The most pertinacious errors
Subject: RE: BS: The most pertinacious errors
I've read more about this Ten Commandment thing, and have found a couple more "pertinacious errors".

It develops that there is a general Jewish view that Adonai gave the Hebrews 613 Commandments that are all of equal importance, not 10, and that the "ten matters" are not commandments at all, they are actually categories that the 613 commandments fall into.


If that wasn't enough for you, here's a bit more to chew on. The fact is that those commandments were just for the Hebrew people, with whom Adonai made the covenant. They don't apply to the rest of us.

In order to be "Righteous Gentiles" we need to follow The Seven Laws of Noah. Roughly, the are:   

1. Prohibition of Idolatry
2. Prohibition of Murder
3. Prohibition of Theft
4. Prohibition of Sexual immorality
5. Prohibition of Blasphemy
6. Prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is alive         
7. Establishment of courts of law

I just found out about these, but I check them over, and I think I am good.
