What commandment have you not yet broken?

[mephisto794]

Catholic Ten Commandments

1 I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.

2 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
3 Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day.

4 Honor thy Father and thy Mother.

5 Thou shalt not kill.
6 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

7 Thou shalt not steal.
8 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

9 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.
10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.
(source)


Those are the 10 commandments any Christian is supposed to abide by.

Jesus later summarized them in 2 additional commandments :

Love each other as i loved you
Love your enemies


Simple rules, yet quite hard to follow.

Is there a sin you have not yet committed, a commandment you have not yet broken?
Do you feel sorrow when/after breaking a commandment?

To my knowledge, I have not commited any one of the above mentioned sins, not even during sleep or under my most hallucinative trips with magic mushrooms in an apartement full with jewels, machine guns and very attractive and seducing friends wives, or after a heavy sakrit 3ara2..

I also comply fully and with no questions asked with the additional orders of Jesus (sometimes i might exagerate them too)..

What i feel sorrow for and much sad about is the fact that i feel unexplainable sorrow and sadness. This in spite of the fact that i haven't been disobedient to any of the mentioned commandements... A true mystery i say.. Do you think there are other hidden commandments which i might have broken against, but which are kept secret and not publically declared thus far for some higher reason?

Mephisto, suppose non-christians do break against those commandments, would they still qualify as sinners in your opinion? Or is it so that only christian beleivers should feel sorrow and shame when disobeying these rules?

I have broken this one several times. I used to give glory to other gods, whether it was myself or my own image of God (created in my mind and according to my desires).

2 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

I have done this many times, unfortunately.

3 Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day. [/b][/color][/font]

I have also broken this one. Anyway, to a Christian, every day should be a Sabbath day ... not just Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

4 Honor thy Father and thy Mother.

Unfortunately, this has also been broken by me.

5 Thou shalt not kill.

I have hated people ... and hatred, according to Jesus, is murder at heart. So, in short, I have murdered people at heart.

6 Thou shalt not commit adultery.[/b][/color][/font]

I have looked at women with lust. This makes me an adulterer at heart.

7 Thou shalt not steal.

I have stolen.

8 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.[/b][/color][/font]

I have lied.

9 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife.
10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.

I have coveted.

By the way, the above is supposed to be one commandment ... not two. But the Roman Catholics have messed with the Ten Commandments in order to justify the sin of bowing down to statues of Mary.

Those are the 10 commandments any Christian is supposed to abide by.

Not exactly.

As I said before, the Roman Catholics have messed with the Ten Commandments.

Jesus later summarized them in 2 additional commandments :

Love each other as i loved you
Love your enemies

Yes. Love one another.

Simple rules, yet quite hard to follow.

Is there a sin you have not yet committed, a commandment you have not yet broken?

I have broken all the commandments, unfortunately.

Do you feel sorrow when/after breaking a commandment?

Yes ...

But thank God for Jesus Christ!

You've never lusted? Hated? Coveted?

By the way, no need to answer here in public (if you don't want to). Just answer to yourself.

I also comply fully and with no questions asked with the additional orders of Jesus (sometimes i might exagerate them too)..

Additional?

Are you sure you've never broken any of the Ten Commandments?

Humans are BORN sinners, dear taifoon.

This commandment is not for the Jewish only. It's for Christians, too. But, to the Christian, every day is a Sabbath day under the Lord Jesus Christ, for Christians rest in Him everyday.

I like those 2 lines of Jesus more, simply genius, now can you do that? I think its not that hard.

It is hard without Jesus in you.

You need to understand what love is.

For example, patting people on the back for doing drugs is not love.

At least, you're being honest here.

No problem dear DaMan, i have no secrets to hide whatsoever, we're all brothers and sisters after all.. In sins as in virtues

Well, now that you insist, i may have lusted.. I mean i'm only human after all and if tirwi2et Knefeh is called a LUST, than okey, i have sinned.

Same with hate: I just can't stand to be stung by angry mosquitos a hot summer night when sleeping. So, yes, here again i admit i have sinned for hating mosquitos.

As to coveted: Hmm.. I think i need your help on this because i don't know how to interprete it on the sin scale: If it is my neighbours wife who does covet me, am i the one to still be hold responsible? I admit there are grey zones everywhere and i am not sure anymore if i am that innocent, if we start to bend the rules to suit us.

Are you sure you've never broken any of the Ten Commandments?

No, not anymore..

Humans are BORN sinners, dear taifoon.

New born Babies too?
And how about animals? Aren't animals also Gods creation? Are they also born sinners? And if so, what are their chances, if any, to get absolvation and get back on the right track?

And speaking of the devils, aren't we some very advanced version of what originally started as animals?

Taifoon... Holy Taifoon... blessed Taifoon !

you're one in a million... what am i saying here?! you're one in a trillion, one in a zillion (if this number existed!)

but ****...you're missing a lot of fun

One cannot be judged against a rule he/she is not to abide by.

However, the 10 commandments were introduced in the old-testament which is shared by the jews, christians, and (not sure about this) muslims. Moreover, these commandments were supposed to set a new standard of values, more "civilized" than the brutal world of those days.

Well, there lies the difference between a person having a real strong, courageous faith, and any other person.

i can tell for myself, I find the 'ideology' of this 2-liner very idealistic, but until now, I have not been able to put it into application for good.
