.Commandments.2-4.
Sorry about not posting in a couple days... Since I missed a couple days, I'll just post Commandments 2-4. These are the rest of the commandments that we should keep to honor God.

COMMANDMENTS

2nd Commandment

"You shall not make for yourself a carved image - any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth, you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the inquiry of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but show mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."

-Exodus 20:4-6


3rd Commandment

"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain."

-Exodus 20:7


4th Commandment

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, not your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath dayand hallowed it."

Exodus 20:8-11



EXPLANATIONS

2nd Commandment

This commandment is obviously about material idols and statues. If you break this commandment, you are also breaking the first commandment.

3rd Commandment

I wish more people would take this one into effect... I hear people using the Lords name in vain constantly and it doesn't seem to bother anyone. Using the Lords name in any other way than talking to him or about him is considered using it in vain.

4th Commandment

Most denominations kind of ignore this one... It is the only commandment that says "remember" in it, so it has to be important. The seventh day is obviously Saturday, not Sunday. The reason most denominations go to church on Sunday is because the day of worship was changed by the Catholic church to show their power. They don't have the authority to do that since it is a commandment from God to please him, not to show off power. As a Seventh-day Adventist, I go to church on Saturday. From sundown Friday night to Sundown Saturday night is Sabbath.

That is all I'm going to say for now. You should be able to expect the next six next week.

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

God Bless you all!!!
