The following is the text of the commonly accepted (by Christian and Jewish authorities) commandments as found in the book of Exodus:\n\n    "God spoke all these words, saying: I am God your Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, from the place of slavery. Do not have any other gods before Me. Do not represent [such] gods by any carved statue or picture of anything in the heaven above, on the earth below, or in the water below the land. Do not bow down to [such gods] or worship them. I am God your Lord, a God who demands exclusive worship. Where My enemies are concerned, I keep in mind the sin of the fathers for [their] descendants, to the third and fourth [generation]. But for those who love Me and keep My commandments, I show love for thousands [of generations]. Do not take the name of God your Lord in vain. God will not allow the one who takes His name in vain to go unpunished. Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. You can work during the six weekdays and do all your tasks. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God your Lord. Do not do anything that constitutes work. [This includes] you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maid, your animal, and the foreigner in your gates. It was during the six weekdays that God made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. God therefore blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Honor your father and mother. You will then live long on the land that God your Lord is giving you. Do not commit murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not testify as a false witness against your neighbor. Do not be envious of your neighbor's house. Do not be envious of your neighbor's wife, his slave, his maid, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that is your neighbor's." (Exodus 20)\n\nHere's a basic listing:\n\n1. You shall not worship any other god but me.\n\n2. You shall not make a graven image.\n\n3. You shall not take the name of God in vain.\n\n4. You shall not break the Sabbath.\n\n5. You shall not dishonor your parents.\n\n6. You shall not murder.\n\n7. You shall not commit adultery\n\n8. You shall not steal.\n\n9. You shall not commit perjury.\n\n10. You shall not covet.

"the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication." (Rev. 17:1-2 KJV)\nSounds like a party to me!

The garden of Eden WAS in the East of Eden, at the headwaters of a great river which flowed out of the garden and divided into four rivers. (Genesis 2:8-14)\n\nWhen the Flood happened (Gen. 7) it REALLY messed up the real estate, and the garden was destroyed, so there is no need to have a Cherubim standing guard.

My theory is that the Ark of the Covenant are hidden there. If you have ever watched National Geographics dialog on the ten commandments and the box that was made for it; you would see that there has to be something else in the Bermuda Triangle.\n\n"And the tables were the work of God." "And he gave unto Moses ... two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God." "And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables." Exodus 31:18; 32:16.\n\nWe know it had a home in Bethel (Judg 20:18, 27), Shiloh (1 Sam 1:3, 25; 3:3, 4:3), Kiriath-jearim (1 Sam 7:1-2), and Jerusalem (2 Sam 6:12-17). The Bible also says that the ark was carried from (and returned to) Jerusalem, when David was fleeing from his son to Transjordan (2 Sam 15:24-25, 29).\n\nWhen God's temple in heaven is opened, what a triumphant time that will be for all who have been faithful and true! In the temple will be seen the ark of the testament. . . .These tables of stone will be brought forth from their hiding place, and on them will be seen the Ten Commandments engraved by the finger of God. These tables of stone now lying in the ark of the testament will be a convincing testimony to the truth and binding claims of God's law. 7 BC 972 (emphasis supplied)\n\nJust my theory!

It's pretty much summed up in Ecclesiastes:\n"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." Eccl. 12:13 :)

I did a bunch of searches on google and on bartleby.com (an excellent reference site that has an entire section on verse). the closest thing I could find was this passage from the bible: \n\nNUMBER:1316\nQUOTATION:Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.\nATTRIBUTION:Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 6:19-21.\n \nDo you remember where you saw or heard the poem? That might help a bit.

Exodus 20 \n1 And God spoke all these words: 2 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 "You shall have no other gods before me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. \n\n12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. 13 "You shall not murder. 14 "You shall not commit adultery. 15 "You shall not steal. 16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

Matt. 13:44\nAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

You’re correct to a point, that is according to the Law (Old Testament).  From a legal (scriptural legal) point of view the Sabbath is what is now called Saturday.  However, under grace we are to regard every day alike holy unto God thus, every day is Sabbath.  Sabbath meaning set-aside or hollowed, holy unto God, even as God did in the beginning marking the 7th day.  But we are under a new covenant thus we are to keep every day holy unto the LORD not just the 7th.  Not, saying that the law is no more for the law is for the lawless. However, as new creations we are to grown unto the measure and stature of Christ. And one of the things He said unto us, "Come unto me all you that labor and are heave laden I'll give your rest, for my yoke is easy and burdens are light."  Thus we now are in the Rest of the LORD, or the Sabbath (set-aside) time which is call grace, no longer living trying to do what is right because it is written in the Law (Torah) be we are now living and doing what is right because it is our state of being as new creatures.  It is written, "Let no man judge you in the keeping of Sabbaths”.  Peace be unto you and yours. Now just in case you ask, yes I do keep the weekly Sabbath, not because I have to but because it is holy not only written in the word (holy Bible) but in my heart.

It is a tradition of pagan men (specifically Emperor Constantine & those who follow him). It directly contradicts God's will as expressed in the 10 Commandments. God views iniquity like this as an abhorrent abomination.\n\nWe should not test God's Grace. (Do not sin in order to make Grace abound.)\n\nAnyway, the Sabbath Rest was made FOR man - don't abuse it (don't desecrate it); enjoy the Gift with praise & worship as intended.

He didn't denounce it, but He did say that His followers were not of an earthly kingdom, but of a spiritual kingdom.\n\nWe don't follow the Jewish civil/national laws as expressed in Leviticus.  Those laws were given to keep them pure and separated - a distinct nation set apart and holy - for the purpose of bringing Christ into the world.\n\nWe keep all but one of the ten commandments.  They are all reiterated and expounded upon in the New Testament, except for keeping the Sabbath.  We keep the first day of the week - the day He rose.

yes, the 8 fold path is much more profound in my view as well.  all of the 10 commandments could be contained in just a few of the 8 guidelines.  right action and right view would probably cover those 10.  to me, there's something much more attractive about a suggestion than a command.

0 official commandments.\n\nSome nice suggestions though, lol.

It is clear you are trying to say Joshua could have helped Moses carved those stones, like i normally say, you are entitled to what you think, but i do know the bible says the writings on those stones, were written with the finger of God. Exodus.31:18\n\n"And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God."

Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.  \n\n\n Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.  (These "pipes" were supposed to be like musical flutes in his lungs, so that when he sang he would sound like a pipe organ)\n\n\n Eze 28:14 Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  \n\n\n Eze 28:15 Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Wow, I really wondered about it too, so a couple of years ago, I did some research on it, and I came up with three answers that were repeated over and over. I guess to know for sure which one is right, or if any of them are right, you would have to know the person who is placing the stone, and ask them. Below are the three things I found out:\n\n1. In Judaism, placing stones was traditionally a way to help keep the spirit of the dead in the grave. This appears to have been an Eastern European superstition that spread to the Jewish people who lived in that area of the world. It was thought that the spirits of even very good people stuck around to see their bodies buried, and might stay near the grave for a day or two. The stone was a symbolic lid, meant to keep the spirit in, and evil out, so that the spirit was not taken over by an evil force. The great majority of Jewish people in the US are of Eastern European origin, having emigrated here either before or after WWII,  so that tradition is very strong in American Jewish culture. \n\n2. The stone sometimes symbolizes a cairn. Cairns are little, man-made piles of rocks used to mark the site where someone is buried. Cairns were traditional in Scotland and parts of Northern England. Placing one rock represents a cairn, or someone might build a small cairn as a memorial to the dead, such as on the side of the road where a person had been killed in an accident. Cairns were also used to mark a place that had significance, such as a path or a historical site. If I remember correctly, some other cultures marked burial sites with piles of stones, but I am afraid I only remember the Scottish and English for sure, as that is where the word "cairn" comes from.\n\n3. In most cultures, it is considered respectful to bring something to the grave of a deceased person to bear witness to the fact that you were there and that you acknowledge their death and still remember them. For example, in the US, the most common thing that people bring to graves is flowers, even if the person buried there has been gone for a long time. However, any object will do. Sometimes, that object happens to be a stone. The object itself is not considered as important as the act of actually placing it.\n\nIt took me a long time to find out the little bit I told you about above. I see it all the time, but it was hard to find any concrete reasons why people carry on this tradition. I hope my information answers at least part of your question.
