The Science and Divine Knowledge within the Commandments

 "Children in whom was no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans."

--Daniel 1:4

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen."

1 Timothy 6:20-21King James Version (KJV)

The commandments of God are more than just laws that were ordained for us Christians to be seen a certain way by man, or to test our faith. They are divine knowledge, for our benefit and health as Christians so we can grow in the mind and feelings (spirit), and overcome evil(things that are morally wrong). Gods will is for us to be complete in our joy, and to destroy sin. unbelievers would say, " If God exist and created everything why cant he just snap his fingers and wala make everything the way he wants it.

 "How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge"

kjv Proverbs 1:22

God gave us free will, and if he done that we wouldn't have free will. See he made us in his image, and we were all meant to be his children. When you have a child and it grows up to be unpleasant and ignorant, do you just kill it and create another one? No, and we are created in his image so we can understand it that way. 

  

And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

niv Genesis  3:22



 

      lets look at the definition of "god". Since all language is man made, and our bibles were not originally English but were translated to fit the definition of a word in our language.

God : a spirit or being that has great power, strength, knowledge, etc., and that can affect nature and the lives of people : one of various spirits or beings worshipped in some religions

     So now that we know where were at in that time spiritually. lets look at the commandments he bestowed on us years after that. Which was after the flood, and to the decedents of Noah, Which is particularly important. (That is an entirely different investigation of scripture that Ill be covering the week after next week.)
     

Exodus 20:3-17King James Version (KJV)

1) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

1. God : a spirit or being that has great power, strength, knowledge, etc., and that can affect nature and the lives of people : one of various spirits or beings worshipped in some religions
2. Deep love and awe of a god, that is a human, like the president or any body with money and influence will lead you astray, because these people are not interested if you live a great life, or not. There only interest, most of the time,  is in the affair of money. This is also a human invention, and a tool for great deception. 

3. Social Psychology

   Social psychology is the study of the cognitive and social processes that underlie individuals' perceptions of, influence over, and interactions with other people. As one of the top social psychology graduate programs in the country, Indiana University - Bloomington trains Ph.D. students in theory and research methods, in preparation for academic or nonacademic careers. http://psych.indiana.edu/social.php
4.  1 Timothy 6:10 [Full Chapter] (KJV)
   
   "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

1. grav·en im·age -a carved idol or representation of a god used as an object of worship
2. In psychology, social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others.^[1] In this definition, scientific refers to the empirical method of investigation. The terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors include all psychological variables that are measurable in a human being. The statement that others' presence may be imagined or implied suggests that we are prone to social influence even when no other people are present, such as when watching television, or following internalized cultural norms. Social psychologists typically explain human behavior as a result of the interaction of mental states and immediate social situations.
3. Out sight out of mind is what I say.

2) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me
⁶ And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

1. Inequity-lack of fairness or justice:
2. God is simply telling you that if you bow down and serve them you will reap what you sow. To be more precise Our Father is telling us that if we serve these gods we will multiply the evil on the earth, and it will cause our children to be treated unfairly. Your children look up to you, and will follow, and seek your approval.

   Stages of moral development

   Main article: Lawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development
   Piaget claimed that logic and morality develop through constructive stages. Expanding on Piaget's work, Lawrence Kohlberg determined that the process of moral development was principally concerned with justice, and that it continued throughout the individual's lifetime.^]
   He suggested three levels of moral reasoning; preconventional moral reasoning, conventional moral reasoning, and postconventional moral reasoning. Preconventional moral reasoning is typical of children and is characterized by reasoning that is based on rewards and punishments associated with different courses of action. Conventional moral reason occurs during late childhood and early adolescence and is characterized by reasoning based on rules and conventions of society. Lastly, postconventional moral reasoning is a stage during which the individual sees society's rules and conventions as relative and subjective, rather than as authoritative.
   Kohlberg used the Heinz Dilemma to apply to his stages of moral development. The Heinz Dilemma involves Heinz's wife dying from cancer and Heinz having the dilemma to save his wife by stealing a drug. Preconventional morality, conventional morality, and postconventional morality applies to Heinz's situation

3)Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

1. Vain-producing no result; useless:
2.  God wants us to come to a resolution that is fruitful when using his name. When addressing God it should not be void of true meaning, and if it is he will convict you of guilt.

    I will finish the last 7 commandments for next week. It'll be posted by Sunday, March 13th 2016

I pray that peace be upon the ones who read these for understanding, and may God bless those who tell others.
Amen.
