Oh. So I didn't!
Okay, let's see which ones are quoted or reflected in the New Testament:
1. Loving God - yep. Jesus said it, and so did John.
2. Don't make idols - not loving God (as above)
3. Don't take the Lord's name in vain - using Jesus' name as a swear word - not loving God (as above).
4. Keep the Sabbath day - Christians do observe one day a week as a day of rest and worship.
5. Honor father and mother - Jesus said that we need to love others and do to them as we would have them do to us.
6. You shall not murder - murder is not loving our neighbor as Jesus said we should do, and it is listed as one of the works of the flesh in Galatians 5.
7. You shall not commit adultery - looking at someone with sexual desire is committing adultery from the heart, as Jesus said. Also listed as a work of the flesh that keeps a person out of the kingdom of God.
8. You shall not steal - this is failing to love our neighbor as ourselves, as Jesus said we should do.
9. You shall not lie - the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, so that lying is not only failing to love our neighbor by deceiving him, but we are also behaving contrary to the Holy Spirit in us. Also, lying about someone else (bearing false witness) is stealing a person's reputation from them.
10. You shall not covet - being envious or jealous of someone's possessions or position, is coveting, and not loving our neighbor as ourselves.
How did I do?
Paul C,
Let's try again to see if this is more html friendly. It is not working but placing the numbering of the 10 commandments vs NT Teaching one below the other. I'll now upload to my homepage and give you the link.
