A Facebook friend in England, Gary Thompson, posted this article on British churches adopting a "New Ten Commandments" to keep up with the values of people today.
Just a warning, this will likely make you mad, sad and maybe even physically ill, assuming you love the Lord and His word. Here is a sample of the new commands “manage your anger”, “know
God” and “catch your breath”. I am not even sure which commands these are supposed to replace, so this surely isn't a case of translation. It is rather a rewriting of God's word and the acceptance of that rewriting by people who have no respect for God or His word.
Thanks for sharing this Keith. I am so greatful that God's Word never changes. Really when you take the "Thou shalt not" away its not really a commandment is it? More of a suggestion I guess? One of their "Commandments" is "take God seriously" -- I'm not sure changing His Commandments accomplishes that. If nothing else this article has reminded me that I always need to be more about HIS business. The world needs to see that HIS people do take Him and His Word seriously. -- Tori
