Exodus 19:16 -21:21The Lord lays out the following things, 1 You must not have any other god but me, he is a jealous God who will not tolerate our affection for any other Gods 2 We must not misuse his name 3 we must observe teh sabbath no one in teh family must do any work on teh sabbath 4 honour our fathers and mothers 5 we must not murder 6 we must not commit adultery 7 we must not steal 8 we must not testify falsely against our neighbours 9 we must not covet our neighbours house 10 we must not covet our neighbours wife or anything else that belongs to our neighbour. God expands on some of these laws to lay out cleared direction.
Matthew 23:13-39
Jesus speaks of teh sorrow and tragedy that awaits teh teachers of religous law as they have more importance on teh gold in the temple itself than the temple itself or the meaning of the temple. He also says tithing is important6 but more important are justice, mercy and faith. "You strain your water so you won't accidentally swallow a gnat, but you swallow a camel." He talks of them washing the outside of the cup but the inside being filthy (isn't this like a lot of us caring more about show and appearance than the truth of our heart) He goes on about how these religous leaders have built tombs for prophets that there ancestors had killed and that they are teh same as there ancestors.
Proverbs 7:1-5
Obey my commands and live, guard my ministries as you guard your own eyes. Love, wisdom like a sister:Make insight a beloved member of your family.
