Thanks for the encouraging words. However, ...Mike,<br />Thanks for the encouraging words. However, I'm not the one who originally wrote Verse 28, which refers to these laws as "The 10 Commandments". <br />If there was any intellectual dishonesty going on, it was on the part of the early Christian church, which wanted to distance itself from the final version by going with the earlier (smashed) version of the laws.The Whited Sepulchrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657366124122012622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-27753536468078594172010-03-02T23:05:45.159-06:002010-03-02T23:05:45.159-06:00By the way.

The 10 commandments I was always taught, have seen and understand to be are different...<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments<br /><br />From there you can see how different interpretations typically apply the following Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-27029268276485808182010-02-24T00:19:23.438-06:002010-02-24T00:19:23.438-06:00By the way...

Absolutely they can say whatever they want.<br /><br />If this proposal read that people must abide by the ten commandments, I would agree with your post. However, as a libertarian, and taking this proposal as it's written, there is no argument for answering 'no'.<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
