| Dec 22, 2015 at 22:42 | comment | added | ScottS | @AlbertVonpupp: However, one thing I do disagree with that link in the previous comment is this: "If obeyed, they will bring rich rewards here and forever; if disobeyed, they will bring condemnation and eternal punishment." Eternal punishment does not come from disobeying that list of commands, but from disbelieving that Christ is provided by God as one's Savior. So their motive for publishing the list is all wrong. | |
| Dec 22, 2015 at 22:38 | comment | added | ScottS | Here is one list of 1050 commands in just the NT. I cannot attest to the accuracy of it, nor what level of overlap, not the context of each to know whether it applies generally to anyone. I hope, however, that is shows to some extent the fruitlessness of seeking a list to follow, rather than taking the commands as general principles of how to live. There is a reason Christ summed morality in those two commands, because again, an exhaustive list is impossible to follow. But two base principles are easy to remember and live by. | |
| Dec 22, 2015 at 22:34 | comment | added | ScottS | @AlbertVonpupp: Your statement shows a misunderstanding still. Righteousness of works requires perfection as the ultimate goal, meaning there is no such thing as "the most important ones" (whether directly written in the Bible or not). James 2:10 notes offending in any point is as if you offended in all (or any) with respect to guilt. And that is just in reference to the Law; that is not counting that God designed people to be like Him (Gen 1:26), including fully righteous. So creating a list, even from the Bible, misses the point that we are to do righteously in the fullest sense. | |
| Dec 22, 2015 at 22:20 | comment | added | Albert Vonpupp | Thank you for your answer ScottS, I know that a full comprehensive list would be hard, but I'm looking for points within the bible. As creating cross references is hard and we do have them, I would like to know the most important ones which are directly written in the Bible, as of others that are not written directly but they are done for good. | |
