List of New Testament Commands
In a small group Bible study we are getting ready to discuss all of the new testament commands. I was hoping to have a book that listed all of the commands given by Christ and then the commandments given by the Apostles. I have done a search of my library for the word "commands" in large text, topic and heading text. Most returns dealt with the Ten Commandments or had obvious omissions.
Does anyone know of a list like this in Logos? The best that I have come up with thus far are: (1) Curiosities of the Bible Pertaining to Scripture Persons, Places and Things: What Christians Should Be. (2) New Nave's Topical Bible: Commandments. (3) Willmington's Book of Bile Lists: Command's to Believers.
Would you agree that these resources are a comprehensive list once went through?
I truly appreciate your help on this. I have Scholar's Silver, eBible (I think the largest package) and some extra add on's.

10 Commandments in the Bible
Fun Logos challenge: Using only Logos resources find the division into 10 in each of these traditions (they all differ) Note which use Deuteronomy and which use Exodus.
This puts us not only on the same page but also on topic.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
Your argument is with Christ, Paul, and the other NT writers then... 
I understand that there are Ten Commandments, and Christ summed those up into two; and yet, we are still unable to keep them. I am not interested in legalism. I was simply looking for a list of all the commands and found those. I thought it would make an interesting study. You could look at all of the commands/instructions found in the NT as different aspects of fulfilling or keeping the Decalogue.

True, I had to go so far back into my history to find the right layout that had all this info on it......that i couldn't believe that I still had it...

Really, there is no arguement to be had. If we understand the break-down of how they are presented:
Christ really never stated them one by one, yet insted stated that there were two, citing the two MAIN parts, and many times at that.
Paul on the other hand went beyond that and expounded on the 10; and the two; careful study of his writings clearly shows that he went beyond that and brought the sub-categories to the chruches, explaining to them what and why, only due to their lack of undserstanding based on their corrupted traditional habits.[Rom 13.9; 1 Cor 14.37 to start with]
He never gave anything new or added to the existing 10. If by expounding and giving proper exegit thereto constitutes a 'command' per se, then we grossly mis-interpret Paul and the Message he brought to the churches and to us.....and his understanding given to him.....
Hope this helps.......

Fun Logos challenge: find then build visual filters for
Then find the answer as to what denomination uses the 10 commandments most frequently in their worship services.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
It's difficult to deal with this subject without having a Theological discussion.
My input therefore is simply a couple of hints concerning "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." from my studies/research.
There are over 600 "passages" that contain teachings we are commanded to believe/follow/observe.
These contain over 1000 teachings that we, as believers, are to follow/observe.
Yes, they have the weight of "commands".
"To whom much is given, much is expected" is often forgotten in our time. We have been given the greater , thus, more is expected, not less.
It's a study that is really quite shocking in the discoveries one makes.
I didn't do it with visual filters, but now that I have them, will be fun to re-do and see what I may have missed.
Great subject, will be interesting to see what can be done with software in this case.
Blessings.
One search found many more variations of Ten Commandments plus some insights:
"Insight" is an overly generous word to describe this extrabiblical proclamation from Easton's,,,
Pure fabrication. No such distinctions are made...YHWH clearly considers the "ceremonial" law to be a moral issue. Tohraah is "every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."

"The Unbelievable Work...believe it or not." Little children...Biblical prophecy is not Christianity's friend.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets...
The first four of The TEN Commandments tell us how to love our Eternal Father YHWH.
The remaining six tell us how to love our neighbor as our self.
Though it isn't difficult to see how this "summation" was derived, it is nonetheless an artificial (and inaccurate) summary. All ten describe how we are to love YHWH. He is our Father, He was murdered, He was deceived, He was robbed, He was cheated on, what was rightfully His was coveted by others (the Pharisees). Also, the first four can be "love toward fellow man" when properly modeled--modelling appropriate behavior is loving others.

We may well keep the first nine David, but that last one, thats the one that gives the most trouble! smile! Thou shall not Covet.
Yep, gets us every time -smile.

I have broken them all, but that doesn't mean I don't keep them.
Every material possession I own (mostly books) fits in two small rooms...and I am working on condensing those down to just one. About the only thing someone could say I covet...is Logos resources. [:P]

There is a list of N.T. commands, not always imperatives, at http://www.puritan-books.com/books/pdf/new_testament_commands.pdf. It is not in Logos, but it is easy to get to.
Peace to you, Dorothy! And welcome to the Logos Forums where Logos Forums Brothers and Sisters from all corners of the world seek to help and encourage one another 24 hours a day!There is a list of N.T. commands, not always imperatives, at http://www.puritan-books.com/books/pdf/new_testament_commands.pdf. It is not in Logos, but it is easy to get to.
I notice that this is your first post -- and a "helpful" one as you are sharing some truly lovely information with us!
Thank you, and God Bless you! I look forward to your posting again! Indeed!

A fascinating list, even if I find the organization a little haphazard!
Maybe someone could take this list and update it a little... the language does not need to follow any particular version. "Be instant in season, out of season?" "Be pitiful?" [:O]
Awesome! A very useful list. Looks like the source is Dake's study bible.

I don't know anything about these websites. I was just trying to determine the origin of the lists and found them.
Here it is in Word. While not strictly proper, I took the liberty of converting the bible references from bold, all caps to normal abbrevs. No other changes were made to the text.
Thanks, Randy! I put it in my folder of PB books to be compiled ..... Will enjoy perusing it .... and appreciate your sharing ....
Peace! *smile*

Randy, thanks for taking time to put it into a docx format. This is very helpful.

Google "all the imperatives in the New Testament." There is no resource in Logos to help you in this regard.
Beware not to understand all imperatives as commands, many times an imperative is used as a request. Remember, stay full of the grace of God. Our response to imperatives must always be from a heart filled with the love we have for God because of His incredible gift of salvation, not because we are commanded to do something.
Have you done a search of imperative verbs on the words of Jesus?
Logos 5.2b SR-2 can search for Greek imperative mood ANDEQUALS words-of-Christ with wildcards, which takes awhile for results:
([field bible, content] <lbs-morph+el ~ V??M????>) ANDEQUALS words-of-christ:(a*,b*,c*,d*,e*,f*,g*,h*,i*,j*,k*,l*,m*,n*,o*,p*,q*,r*,s*,t*,u*,v*,w*,x*,y*,z*)
Note: a collection with subset of resource(s) is quicker to search.
There is no resource in Logos to help you in this regard.
Peace. Logos has many Bible resources in English, Greek, and Spanish that can be searched for imperative mood usage:
