List of New Testament Commands

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.

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.

• Jewish
• Catholic
• Lutheran
• Anglican

This puts us not only on the same page but also on topic.

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.......

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.

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.

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.

Awesome doc...Thanks! [:)]

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.

Thanks, Randy!          I put it in my folder of PB books to be compiled .....               Will enjoy perusing it ....    and appreciate your sharing ....   

                                           Peace!                                                           *smile*

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.
