JESUS HOLY COMMANDMENTS
We are all aware of God’s Holy “Ten Commandments” as written in the book of Exodus in the Holy Bible.
They are pretty straight-forward dealing with loving and respecting God, and how we “should deal” with one another, with our fellow man.
Man thought the last seven of the ten commandments so important, man actually through time enacted them into laws of the land recognized today worldwide.
But are you aware that Jesus too issued “Commandments” to us that he expects us to follow thru with and carryout if we are to consider ourselves as “Christians” followers of Jesus Christ, his apostles? They can be found throughout the four Gospels.
I am going to provide a listing of:
52 Commandments issued by Jesus to his disciples and followers, and provide the biblical reference for you to read for yourself, the biblical quotation and context in which it was issued. This is not to say there are not more.
There are “Commandments” that were issued by the Apostles that are included in their various Epistles.
Because they are stated by the apostles, they are not lesser Commandments, for they are inspired by God and Jesus through the Holy Spirit and divinely recorded in God’s Holy Word the Holy Bible.
Example:
I Corinthians: 14: 34-35; Though this was a commandment given by Paul to the Christian followers in Corinth, we know that Jesus personally chose Paul and we further know that Paul was instructed by Jesus and inspired by the Holy Spirit of God.
Therefore Paul’s teachings are an extension of Jesus inspired by the Holy Spirit.
This cannot be in dispute, otherwise the Epistles and letters of Paul found in The Holy Bible put the entire bible under scrutiny including the Old testament as well as the (4) Gospels.
The very first one is directed especially at the Roman Catholics although it applies to all who consider themselves a “Christian”.
