For the next children’s Sunday School quarter (September - November), we will focus on memorizing Exodus 20. Scripture memory plays an important role in the discipleship of our children, and our desire with this memory schedule is to assist you with a tool you may find helpful. If your children participate, feel free to choose which Bible version you would like to have your child(ren) memorize. The teachers are prepared to hear recitation from the KJV, NASB, or ESV. You may also determine how much of the verse they are able to handle. For example, the bolded portions of the verses may be appropriate portions for the 2-5 year-old classes. Should you need an additional copy, the verses are also posted on our Sunday school web page at www.mountcalvarybaptist.org/ss-children.

  • Bible Study Notes: the Ten Commandments
    – Anita Dole Bible Study Notes Volume 2 – THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Exodus 19:16-25;20:1-21 First see how much the children can tell about the crossing of the Red Sea. Then remind them that when the people found other difficulties and dangers as they traveled through the wilderness, the Lord saved them each time. They reached Sinai in the third month after they left Egypt. The teacher in preparation should read carefully chapters 15-19, especially all of the nineteenth chapter, and begin the story for today with the events of that chapter. Doctrinal Points The ten commandments are divine laws-not man-made ones. Notes for Parents The journey of the children of Israel through the wilderness was to last for forty years, although the Israelites had no idea of this when they started out. They were a great multitude of people-some six hundred thousand-with flocks and herds which had to feed along the way. But their delay was caused by their own complainings and rebellions and cowardice, not by the length or difficulty of the journey. So it is with us. The wilderness journey pictures the period in our lives when, after we have deter­ mined to break off the fetters of worldly and selfish living, we are trying to make our lives over, to break our bad habits and learn good ones. We, too, often complain and rebel and waste time and strength looking back instead of pressing forward. You know the many wonderful ways in which the Lord met the needs of the people one after another as they arose.

  • The Sixth Commandment “Thou Shalt Not Kill”
    The Sixth Commandment “Thou Shalt Not Kill” (Exodus 20:13 KJV) in the context of Bill C-14 (An Act to amend the Criminal Code of Canada to allow for assisted dying) July 31, 2016 By: Rev. Dr. Eric Bacon It was a few months ago that John mentioned to me that he was planning to present a series of sermons on the Ten Commandments which are now well in progress. At that time he asked whether I would be willing to participate. The assignment was the Sixth Commandment: “You shalt not kill.” (Words from the King James Version). I have to admit that my initial head reaction was “Are you serious?” But being a willing associate and team player my heart said yes knowing that this subject would certainly be a challenge. Following that conversation I began to consider the recurring and necessary question of which we as clergy have to remind ourselves which is: “Given the subject matter, and in this case one of the ten commandments, what message or approach might be of interest or helpful to the congregation, specifically in the here and now of our lives and place in society?” Or preferably, is there a relevant current issue or development within the scope of the selected scripture that deserves our attention and discernment. My answer came on June 16th with the passing of Bill C-14 by the Parliament of Canada, an Act to amend the Criminal Code to allow for assisted dying. Although there is a school of thought that suggests the pulpit is not the place to touch on things political, I believe that the subject matter of Bill C-14 goes far beyond political implications.

  • Catholicism and the Ten Commandments
    Catholicism and the Ten Commandments https://www.dummies.com/religion/christianity/catholicism/catholicism-and-the-ten-commandments/ According to Exodus in the Old Testament, God issued his own set of laws (the Ten Commandments) to Moses on Mount Sinai. In Catholicism, the Ten Commandments are considered divine law because God himself revealed them. And because they were spelled out specifically with no room for ambiguity, they’re also positive law. Hence they’re also known as divine positive law. The Church doesn’t see the Ten Commandments as arbitrary rules and regulations from the man upstairs but as commandments for protection. Obey them and eternal happiness is yours. Disobey them and suffer the consequences. For more, take a look at the Twelve Articles of Catholic Faith. The ten commandments, in order, are: 1. “I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me.” This commandment forbids idolatry, the worship of false gods and goddesses, and it excludes polytheism, the belief in many gods, insisting instead on monotheism, the belief in one God. This commandment forbids making golden calves, building temples to Isis, and worshipping statues of Caesar, for example. 2. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” The faithful are required to honor the name of God. It makes sense that if you’re to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, then you’re naturally to respect the name of God with equal passion and vigor. 3. “Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.” The Jewish celebration of Sabbath (Shabbat) begins at sundown on Friday evening and lasts until sundown on Saturday.

  • Second Sunday of Lent
    2nd Sunday of Lent Every year we have, in all three years of the liturgical cycle, the Gospel story of the Transfiguration on the second Sunday of Lent. This year we have Mark’s version. Genesis 22:1-2. 9-13. 15-18 Abraham is the great Old Testament figure of faith. At the age of seventy-five he answered the call of God and set off for an unknown land. Romans 8:31-34 Paul poses questions: “With God on our side who can be against us?” “When God acquits, could anyone condemn?” The answer is “No!” Mark 9:2-10 For the second time in the Gospels, at Jesus’ transfiguration, the voice of the Father informs the disciples that Jesus is the Father’s beloved Son and adds, “Listen to him.” Reflection "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him". Soon after Jesus' first prediction of his passion and death, he took three of his disciples up a mountain and gave them a glimpse of his future glory. It was on a mountain that God was revealed to Moses, the liberator and Law-giver, and to Elijah, the great prophet. The appearance of Moses and Elijah on the Mount of the Transfiguration was a revelation that Jesus was the new liberator and the new prophet, showing the unity and continuity of God's redeeming work. Peter was awestruck and proposed to set up three tents (such as ones the Israelites lived in, on their journey to the Promised Land). A cloud overshadowed them all, reminiscent of the ‘shekinah’ or ‘glory of God’ that filled the tent in the wilderness (Ex 40:35).

Kopel* I. Introduction The first five books of the Bible are sometimes called the Pentateuch. Jews call them the Torah, which means "teaching" or "instruction." 1 The Torah is by far the most important of Jewish scriptures. The Jewish Bible contains the same books as what Christians call the "Old Testament." Accordingly, the Torah is the foundation of Christian scriptures. This article surveys the Torah's teachings on the right and the duty to defend oneself and others. Part II examines the Book of Genesis, in particular, the "Jewish natural law" which was given to Noah, and the story of Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish people. Part III studies Moses and the Exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt. Part IV looks at Torah laws regarding home defense against burglars, and the duty of bystanders to rescue third parties who are being attacked by a "pursuer." The examination of the Torah laws includes analysis of the extensive Jewish scholarly commentary on the Torah.

  • “Thou Shalt Not Kill” Pastor Andy Castrolang October 8, 2017
    “Thou Shalt Not Kill” Pastor Andy CastroLang October 8, 2017 Scripture (NRSV): Exodus 20:13 From the New Revised Standard Version: You shall not commit murder. From the King James Bible: Thou shalt not kill. From the Christian Standard Bible: Do not murder. From the Common English Bible: Do not kill. From the Complete Jewish Bible: Do not murder. From the Darby Translation: Thou shalt not kill. From the Easy to Read Bible: You must not murder anyone. From the God’s Word Translation: Never murder. From the International Standard Version: You are not to commit murder. From the Orthodox Jewish Bible: Thou shalt not murder. From the Wycliffe Bible: Thou shalt not slay. And from Young’s Literal Translation: Thou dost not murder. Sermon: I looked at 51 Bible translations of this verse in Exodus. As you have heard, there isn’t a lot of variation. It’s there, blunt and to the point: don’t kill. In case we have forgotten in our massacre prone, blood-soaked culture of senseless violence…this is the sixth commandment of the ten given to Moses on the mountain by God as the Hebrew slaves escaped into the desert, and lived out there in the wilderness. That is how the story goes in the book of Exodus: Through the help of Moses, God’s messenger, they have received their freedom, the food needed to live, the water needed to sustain them, and now they receive rules of life for free people. Not slaves any longer, they have to make decisions, set guidelines, make rules for their life together as a community.

  • You Shall Not Murder
    CHAPTER 9 Brad McKinnon YOU SHALL NOT MURDER Matthew 5:21-24 One Main Thing The baseline for how we are to treat each other is found in the ancient admonition, “You Shall Not Murder.” Introduction There are many examples of ancient law codes that prohibited murder. Early Mesopotamian civilizations, such as Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria all had them. For instance, the Sumerian Code of Ur-Nammu (ca. 2100 BC) includes a rather straightforward injunction against murder and the subsequent punishment: “If a man commits a murder, that man must be killed.”1 Developing out 1. Code of Ur-Nammu. http://www.polk.k12.ga.us/userfiles/644/ Classes/177912/Code%20of%20Ur-Nammu.pdf. — 75 — YOU SHALL NOT MURDER of a similar cultural context, it shouldn’t surprise us that ancient Israel emphasized the protection of human life as well. Going Deeper [The Sixth Commandment in Translation] The traditional rendering, “Thou shalt not kill,” has been replaced in most modern translations with something like, “You shall not murder” (Exod 20:13; NRSV). Legally, the term murder has a very specific connotation—the unlawful and usually intentional taking of a human life. There are other terms (i.e. manslaughter) that indicate unlawful killing that is unintentional or without premeditation. So, the initial question for the student of Scripture is whether or not the Hebrew word (ratsah) allows for the narrowing of the prohibition so that it would not include killing that may be intentional, but legal, such as capital punishment, killing in combat, etc. A quick perusal of other passages where the term ratsah appears indicates the term can include a meaning broader than “murder.” While in Exodus, the term occurs only in 20:13, it turns up quite often elsewhere in the Pentateuch, almost exclusively in relation to the establishment of cities of refuge.

  • The Ten Commandments
    Welcome to OUR 9th VIRTUAL GSP class! the Ten Commandments. O Almighty Lord, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy commandments; that through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. PSALM 19.7-8 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and gives light to the eyes. WHERE DO WE FIND THE TEXT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? The Ten Commandments, a set of Biblical principles relating to ethics and worship fundamental to both Judaism and Christianity, appear twice in the Old Testament at Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6- 21. The text of these two references are virtually identical. The commandments are called “the ten words,” “the ten sayings,” or “the ten matters.” In the Septuagint the “ten words” in Greek became “Decalogue.” Exodus 20: 1-7, King James Version (1611) 20 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
