New Commandments
Here are some more commandments that we can ignore:
1. Heal the sick. All over the world. Not just America.
2. Free the oppressed. In Tibet, Burma, Palestine, America and all over the world. Free women too. Give them equal rights.
3. Help the poor. All over the world and in America too.
4. Protect the unborn.
5. Take care of the earth. All of God's art.
6. Have mercy on all. Including prisoners and criminals. No more torture or inhumane treatment of any kind. No capital punishment. We are all murderers and criminals. For example, most Americans killed 600,000 Iraqis over a lie.
7. Do justice to all. Including the weak and powerless. Including the victims of crime.
8. Try to be fair. Find the correct balance between mercy and justice.
9. Try to find the correct balance. In all things.
10. Be nonviolent. Violence should be the very last resort. Currently it is not and never has been. Maybe it was a last resort in World War II. But it was the harsh reparations after World War I that eventually led to World War II. Follow the examples of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Aung Sung Su Chi and Corozone Aquino.

Jesus said he came to heal the sick, set the captives free, and deliver the oppressed from bondage. These aren't new commandments. He said the greatest commandments were to Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. It is the love of Christ that heals the sick, raises the dead, sets the captives free, releases those in bondage to sin and death, brings life, hope, and joy. Nothing else has this power.
you know your bible.
God is LOVE. and jesus is God or the Son of God.
