So; what ARE Jesus' "commandments"?

Try reading Exodus chapter 20.

Elsie: So; what are Jesus' commandments?

BipolarBob: Try reading Exodus chapter 20.

I'm not sure that's enough for the NT. Institute in Basic LIfe Principles (IBLP) says there are 49 commandments, And In Mt. 28:20 Jesus syas that the disciples and their progeny are to kee watchfully secure whatsoever He has commanded. What are the commands of Christ? (49) (Click here to see)

Actually, IBLP seems to have missed on, which is from Luke 22:36 ". . . let he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."

This kind of sword was a true sidearm, and actually two of the men at the Last Supper were armed. Later that evening Peter actually used one to cut an aggressor's ear off. To be blunt, this is equal to today's disciples being armed with an openly carried or concealed deadly weapon, even in the most intimate of worship gatherings; the purpose being to discourage attacks by harmful indeviduals, be they man or beast. This is not up for negotiation, from the Biblical standpoint.

Of course, we do have uninstructed or misinformed church members who have become infected with hoplophobia by association with irrational unbiblical secular "do-gooders."
