Correction to Post#115: . . . fifty commandments . . .

Here is one place that a training course in them can be found:

Commands of Christ,
Series 1-7 Set by Institute In Basic Life Principles
(click here)

(The 49 they list does not include the 50th imperative that I mentioned, for some reason; Luke 22:36)

Luke 22:36 wasn’t a general rule for the population but it was a certain circumstance occurring at the time. The other “commands” were common sense or generic in nature. Forgiving and praying and other things weren’t exactly new concepts but He was re-enforcing them for the trials ahead.

To amplify on Luke 22:35, 36 Here Jesus is taking them on Memory Lane. Remember when I sent you two by two? Of course they did. Many great things happened on their tour and they were cordially received. Jesus was at the height of His popularity. Now things were different. Jesus was putting a more somber mood in them because they would be subject to persecution and suspicion. The sword symbolized to be “on their guard”. An hour or two later (this very night) Peter would use a sword and Jesus rebuked him.
