Why does the natural man hate the Ten Commandments of Yahweh?

 

Ever wonder why the natural man and women hate the ten commandments and does not want to see it in writing, hear it being spoken, or learn from it as it is being taught?

The ten commandments is not a burden for the human race. Yahweh's laws are not a burden to man. The problem is that man is spiritually dead. 

The Ten Commandments is disliked because it condemns the things humans like to do and commands them to do the things they hate to do. There are 10 commandments that Moses wrote about in Yahweh's Torah.

These 10 were expanded by the Rabbis to 613 commandments to assist man toward a healthy life in obedience to Yahweh's instructions. Follow me in this blog and put on your thinking cap and see how mans resistance to Yahweh's Torah leads him to his own destruction.


From the book of SH'MOT (EXODUS) Chapter 20:1-17



א  First Commandment: To have faith in God's existence, and that He is eternal and has complete and unfettered power.
And what is in the mind of man concerning this first commandment. The only type of faith man has is in himself, he has no faith in other's or anything else, or perhaps he has no faith at all. He does  not believe that God exist and that He is eternal with unfettered power. 
I am Adonai your God. who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the abode of slavery.

ב  Second Commandment: Prohibition of Idolatry.
Man has always believed in idols, he has and still does make them and posses them, and he still worships them. In any and all forms that can be conceivably worshiped.
I am Adonai your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but displaying grace to the thousandth generation of those who love me and obey my mitzvot.

ג  Third Commandment: Prohibition of vain oaths.
In mans every day use of his language he disgraces God's name by using it for no valid purpose. What does he do when he invokes the name of God. He swears, curses, and using the name of the most high by making unnecessary expressions to accentuate some sort of feelings usually evil or vain deceit.
You are not to use lightly the name of Adonai your God, because Adonai will not leave unpunished someone who uses His name lightly. 

ד   Fourth Commandment:  The Sabbath.
Man has decided that he will worship God in his own way. He has proclaimed Sunday and other week days as the Sabbath. Gods appointed Sabbath day is inconvenient and therefore man has decided to change Gods appointed day to mans appointed day. This of course is mans denial that Yahweh is the Creator of the universe,
Remember the day, Shabbat, to set it apart for God, "You have six days to labor and do all your work. but the seventh day is a Shabbat for Adonai your God, On it, you are not to do any kind of work-not you, your son or your daughter, not your male or female slave, not your livestock, and not the foreigner staying with you inside the gates of your property. For in six days, Adonai made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; but on the seventh day He rested. This is why Adonai blessed the day, Shabbat, and separated it for Himself.

ה  Fifth Commandment:  Honoring parents.
It is no secret that honoring parents has become very difficult in today's society. Parents are for the most part disrespected, rebelled against and ignored. To the extreme side many of our children are disobeying this commandment, some have even elected to commit violence toward their parents which can and often do lead to loss of life. This difference in attitude of our children of today may well be the cause of the lost of their life at such an early age. Does it seem like our children are living a long life?
Honor your Father and Mother, so that you may live long in the land which Adonai your God is giving you.

Sixth Commandment: Prohibition against murder.
Men and women have been killing each other for centuries. Husband and Wives have been killing each other, adults kill children, children kill adults, children kill children, all of this killing means that mankind has lost its faith or has no faith in the Creator or does not believe in God as the sustainer of the human race.Therefor life has no meaning.
Do not Murder.

Seventh Commandment: Prohibition against adultery.
Husbands cheating on their wives and wives cheating on their husbands. People who betray the marital relationship can be expected to betray God. As the meaning of marriage continue to deteriorate in our society we can see many types of marriages with no life commitment, we can also see a great deal of selfishness. Each person wants what they want and if they do not get it they will become adulterers. Faithfulness is what is missing in adulterous relationships.
Do not Commit adultery.


 Eighth Commandment: Prohibition against kidnapping
Mankind continues to be a thief. His stealing can allude to many forms of behavior that are morally related to thievery. From stealing objects, things of value and the thief of persons.
Do not Steal.

Ninth Commandment: Prohibition against bearing false witness.
Man continues to give false testimony; in court, in gossip and in slander. People passing negative judgement on hearsay, using their personal opinions as fact, concealing the truth and believing the lie. Establishing what is wrong to be good, and what is good as evil. Man has become very good at telling a lie.
Do not give false evidence against your neighbor.

 Tenth Commandment: Prohibition against coveting.
Man has not changed, he is still doing the very things that God has forbidden him to do. He is forbidden to make gain through violence. Unjust gain and profit was also forbidden. Man is still lusting and desirous for the things they want.
Do not covet your neighbor's house; do not covet your neighbor's wife, his male or female slave, his ox, his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.


The above ten Commandments is rejected by the human race because the human mind is in rebellion and practices its own ten commandments.

1. Constantly practice Idolatry         
2. Continuously commits Adultery 
3. Loves to commit Murder
4. Loves to steal
5. Loves to lie
6. Refuses to accept one God (His Creator)
7. Full of Envy
8. Refuses to rest on the Sabbath Day
9. Refuses to show respect for God's name
10. Has no honor

This is why man rejects the things of God. He is spiritually discern.

So now let us end this blog by reminding the reader that faith without works is dead.

Galatians 5:6....For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

James 2:17....In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

James 2:20....You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?

Your faith in Yeshua HaMachiach (Jesus) is your salvation. Your love for the Messiah will manifest itself by your keeping His commandments.

1 John 5:3....In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.
