The Apology Section

Here on this page I would like to apologize for some of the references I used, not for the content but for their length.

My reasoning is some of the length of the reference material is not to say well, people in general are not very bright. The reasoning that I do this is to try and show (even though it may seem boring; is to help us from taking things for granted). We often view words from a convenient one-sided view of the words from our English language they can cover a vast spectrum of nuances.

The Hebrew and Greek most always uses words that specifically show relationships of one tense or another in their relating with the subject matter, so they use words that describe the tenses of the word.

Such as the word saw:

1. Saw--to look at

2. Saw--to perceive

3. Saw—to evaluate

4. Saw—to imagine of: as in mind

5. Saw—to; as to judge

The translation in English simply became saw (see); to all of these words’ tenses. Even in though English, the tenses are listed; we just (see) saw like looking at.

This is why I have referenced the meaning of words to show there is a deeper meaning to some of the subject matter being read.

Thank You for Your Patients

So! I hope you will forgive me for going deep (well as deep as I know how to go). It just seemed right to be able to investigate subject matter for all it has to say.

I try hard not to be lazy; but even I am limited in understanding fully. But one day all will know fully when Christ Jesus returns.

Whatever you find that you feel is in error, please exhaust your ability to determine your final judgement on all I have written.

Take no one person’s view of subject matter only on their word. This is only possible in God’s word.

The Author of This Book: Gregory L Booth

All the contents of this book; and all of the reflective meaning and purpose of this work are: to challenge the minds of those humans that are seeking truth and righteousness. The scripture references are their own as they are the words of God. The application; of those scriptures in this work are the reflections of what I believe them to mean; however, they hold all their own authority in the context which they were borrowed.

Note:

Gregory L Booth believes these are a very small part of the Creator God’s instruction for a prosperous life; which is available for salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

THE STORY BEGINS

And God spake all these words saying I am the Lord thy God

The Ten Commandments

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image >

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain >

4. "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.:

5. Honour thy father and thy mother >

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

10. Thou shalt not covet

1. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. (Reference Exodus 20:3)

As gods go there is only one God and no other beside him. He it is that fashioned all things including man himself.

2. 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: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Reference Exodus 20:4-6)

All gods of the people are man-made. They make them with their own hands and fingers; do these gods of man do him any good; they profit not. They cannot save them at any time of trouble. Even when man may call on these gods in heaven and earth, they are not real. The peoples of the earth; they cannot understand those who serve the God who created all things. Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem who now serve the creator God and Lord of heaven and earth they themselves have turned from God and served these dumb idols from time to time; even though these gods cannot save them. Make no graven images.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Reference Exodus 20:7

A name which is above all names, Moses was given God’s name by God’s own breath and it was I AM THAT I AM. God told Moses to tell the people I AM hath sent me. This is God-I AM. God showed through Moses the authority of his name: as it was demonstrated when he brought the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob out of Egypt. God secured the release of his children by demonstrating his authority in using the ten plagues which he brought upon Egypt. (Reference for AM-- W6 in the back of the book.)

In the beginning God created man in his own image and likeness and gave them free will that they may choose him or reject him.

The man God created rejected him; yet God’s authority cannot be revoked it remains over all creation.

This rejection of God’s name and Lordship over all creation is a useless attempt to deny that God exists. This is the embracing of evil by that which God created.

These only separate man from the presence of God. God is still the almighty authority which maintains all the power and righteous judgement that brought the children out of Egypt.

Take God’s name in vain and you separate yourself from God. His New Testament name is Jesus for he walked among us in the flesh; dying for our sins; he became the way the truth and the life. This is the only way to come before the Father in heaven, by Jesus’s name only.

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Reference Exodus 20:8)

The Sabbath is the day God declared He had finished all he had created and rested this is the declaration of an intermission, which specifically is the Sabbath day. A time to celebrate, a time you rest from your work. And it is being willing to suffer lacking in increase to your bounty. This is God’s assignment of authority as to a time of equipping those He sanctifies; furnishing them with all that is needed. This includes never leaving man by being faithful to keep them who He created. This means; when man is no longer a sinner; this will cause God to rest from His work in bringing man into holiness. For even in one out of seven days; man failed in obedience too God’s instruction. Man was in willfulness and about his own business. Therefore, this is the Sabbath when man acknowledges his sins and repents for the last time; and rests forever in the presence of God, as Adam and Eve knew God in the Garden of Eden. Do not weep for those that repent not; they have had their choice validated.

5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Reference Exodus 20:12)

Come abounding with glory; to prevail in promoting the boasting of thy father who is the chief and first being of your existence; and your mother which bonds the family being as a chief of your existence

6. Thou shalt not kill. (Reference Exodus 20:13)

Not to be a manslayer; especially a murderer.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. (Reference Exodus 20:14)

This is the abandonment of one’s commitment and principals in faith; by abandoning their cause or party, as well as a woman or man in wedlock.

8. Thou shalt not steal. (Exodus 20:15)

Do not be a thief by carrying away anything secretly or by deception; in getting anything.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. (Reference Exodus 20:16)

Not to respond by beginning to testify to the account shamefully by implication of a falsehood; being a liar in your testimony of record.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man servant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s. (Reference Exodus 20:17)

Lust not; by desire; in delighting in all things of beauty which are precious and pleasant.

These definitions of the Ten Commandments are mine as I have come to understand the word in my studies. They may not agree with your understanding of the meaning in the same way as you look at the scripture; but for the present (the time of this writing) this is how I see it. So, get into the word and study to show what God’s word says to you.

I have chosen to forward this book in this manner because most people today seem to have an indifference to what they are engaged in; In their studies they are willing to take any suggestion as to the meaning of the material they consume. I hope that the individual will honestly seek with their own heart the truth of what they seek. Do not forsake history and the testimonies of those that have studied before you on these same subjects. Take no one person’s testimony on any subject until you have exhausted every avenue of research available. We all can at times be led astray by people seeking to promote something that may gain them a little notoriety or power.

I have in no way tried to deceive anyone in the writing of this book, nor do I suggest that I might have laid a trap for anyone that would be a play on words suggesting some covert understanding of what I have written. This is how I see it at this time. I am sure of what I have written to be accurate. However, should you find some error please let it be known?

There are references to the commandments in the back of the book. They are listed by the number of the commandment they represent.

The following words for the pictures which follow are my narrative of what Adam and Eve may have discussed; this is fictional. There will be wording of the subject matter I am dealing with; there will be reference to the subject matter, and these will be chapter and verse in the King James version of the bible. There may be quoting of full verses in the King James version. The wording of the discussion of Adam and Eve will be in the italicized text and the subject matter will be underlined. It is my intention to focus on the subject matter which the bible deals with.

This story begins in the Garden of Eden where man disobeyed Gods command to not eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Then being put out of the Garden of Eden. (Reference is: Ge 3:22-23)

THE STORY BEGINS

File:Adamandevesin.jpg

God was truthful when He instructed us about the tree in the midst of the garden. The tree of knowledge was one thing that should never have happened. Now we will never be able to be in his presence again. Adam do you think we can survive out here, you know what I mean. Without God to give us the things we have gotten used to having. Eve: I hate to tell you this, but I am afraid we are going to have a hard time of things from now on. We are going to have to find ways of feeding ourselves in this land which is opposed to God’s provision.(reference: ( Ge 2:17: Ge 3:3; 3:17-19: 3:23)

God gave us such a blessed life, in the garden. Now finding ways to live in this world is almost too much to bear. Let us find a source of food, and then find a place we can live.

"Adam is there a way to get back into the garden. If we look around some maybe, we can find another way into the garden so that we can be with God again. Well it is worth a try, but God was definite about us not being in his presence anymore, we can look but it is not too likely." (Ge 3:24)

Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794–1872)

Eve we have been all around the garden, but Gods blocked the way. Adam what are we going to do? Eve God gave us these skins to wear. He had to shed blood to get them; I believe that was so he could look in on us from time to time to see how we are doing. It took a life of blood so he could look on us. (Ge 3:21: Ge 3;24; Le 17:11; 1Jn 1:7; He 9:22)

Adam lamenting, Time will tell what God will have for us. God loved us so much when we were in the garden. It just seems to me that God has a plan somehow to be able to help us regain our relationship with him. Let us start preparing, for this life we are heading for.

"Adam you are working too long in this hot sun. You had better rest for a while. Eve there’s only so much day light; I must do what I can while the light is good. Adam you work so much since we have been blessed with two children, you are going to be an old man before your time." (Ge 3:19; Ge 4:1-2; Jn11:9; Jn 12:35-36; 1Jn
