The Ten Commandments vs Baal Worship

By Vilma Ramdhar

Working in the hospital and prison ministry, I had the opportunity to meet the country's most feared criminal. He was a cult leader with forty churches all around the country. A group of us would go to the prison every Wednesday and were allowed to have church for one hour. God used me to witness to this black, Jewish person who did not believe in Jesus but knew the Old Testament very well. He proclaimed to be their King. With the help of God and my faithful pastor who provided me with scriptures and a book entitles "Concerning Spiritual Gifts" I was able to lead him to the Lord. When he went to the hospital time after time, I was there to visit and pray for him. He experienced God's healing many times even when he was dying from a stroke, enlarged heart, diabetes, and hypertension. He had a miracle and baffled the doctors and nurses. Instead of serving 20 years, he was released after 6 years. There were other prisoners whom god has used me to pray for and they were released too. They all went to church with me. He was baptized 6 months later by the Bishop of the country. We discussed the Ten Commandments and he told me that there is no one who can keep them all. Being a spirit filled Christian on fire for the Lord, I told him, "With the help of the Holy Spirit we can keep them all." This is what inspired me to study and write this book. I come from a Muslim background, my husband from a Hindu background. I see the idols these religions worship which were made by man's hand. God made man in His image but these people made and continue to make their gods, which THEY turn back and worship (Read Isaiah 44). I tried for fifteen years to finish this book to expose the devil but I never did. I think this is the allotted time. Glory to God!

The Ten Commandments

I hope that this message will be a blessing to everyone who reads it and I pray that by the time you have finished this book, you will be ready to surrender all to Jesus Christ and make a clean break from your old life.

Part One

The Ten Commandments was given to Moses by God, on Mount Sinai, for the purpose of instructing the Israelites on how they were to live until Jesus comes to deliver mankind from their sins.

The dispensation of the law lasted for 1520 years. By the law, God was able to test man’s obedience. Before the dispensation of the law, there was dispensation of promise, when God made promises and covenants to Abraham and his seed. This dispensation lasted for 430 years, and it lasted from Abraham to Moses. During the dispensation of promise, the Israelites lived such a sinful life that God had to usher in the dispensation of the law, so men could be aware of their sins and be prompted to seek inward change.

The law of Moses consisted of ordinances, judgments, and commandments given to the Israelites as rules for a conduct of living. It is very important for us to know the Ten commandments, so that we can know what sin is. 1 John 3:4 says, Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. Romans 7:7–8 says, What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. , [ i.e. intense yearning for what God would not have us to have or be] For without the law, sin was dead.

How can we be obedient to the Ten Commandments if we do not know what they are? And if we do not keep the Ten Commandments, how can we say we love God? God will punish all who break His commandments, but He will give grace and blessings to all who keep them. Those who fail to keep God’s commandments are subject to His wrath, physical death, and eternal damnation.

Galatians 3:10 says, For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1Tim 4:8 says, For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. God has promised mercy unto thousands.

So the descendants of all who love him will be blessed. God makes promises to encourage us to love, trust, and obey him.

Psalm 1:1–3 says,

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
