Should breaking a commandment (God's law) be considered a crime? Namely the most important commandment; thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, thy mind and thy soul; since most of man's laws are derived directly from Gods commandments. Also, if you don't love God, should you be given the freedoms He so graciously bestows upon us?
Are we talking the original ten commandments for the hebrews? Or the 6 commandments spoken by jesus? So I know how to respond better
There is no difference. Jesus simply condensed the original 10 commandments given to Moses, into 2. See Matthew 22:37-40 for Jesus' summation of the commandments.
In my personal knowledge (nothing impressive) the only rule I know that is important to live by is to not steal. This is natural/moral law summed up into it's finest point "do not steal"
The rules laid for the hebrews thousands of years ago, the covenant made between God and moses for gods protection...it hard to imagine the all forgiving father, full of unconditional love, would condemn a good man for not reciprocating that passion. Seems like a waste of jesus self sacrifice in my opinion. Some priests molest children but claim to love God. Some good men protect children and never pray a day in their life.
