Bonus Case Study and Question for Command #1

Bonus Case Study and Question for Command #1

Consider this a "deleted scene" from the Ten Commandment Study Guide we are passing out tomorrow for our look at the First Command ...

BONUS CASE STUDY
A friend of yours says he heard his college professor say that this command proves that Moses believed that other gods existed and Moses taught that YHWH was just the best god for the Israelites. He says that this shows the religion of the bible has evolved over time and should not be taken too seriously because it the obvious product of human imagination.

What would you say to this friend about what his proff said?
What specific passages would you turn to?
Do you think this would require some extra research to really give a solid answer?



BONUS QUESTION
Q: In regards to the other commandments, what will happen unless we first commit ourselves to God alone?

Example Answer: Our hearts will be drawn away from the righteousness the Ten Commandments decree.
