Brother, human beings have said Jesus replaced His Ten Commandments with an Eleventh Commandment when Jesus asks us to obey "all" His Eleven Commandments in the following passage where, having answered with the previous Ten Commandments, Jesus adds "one more thing you haven't done", bringing the total after Him of Eleven Commandments. The following passage tells us that Jesus has given us an Eleventh Commandment with the phrase "one thing you haven't done", after answering the question with: you know "the commandments"! Jesus' answer makes the "one thing you haven't done" an additional Eleventh Commandment. Consistent with us knowing the additional Eleventh Commandment in the new covenant of following Jesus' example. Paul says, Jesus is our model "Spirit" to follow. We are not to follow Judaism's human system of "law" that sabotaged the Ten Commandments to not remove sin in the resulting sons of Hagar, instead of God's will that we be sons of Sarah obeying His previous Ten Commandments as well as the new Eleventh Commandment.
Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher,
what should I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question,
you know the commandments (entolé): ‘You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother.’” The man replied, “
I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” When Jesus heard his answer, he said, “
There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Luke 18:18-22 NLT)
Why would you select this one instance where Jesus gives personal counsel to a specific person and disregard all of the ther places He gives personal counsel to specific individuals.
Did he tell Mary to keep the commandments to inherit eternal life? Did he tell Matha to keep the commandments inherit eternal life? How about Zacchaeus? The answer is no, no and no. In fact, Jesus never gave a pat answer to the quastion of salvation. He gave specific answers to specific individuals. Which of his disciples were told to keep the commandments in order to be saved? They were told just to follow Him. And what about the demoniac. After Jesus delivered Him from demon possession, did Jesus then invite Him to join the Pastors class to prepare for baptism. Did he instruct him to keep the Sabbath? No, He did not.
This rich young ruler had a greed problem and Jesus' aim was to get at that problem. Telling him to keep all of the commandments was a set up for that very purpose. Jesus knew the man had never kept all of the commandments and He knew that the man thought He did. Jesus revealed to that man that His commandment keeping was nothing but virtue signaling and not true wroship of God.
Of all the people Christ ministered to, how many did he stop to give a lecture to on the keeping of the sabbath. The Sabbath has become an idol to many sabatarians. Not all by any means, but even one is to many. When we concentrate on a single doctrine to the exclusion of the corss, we are in sore need of a new saviour. This is because our favorite doctrines cannot and will not save us. Only Jesus does that and He does it to the uttermost. Our muking about trying to improve on God's salvation is like taking me a crayon to a Rembrandt painting to improve it.
The new Eleventh Commandment above is found in the following passage, where to do "just as I have" is to "follow" His example by keeping a total of Eleven Commandments when Jesus adds one more to the previous Ten Commandments, saying above: "there is still one thing you haven't done".
As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “The time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory, and God will be glorified because of him. And since God receives glory because of the Son, he will give his own glory to the Son, and he will do so at once. Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can’t come where I am going. So now
I am giving you a new commandment (entolé): Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” (John 13:31-35 NLT)
United in our hope for the soon return of Jesus, Jorge
