A minority view in Christianity, known as Christian Torah-submission, holds that the Mosaic law as it is written is binding on all followers of God under the New Covenant, even for Gentiles, because it views God ’ s commands as " everlasting " (, ;, ; ) and " good " (; ; ).

The Christian view of Jesus as Messiah goes beyond such claims and is the fulfillment and union of three anointed offices ; a prophet like Moses who delivers God's commands and covenant and frees people from bondage, a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek overshadowing the Levite priesthood and a king like King David ruling over Jews, and like God ruling over the whole world and coming from the line of David.

God commands Moses to make two new tablets on which He will personally write the words that were on the first tablets.

It describes events in the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically Exodus 7: 16: " And the Lord spoke unto Moses, go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me ", in which God commands Moses to demand the release of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt.

In the letter, Paul commands church brethren, " Do not forbid to speak in tongues " ( 1 Cor 14: 39 ), while warning them that " all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner " He further expresses his wishes that those to whom he wrote " all spoke with tongues " ( 1 Cor 14: 5 ) and claims himself to speak with tongues more than any in the church at Corinth (" I thank God I speak with tongues more than you all " 1 Cor 14: 18 ).

A famous paradox called the Euthyphro dilemma essentially asks: is something right because God commands it, or does God command it because it's right?

The dilemma is however claimed to be false by some religious apologists, who claim that goodness is the very nature of God and is necessarily expressed in His commands.

“ And that Christ being Lord, and God the Son of God, and appearing formerly in power as Man, and Angel, and in the glory of fire as at the bush, so also was manifested at the judgment executed on Sodom, has been demonstrated fully by what has been said .” Then I repeated once more all that I had previously quoted from Exodus, about the vision in the bush, and the naming of Joshua ( Jesus ), and continued: “ And do not suppose, sirs, that I am speaking superfluously when I repeat these words frequently: but it is because I know that some wish to anticipate these remarks, and to say that the power sent from the Father of all which appeared to Moses, or to Abraham, or to Jacob, is called an Angel because He came to men ( for by Him the commands of the Father have been proclaimed to men ); is called Glory, because He appears in a vision sometimes that cannot be borne ; is called a Man, and a human being, because He appears arrayed in such forms as the Father pleases ; and they call Him the Word, because He carries tidings from the Father to men: but maintain that this power is indivisible and inseparable from the Father, just as they say that the light of the sun on earth is indivisible and inseparable from the sun in the heavens ; as when it sinks, the light sinks along with it ; so the Father, when He chooses, say they, causes His power to spring forth, and when He chooses, He makes it return to Himself.

Jonathan's letter came, as she knew it would, and he had accepted their child's death as another judgment from God against both Kate and himself.

In blind panic of grief she accepted Jonathan's dictum, and believed in her desperation that she had been cursed by God.

God help you if she knows where she's been ''.

Job's wife is introduced in Job 2: 9 when she suggests that Job curse God and die.

There is uncertainty about her intentions when she tells Job to curse God but it is clear that Job honors her by the way he talks about her in Chapter 31.

His “ wife ” appears to represent the people of God, for she is dressed in the “ righteous acts of the saints .” As the marriage takes place, there is a great celebration in heaven which involves a " great multitude.

At the time, she said only that God did it.

After this visit, in which she was deemed sufficiently orthodox, she began traveling with her followers throughout northern and central Italy advocating reform of the clergy and the launch of a new crusade and advising people that repentance and renewal could be done through " the total love for God.

Some historians have called her lucky ; she believed that God was protecting her.

Can God be mocked, ever, in the long run??

During the decade that followed, the common man, as that piece put it, grew uncomfortable as the Voice of God and fled from behind Saint Woodrow ( Wilson ) only to learn from Science, to his shocked relief that after all there was no God he had to speak for and that he was just an animal anyhow -- that there was a chemical formula for him, and that too much couldn't be expected of him.

For him to divorce God and wife simultaneously would be bad publicity.

We want the past forgiven, but at the same time we must be willing for God to direct the future.

Geneva, instead of becoming the City of God, as John had dreamed, had in the two years since he had been there, continued to be a godless place where all manner of vice flourished.

These would be two human beings, whom God had chosen.

But perhaps this was a part of the eternal plan, that man's ambition when linked with God would be a driving, indefatigable force for good in the world.

The next traditional step then was to accept it as the authoritative textbook of the Christian faith just as one would accept a treatise on any earthly `` science '', and I submitted to its conditions according to Christ's invitation and promise that, `` If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself '' ( John 7: 17 ).

Because your soul was made to be filled with God Himself, not religious functions `` about '' Him.

If God be for us, who can be against us??

Care must be taken neither to confuse unity with uniformity nor God with our parochial ideas about him, but with these two qualifications, the statement stands.
