Man’s Laws in the Bible vs God's 10 Laws

The Bible contains numerous evil man's laws that were given to guide the moral and social conduct of the Israelites that were pure evil and not from God. These laws reflect the evil cultural and religious context of ancient times.

Here are some of man's laws from the Bible:

Exodus 35:2
"Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death."


Deuteronomy 23:2
"A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD
; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD."


Leviticus 20:9
"For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death."


Leviticus 20:10
“If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death."


Leviticus 20:11
"If a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death."


Leviticus 20:12
"If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death."


Leviticus 20:13
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, they shall surely be put to death."


Leviticus 20:16
"If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death."


Leviticus 20:27
"A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones."


Man's laws in the Bible provide a window into the evil framework of ancient Israelite society. 


Jeremiah 8:8 “How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.

God Only Gave Us 10 Laws: All Other Laws are Mans

Ten Commandments as presented in the Bible, specifically from Exodus 20:1-17:

  1. You shall have no other gods before Me.

  2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

  3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

  4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work.

  5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

  6. You shall not murder.

  7. You shall not commit adultery.

  8. You shall not steal.

  9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

  10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.

 

These commandments serve as foundational principles for ethical behavior and religious worship.
