Commandments and Laws

Our very first commandment that GOD gave to all of us is to have NO other gods before Him. In review of Exodus, Chapter 20, Verse 3; GOD tells us this. "You shall have no other gods before me." Now what does this mean exactly. Lets review a little biblical history. You will need to read the book of Exodus to get the whole historical view but in Chapter 32 of Exodus we find because Moses was gone so long the people of Israel went to his brother Aaron and asked Aaron to make them gods who will go before us. Aaron had the people bring him their gold and he cast them an idol "a golden calf" - which is a physical, material object. Not only were the Israelites breaking the first commandment but also the second commandment. Unfortunately, even that long ago, there were "false gods", and "idols", that people worshiped. Many of the religions today are from these very own false gods worshiped so long ago. Have you truly studied the religions and where they originated from and why? Have you compared these religions with the one true GOD of Abraham in your search for faith, or are you blindly following others? Lets look at some of these religions, and though no offense is meant to any who are of a different religion, perhaps this will help you in your search for faith in the one true GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Hinduism and Brahmanism: originated in northern India in about 950 BC. They consider cows as sacred, as they do rivers. Most believe in reincarnation. They do not believe in killing anything, not even a bug. They are vegetarians as believe eating meat leads to cannabalism. Their chief god is: Brahma (the creator), whereas, Vishnu (is the preserver) and Siva (is the destroyer of evil) There are cults within Hinduism known as, the cult of Vishnu and the cult of Shiva and they believe that the universe is populated by a multitude of gods. The horned god and phallic worship of the Indus Valley civilization was the forerunner of the now worship of Shiva. Shiva worship is known to have been around as early as 500 to 200 BC. Vishnu is regarded as the supreme god and all other gods are secondary manifestations. Krishna (also of the Hindu religion) is the supreme personal god and they practise a very ascetic lifestyle, vegetarianism and devotion to the Hindu god Krishna as attaining enlightment spiritually. Some websites for you to research the Hinduism religion are listed below:

There are other religions like: Taoism, Animalism,Confucianism, Buddhism...they all, though some aspects of the religion itself seem harmless, therein, lies the deception that Satan has handed out. For there can only be one true GOD, it is the GOD of Abraham, not the god of Vishnu, Shakti, Shiva, Buddha, or Baal, or any of the others.Some other websites to review: http://www.shivashakti.com/ and http://www.sanatansociety.org/hindu_gods_and_goddesses/shakti.htm

Wont you take the time to really study where the true GOD of Abraham is? Is HE a myth, or as our Bible states, the one and only GOD we are to worship? I pray you find the one true GOD of Abraham and that your faith grows.
