Have you ever wondered how people can be transformed? Take Halloween for example. Look at every social media and you see all shapes and sizes of transformed folks into witches, goblins, ghosts, politicians, current movie characters, etc. It is amazing to me how mature grown ups get into the action just as much as their children or grand children. Just how many costumes are there? The mind boggles!
By the way we celebrate Halloween I thought October 31st but now if the weather is bad municipalities have wised up to change the day to a more convenient time. I wonder if that is a market strategy? By the way, what happened on October 31st, 1517?
Now, the day after our traditional fun / crazy time of Halloween, on November 1st is “All Saints Day”. What’s that all about?
This brings me to ask the question how many commandments are there and does anyone know them? The answer can be found in Exodus 20 but with all the falseness of Moses times (sort of like how we are today with Halloween) even God’s commandments had to be repeated in Deuteronomy 5. But then just how many are they? 10 or 12? Look at Mark 12 starting at verse 28. Did Jesus add 2 more commandments or was his the glue that binds the original 10 together.
Listen to my excerpt if you have time. It is about 2 minutes of audio.
