Does And Should God Break His Commandments?

Does and should God break His commandments? There are inconsistencies in scripture that indicate that God is not subject to His own laws and commandments.If, on earth as it is in heaven is to have meaning, and if God is to be our greatest example, we should remember that any human law maker is subject to his laws yet many think that God has more of a, do as I say and not as I do, type of morality. This to me would be an immoral and hypocritical position and I cannot see God taking it. If God is exempt from His own laws then, on earth as in heaven, can never come to pass.As I look at the list of commandments, I see where God and or Jesus may indeed have broken some of the commandments.The 1st You shall have no other gods before me.It appears the Jesus broke this commandment by placing himself above God the Father, ----only through me. That is why we are told that if we do not believe in Jesus, we are doomed to hell. This basically usurps the function once held by the Father.The 2nd You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or 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; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.God Himself carved a set of commandments for Moses and thus breaks the commandment.The 3rd 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.Pass.The 4th 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: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.Jesus was accused of working and preaching on the Sabbath.http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/?searc...;searchtype=allThe 5th Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.Jesus seems again to place Himself ahead or above the Father which arguably shows a lack of respect. The 6th You shall not murder.God, in a large number of places in the O T, either kills or orders the killing of many and in the cases of children and babies, these can arguably be called murder.The 7th You shall not commit adultery. God is said to use Mary, another man’s woman, to reproduce what some would call a bastard son as it was born out of wedlock.Tee 8th You shall not steal.Pass.The 9th You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.If lie is implied, we would see again a number of times where we can arguably say that God lied. The first would be in Eden to Adam and Eve who were told they could eat of the tree of life and later, God rescinded this statement and prevented that possibility. Thus making His statement a lie. It is also said by theists that god gave us our free will and He is also shown as rescinding this gift every time He killed or had someone killed. They would obviously had the free will choice to live and not die yet this free will decision was ignored by God.10th You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.God seems to break this one as well when He desired Mary as the vessel for His reproductive purposes. He also seems to covet our love honor and adoration quite strongly as, if it is denied, then those who do not, end in eternal hell.These clearly show a poor record, 2 out of 10, for God in keeping His own commandment and laws. I have likely been marking in a stricter way than the average theist.Should God be expected to keep the commandments?If we can get past these then we can tackle the question of whether or not man can hold to the 10 commandments. I think we can actually do better than God.RegardsDL

My mission is to end literalism and fundamentalism.My only tool is debate and you will note how some of those of that ilk here already run away and settle for insults hurled while they hide.It is my view that all literalists and fundamentals hurt all of us who are Religionists.They all hurt their parent religions and everyone else who has a belief. They make us all into laughing stocks and should rethink their position. There is a God but not the God of talking animals, genocidal floods and retribution. Belief in fantasy is evil.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HKHaClUCw4...&playnext=1They also do much harm to their own.African witches and Jesushttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlRG9gXriVI...feature=relatedJesus Camp 1of 9http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOqGhcwwE1s-------------------------

Some like the following know that literalists have retarded man's spiritual progress for many years.We share the same religious goals.

You don't seem to be very successful at it.All I seem to see is that you get in fights with people but I haven't seen anyone actually change their viewpoint because of your ramblings.
