“Strange Question”
Matthew 19: 17b-18a: “Jesus said, ‘If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ The man said to Jesus, ‘Which ones?’” What a question! Did Moses ever say, “I’ve got some commandments here for you, and you can keep the ones you like best”? Did God ever hint that man could be selective in his obedience? No, and no. It’s just another case of man playing “Make Your Own Religion,” a game God does not play.
