Why are the Beatitudes more difficult to follow then the Ten Commandments?
Basically, because the 10 commandments were about what you did, your physical actions, but the Beattitudes are a much higher and more difficult level: they are not just about what you do, not even what you say, but about what you think. ( Wrong thoughts precede wrong actions, and our thoughts can only be brought under control with Jesus Christ. )
How is morality different from values and religion?
Morality is the decision of whether things are "right", whether they cause undue harm for an insufficient purpose; values are along the same lines but involve more of a "what do I think is more important"; religion is an organised system of belief centred around faith in and obedience to a god or gods, which may or may not involve following a code of morality or values as part of everyday life, e.g. Christian commandments/beattitudes, Islamic five pillars of faith, Buddhist eightfold path.
Why can't The Bible be changed?
The bible is canonized, that is, the early church people got together in committees like the Nicene Council, and determined through God which parts of ancient scrolls should be included in the Holy Bible, and which should not be. The result is an accepted Holy Bible that is unchangeable and still be called a Holy Bible. Granted, there are various 'versions' of the Holy Bible, but they include that same Books, Chapters, and Verses, but with different translations. For example, one of the Beattitudes says that the 'meek shall inherit the Earth'. A more correct translation might say that the 'unpretentious' shall inherit the Earth, or the 'patient and gentle' shall inherit the Earth.
In what way do Christian's believe you should live?
In simple terms, live a good life. From the moment you start your day make every effort to do the right things and encourage others to do the same. Help those in need and veer away from immoral and destructive bahaviour. Give yourself, whenever possible a few minutes to reflect and collect your thoughts. Many people find solace in reading the Beattitudes in the book of Psalms. Maybe volunteering your time to a worthy cause will help to connect to others. Take care of the elderly and disabled and feed those who are hungry. Be true to those things that you believe to be good not only for you but for others as well. By the time you are ready to lay down again, your sense of accomplishment will ease you into a more comfortable rest. This will not only make your day a good one but it wil make His day as well.
What is another name for the Sermon on the Mount?
The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5-7) is very similar to the Sermon on the Plain, found in Luke 6:17-49. The sayings attributed to Jesus in both sermons are believed to have been sourced by both authors from the hypothetical 'Q' document. So, although there are important differences in the two narratives, they come from the same source and can be regarded as the same sermon.
Who did jesus give the beatitudes to?
The "Beattitudes" are found in Matthew chapter 5. We can see in verses 1 and 2 who was listening when Jesus spoke these famous words: "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,..." (Read also Matthew 8:1, the first verse directly after Jesus finishes speaking) So there were great multitudes of people, including Jesus' disciples, who were listening when Jesus was speaking. But the "Beattitudes" were not GIVEN TO or FOR everyone. They are for the "children of the kingdom". Jesus, being the Jewish Messiah, had offered to the children of Israel the long awaited kingdom that had been prophesied throughout the Old Testament. But when the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah (according to God's plan), Jesus was able to be crucified to pay for the sins of the world. Now all people, Jew or Gentile (non-Jew, also called Greek), can accept the atonement of Jesus' death on the cross as payment for their sin. Once a person has accepted Christ as their Savior, they are now a child of God, and a child of the future kingdom that Jesus Christ will set up one day. John 1:11-12 "He came unto his own (the Jews), and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Read also Ephesians 1:4-5, and Romans 10:9-13.
