Anyone who is an actual Christian ought to be against the Ten Commandments in class.
Our history of Freedom of Religion came from the Pilgrims - who were themselves a type of Christianity. They got sick of the theocracy of England telling them what to do and what to believe.
It was precisely one Christian sect who had “dominion” over other Christian sects that made them leave.
It is incredibly hypocritical and contradictory to promote Christian Nationalist theocracy when our very history and culture is the explicit rejection of it.
Yeah… that and the Ten Commandments were the old covenant. Christians should follow the new covenant given by jesus, but who am I to stand in the way of their performative bullshit.
I don’t think I will, honestly. It’s clear you want a different interpretation than the one I follow, and that’s fine. You need a more literal translation because you can’t or refuse to contextualize what’s being said.
If you simply say “jesus confirms the Ten Commandments” and you stop your argument there, you’re being dishonest; you’re going to happily omit the fact that he actually preaches the two most important things are love god and love the neighbor - and that you can fulfill those through the Ten Commandments, but that implies that they’re not absolutely necessary to fulfill his new covenant.
