  10 Rules For Life

  What impact did Moses's descent from the mountain with the Ten Commandments have on the Judeo-Christian tradition? In the second part of the Exodus series, Jordan and the scholars begin by delving into the pivotal moment when God shares the ten commandments, explore the first five in great detail, and wrestle with what might be the most challenging one: Remembering the Sabbath day and keeping it holy. They lay out fundamental rules which guide the Judeo-Christian tradition. These rules provide a balance between tyranny and excess freedom, allowing for a more organized society.

  "I Have Been Convinced of the Existence of the Devil"

  What are the religious laws that God gave to the Israelites after they were freed from slavery in Egypt? Jordan and the group discuss how God wants us to stay loyal to him and not turn to other gods. He also doesn't want us to make idols or use his name in a disrespectful way. We should take one day a week to focus on him and keep it holy, setting aside our usual work. God is a jealous God and shows mercy to those who love and obey him.
