28 One of the teachers of the Law came… and asked Him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” 29 “The most important one,” answered Y’shua, “is this: Hear, O Isra’el, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” MARK 12
38 This is the first and greatest commandment. MATTHEW 22
“This is the first commandment” means Love God with all your heart is Commandment No. 1. But we won’t find it written in the Ten-C. Why? Because it has been omitted. Open your Bible to Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:1-21. Did you notice the heading? It says “Ten Commandments”. Yet there are only Nine. God gave to the prophet Moses Ten but, unknown to most men, only Nine have been listed.
| Scripture Verse | Commandment | ||
| Deuteronomy | Exodus | ||
| No. 01 | Love God and neighbor. | ||
| 5:7-10 | 20:3-6 | No. 02 | No idolatry. |
| 5:11 | 20:7 | No. 03 | Do not misuse the name of God. |
| 5:12-15 | 20:8-11 | No. 04 | Observe the Sabbath. |
| 5:16 | 20:12 | No. 05 | Honor your parents. |
| 5:17 | 20:13 | No. 06 | Do not commit murder. |
| 5:18 | 20:14 | No. 07 | Do not commit adultery. |
| 5:19 | 20:15 | No. 08 | Do not steal. |
| 5:20 | 20:16 | No. 09 | No false testimony. |
| 5:21 | 20:17 | No. 10 | Do not covet. |
The Great Omission created a spiritual blind spot among men. What followed was legalism (that means obedience of the Law with the element of LOVE missing in it). The Jews, for example, have become rigidly strict in their obedience of the Law and quick to stone the lawbreakers to death.
Many clergymen in our present time would not correct the omission, insisting that the Scripture is inerrant and nothing can be wrong with it. Lucifer loves it!
8 How can you say, “We are wise; the Lord’s Law is with us” when in fact the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? JEREMIAH 8
Lucifer is anti-LOVE. He has made the whole world believe the LOVE Commandment is never a part of the Ten-C. Actually the commandment was not deleted; it has been moved to another chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy. What was deleted is a phrase in the commandment: and with all your mind. Consistent with his mind-centric ploy, Lucifer did it so that whoever finds the “lost” commandment gets to find and believe a corrupted copy!
5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. DEUTERONOMY 6
Point to Ponder: Has it ever occurred to you that he who violates the Love Commandment will get to share the same fate that awaits murderers, plunderers and adulterers? Ignorance of the Scripture is no excuse.
17 If a person sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though he does not know it, he is guilty and will be held responsible. LEVITICUS 5
