Christian perspective: Don't put Ten Commandments in Idaho classrooms
Idaho is debating whether to place the Ten Commandments in school classrooms. We are all familiar with the Ten Commandments. They are an important part of several major religions. These Commandments were etched into stone tablets thousands of years ago. In all probability, they were never displayed publicly. Jewish tradition required that they be put in a chest, called the Ark of the Covenant. The original tablets would have never been seen in classrooms, courtrooms, the halls of government or even on the walls of the temple. Instead, they were hidden away in the Holy of Holies, the most hidden and sacred part of the temple. One might think that placing these commandments in school classrooms would help our children learn God's law, but it is just the opposite. By doing so, we are only abdicating our responsibilities. Wise pastors are heard to say that the problem isn't that there is not prayer in our schools, but rather that there is not prayer in our homes. So too with the truth of God's Commandments. The responsibility lies with us, the parents. Do we really want anyone else teaching morality to our children? Of course, we can only teach what we know. This is why Moses told the people to write the Commandments on the doorpost of their houses and on their gates, and to bind the law as a sign on their hand and between their eyes. He was reminding the people that the law was to be written on their hearts, both to inform how they think and guide what they do. In other words, it was not about their neighbor. Each person knew that they were personally called to obedience to God. There is another important reason why posting the Ten Commandments falls short. Namely, they deal with what we should not do. In this way they are not unique. Many ancient civilizations had similar moral codes. Jesus took the law to a new, higher level. He made most laws a matter of our heart and our intentions. This changed everything. No longer was the focus on what we must not do. Jesus emphasized that the foremost principle is to 'love your neighbor as yourself.' This became known as the 'Royal Law' among his disciples. And while there is a temptation to pick and choose who our neighbor is, Jesus doesn't give us this option. In his parable of the good Samaritan, Jesus teaches that loving your neighbor is meeting the needs of anyone around you. This is true even if they are different than you. Loving our neighbor is love in action. It is this 'action' that reveals a transformed heart and genuine love. Repeatedly, the teachings of Jesus encourage us to rise above legalistic obedience to the Ten Commandments. For example, while the commandment says, 'Thou shall have no God's before me,' Jesus tells us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. We express this love by not only loving him but obeying his commandment to: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' This is our highest calling. If we aspire to be a Christian nation, we should follow the teachings of Jesus. For when we love our neighbor, we go beyond the laws of the Ten Commandments. When Jesus' words are written on the hearts of Christians, men and women will become living monuments and take God's love and righteousness into every classroom, business, government office and church across the nation. Few will ignore those who are willing to love their neighbor as themselves. Our children will learn from our example that their is a higher love, one that calls for everyone to follow Jesus' teachings. There is nothing more important than this. The one who helps his neighbor, not caring about their religion, ethnicity, nation or color of their skin is fulfilling the highest law. Only this will change the world. John Watson was a 35-year local golf professional, now retired. Larry Lilly has been a professional landscaper and longtime Bible teacher, also now retired. Together they have written and published the book, 'Roadblocks to God; A Book of Heresy.'

Gold treasure with link to Ark of the Covenant stuns scientists: ‘Everyone marveled at the special find'
In a shocking archaeological discovery, an ancient gold ring has been unearthed at the City of David — the ancient heart of Jerusalem. The small gold ring, adorned with a red gemstone, is believed to date back roughly 2,300 years. The finding was made at the Givati Parking Lot during excavations led by the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University, funded by the Elad Association, within the Jerusalem Walls National Park. Advertisement 3 A small, gold ring, adorned with a red gemstone, was recently unearthed at the Givati Parking Lot during excavations. Facebook/Israel Antiquities Authority It was found steps away from the Temple of Jerusalem, the last place the Ark of the Covenant, which held the Ten Commandments, is believed to have been located. A researcher, who was sifting soil in the area, pulled the gold ring — the second found in the area in less than a year — out of the dirt. Advertisement 'At first, he was sure it must be a modern item dropped by one of our excavators, but when I examined the ring, I immediately assessed it as something ancient. We called over the archaeologists, everyone gathered around us and marveled at the special find; It was very exciting,' Rivka Lengler, a member of the excavation team, recounted in a statement. The jewelry likely belonged to a young girl from the Second Temple period, which includes the Early Hellenistic period. 3 The piece is the second found in the area in less than a year. Facebook/Israel Antiquities Authority The expert quickly noticed the similarities between the newest find and the ring that was collected just a few months before. Advertisement The rings were uncovered in the foundation layer of a grand structure, which also yielded an array of other jewelry, including bronze earrings, a gold earring with an animal motif, and a decorated gold bead. 'This is the first time that we have found in Jerusalem such a large assemblage of gold jewelry from that period,' said excavation manager Efrat Bocher. 3 The discovery was made within the Jerusalem Walls National Park. Facebook/Israel Antiquities Authority 'This displayed wealth is very rare in any archaeological layer, and it attests to the wealth of Jerusalem and the high standard of living of the city's residents during this period.' Advertisement Archaeologists believe the jewelry was part of a tradition marking the transition from childhood to adulthood, where young women who were engaged to be married buried childhood items — like jewelry — to signify a life change. Eli Escusido, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, added, 'The discovery of these rings is a testament to Jerusalem's historical wealth and significance. This is 'Jerusalem of Gold' in its truest, most tangible form — an enduring legacy uncovered beneath our very feet.' Researchers hope the dig helps to better understand the connection between the neighborhood and the temple, 'but at this stage, we have no clear way of understanding the nature of that relationship,' Prof. Yuval Gadot from Tel Aviv University, the excavation director, told the Times of Israel. 'In order to understand more about Jerusalem's identity in the Hellenistic period, we are going to need more discoveries and research.' Earlier this year, a religious shrine sealed up by the ancestors of Jesus — and preserved for nearly 3,000 years — was discovered at the City of David.
