wallace, in the end each person's heart will be judged individually by the Creator. We know already that "if any man says he has not sinned, he is a liar already, and the truth is not in him." and "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". Christians and heathen alike have many diverse understandings on multitudes of individual issues; what's right, what's wrong, etc. The bottom line is the quotes above. What matters is whether one accepts "The way, the truth, and the life." Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life". "No man cometh to the Father except through me." In Matthew 3:16 it says "For God so loved the world, that he sent his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." "Seek and ye shall find", "Ask and it shall be given unto you". Christians often have disagreements on specific issues; the disagreements are almost unending. But that doesn't mean they're all lost, it just means that they are spiritually still alive: If you don't care anymore about what is right and what is wrong, you are already spiritually dead,: I think it's very possible this relates to what Jesus meant when he said, "let the dead bury the dead." Regarding the seemingly different versions of the Commandments. It all looks kind of confusing because around the same time as the ten commandments were being given, God was also telling Moses what "the law" was, i.e. the Mosaic Law. There was a purpose for all of it, or rather a couple of purposes, which it's getting too late to go into now. But re the different commandments, look at the bold below: 034:027 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 034:028 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. I think "the tenor" means "in the same spirit, largely similar". At any rate, the spoken "version" in the 20th chapter are what is accepted to be what we commonly call "the ten commandments". And then remember that Jesus added two more commandments, one of which was "love thy neighbor as thyself". PS - you're right, you said the 34th chapter, I misread it to refer to the 24th. good night.
