Imagine, if you will, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton (though not necessarily together – we don’t wanna be too fantastic here), John Kerry, Stuart Smalley, Joe Biden and Bill Maher all gathered ‘round the base of ol’ Mount Sinai as Moses brings down the following decree to man directly from the mind and hand of God:


“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

You shall have no other gods before me.”

(Exodus 20:2-3)

Any thoughts as to how that one would go over?

Not well, I’m guessing.

Especially when we take the time to note the clear meaning and intention of the phrase “no other gods before me”, as recorded by God here in this First Commandment upon which all subsequent Commandments are founded.

When God commands that there be “no other gods before me”, He is not even remotely suggesting that it’s just fine and peachy to have or allow other gods in the land, so long as they are not ahead of Him in line or above Him in status. No, that’s not what the language here conveys at all.

Its plain, crystal clear meaning is that there are to be no other gods in His sight within the land of His obedient people.

No other gods are to be tolerated, much less openly worshiped.That’s that the God of Christianity has commanded on the subject.

(For those paying attention, this all ties in rather neatly with recent news out of Oklahoma regarding the desires of satanists to freely express their religion and publicly display monuments to their god ,which I covered earlier in Prancing Ponies, Bible Belt Satanists, and America’s Proud Rebellion.)
