How Deep Is Your Love for

The Eternal Creator? by Minister, D. J. Love, TSN, SBC

updated 12-22-2001refined 3-28-2007

Have you ever attempted to measure the depth of your love for your Creator ? Well, if you haven't, then I must honestly tell you that nowhere in the HolyScriptures is there one single person who received the " Promise of Salvation " that wasn't shown how to " Love YHVH with All their Mind,Life or Soul, and Heart. "

Remember what Messiah Y'Shua said when asked what was the greatestcommandment ?

Matthew 22:36-4036 "Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment (Vow) in the Law(Covenant) ?"37 Y'Shua said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your EL with allyour heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'38 This is the first and great Commandment (Vow) .39 A second like unto it is this, 'You shall love your neighbor asyourself.'40 The whole Law (Covenant) and the prophets (prophecies) depend(are built) on these two Commandments (Vows) ."

So, did you not already realize that all of YHVHCommandments (ordinances,precepts, laws, etc. . .) are in reality the words to the Marriage Vow (Covenantof Love) made by YHVH's Children with YHVH ?


2/14

Exodus 19:5-85 Now therefore, if ye (the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or Israel)will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant , then yeshall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people : for all the Earthis mine:6 And ye (the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or Israel) shall be untome a Kingdom of Priests, and an Holy Nation (In the ComingKingdom of YHVHon Earth) . These are the words which thou shaltspeak unto the Children of Israel (Heirs to the promise made toAbraham) .7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid

before their faces all these words which the YHVHcommanded him.

8 And all the people answered together , and said, All thatYHVHhath spoken (Commanded) we will do. And Moses returned thewords of the people unto YHVH.

In the above verses it is easy to see that all of our Creator's Laws,Commandments, and Prophecies revolve around these two Commandments.As a matter of fact, it is nearly common knowledge that the "TenCommandments," as given to Moses by YHVH, was summarized byMessiah Y'Shua in light of Matthew 22:36-40 above as follows:

"The Greatest Commandment" (Matthew 22:36-38) summarizes the first five(some say four) of the "Ten Commandments", and "A Second Like Unto It"(Matthew 22:39-40) summarizes the last five (some say six) of the "TenCommandments". I say that YHVHis your real Father, and in any event,your Earthly mother and Papa are not simply neighbors, but allegories for YHVH. Thus, I group The Fifth Commandment with " The GreatestCommandment ."

Therefore, it is a safe bet that you can, also, judge the depth of your ownlove by the "Ten Commandments" (Covenant "MarriageVows" of Love) . Sowhy don't we take a deeper look into the real meanings found within the"Ten Commandments" or Torah of Love .

The First Commandmentof Love towards YHWH

Exodus 20:3 & Deuteronomy 5:7

"You shall have no other gods before me."

This word " Before " in Hebrew is " Al" meaning "Esteemed More Than "

At first glance it looks like this is an easy Commandment to keep. After all,when was the last time that you can remember praying to the goddess Isis,the Sun god Apollo or to any of the hundreds of other pagan gods and

goddesses? Most of us don't even know their names. So this is an easy one to"Keep" . . . . Right? Well, before we start jumping to any conclusions whydon't we ask ourselves this question: Who has the power and wisdom todetermine what is good or what is evil, and to determine who will haveSalvation or who will not ? Is it mankind or YHVH? Of course, it is our Creator YHVH. So where will you place your trust and faith ? In Mankind,your Minister or Priest, your Doctor, your self , an engraved rock, Scienceand Technology, Mother Nature, Satan (Source of Human Nature) or in TheCreator YHVH? I am going to assume that you realize that only TheCreator YHVHhas the power to save us from ourselves and " Self-inflicted-destruction ". So, with that in mind, let us learn for ourselves what it is thatour Creator YHVHhas already determined to be " Good " or " Evil ", and"The Path " (direction) His Word has made clear for us to follow (Obey) .

Deutronomy 12:29-3228 Observe (obey, do, follow) and hear (pay attention to) All TheseWords which I Command You (this is not a suggestion) , that it may gowell with you, and with your children after you forever , when you dothat which is Good and Righteous (Not Evil) in the eyes of YHVHyour

Elohim (not in your opinion, but YHVH's opinion) .

Note: If you do not do that which is good and righteous (InYHVH's Opinion) then it will not go well with you or your children, forever .

29 When YHVHyour Elohim shall cut off (Destroy or Eliminate) the


4/14

nations from before you (YHVHis speaking to His first symbolic wife andher children, Israel, which is-are-was our example) , where you go in todispossess them (the unrighteous) , and you dispossess them, and dwell(Establish your homes) in their land;

Note: YHVHis warning against learning about and practicingthe evil influences (unrighteousness seeking pagan culture) that His

beloved children (including us) will be exposed to.

30 Take Heed To Yourself that you Are Not Ensnared (CleverlyTricked or Trapped) to follow (Imitate) them (The UnrighteousnessSeekers) , after they are destroyed from before you; and that you DoNot Inquire After (Do Not Be Curious About) their gods (idols) , saying,"How do these (unrighteousness seeking) nations serve their gods (PaganTraditions and Pagan Customs)

? Even so, will I do likewise."31 You Shall Not Do So (Do Not Imitate the imaginations of humans;their Pagan Customs and Traditions, and unrighteousness seeking.) toYHVHyour Elohim: for every abomination, which YHVHhates, havethey done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they

burn in the fire to their gods (YHVHRemembers Their Evil andYHVHNever Forgets) .

32 WHATEVER THING I COMMAND YOU, THAT SHALLYOU OBSERVE TO DO: YOU SHALL NOT ADD THERETO,NOR DIMINISH FROM IT . (Be Obedient! Show Me That You LoveMe, and Trust Me ONLY. Do NOT Place Trust In Yourself Or Think MoreHighly Of Your Own Opinions. Just Do exactly What I Tell You To Do, AndDo NOT Imitate Different Ways, Improvise, Modify, Or Alter in any waywhat I COMMAND You to Do for your own good.)

YHVH Is Saying : "I AM The Mighty EL, The Father!" "You Are NOTThe Self-existent One! "I AM ! " "However, you are in the unique positionto become my children!" " OBEY ME OR ELSE I will be required todestroy you for "Righteousness Sake" just the same as I destroyed thesepagans from before you!" "If you place your will above My Will, then youevidently ESTEEM yourself more than you ESTEEM Me , your Creator!""Where Is Your Humility?" "Why do you choose Satan inspired Human

Nature over MY RIGHTEOUS NATURE?" "Do you see yourself as a godtoo ?" With this in mind, who do you worship ?


5/14

DO YOU ADD TO YHVH's COMMANDMENTS?

YHVH Is Saying : Do you observe the pagan holidays of Xmas, Easter

(Ishtar) , Halloween, Mardi Gras, Saint Patrick's Day, Saint Valentines Day,May Day, Groundhog Day, etc. . Do you say prayers or "Hail Marys" toMary the "Queen Of Heaven (The Sky) " ? Can you show me where Icommanded you to do so?

. Do You Say Prayers To Patron Saints? Do you go to Ishtar (Easter) "SunriseServices", Observe Lent, Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday or make Sunday your day for holy convocation (assembly) ? Can you showme where I commanded you to do so?

DO YOU TAKE AWAY FROM YHVH'sCOMMANDMENTS?

YHVH Is Saying : Do you simply not worship ME at all, but follow your own will ? Do you fail to observe MY Sabbaths (Weekly & Annual) as a HolyConvocation ? Does the focus of your prayers center around your needs OR on the needs of others ? If so, how does this self-willed and disrepectfulattitude bring honor upon MY reputation (Good Name) ?

The Second Commandmentof Love towards The Eternal Father

Deuteronomy 5:8-10

8 "You shall not make an engraved (carved, milled or casting from anengraved mold) image for yourself nor any likeness of anything that isin heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water lower than the earth:


6/14

9 you shall not bow down yourself to them (physically or mentally) , nor serve them; for I, YHVH, your El, am a jealous El, visiting theiniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and on thefourth generation of those who hate me;

10 and SHOWING LOVING KINDNESS TO THOUSANDS OFTHOSE WHO LOVE ME AND "KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS".

Well, Most of us "Keep" this one, Right? If you're a Protestant then youmight be thinking that those Universal Romans (catholics) are the worstoffenders of this Second Commandment, and you would be partially correct,

but is the ROMAN church the only offender ?

Deuteronomy 5:88 You shall not make: an engraved image for yourself of anything thatis in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in thewater lower than the earth: nor any likeness ..... (con't to)

If we take this literally, then No Carved Statues , No Cast Moldings , NoInjected Plastic Shapes or Stamped Shapes of Anything ! However, whatis truly being said here is slightly less restrictive, and since the implication isanything that is or could be esteemed higher than YHVH (including JesusChrist ), know this, YHVHplaces the burden of obedience through Love oneach and every one of us as individuals, and YHVHcannot be fooled !

Do you have a "Crucifix" that you just can't help kissing or praying to ? A"Good Luck" Charm in which you have placed your trust or hope ? AnySports Hero action figures ? Any special rock or glass crystals with so called

powers ? Any chocolate Easter bunnies ? A Madonna with Child ? A St.Christopher medal ? Angelic statues ? The list is endless!

(con't from) ....... nor any likeness (image) of anything that is inheaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Do you have any paintings, etchings, photographs of Jesus Christ ? Of musicor rock stars (idols) ? Of actors or actresses ? Do you have any nude

photographs of men or women or children that you really enjoy looking at ?....Shall I continue?


7/14

Now, do we actually have to bow down to an image or statue, etc. inorder to worship it? Do you find yourself feeling defensive ? Regardless of how we might feel about this, we can only honestly come to one conclusion.No, we do not have to actually physically bow down to an image in orderto worship it or serve it ! . .We can Spiritually bow down to these things bysimply esteeming any one of them (in our minds or hearts) to be more value tous than YHVHour Creator. Of course, you will esteem these things morethan YHVHif you continue to keep them knowing that YHVHhates your decision to do so ! Additionally, our actions speak louder than our wordswhen it comes to observing any of YHVH's commandments.

Do your actions speak louder than your words ? . . . I pray not !

The Third Commandmentof Love towards The Eternal

Deuteronomy 5:11

You shall not take the name of YHVHyour EL in vain (Hebrew"Shav" ): for YHVHwill not hold him guiltless who takes his name invain (Shav ).

. . The Hebrew word "Shav" (In Vain) covers a broad spectrum of meanings, and we will cover each of them separately. Those meaningsare:

(1) In a "Desolating" way... Which is to deprive YHVHof His Children.

Anyone, who says anything against YHVHor YHVH's Will for mankind insuch a way that it causes or could cause a "Called" disciple to abandon his or her Calling.... That person has used YHVH's Name in Vain!

(2) In an Evil Destructive way... Which is to harm the high public opinion of the Perfect and Righteous character of YHVH (Which is YHVH's Holy Spirit) .

* The implication of using YHVH's name in a display of cursing and


8/14

swearing, such as "God D_ _ _ it !" , as in when you smash your finger witha hammer is most likely this 'Evil and Destructive' way. I believe that theconcept behind NOT using YHVH's name in vain is one of respect, and if this form of disrespect should occur an immediate repentant attitude shouldfollow.

(3) In an Idolatrous way... Which is to make the only True G-d to appear no better than a useless false pagan god. This one already has YHVHvery angrywith those people, and churches that have applied YHVH's name to theancient customs and traditional practices of (christo-) paganism .

(4) In a false or lying way (to deceive) ... "To bear false witness againstYHVH."

(5) In the way of human Vanity... "To mock YHVHin order to 'Puff Up' one's

own ego." As in these examples: (To say, think or believe something similar tothe following) "So where is your God now when you need Him? " or " Let'ssee if your God can save you from my wrath? "

The Fourth Commandmentof Love towards YHVHand from YHWH

This Fourth Commandment symbolizesthat True Love is not a one way street.

Deuteronomy 5:12-15

12 Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it Holy, as YHVHyour ELcommanded you .

13 Six days shall you labor, and do all your work;


9/14

14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to YHVHyour Elohim: in it youshall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey,nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates; thatyour man-servant and your maid-servant may rest as well as you.

15 You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt(Sin) , and YHVHyour Elohim brought you out of there by a mightyhand and by an outstretched arm: therefore YHVHyour Elohimcommanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

Now I Will Repeat The Above Commandment With All Of Its ParallelMeanings For True Believers Today.

Deuteronomy 5:12-15

12 Observe (Hebrew "Shamar"... to "Protect", "Watch Over", "AttendTo", "Keep", "Save", and "Preserve") The Sabbath Day (Not " A"Sabbath Day, but " The " Sabbath Day) , to Keep (Shamar) it Holy, asYHVHyour Elohim commanded you .

13 Six days shall you labor, and do all your work;

14 but the Seventh Day is a Sabbath (Of Rest) to YHVHyour Elohim:in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter,

nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest as wellas you.

15 You Shall Remember (you are given no choice) that you were aServant in the land of Egypt (A Servant to Sin) , and YHVHyour Elohim

brought you out of there by a mighty hand, and by an outstretchedarm: therefore YHVHyour Elohim commanded you to Keep (Hebrew"ASAH"... "Observe" In The Broadest Possible Sense) The Sabbath Day .

And *IF* you have been faithfully following my sermonettes, you shouldknow by now as to why YHVHwants you to "PROTECT", OBSERVE","KEEP", "SAVE", "PRESERVE", "ATTEND TO", and "WATCH OVER"The SABBATH DAY. Why? Because those of you who are obedient to thiscommandment (through Love) will have mysteries revealed unto you, thatwill endear you to The Eternal Father!


10/14

Matthew 12:8,12

8 For The Son Of Man (Messiah Y'Shua) is Lord of The Sabbath.

12 Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day .

However, any act of Righteous Love is correct, and always has been, but theancient Israelites were too legalistic to understand this.

Mark 2:27-28

27 He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for theSabbath.

28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

This does NOT mean that man has the right to change the Sabbath toanother day. This verse was stated to show that it is lawful to perform acts of kindness and love on the Sabbath, so that "Man" may benefit from that"Love" and not suffer from being under Legalism. See " Authority Of TheChurch ."

The Fifth Commandmentof Love towards Parents

Who Spiritually Symbolize YHVH

Deuteronomy 5:16

Honor (Hebrew "Kabad" Or "Kabed"...see definition below) your Earthfather and your Earth mother , as YHVHyour Elohim commanded you;that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the(promised) land which YHVHyour Elohim gives you.
http://authority.html/http://authority.html/http://authority.html/http://authority.html/


11/14

See " Kingdom of YHVHon Earth "

* Definition:

Kabad Or Kabed... Either of these words implies a deep sense of commitment regardless of conditions. A commitment that is very similar tomarriage vows where it says " Until Death Do Us Part ". That, even inhardship or death, we should show love and respect to our parents, and notcause them shame. That we should treat them as our superiors even if it isn'ttrue. This type of Honor is not detrimental to us, but strengthens our character, and our relationships with our Physical Parents, as well as, WithOur Creator . Always remember... Love Is Selfless , and Love Is Humble !

1 Corinthians 1:27-28

27 but YHVHchose the foolish things of the world that he might putto shame those who are wise. YHVHchose the weak things of theworld, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

28 and YHVHchose the lowly things of the world, and the things thatare despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothingthe things that are:

The Last Five Commandmentsof Love towards all of Mankind

Deuteronomy 5:17-21
http://content/Kingdom.htmlhttp://content/Kingdom.html


12/14

17 You shall not murder.

18 Neither shall you commit adultery.

19 Neither shall you steal.

20 Neither shall you give false testimony against your neighbor.

21 Neither shall you covet your neighbor's wife; neither shall youdesire your neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or hismaid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.

These Last Five Commandments are fairly easy to understand, and most of us have never murdered anyone. but ....

Deuteronomy 5:17-21 (expounded by Matthew 5:17-48)

Matthew 5:17-48 (Messiah Y'Shua explains the "Intent" of The TenCommandments Of Love)

Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn'tcome to destroy, but to make Replete (More abundant through acts of Love) . For most assuredly, I tell you, until heaven and Earth passaway, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in anyway pass away from the law (Torah) , until all things are accomplished.Whosoever, therefore, that shall break even the least one of theseCommandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in theKingdom of Heaven On Earth (Paradise) ; but whosoever shall do andteach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven On Earth(Paradise) ( That is assuming you actually make it into The Kingdom! ).

20 For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of thescribes and Pharisees, there is no way you shall enter into theKingdom of Heaven (On Earth) .......

Matthew 5:21-26 'YOU SHALL NOT MURDER ;' and 'Whoever shallmurder shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, thateveryone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in
