What We Get Wrong About the 10
Sep 30, 2026
Are the Ten Commandments just a list of rigid "dos and don'ts," or is there a deeper, relational purpose behind them?
In this episode, Pastor Dan (Be Life Church) sits down with neighboring Rabbi David (Temple Israel) to unpack the true heart behind the Law from a Jewish perspective. Together, they explore the Hebrew origins of the "Ten Words," why "law" might be the wrong translation, and how liberation and love form the true foundation of God's commandments.
In this episode, we cover:
• The true Hebrew translation of "Torah" and "Commandments"
• Why the Jewish 10 Commandments start with liberation, not rules
• The difference between killing and murder in Biblical context
• How viewing God as a teacher/parent changes our view of the Law
