Additional information

With this book, I feel it is important for Christians to know that the promise of eternal salvation, life forever with God, is a promise that began at the beginning with Adam in the garden of Eden for the benefit of all mankind. It was given so that we would know who was coming and by which manner He would come. Many people suggest alternatives to the history of such a promise by way of enacting false religious ideas. God's promise was passed through a single bloodline from the son of Adam to the final person who would fulfill the promise. It was passed orally until the Israelites were freed from Egypt and then given to them in written form because after 430 years of captivity, they were unable to maintain the promise as a nation. As Christians, this was an opportunity for us to have not only the laws written down, especially the Ten Commandments, that we would know without question who the Messiah truly is. The bottom line is that the laws and information of the Scriptures began from the garden, and this book's intention is to show this.
The Ten Commandments of God
And he declared unto you his Covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even Ten Commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. (Deuteronomy 4:13 KJV)
And God spake all these words, saying,
I am, the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. (Exodus 20:1-19 KJV)
