Dawid Wrote:I think that those are only the extension of R. Yehoshu'a's teaching in Luke 18. You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, and you shall not bear false testimony, and honor your father and mother. This is clearly the other part of the first things, from the context in which the Rebbe stated them.
But what about a blasphemer?
Me personally I always let Scripture do the talking, as I'm extremely fearful to put myself in the place of those in authority (YHWH and His Son). When I deal with such people, I simply say to them: "here's what the word of God says, you can choose to submit to it or rebel against it, if you choose to submit good, if you choose to rebel there will be consequences." Then I leave it that, I've done my bit (warn them) and from there I allow the Almighty to take over.
