Ten commandments.... justification of the legislation....
The commandment to love God and one's neighbour comprises all the commandments that God made known to mankind through Moses, and thus man observes each of these ten commandments if he fulfils the great commandment to love God and one's neighbour. It is extremely important to be informed about the origin of these ten commandments, because there are so many speculations about them that can easily lead us to doubt divine love. At that time, conditions among fellow human beings were all too characteristic of their lack of love. And the one God was no longer remembered; the inclination to the world, the love of mammon, of all earthly pleasures was indescribably great, and they respected neither their fellow man's property nor what they owed to their God and creator. They surrendered themselves willlessly to satan's power and paid homage to everything that was his share. And God brought terrible misery upon the people who had forgotten Him, forcing them to repent. They regocnized their low spiritual state and therefore asked God for help from their physical and spiritual affliction. God then made His will known through Moses in a form that illuminated all the details in order to clearly show the people the wrongness of their way of life. The legislation at Sinai was so obvious that even the most hardened sinner regocnized the power and greatness of God and now had to regocnize God's will, which demanded a deep inner conversion from him. He gave His laws through Moses with an iron voice, through which He harshly illuminated people's way of life and reproached them for their sinful behaviour. For this did not correspond in the slightest to the divine requirements, and mankind was so blinded at that time that every commandment had to be given to them in order to make them realize their wrongdoing. What contributed to their physical well-being they took for themselves without a second thought, without considering the well-being of their fellow human beings, and thus they did not acknowledge the eternal deity through their behaviour.... they did nothing to please God, but everything to harm their neighbour and seek their own advantage. The spiritual low became so obvious that God took pity on them and sent them news of His power and omnipotence and of His love, which demanded the same from His creatures.... And Jesus Christ taught the same on earth, He placed love for God before everything else and added love for one's neighbour as confirmation of love for God to this greatest commandment, and thus anyone who respects these two commandments, which every person's purpose in life should be to fulfil, will fulfil the divine will....

DESET ZAPOVEDI.... RAZLAGA ZA DANI ZAKON....
Zapoved Ljubezni do Boga in do bližnjega zajema vse zapovedi, katere je Bog preko Mojzesa objavil ljudem tako, da človek sledi vsaki (spoštuje vsako) od teh Desetih Zapovedi, ko izpolnjuje največjo zapoved Ljubezni do Boga in do bližnjega.
Pomembno je biti obveščen (podučen) o vzroku, zakaj je bilo danih teh Deset Zapovedi; glede tega namreč kroži veliko domnev, katere bi lahko pripeljale do tega, da se začne dvomiti v Božansko Ljubezen. V tistih časih je med ljudmi vladalo stanje, v katerem se je odražala velika neljubeznivost (stanje brez Ljubezni – Boga). In ni se več častilo (slavilo) enega Boga; težnja k svetu, ljubezen do Mammona, do vseh zemeljskih zadovoljstev je bila nepopisno velika, in oni niso cénili niti imetja drugega človeka niti tega, kar so bili dolžni svojemu Bogu in Stvarniku. Oni so se ravnodušno predajali oblasti Satana in oboževali (častili) vse, kar je bilo v njegovem interesu. Toda Bog je dovolil, da strašna beda (revščina) prizedene tiste ljudi, ki so pozabili na Njega, in tako jih je prisilil na notranji preobrat. Oni so prepoznali svoje nizko duhovno stanje in so zato prosili Boga, da jim pomaga, da se rešijo iz svoje telesne (fizične) in duhovne težave. Potem pa je Bog preko Mojzesa objavil Svojo voljo v obliki, preko katere je pojasnil vsako posamezno stvar, da bi ljudjem povsem jasno pokazal vse tisto, kar je nepravilno v njihovem načinu življenja. Objavljanje Zakona na Sinaju je bilo tako očitno, da je tudi najbolj zakrneli grešnik prepoznal silo in veličino Boga; tedaj pa je moral ravno tako prepoznati voljo Boga, Kateri je od njega zahteval globok notranji preobrat (spremembo). On je preko Mojzesa z zastrašujočim glasom dal Svoje zakone, preko katerih je On ekstremno razsvetlil način življenja ljudi in na njih vrgel (jim pokazal) njihovo grešno življenje. Ono namreč ni bilo niti najmanj v skladu z Božanskimi zahtevami; človeštvo pa je bilo v teh časih tako zaslepljeno, da mu je bilo potrebno dati vse zapovedi, da bi lahko videli njihovo nepravičnost. Brez razmišljanja so izkoristili vse, kar bi lahko prispevalo k njihovemu telesnemu uživanju, brez da so usmerili pozornost na korist bližnjega tako, da preko svojih postopkov niti niso priznali večnega Božanstva.... Ničesar niso storili, da bi živeli Bogu prijetno življenje, po drugi strani pa vse, da bi bližnjega oškodovali in izvlekli v svojo lastno korist. Duhovna depresija je bila tako zelo izražena, da se jih je Bog usmilil in dal (dovolil), da se jim objavi Njegova Sila in Vsemogočnost, kakor tudi Njegova Ljubezen, katero pa je ravno tako zahteval od Njegovih stvaritev....
Jezus Kristus je to isto poučeval na Zemlji; On je Ljubezen do Boga postavljal iznad vsega ostalega, in Ljubezen do bližnjega je dodal kot potrditev te največje zapovedi: Ljubezen do Boga. In zaradi tega bo Božansko voljo izpolnjeval tisti, ki spoštuje ti dve zapovedi, izpolnjevanje katerih pa bi moral biti smisel in središče življenja vsakega človeka.
