Let’s move to the next “saying”, the Second Saying for the Jews, the First Commandment for the Christians.
“You shall have no other gods before me. (Exodus 12:3)
Other gods were certainly an issue in the formative years, in fact the vast number of instructions in the Torah were there to help the Hebrews follow this one, by offering harsh punishments as deterrents. Of course now, other gods have been packaged as rival religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism and are no longer a direct threat to orthodox Judaism, though they are a great issue for Christianity, as roadblocks against the Great Commission.
