The Eleventh Commandment

During the first college break for this year, I and my other friends went the Theology Camp, which was held in Pattaya, Thailand. One early morning, some students and faculties and I went out to the sea shore to have short morning worship. After the worship, I was sitting there and sarcastically smiled to this girl and she threw a small stone toward me. That stone hit my forehead and as a reflexive action I threw words to her saying, “You see how much she loves me!” during that time her guardians were there too. They are faculties in my college. They heard what I said and both of them responded to me by telling me that, “these girls have eleventh commandment, do you know what that eleventh commandment is?” And they added, “It is…. thou shall not fall in love”. They were also telling me that these girls are not allowed to love any guys. (I hope they kept this commandment as they said {grin}).
This is only an illustration came from my life experience. The faculty who told me that these girls have an eleventh commandment is our Theology Professor. I wonder that day, How could a person who knows the primary essence of Ten Commandment could tell that there is eleventh commandment which says, “Thou shall not fall in love”.
The primary essence of Ten Commandment is Love. That’s what Jesus emphasized in Matthew 22:36 – 40:

“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”43 22:37 Jesus44 said to him, “‘Love45 the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’46 22:38 This is the first and greatest47 commandment. 22:39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’48 22:40 All the law and the prophets depend49 on these two commandments.” NET Bible

We can say many things, but at the end without love there is no heaven and earth. Even God talks about love and He is called LOVE. It was funny to hear that this professor said eleventh commandment is not to fall in love, while, the whole Ten Commandments is talking about LOVE. All I want to say here is that there are many people are still ignorance in what they are saying and acting. They are saying something but not acting according to what they said. BUT God in other hand He did and still doing what He said and Promise to us. He said that He loved us even before the foundation of the world and because of that he gave his only begotten son (Jesus Christ) that none should perish but have eternal life. He still loving us and will be loving us forever.
