Hi plasticat,

>>>>With this being said, the first Commandment, and the most important according to Jesus, commands that you love God. Now, this seems strange to me because it essentially negates the fact that God allows us to make our own decisions and does not force man to comply with his demands.<<<<

Jesus only gave one commandment!
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. {John 13:31-35


The first commandment of the Old Testament:
1. 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>>>Now, as we all know, opposition to the Commandments (the Law)is a transgression of the law and transgression of the law is the definition of sin.<<<<

Really?!!
Are the 10 commandments (morals)really that hard for you?
Its your free will to ignore those morals and choose your own. you can thumb your nose at the Ten Commandments and the Bible if you so choose. It is the most popular book in the world and, attacked more than any other religious book in the world.
The best way to answer your own questions is "read The Book"!

1. 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.

2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

3. 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.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>>>>Let me give you an analogy: Someone pushes the barrel of a very large gun against the side of your your head and shouts, "I command that you ______ (fill in the blank) or I will physically torture you and then blow your head off! Theoretically, you have a choice. Realistically, you do not. Yes, you can choose to do whatever this person is demanding or you can choose suffering and certain death, but is that really a choice? Can it truly be deemed your "choice" when it has obviously been forced?<<<<

Are you talking about about islam or Christianity?!!!
