1. All that bold face is giving me a headache. It's really harsh against the dark background.
2. Too many rules. I'm sure you could condense them if given a chance.
3. Whatever happened to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"?

Your title is Divine Rules for Life
it seems to me you are violating #17
17. Do not hold yourself as one in importance above all others. See that your pride finds balance in modesty so that you may remain humble and do not become arrogant.
Perhaps you would like to control the world around you because you have little faith that God or your fellow man will watch out for you.
I empathize with the notion but all we can do is control ourselves and in so doing become a example that others might draw inspiration from.

Olaru,
This person told me to drink wine, but you get pure water...
OP I am a Christian. Every person who responds has a right to know by whose authority these commandments are given. Do they come from you? That's why I asked this.
And since the post is generally regarded as to everyone, then everyone has a right to question. Even atheists, agnostics and other religious faith systems want to know. This is one fundamental aspect of religion, knowing the authority.
So by whose authority?
You told me to drink wine...well, what if I don't want to drink wine and since wine comes in many different varieties, it is important to know what wine to drink with what meal.
This current dinner you are serving, what wine goes best with it?

What seems to you as 'no-brainer', too many others fail to comprehend.
A flock of sheep can easily stray and get lost, if their Shepherd does not establish boundaries to keep them in.
Many sheep who wander are not capable of defining their own boundaries. It is for these who will end up lost that the Shepherd need maintain his fences, not for those who he would find stay by his side.

All the best my friends...
Please understand, all attempt at correction for Positive steering is provided out of love. You have heeded the callings of principality spirits outside His Body and it is a dangerous avenue for the soul. There are more than two commandments from our King- the two you referenced however as the greatest, provide the Foundation to adhere to all 50 for those that strive to follow the narrow path. May His Outpourings reach you in Abundance.
