What if this verse is correct?

That is exactly what it means.

You can explain til you are blue in the face, they will not be really listening to you, they hear what they want to hear.

They do not love God

1stJohn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

clearly we can infer from this sentence that if we do not love God, we do not keep His Commandments, alternately, if we do not keep His Commandments, we do not love God.

Jesus, who is God, gave us two Commandments.

#1 Love your God-fulfill this by keeping the first 4 of the 10 Commandments, pay special attention to the 4th Commandment, which is the Sabbath Day Commandment, as this one is the most commonly overlooked. Check your calendar to see what day "the seventh day" is.

#2 Love your neighbor- fulfill this by keeping the last 6 of the 10 Commandments.

Jesus said, in Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

And heaven and earth aint passed yet friend!

p.s. I like the direct and clear way you think, God bless you.

Do you see how most of these people , pussyfoot around the word commandments with other words of their own, this is so pathetic! And seeing how these couple of weeks the keeping the commandment issue has been on yahoo, I know full well those that say keep the commandments re-swallow their own words when reminded that the seventh day sabbath happens to be one of those commandments of God.

Over and Over and Over again these people have been shown through the new testament that we are indeed to keep the commandments of God, Yet blindly these people insist that the 4th one is done away with, it for Israel only, pathetic!

They either don't understand or afraid to go against their teachers of of satan , or/and both.

Richarda.... has the truth and best answer here.

1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

I have grown weary of these people, I don't have near the patience that God has, so I will call them all liars and worshipers of satan without even knowing they are.

1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Here's one way to look at that verse you have quoted:

3 Psalm 111:10 declares: “The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom.” What does that mean? Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge successfully to solve problems, ward off danger, and attain certain goals. It involves sound judgment. The beginning, the first part, the foundation of such wisdom, is the fear of Jehovah. Why? Because all creation is the work of his hands. It is dependent on him. He endowed humankind with free will but not with the ability to direct their own steps successfully apart from his guidance. (Joshua 24:15; Jeremiah 10:23) Only if we appreciate those fundamental facts about life and live in harmony with them can we have lasting success. If our knowledge of Jehovah gives us unshakable conviction that God’s will is certain of success and that his promise and ability to reward faithfulness are sure, then godly fear is going to motivate us to act wisely.—Proverbs 3:21-26; Hebrews 11:6.

4 Consider an example. Some decades ago, a young man was attending the University of Saskatchewan, in Canada. Included in the curriculum was biology, and he was taught evolution. After graduation, he specialized in atomic physics, receiving a scholarship to continue his studies at the University of Toronto. As he studied, he saw marvelous evidence of order and design in atomic structures. But no answers were given to the questions: Who designed all of this? When? And why? Without those answers, could he possibly use his knowledge wisely in a world that was then at war? What would guide him? Nationalism? A desire for materialistic rewards? Really, had he acquired true wisdom?

The fear of Jehovah is not like a morbid fear, such as you might feel if you came into contact with a spider. It is more of a respectful fear, fear of displeasing him. Big difference.

First you have to understand the bible, it was written in such a way as not to be deciphered That's why it's been altered so many times.

Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

Anglo-American political philosopher, whose writings influenced the American Revolution (1775-1783) the French Revolution (1789-1799), and the freethought movements ever since

Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.

How can you be so sure that YOU understand what you are trying to explain to others? There are thousands of different Protestant denominations, and the teachings of each one - which means the biblical understanding of each one - conflicts with the others. Truth cannot conflict with truth; therefore many of the beliefs/teachings of such churches are untrue! So how do you know your beliefs/ teachings are true?? And don't say "they come right out of the Bible" because that's what every denomination says. Perhaps "doing His commandments" includes obeying His command that there is to be only ONE Church, the one He founded on the apostles. Disobey that command and doctrinal chaos is sure to result. As demonstrated in unauthorized manmade denominational religion.

Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.

Jhn 13:17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Rev 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Deu 4:6 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.

Jos 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Jos 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Pro 3:4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom; and to depart from evil [is] understanding.

Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.

Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.

The fear of the LORD (Psa 111:10):

Or the reverence of the Lord. And actually the word fear is reverence. The reverence of Yahweh. "Holy and reverenced is His name. And the reverence of Yahweh,"

is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever (Psa 111:10).

Now let me say this. I believe that there are many men who have taken the title of Reverend in sheer ignorance. I mean, I don't think that they are really trying to exalt themselves. Or every man that signs it Reverend Whoever is trying to exalt themselves and has a pride problem. And that I believe that there are some that just follow tradition and haven't even thought the thing through and haven't even gone to the scriptures. And thus, you know, I put it down not to a real pride problem. I just put it down to stupidity. So it would be wrong if you get a letter from Reverend Ike. What is so reverend about the name Ike, pray tell? Icky Ike.

It is very difficult to understand ANY of His Word without The Holy Spirit's Guidance in the first place. (The Ten Commandments are "Sealed" in the Born Again Believer's heart after Salvation and The Holy Spirit is INSIDE that individual too!) The unbeliever just sways in the breeze and doesn't even know 'what' is true or not and therefore are lost!

The Age of Accountability means what you understand.

You will be judged on what you know as right and wrong, unfortunately when you are standing before the Lord and this comes to mind - you can't hide behind your ignorance, because He knows all that you truly know.

There will be no debating reality at that point

This scripture simply means we need a healthy fear of God in order to obey Him.

That fear is not morbid fear but that kind of fear an appreciative child has with his loving parent. Such child fears to see that he displeased a parent whom he loves deeply. it would break his heart.

If one has that kind of fear of God, he will love to obey for it will bring him joy. Then, wisdom is what he reaps. For obeying God's commandments is for our own good!

(Isaiah 48:17-18) . . .“I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit [yourself], the One causing you to tread in the way in which you should walk.

18 O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

thanks for the question

It means that God will not give you further light if you don't live up to the light He has given thus far.

If someone is unwilling to follow the light they currently have, what purpose would there be in God giving them further light?! In other words, if someone does not apply the understanding given him thus far, why should he be given further understanding?

God does not give us understanding merely for an academic exercise (just for head knowledge). He gives us understanding for us to live by, for us to grow in character and righteousness.

If you share something with someone, and they are not willing to apply the understanding that they have, they will not understand what you try to share with them. Furthermore, they would not be interested in understanding it.
