What I want to know is if there are any good biblical cites where jesus discusses a revocation of the 1st commandment. I know what he said about graven images on coins, but what about other religions?

He referred to the believers of those other religions as dogs. Here’s what he said according to Matthew 15:21-28:

21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.

28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

You will notice that he did say that he wasn’t sent only to Israel but he waited until the Canaanite woman also referred to herself as a dog.

Pl, you’ve told me a tiny bit about yourself. You said you and your wife were born again
Spirit filled Christians. And now it’s clear that you’re no longer serving God. Whatever
“insight” I’ve had into your life is pretty obvious.

No, we no longer believe their is a god. (At least I don’t; my wife is still undecided on the matter but has decided for herself that Christianity is self-evidently a big load of horseshit, and she was involved with the church for about 7 years more than I was.)

Anyway, your so-called “insight” is only real and valid given the proposition that your belief system is correct, a proposition that I do not accept and nor, I daresay, do the majority of people in the world. But go ahead living in your illusion. I’m sure it makes you feel good.
