Why keep the Ten Commandments?

[FredVB]

Then why are you telling Christians here they should obey the 10 commandments?

With being redeemed we should turn from sin, living according to Christ's righteousness that is applied to us. And as jelboss had earlier admitted, commandments are showing things to be sin.

Let me say this again.
1) The Law includes the 10 commandments.
2) Requiring obedience to the Law is promoting the Law.
3) Christians are not under the Law
4) Christians by NOT being under the Law are NOT under the 10 commandments
5) Obligating Christians to the 10 commandments IS putting them under the Law
6) Sin via the 10 commandments applies ONLY to those whom the Law applies to. You cannot sin when the definition of sin is out of its jurisdiction. If it is a sin to eat bananas on Sunday on a small island in the pacific, those people there cannot come to America and arrest everyone that eat bananas on Sunday.

To no longer be under the law doesn't remove our obligation to obedience. To be under the law means to know the law-and our obligation to it- but to be apart from grace-from our need for communion with God, to be apart from Christ. With God all things are possible, including obedience to the righteousness He created for man.
