The law was meant to be our schoolmaster to bring us, humbled and broken, with no confidence in our flesh, to the feet of Christ.GOD'S LAW OF LOVE AS EXPRESSED THROUGH GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENTS.
JESUS came to magnify the LAW from the INSIDE OUT quoting MATTHEW 5:17-32 (thoughts and feelings) in fulfillment of *ISAIAH 42:21. This is to show that unless our RIGHTOUESNESS EXCEEDS the RIGHTOUESNESS of the Scribes and Pharisees we can in no way enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.
Jesus is saying the problem runs deeper then outward observance to the 10 Commandments. EVIL begins in the HEART. BREAKING GOD's 10 COMMANDMENTS from the heart defile a man *MATTHEW 15:18-19. JESUS is saying we can be outwardly perfect and blameless like the Scribes and Pharisee but inwardly like dead mans bones *MATTHEW 23:27-28.
JESUS magnified the LAW and applied it to the INSIDE OUT (thoughts and feelings). To show us that we are all sinners in need of a Saviour and that sin originates in the HEART (thoughts and feelings). That is why we have the NEW COVENANT promise and need to be BORN AGAIN by Faith in God's WORD for salvation to be free from SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 commandments) *HEBREWS 8:10-12; 1 JOHN 3:3-10.
If we are not BORN AGAIN into the NEW COVENANT promise and continue in SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 Commandments) *JAMES 2:10-11, we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven *1 JOHN 2:3-4; 1 JOHN 2:3-4. ALL those who KNOWINGLY break any one of God's 10 commandments stand guilty before God of sin *JAMES 2:10-11. All those who KNOWINGLY CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into God's KINGDOM *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.
God's 4th Commandment is one of the 10 Commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what sin is. There is no such thing as the 9 commandments in God's WORD. The same as there is no scripure that says God's 4th commandment is Abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day.
All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 commandments) will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50. We are saved by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God *EPHESIANS 2:8. We are all sick with sin and need a Physician *MATTHEW 9:12-13. JESUS says arise take up your bed and walk. Only God's WORD is true and we should believe and follow it *ROMANS 3:4.
I believe him. How about you?
You don’t like people lying to you, so I will tell you the Truth. You are not a Jew in pre-AD 70 Israel: the Ten Commandments do not apply to you and never did. Only if you lie to yourself will they apply. Jesus had a different set of commandments, and one of them isn’t kept at all, and probably can’t be. Therefore, the most important of all of the commandments, from a practical standpoint, is what Jesus said we have to do for God to forgive us.If you know the ten commandments are are honest with yourself, you will realize you break them all the time and often...
Is that what you mean by continuing in known unrepentant sin, cause the more you know about sin, the more impossible you will realize it truly is to keep them on your own or in your own strength...
With a full knowledge of all sin, can you ever not knowingly sin, ever, after that...?
And what about the other questions I asked...?
I am repentant though, though I still sin even knowingly sometimes, so what does that make me...?
God Bless!

Hello LGW.All I can do without him is sin for I am a sinner. Who am I that he should love me? I love him because he first loved me but now I walk by faith in him that loves me and abide in him and he in me. His commands are his promises to me so I can follow him and walk in his ways. The victory that overcomes the world is only found in him and he is the Word that creates all things and works in those who believe.
Those that do not believe are still in their sins and do not know him. There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. You cannot separate LOVE from God's LAW Pete. LOVE is expressed through OBEDIENCE to God's 10 commandments as we have FAITH in God's WORD and is our duty of LOVE to GOD and LOVE to man.
All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50.
We are saved by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God *EPHESIANS 2:8. We are all sick with sin and need a Physician *MATTHEW 9:12-13. JESUS says arise take up your bed and walk. I believe him. How about you?
Hope this helps.
Obeying the ten commandments is not the expression of love. If I do not murder someone that has nothing to do with loving others.LOVE is expressed through OBEDIENCE to God's 10 commandments
Hello LGW.
What you wrote is simply not correct.
Obeying the ten commandments is not the expression of love.
If I do not murder someone that has nothing to do with loving others.
The apostle Paul defines love below. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. If I do not steal from people that does not mean that I love others.
Why do you not understand this LGW?
Jesus commanded us to forgive others when they sin against us. He who does not forgive will not be forgiven.Your post is only a distraction. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin *ROMANS 14:23. If you KNOWINGLY disobey God's WORD it is sin. The same as if you disobey any one of God's 10 commandments it is SIN *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11.
God's 4th Commandment is one of the 10 Commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what sin is *JAMES 4:17. There is no such thing as the 9 commandments in God's WORD. The same as there is no scripure that says God's 4th commandment is Abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day.

Jesus commanded us to forgive others when they sin against us. He who does not forgive will not be forgiven.
Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
You call the commandment that Jesus uttered a distraction. You say obey the Sabbath and do not worry about the commandments, the words of Jesus. For they are a distraction.
You should have said that I do not subscibe to your interpretation of the scripture.Your problem here is your not looking at all the scriptures. Only those that suit you. Paul also says..
Loving your neighbor is much more than resisting the desire to take his oxen. We are to love our neighbor as Christ loved us. Which is vastly superior to loving your neighbor as you love yourself. Christ gave us commandment, grace and truth came through Jesus, not through Moses.ROMANS 13:8-10
[8], Owe no man anything, but to love one another: FOR HE THAT LOVES ANOTHE HAS FULFILLED THE LAW.
[9], FOR THIS [or BECAUSE of this], YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT KILL, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, YOU SHALL NOT COVET; AND IF THERE BE ANY OTHER COMMANDMENT IT IS SUMMED UP IN THIS SAYING; YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORE AS YOURSELF.
[10], Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore, love is the fulfilling [DOING] of the law.
Judged by the law of liberty not by the ten commandments. If you respect position, power, or wealth, you sin.JAMES 2:8-12
[8] If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORE AS YOURSELF, you do well: [9], But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are convicted of the law as transgressors. [10], For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. [11], For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet you kill, you are become a transgressor of the law. [12], So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
The law grants a knowledge of what sin is. We are not under the written law, we are under grace.ROMANS 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW.
Loving Jesus and loving others is what we are commanded to do. You confuse the words of Moses with the words of Jesus. You are walking by the light of a dull lamp, not the light that shone in the darkness.MATTHEW 22:36-40
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37], Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
[38], This is the first and great commandment.
[39], And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
[40], ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
You have confused not coveting oxen with loving others from a pure heart.Can you see your errors here brother? You cannot seprate LOVE from God's LAW as LOVE is expressed through it.
Love LGW, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, not the works of the law.That is why JESUS says ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE HANG ALL THE LAW and the prophets.
Not faith in God's word my friend, faith in Jesus Christ is how Christianity is defined.JESUS magnified the LAW and applied it to the INSIDE OUT (thoughts and feelings). In order to show that we need to be BORN AGAIN to LOVE in order to FOLLOW God. This shows us that we are all sinners in need of a Saviour and that sin originates in the HEART (thoughts and feelings). That is why we have the NEW COVENANT promise and need to be BORN AGAIN by Faith in God's WORD for salvation to be free from SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 commandments) *HEBREWS 8:10-12; 1 JOHN 3:3-10.
Real sin is not loving others as Christ has loved you. The law tells us what is not love, Christ tells us what love really is.If we are not BORN AGAIN into the NEW COVENANT promise and continue in SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 Commandments) *JAMES 2:10-11, we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven *1 JOHN 2:3-4; 1 JOHN 2:3-4.
You are fatally confused between law and love.Hope this helps
Do you deny this commandment?Well that is not true. I called what you wrote a distraction trying to argue away from SIN is not breaking God's 10 Commandments. Then this was followed up by stating
Your post is only a distraction. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin *ROMANS 14:23. If you KNOWINGLY disobey God's WORD it is sin. The same as if you disobey any one of God's 10 commandments it is SIN *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11.

What you are posting are only your own words and have no reference to what you are quoting from.
What are the commandments now that we are supposed to keep
A reply to be expected.
You should have said that I do not subscibe to your interpretation of the scripture. Now we observe your false interpretation.
Loving your neighbor is much more than resisting the desire to take his oxen. We are to love our neighbor as Christ loved us. Which is vastly superior to loving your neighbor as you love yourself. Christ gave us commandment, grace and truth came through Jesus, not through Moses.
For some reason you have been infected with a form of legalism
Judged by the law of liberty not by the ten commandments. If you respect position, power, or wealth, you sin.
The law grants a knowledge of what sin is. We are not under the written law, we are under grace.
Loving Jesus and loving others is what we are commanded to do. You confuse the words of Moses with the words of Jesus. You are walking by the light of a dull lamp, not the light that shone in the darkness.
Love LGW, the fruit of the Holy Spirit, not the works of the law.
Not faith in God's word my friend, faith in Jesus Christ is how Christianity is defined.
Real sin is not loving others as Christ has loved you. The law tells us what is not love, Christ tells us what love really is. You are fatally confused between law and love.
Do you deny this commandment?
Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
What are the commandments now that we are supposed to keep (under the NC).
And can anyone keep these on their own or in their own strength...?
God Bless!
