The scriptures provided in the post you are quoting from are God's Word. What do you think my post and the scriptures provided in them is saying to you?
I think what you are saying is that it is important to keep certain ones of God's commandments.
I think what the scriptures provided say is that it is important to keep all of God's commandments, or keep all of God's commandments in the same way.
I asked you a question in that post at the end. Do you believe breaking anyone of God's 10 commandments according to the scriptures is sin?
My apologies for missing that!
Yes, I think that breaking any one of God's commandments is sin.
"It sounds like" is not what I have said to you at all. I asked you if you believe if we break anyone of Gods' 10 commandments do we commit sin? The scriptures teach us very clearly that in times of ignorance when we do not know any better God winks at, but when He gives us a knowledge of the truth of His Word he expects us to believe and follow it *Acts of the Apostle 17:30-31; James 4:17.
Yes, Amen to following the knowledge that God gives us!
Bummer that I misunderstood you, but hopefully we can reach a place where at least we understand what the other is saying
In your view is stating that there are other laws in the bible relevant for us today an excuse to break anyone of God's 10 commandments when Gods' 10 commandments give us a knowledge of what sin is when broken and righteousness when obeyed (1 John 3:4; Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; James 2:10-11; Psalms 119:172)?
No, it is not an excuse. However, those other laws would also give us a knowledge of what sin is when broken and righteousness when obeyed, would they not?
As to the direct answer to your question there are many laws in the old covenant that are "shadow laws" of things to come fulfilled in the body of Christ *Colossians 2:17 and continued in Him based on better promises *Hebrews 8:1-6 and there are other laws that are still applicable today.
Do you have a list of which laws you believe are still relevant today? And if you do have such a list, is it something that you can post here?
That's really the core of what I'm asking at this time
As shown above already, that is not my view at all.
And again, apologies for the misunderstanding.
Sorry I do not understand what you mean by the above you may need to explain yourself a little more so I do not have a misunderstanding as to what your saying here.
I believe you were talking about how the Ten commandments are separated from the other laws. I agree with that. However, that is not the only separation in the law. There are other separations in the law.
We both agree that there are more than 10 laws in the Old testament that we are to keep today. But as far as I can tell, the separations described in the scriptures do not fall along the lines of what are often called moral laws or ceremonial laws.
So to say that the Ten commandments are separated from the other commandments does not tell me what laws you believe to be still applicable today.
Your making arguments no one is arguing about.
That's because I didn't understand what you were saying. And I did ask you to correct me if I was wrong in that understanding, I believe. So thank you for the correction.
Where have I ever said to you that Gods commandments are limited to Gods' 10 commandments? If I have never said such things to you why are you pretending that I have?
My misunderstanding was based on this
The Law of God (the 10 commandments) was spoken and written by God alone on two tables of stone as the standard of sin when broken and righteousness when obeyed. *Exodus 20:1-17; Exodus 31:18; Romans 3:20; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:7; Psalms 119:172.
The implication that I understood from that was that it was just the 10 that was that standard.
But apparently that was a misunderstanding.
I think we can save a lot of time and and prevent a lot of misunderstanding if you will say whether or not you have a list of the laws you believe are still applicable today. And if you do have such a list, it would be most helpful if you were to post it, imo.
I only asked you according to the scriptures is it sin to break anyone of Gods' 10 commandments? - I am still waiting for an answer.
Right, and my answer as far as I understand your question, is yes.
No I do not add a commentary. I will add a short comment and add scripture support for my comment. The scriptures provided are normally verbatim (word for word) meaning they are Gods' Word's not my words. Now what is it in any of my posts and scriptures that have been shared with you that you disagree with and why? (scripture please).
I disagree that we can divide the law into categories such as moral or ceremonial. And I disagree with the idea that we keep certain laws one way and other laws another way.
But again, imo this will be easier to talk about when I know exactly which laws you believe are still applicable today.
Thanks for sharing your view. I hope you no longer have any misunderstandings as to what I believe now.
I hope we don't have any further misunderstandings either! And I think we're making good progress
