The statement above should be a wake up call to every human on the planet.
Only one human being has ever kept the ten commandments perfectly.
Do you think the rich young man was "born-again" of the Spirit of God, just because he claimed to keep the ten commandments?
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Two books of the Bible were written to address the Judaisers.
The Book of Galatians, and the Book of Hebrews were both written to reveal the truth about the battle between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.
Heb 8:13 In that He says, "A NEW COVENANT," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

You seem to be all over the place in this discussion. Instead of staying on one topic and discussing it once you see that what you have just stated disagrees with the scriptures your right away off to the next topic. If you read and understood what you were quoting from in the full post (not the small part you have taken out of context; see post # 876 linked) in regards to Matthew 19:16-26 you should know that in the very words quoted from Jesus no one receives everlasting life while practicing known unrepentant sin. This is also shown in Hebrews 10:26-31. In Matthew 19:16-26 Jesus had shown the rich young ruler that he loved his money and possessions more than God and he was breaking the first two commandments of our duty of love to God even though he thought he was being obedient to God's 10 commandments.
As posted to you elsewhere, obedience to God's 10 commandments is not how we are saved it is the fruit of faith the words by love (see Matthew 22:36-40; Romans 13:8-12; James 2:10-12; 1 John 5:2-3; John 14:15: John 15:10; Hebrews 8:10-12 from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27). According to the scriptures we are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God and not of works lest any man should boast *Ephesians 2:8-9. As posted earlier, obedience to God's words are not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of genuine faith of one that is already been given Gods promise of salvation and the fruit of God's work in us *Philippians 2:13 as we believe and follow his word *John 10:26-27. 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; Hebrews 10:26-27.
Therefore we do not abolish God's law through faith like some people teach but God's law is established in the heart by faith that works by love *Romans 3:31; 1 John 5:3-4; Romans 13:8-10. According to the scriptures, sin (breaking God' commandments and not believing and following God's Word) is the difference between the children of God and the children of the devil *1 John 3:6-10; 1 John 2:3-4; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 22:14 and God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is when broken according to the scriptures (Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4; James 2:10-11). According to the scriptures no one enters into God's kingdom while practicing known unrepentant sin. Those who do so according to the scriptures are in danger of the judgment according to Hebrews 10:26-27. Of course we know that God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is when broken according to the scriptures in Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John 2:4 and James 2:10-11 and this seems to be a stumbling block for many here.
Take care
