While it is true that God does not expect believers today to follow the Old Testament laws regarding the sacrificial system, food and clothing rules, etc., it is unwise in my view to claim that the Ten Commandments are not "binding on Christians today."

My answer is yes, according to Jesus spoken words, who is God made flesh. We can find this in our Bibles and why its important to prayerfully studying God's word directly, over what is posted on the internet.

Sadly, people say we should keep the Ten Commandments, but than edit His words in one of His commandments, as if God made a mistake on the one commandment that reveals the God we are to worship Exo20:11 Rev14:7 and is part of His identity as our Creator Exo20:11 and Sanctifier Eze20:12 that man for some reason thinks they needed to correct.


Jesus used interchangeably the commandments of God with the Word of God

Mat 15:3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves also break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ From the Ten Commandments
Mat 15:6 he is not to honor his father or mother.’ And by this you have invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.


Mat 7:13 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men

Which commandment?
‘Honor your father and your mother’ (from the Ten Exo20:12 Deut4:13)

13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying…”

These “words” are the Ten Commandments.

The commandments of God Jesus used interchangeably with the Word of God. Wow, can you imagine making the word of God of no effect though traditions of man. That's pretty serious in my mind. Jesus said it was
"in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men". The apostles spoke of this as well Col2:8

“These words the LORD spoke… and He added no more.
And He wrote them on two tablets of stone." Deut5:22

The Ten Commandments are explicitly called “the words” God spoke, and nothing else was added.


The Hebrew phrase is עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִים — Aseret haDvarim
Meaning: The Ten Words.

The Ten Commandments is the Ten Words of God.

Can the Testimony of God be edited by anyone?

Mat 25:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Why again used interchangeably with the Ten Commandments, the Law of God.

Mat5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
Luke 16:17 It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than for one tittle of the law to fail.

Because...

Psa 119:89 Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. Right where His ark and Testimony is Rev 11:19 Rev15:5 and includes the 4th commandment unedited as we see it continuing for eternity Isa66:22-23


Why again His word is used interchangeable with His Law in Judgement

John 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken (His Testimony Exo31:18) will judge him in the last day.

James 2:11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty (Ten Commandments- the He who said in Exo20:1-17- Gods Testimony Exo31:18)


Once God tells us what things mean, they stay the same throughout the Bible, because there is no one above God. The entire Bible is about the testimony of God John5:39 through His prophets and disciples. Who has the greatest testimony of all- God's Exo31:18 why it sits under His mercy seat unedited because He is God and we are called to join ourselves to Him and be His servant Isa56:6

The Ten Commandments cannot be edited- God promised He would not alter His words Psa89:34 Deut4:13 not a jot or tittle Mat5:18-19 because no church, no person is above God. Sadly His Law was edited just as predicted that most follow Dan7:25 but we are living in the last days and God is calling us back Rev18:4 to worship our Creator Rev14:7 Exo20:11 and worship Jesus relates to obedience. Staying faithful/obedient to God through love and faith is how we remain in Him John15:10 Rev14:12 and reconcile Rev22:14

Bieng under grace means that you are in Christ, with the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering you to live the life God desires for you, which does not include adultery, murder, lying, etc. Being under grace in no way means that sin no longer matters; just the opposite, in fact; it means that we now obey the right way, by the Spirit, not by the Letter. Willful and wanton disobedience means we haven't remained in Him!

Heb 10:5-11 says that the laws of animal sacrifice and offering were taken away at the cross by the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ.

The NT does not say "it is ok to take God's name in vain since that is Exodus 20:7 part of the 10 commandments, part of the Law of Moses, and so is to be ignored now".

I think we all agree on that one.

In Matt 19 Jesus said "Keep the Commandments" and was then asked "which ones?". His answer was to give example directly from the Law of Moses most His examples came from the TEN.

Eph 6:1-2 says that "honor your father and mother" is the first commandment with a promise. That is only true in the unit of TEN.

James 2 says "to break one is to break them all" and then James gives examples from the Law of Moses including commands not in the TEN.

 

[Delvianna]

What SabbathBlessings said

Since sin = breaking the law (1 John 3:4)

"He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed." - 1 Peter 2:24

How do you die to sins if you're still living in it like a bowl of soup?

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? - Romans 6:1-2

When we die, and are resurrected as a new person:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! - 2 Corinthians 5:17

How can you be a new person but do the same things the old person did? And to add, since this is new testament...

No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.- 1 John 3:6-10

While we don't have to continue in the ceremonial law, we DO have to continue in the moral law (10 commandments). The NT doesn't do away with it, it actually affirms it more boldly.

 

[timothyu]

Does putting the will of God ahead of the will of mankind still apply? There is your answer.

 

[tturt]

Unfortunate that they didnt stick to the same tone, support, and conclusion ("In other words, the qualities the Holy Spirit produces in our lives perfectly conform with God’s law and display His holy character)" as in another Got Questions article "Are the Ten Commandments Repeated in the New Testament?" It includes where they're located in the New Testament, etc.

Bottom line: Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15)

Under the New Covenant a Christian is no longer bound to the law. No longer are we forced by legal obligation or guilt that acts like a shackle, which was the experience through the Mosaic law. Instead, through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit, obedience is transformed into a commitment that flows from genuine love for Jesus Christ of Nazareth, fulfilling His commandments (John 14:15). This aligns with the New Testament's teaching that Christ's commands are "not burdensome" (1 John 5:3, NKJV), establishing an internal motivation by grace rather than external demands through the written law.

Just putting this here what God said about His New Covenant. If anyone would know what His New Covenant is about would it not be God? Does one really believe only worshipping God a shackle? Not murdering our neighbor a shackle? The commandments God gave us that show us how to love Him and love our neighbor written by God personally a shackle, when He gave them because of love Exo20:6

God speaking:

Heb8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.


So it appears what changed is the location of where God's laws are, not the laws itself. Paul spelled it out for us as well.


2 Cor 3:3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God,

not the laws on scrolls written with ink, but written by the Spirit of the living God. Who wrote the Ten Commandments God or man?

Exo31:18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

What is the finger of God? The Spirit of the living God

Luke 11:20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Mat 12:28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

The Holy Spirit of Truth wrote the Ten Commandments

2 Cor 3:3 not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

The only law written on tablets of stone is the Ten Commandments and where did God's laws go? All Ten. Tablets of the heart, the New Covenant

Heb8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

The location changed, not God's Laws because God does not change, God keeping His promise of not altering His words Psa89:34, not a jot or tittle Mat5:18-19 The law of the Lord is perfect, His Testimonies sure Psa19:7 His laws are holy, just good Rom7:12 the law is not the issue, the heart of man is the issue, why God changed the location of His laws and placed them right in the heart of the issue, our hearts and minds, and we can keep them if we allow God to be God to define His own laws and not rebel Rom8:7-8 through what He will do if we cooperate with Him John14:15-18 John15:10

 

[Freth]

The Ten are binding for eternity (Isaiah 66:22-23), for if the Sabbath is indeed a perpetual covenant and a sign (Exodus 31:13-16), then the rest of the Ten are part of that covenant, written in the heart.

Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.​

The most compelling evidence to me is this. Jesus surrounds this statement with His authority.

Utmost Authority:​

​

Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.​

Commandment keepers enter the city and have access to the tree of life:​

​

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.​

Those who break the commandments are outside the city:​

​

Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.​

​

Utmost Authority:​

​

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.​

May is conditional upon commandment keeping.
What commandments? Verse 15 is quoting from the Ten, and is effectively summarizing the Ten in its scope.

The wicked love and make a lie. What lie? That the Ten commandments aren't binding, for they are breaking the Ten commandments. How do we know? The very definition of sin is transgression of the law of God, or lawlessness (1 John 3:4).

If the issue of the end time is one of worship, the worship commandments (1-4) are of specific importance, and are being magnified in the book of Revelation.

I would go further and say that the lie not only points to the Ten as a whole, but specifically to the fourth commandment, which was prophesied as being changed in Daniel 7:25, and did change in all of Christendom; not as a commandment of God (God's law doesn't change), but a tradition of men.

The standard for the Ten remains the same.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.​

Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.​

What happens to those outside the city?

Revelation 20:7-10 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.​

"And these godly instructions line up beautifully with the Ten Commandments". True.

Yes they do ... yet people severe out the 4th (or reinterpret it to mean something else) Remember it and keep it holy. God made the 7th day holy ... not the 1st day. God made the 7th day holy at creation.

We really, really need to read the entire context of Hebrews 8 about the New Covenant. It is entirely different from just picking out snippets.

Hebrews 8:7-13
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

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.

It is really important to understand the entire passage and know what the New Covenant delivered by Jesus Christ of Nazareth Himself actually is. In fact He change a commandment from " love your neighbor as yourself" to " love your neighbor as I have loved you". This is a higher level of love.

His words:
John 13:34–35 (NKJV) A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

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.

Yes, the context says plainly God would have never made a new covenant had they not broke the covenant because they did continue in His covenant the fault was with them, not the perfect law and Testimony of the Lord thy God Exo31:18 Psa19:7. God in His longsuffering instead of disregarding man, made a new covenant not based on what the people will do Exo 19:8 but what God will do Heb8:10 John14:15-18 if we cooperate with Him and not rebel against His laws Rom8:7-8. He plainly says He will write His laws- not new laws, again the law was never the issue Rom7:12 Psa19:7 why He promised not to alter the words of His covenant Psa89:34 not a jot or tittle Mat5:18-30 they just changed location and established on the better promise Heb8:6 of what He does. Only God can define His laws and He did so in the most awesome way written by He Himself. Exo20:6 Exo31:18 Deut4:13

It is really important to understand the entire passage and know what the New Covenant delivered by Jesus Christ of Nazareth Himself actually is. In fact He change a commandment from " love your neighbor as yourself" to " love your neighbor as I have loved you". This is a higher level of love.

His words:
John 13:34–35 (NKJV) A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

It doesn;t say a new commandment deletes all the others when Jesus already said to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God Mat4:4 not live by this one commandment only and profane everything else I said.

If its a higher standard of love, than we should not be lowering it to a lower standard by not keeping what God already defined as how to love Him and how to love our neighbor Exo20:6 1John5:2-3 A higher standard means keeping what already exists and raising it. This version sadly painfully lowers it that we can break the Testimony of God Exo31:18 and not live by His words that bring life and reconciliation. John6:63 Mat19:17-19 Rev22:14

Eph 6:1-2 says that "honor your father and mother" is the first commandment with a promise. That is only true in the unit of TEN.

James 2 says "to break one is to break them all" and then James gives examples from the Law of Moses including commands not in the TEN.

Except that Jesus fulfilled the 4th commandment in Him so our rest is no longer on one day but on our Lord and Savior.

 

[Hentenza]

God speaking:

No. This is your interpretation of scripture.

 

[Hentenza]

The Ten are binding for eternity (Isaiah 66:22-23), for if the Sabbath is indeed a perpetual covenant

​

The sabbath was not practiced until Moses and now the rest in on Jesus as the Lord of the sabbath nor on a day.

Rom 3:31 "do we make void the LAW by our faith? God forbid!! In fact we ESTABLISH the Law"

That same law where as Paul said "the first commandment with a promise is - Honor your father and mother" Eph 6:1-2

Heb 8 demands that the Law of God known in Jer 31:31-33 is what is STILL written on the heart under the New Covenant.

The sabbath was not practiced until Moses

Not true.

Adam did not "take God's name in vain"
Gen 6-7 shows that even the distinction between CLEAN vs UNCLEAN animals we observed before the flood
Gen 4 shows that the law against Murder declaring it to be sin, was known and enforced before the flood.

The Sabbath commandment itself points directly at Gen 2:2-3 for its origin.
Mark 2:27 Jesus points at Gen 1-2 speaking of both the "making of the Sabbath" for mankind, and the "making of mankind"
