God tells me to let him handle it. He has told me that I am called into faith. Now, it is up to me to show that I trust him to lead me to where he wants me to go.
Do you have faith enough to let go of trying to do things yourself and let God do it for you?

We are not communicating. Please focus.
Let proposition P1 = God tells Yardgog to keep the 1st Commandment.
True?

No. I keep the 1st commandment, now, because his Holy Spirit leads me to love our Father. But, I didn't understand that when I was younger. I thought that I loved God but I really had faith in myself. That led me to Job's experience and then I learned Faith's rightful place.

I am having trouble understanding your reply.
Let proposition P1 = God tells Yardgog to keep the 1st Commandment.
Is P1 true or false? This is the 2nd time I have asked. Please answer with one of the following:
1. true
2. false
3. don't know
4. don't understand.

God does not tell me to keep or not to keep the 1st Commandment.
What "I" do isn't what is important. What God does within me is always the key.

Yes
That is why I put God before myself. Many people believe it is their duty to obey the 10, but that is putting oneself before God. It is our place to surrender to God and let his Holy Spirit lead us.

We are to love God with our whole being. We cannot do this without the Holy Spirit leading us to love.

I believe that you have already quoted Matthew 22:37. Why should I repeat it?

Maybe I can try again. I don't think about the 10 Commandments because that is not "The Way" to salvation. That is why the early Church was called the Way. Jesus is the only Way that we can be saved.
Me saying that I don't try to keep any of the Commandments doesn't mean that I break any of them. I am not obedient because I focus on not sinning. I am obedient because I follow the Holy Spirit and that Spirit teaches me how to love so that I find it abhorrent to steal, or covet, or to not honor my parents, etc..
