Jesus Christ Fulfilled the Ceremonial Law given to Moses as it pointed forward to him.

You need to study the sanctuary which is a shadow of the Heavenly Sanctuary where Jesus is ministering as our High Priest.

James 2:18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

James 2:20
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

While it is true that Paul said that circumcision has no value, what matters of obeying the commands of God (1 Corinthians 7:19), it is also true that he said that circumcision has much value in every way (Romans 3:1-2), so the issue is that circumcision has no innate value, but that its value is entirely derived from whether we obey God's Law (Romans 2:25). Furthermore, the way to recognize that a Gentile has a circumcised heart is by observing their obedience to the Law (Romans 2:26), which is the same way to tell for a Jew (Deuteronomy 10:12-16).

In Matthew 22:36-40, the reason why the greatest two commands are the greatest is because they summarize all of the other commands and the reason why all of the other commands hang on the greatest two is because they are all examples of what it looks like to love God and our neighbor. For example, obedience to the command to help the poor looks exactly like obedience to command to love our neighbor, so the law of love does not replace the other commands, but rather it is the essence of them. In other words, Jesus expressed his love for God and his neighbor through his actions and what that looked like was complete obedience to the Mosaic Law, so that is how we are to love as he loved.

While the Ten Commandments are a good starting point, Jesus taught obedience to more than just ten of God's commandments both by word and by example, and verses like Matthew 5:17-19 do not specify that they are only speaking about the Ten Commandments, but rather the phrase "Law and the Prophets" refers to everything in the Law and the Prophets.

And? What does that have to do with my post?

He's speaking of faith that works by love.

Not faith that works through the law of sin and death. /no such thing

With that said....He is not saying faith looks to strive and keep laws....why because the law was already fullfilled by Christ.

On the other hand, faith in Christ is to do[work] His will.
This is actually the faith that works through love...and the faith that works through love is the type of faith that delivers....another words the faith that works by love intends to follow....it intends to do[work] the will of the Father.

Do you keep the law of the Sabbath according to Moses which says -

Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Exodus 31:15


Please don’t give me a bunch of other scriptures, just answer the question.

Here is the example:


Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
Numbers 15:32-36

is this the will of the Father?
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Is that a yes or no to the question I asked.


Do you keep the law of the Sabbath according to Moses.

Here’s the example. -

And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

HEBREWS.8:10 = 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.
.
.
How is God going to put His Law in the believers' mind and write them on their hearts if the believers do not know the Law, which consists of 613 Old Testament laws or Moses laws.?

For Jewish Christians, God can easily do the above. Not so for many Gentile Christians who had previously led mostly lawless lives from childhood as Gentiles(cf; ACTS.15:24-29).
....... In fact, there are false teachings that deem the teaching of obeying God's Law for earthly blessings as a demonic doctrine - even though the obeying of God's Law does not save one from hell at death.

John 14:15



Corinth77777:
[And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.John 6:40



If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:21]

Corinth77777:
This is a statement of fact...


It's not saying if you love me do this for me...

Rather
Interpreted as the source of the keeping is the loving

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Corinth77777:
Love /knowledge is an interactive relationship.
Therefore, if I have a relationship with Him it makes me want to do what He wants[keep His commandments]

Recall 1 John 2:4

"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

Now why do you think this is? It's because this is what truly knowing[having a relationship],coming in contact with Him will make you want to do. [Keep his commandments]

That's why the scripture:

Gal 5:6

"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."

I am trying to understand what your saying. Are you saying that the 10 Commandments are not a requirement for Christians today or are they?

The 10 Commandments are a Requirement of Christians today in the aspect, they were never done away with.

The Requirement aspect of the 10 Commandments with regard to the Christian, a Christians Salvation is not dependent upon the keeping of them, having had them Fulfilled and then Applied to our heart, we in essence have kept them In Christ.

Our Salvation is by Grace through Faith, not in the keeping of the Law.

We are dead to the Law of Sin and Death.

John 14;31 also confirms usage:
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

The meaning :
5083. threw tereo, tay-reh'-o
"will keep"


Synonym

5083 expresses watchful care and is suggestive of present
possession, 5442 indicates safe custody and often implies assault
from without; 5083 may mark the result of which 5442 is the means.





from teros (a watch; .; to guard ., , by keeping the eye upon; .. to note (. to maintain); ., hold fast, keep.

OPEN FOR FRIENDLY CHRISTIAN DISCUSSION.

What are your thoughts? ARE God's 10 Commandments ABOLISHED like some think and no longer the standard for Christian living?[/QUOTE]

The Ten Commandments are far inferior to Christ's standards for Christian living.

Someone perfectly keeping the Ten Commandments is nowhere close to meeting Christ's standards.

The Pharisees whom Jesus cursed were keeping the Ten Commandments.

The person who perfectly keeps the Ten Commandments is failing miserably at being a Christian.

All of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalms 119:160), so none of them have been abolished. Sin is disobedience to any of God's commands, not just 10 of them. In 1 John 3:4, it doesn't specify that it is speaking only about ten of God's laws.

So how do you handle Hebrews 8?

Without the law it is impossible to sin.

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Romans 5:19

Adam sinned without the law.


For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law. Romans 2:12

Adam had a law, a single law...which he broke.
