Hello woobadooba.Just because someone emphasizes the importance of keeping the Ten Commandments of God, it doesn't mean he or she is in bondage to a salvation by works theology.
The nonsense of accusing people of being legalistic for being in favor of keeping God's Ten Commandments, needs to stop.
Instead of jumping to conclusions about that person's relationship with God, ask questions for clarification.
Yes, we are saved by grace through faith, not by works (Eph. 2:8-9); but let's not forget that we were created for good works (v. 10).
When I look at God's Ten Commandments I see something good, not evil.
Hello Dkh587.Funny how people will use Paul to teach against obedience to God's law(which includes the 10 commandments), yet Paul taught from the 10 commandments & the law(Torah)
Ephesians 6:2-3
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Exodus 20:12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which יהוה your God giveth thee.
This is because so many still fail to understand what it means to really be a Christian andThe nonsense of accusing people of being legalistic for being in favor of keeping God's Ten Commandments, needs to stop.

I never said that we are.Hello woobadooba.
Where in the New Testament is it written, you are under the law?
Your contradicting Acts 15.
What evidence do you have to prove commandment keepers aren't looking at Jesus?The problem here is one of focus. A Christian's gaze is to be upon Christ, not the ten Commandments.
Indeed, but did you know that these commands are a part of the Old Testament?Dear woobadooba. Jesus gave us a good answer in Matthew 22: 35-40: " Jesus said there are two Commandments which say it all: The first and great one is: Love God with all thy hearts, with all thy souls, and with all thy minds. The second is like it: love thy neighbour as thyself."
What sense is there in talking about a "Law" by which to live if there are no commands to observe?circumcision of the flesh (OT) versus circumcision of the heart (NT).
The outward living of the Law (Israel as a holy nation) versus the inward living, of the Law, by the Spirit, (Israel, not Judah, becoming the Spirit-filled Church).
What evidence do you have to prove commandment keepers aren't looking at Jesus?
I don't see this statement in Scripture. What do you mean by, "Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law"?Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law.
