Do you agree that christians should keep the 10 Commandments?

[from scratch]

Of course.
They were all taught by word, and or, example throughout the NT.
God changes not.

While I accept Mal 3:6 which refers to God's character, I don't accept the idea that God's program (for lack of better expression) doesn't change - For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

A simple reading of the Scriptures will show this very thing. The promise to cut a new covenant is proof enough that there is indeed change. If one needs more there is Hosea 2:11. Even Jesus (God) testifies to the promise of Jeremiah as a curent fact. There are 3 witnesses to the fact by 3 gospels and the dozen at the scene.

No. Technically speaking, Christians aren't to keep the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are just part of a deal between God and Isreal. He rescued them and gave them their own land in exchange for them to be His holy people and keep His law which He gave them in the desert. Since the Old Covenant is abolished, all the terms on which it was based as well.

We are living in under a new better covenant now made between us (Jews/Gentiles) and God. Some of the terms are common with the old one -- some aren't. We are to keep the will of God and we often find the will of God in the Law, that is, when reading the old contract.

This is how I understand it.

Ten Commandments

Did you know that there are two different sets of ten commandments? They are the same commandments but they are split differently.

The Roman Catholic Church splits the last commandment about coveting your neighbours wife or property. Whereas everyone else, including the Anglican Church splits the first commandment about God.

Therefore, according to Roman Catholics the 5th commandment is: You shall not kill.

Whereas for everyone else the 6th commandment is: You shall not kill.

Do Anglican Catholics follow the Roman Catholic translation of the ten commandments or the Protestant translation?

Very good point. This is true.

Presumably those in Exodus 20?

Do we bind the conscience with rules, whereby the very 10 cause condemnation, and arouse sin?

So that that which we like to use to say the commandments are abolished is really telling us that it is not.
The 10 still stands!

The 10 exists within the New Commandment. Love. The person who fails to love another, fails to love God.

In the OT, a Law was worthy of death but under the NT, that death was occurred. We are part of that death through faith, just as we are part of the resurrection, through faith.

But faith is more than saying, I believe. It is taking on the new creation. Being something more than we were.

If we think that it is okay to hate another, we fool ourselves in believing that we have faith. There will be a time when all that we have done will be brought into the light.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Geneva]"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven {will enter.} [/FONT]

It is no longer about a list of do's and don'ts but being obedient to the Spirit which God gives his children.

though i do not agree with your total theology, and fusion, on this post only, the way it reads, i agree generally without total scrutiny.

Would it not be better to live in faith each day, the same way we got saved?

Why were the galatians doing well, until the law party came? 5:7

2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?

Then they were told to live As Abe...The Spirit came after the age of law, it is the gospel.


13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

Is there a difference in behavior that appears similar to keeping the 10 Cs and actually keeping the 10 Cs? Desirable behavior is never to be condemned whatever causes it.

I hear ya cowboy.

Those who are led by the Spirit, are the mature sons of God. Rules are for children.


4:1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.
