Do you agree that christians should keep the 10 Commandments?

[Lysimachus]

Nope! No more than being led of the Spirit is obedience to the law that we've been delivered from.

The Spirit is the agent that transforms the heart to obey the law out of love. It is true that the Spirit of God delivers us from the law.

But does deliverance of the law mean we do not need to keep it?

Of course not. Remember, the Law's job is to point out sin, and condemn the sinner. When you have been delivered from the law, it means you have been delivered from its condemning power. Not delivered from keeping it. No matter how you slice it, cut it, or dice it, living in the Spirit does not give you ANY license to Kill, Steal, Commit Adultery, Lie, Dishonor your parents, or Take God's name in vain. You will be in harmony with these principles if you are living in the Spirit. And I believe this includes the 4th commandment. You cannot be saved if you steal (and continue to do so). That's just the bottom line. No matter "how much" you may think you are "in the Spirit". If you are in the Spirit, your fruit will show--and that fruit has to do with obedience to God's Law.

Obedience to God's Law = Deliverance from It.

Why was the covenant superseded, because the law needed to be removed?

Because God promised to do such and it is necessary for redemption.

Because Jesus died?

Wasn't the purpose of His death to redeem us?

Because the gentles were included?

How were the Gentiles included in the covenant made with the COI? It was made exclusively with them according to Moses.

Why?

Do you need more reasons?

Let's see, He love His father, He did not steal, lie, covet. He did not even have sex so He could not commit adultery. Ya know, yep He kept all 10 commandments for He kept the Sabbath too.
But we do not have to do like Him or do we?

Looks like I get the honors of closing this thread and causing version 2 to happen.

Now are those the commandments of Jesus or the commandments of His Father? If they are the commandments of His Father what are Jesus' commandments?
