God's TEN Commandments: Keep them? or break them?

Just click on a faith icon that has SDA on it. A legalist is one who requires something specifically in regard to behavior usually applied to salvation. Exactly. Now pay attention to what is being said here in the forums.
Of the Christian, nothing more or less than what He requires of all, that we perfectly conform to His commandments.
Which are....

The construct that some here have declared war on the Ten Commandments is entirely your doing. No pro grace person has done what you suggest we're doing. This has been shown to you with supporting Bible passages you simply twist or throw out.

You may have read this post on page 9 of this thread -- This is the typical sort of thing that an SDA would post - so a number of people here opposed to the Commandments of God here will not like it.
That's an unsupportable opinion. No one here is opposed to the Commandments of God. The deal at best is you claim the Christian is obligated to a covenant that has no jurisdiction. The Christian isn't an Israelite nor do we become part of Israel in some way. There aren't any Jews nor Greeks (Gentiles) In Christ Jesus according to Gal 3:28.

The law (Old Covenant) was never given to the world (Gentile) per Moses through who God issued that covenant. To say that God didn't include the Gentile (whole world) without becoming part of Israel in the New Covenant is a lie uncovered in Acts.

But you do ignore some of the 4th commandment, which means you actually don't keep it. I'm talking specifically about v 11.

What part of Ex 20:11 makes you reject God's commandment?

in Christ,

That is a real change. What has happened since I was here last?

The law (Old Covenant) was never given to the world (Gentile)

Until you read Is 66:23.

Until you read Isaiah 56.

Until you read Mark 2:27

Points so obvious that many Sunday Sources get this Bible detail and admit it to the world.

in Christ,

Bob

Did I say something wrong? Beats me where did I say I forsook grace in favor of the law. Would you mind pointing that out, please.

Really I think that it means until one reads and takes EGW's view.

Almost all threads on this section of the board are in the form of 'War against God's Ten Commandments --- or keep them".

But the good news is that there is another thread - about "Bend the Ten Commandments or keep them".

No one keeps the law anyway, John chapter 7 verse 19 Jesus said has not Moses given you the law yet none of you keeps it.
1 John chapter 1 verse 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
James chapter 2 verse 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.


1 Timothy chapter 1 verse7, 8
They want to be teachers of the law but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.

Galatians chapter 3 verses 24,25,23

So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

The Good News is I don't have to worry with them at all according to the Gospel not forgetting the prophets.

Will the obsolescence of the 10 Commandments by the New Covenant result in lawlessness and Anarchy as the Sabbatarians hysterically and dishonestly insinuate, with their absolutely-deceitful slogan "War against the Ten Commandments?"

Hardly.

Rest assured that most (with the exception of the Sabbath) of the Ten Commandments are alive and well, in one form or another in the civil and criminal legal systems throughout the United States. There is NO danger whatsoever that Christianity's embrace of the New Covenant is going to result in the abandonment of the basic principles contained within the Ten commandments. And your legal jeopardy in the modern court system will be assured irregardless of your views on the Ten Commandments if you go ahead and murder, commit false witness, Adultery, theft or any of the rest of the prohibited actions. Virtually every court in the United States enforces the Commandment against murder found in the Decalogue: They are more than happy and willing to enforce one or more of the 80,000 some laws against Homicide contained in Federal, State or local statutes. Should you choose to commit Adultery, there are specific criminal and civil codes that will rush into play, making your day in divorce court extremely expensive and painful. Should you choose to steal, there are about 500,000 various laws throughout the United States that will make you regret your behavior very quickly. Additionally, there are literally millions more laws that prohibit many forms of immoral activity left surprisingly unmentioned by the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments, by omission, ALLOW and PERMIT thousands of types of behavior that are prohibited or discouraged by Christianity.

As a Christian, the fact that the Ten Commandments are no longer binding on you doesn't get you particularly far in the real world: there are plenty of US Laws covering all of the same offenses, and then some. The only REAL issue is whether the Jewish Sabbath still applies, and Christianity has a seamless 2,000 year history of denouncing Sabbath Keeping as an anti-Christian heresy. Sabbatarianism is simply just reinvention of several brands of old heresies all dressed up and modernized with new multi-media presentations.

So for Sabbatarians to issue their general ignorant and deceitful smear about "being at war against the Ten Commandments" is just demagoguery of the lowest and most dishonest kind.
