What is the best "way" to, if possible, to work toward of follow in keeping the commandments...?

What does keeping the commandments mean to you...? What does it look like...?

And/if because if you do have a different view, then, "What is it, basically or IOW's...?"

Or some of you might think keeping the commandments is not the main point, and if so, could you explain that maybe...?

Or some of might think it/that is not the point at all, and if so, could you explain that maybe...? Or tell us what is the point then maybe...?

Is is possible to keep the commandments or not...? And, if not, should we pursue or work toward keeping them at all...? And then if so, or if that answer is yes, then, "how"...?

Comments...?

God Bless!

First - move to the country away from the city and become a hermit.

Second - disconnect from the grid, avoiding modern conveniences.

One very effective (NOT ONLY POSSIBLE, but actually works)
way (the BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN), is yet rarely seen, is as the BIBLE SAYS, for the parent(s) to "raise up a son in the way he should go".
This carries with it the Creator's Promise that "when he is older, he will not depart far from it"....

Matthew 7
12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.

Mark 12:33
And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

That is one , or more, commandments, yes, but the other commandments also are necessary, like repenting of perversion and never , no not ever tolerating perversion of people's bodies contrary to God's Word, or of their minds, destroying their souls and teaching people to sin contrary to all Scripture.

That doesn't matter at all here.
As Jesus said to those who asked about the tower of Siloam killing some people,
Jesus said it was not for sin that the tower fell on and killed them,
but still,
unless each one of those He was speaking to repented, they would all likewise perish.

If previous historical posts supporting perversion/ homosexuality as okay, with neighbor(s) also who were/are? homosexual, were repented of, then good .
If not, then repentance is still a requirement, yes?

Only assuming one has sinned against God. Which is never your call.

James 4:17
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it,

for him it is sin.

And Jesus was correct, The Father has no interest in judging the living.
The same with the rest of us.

Everything Yahuweh says is sin, is sin, and no person can change that.
Perversion is always sin, and the penalty of perversion is death.
Yahuweh says that those who silently see and approve of such sin, and do not speak out against it, will suffer the same punishment as those who commit the transgression. They do not escape.

What no scripture? Common ploy. No scripture, no interest.

Not for other...or for others to judge, or even for God to judge before death...

Hebrews 9:27
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,

Those who judge are lost.

The best way is to seek. If you seek, you will find. When Christ comes to you as a thief in the night, you will be changed so that through Christ you will not be plagued by the flesh. That doesn’t mean you will never sin again. However, you will be protected from yourself and the world. With Christ as your guide, you will be changed in a very substantial way. A man sins when he is drawn away of his own lust. No one makes anyone sin.

Perversion is always sin, and the penalty of perversion is death.

The same with any sin, my friend. We are all in the same rowboat.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

No we are not in the same rowboat.
We all once were dead in sin and transgressions, but some of us repented and no longer approve of the sin of homosexuality, lies, adultery, thievery, idolatry, greed and so forth.
Your posts showed in the past that you stated no one had to repent of those sins,
thus remaining dead in sin and in trespasses , separated from Christ and from the true believers who did repent and were immersed in His Name to be saved.

Without repentance, as shown from your own posts in this and other forums for years, there is no forgiveness of sin, for you nor for the people living next door to you continuing in sinful lives without repentance.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

1 John 1:8-10
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Psalm 51:5
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

Repentance is indeed needed.

Every time we fall. Turn to God and repent. Because, we 'all' fall in this life. Nobody is perfect except for Jesus.

We were all once the same kind of sinners, lost in the world.

Then a few of us repented and became new creations, no long continuing to love sin.

If you stop sinning, stop loving sinning, and turn to the Father in true repentance,
then
you also may be saved from your sin.
But if not, if there is no repentance, then there is no forgiveness.

Both the Ten Commandments and the Law of Liberty are based on the eternal law of God to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and strength, and love your neighbor.

The difference is in how we keep each:

The Ten Commandments - with our carnal nature - weak
The Law of Liberty - the power of the Holy Spirit.

The whole point of having the commandments, the moral law, and the teaching of Christ is to show that there is no way that we can comply with them. If a person is to depend on these in order to be saved, or to live a successful Christian life, he needs to do what Paul said, "The person who decides to depend on the Law shall live by it". The problem is that one infraction of the commandments, moral law, and the commandments of Christ leads to condemnation for the person who is attempting to live by the law in order to be justified.

All the posts that tell us that we should comply with the commandments of Christ, get free from sin, do the right thing, obey the commandments, etc, etc, and so on, ad nauseum, have the sole effect of making a believer feel condemned and depressed, because every genuine believer knows that no matter how hard one tries, he cannot comply with the law without fault.

So to tell people that to be good believers they have to get the victory over sinful habit patterns, faults and shortcomings, to to preach condemnation to them. No wonder so many good believers feel like giving it all up!

The truth is that there is no way in the world that we are going to be perfect in holiness. We are always going to trip and fall into temptation and have to confess our fault and receive continual forgiveness from God.

So what is the answer? Total faith, trust, and confidence in Christ. It is by looking to Christ, trusting in His righteousness instead of our own, that will allow the Holy Spirit in us to form us into the persons whom God wants us to be. We cannot reform ourselves. We cannot get rid of our sinful habit patterns by ourselves, we need the Holy Spirit to do that work in us, and He can only do that as we put our trust in Christ, be led by Him from day to day, seek Him in prayer and in the Word.

When we turn our eyes and heart toward Christ, and away from ourselves, and stop navel gazing and worrying about our spiritual state, we find over time that sinful habits that once had us sinning, repenting, sinning, repenting, start to fall away from us, and we somehow lose interest as these habits become weaker and weaker until they disappear altogether - as the Holy Spirit works to conform us to the image of Christ.

I am waiting for the clincher to come.......the Saturday SABBATH.....

Paul says in Galatians that those who observe specific holy days are trying to continue in the flesh instead of the Spirit. He specifically mentions Sabbaths, showing that those who are adamant about keeping a Sabbath day to remain accepted of God is not in the Spirit but in the flesh, and Paul wonders if he has wasted his time and effect in giving them the true gospel when they have departed from it. He says that those who are in the flesh and trying to observe special holy days, among other things, have no further interest in Christ. Christ is ineffective for them because they have departed from Him.
