Why do most christians not follow the 10 commandments?

[Joelthe vicious]

Ga 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
Col 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

Yes, "For _I_ through the law am dead, dead to the law, that I might live unto God."

It's not 'For the _law_ is dead to me, that I may live away from God.'

So Colossians 2:20, "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances", ordinances and affectations : OF: "the WORLD" --nothing to do with the Law of God Old or New Testament!

Yes, "For _I_ through the law am dead, dead to the law, that I might live unto God."

The law was our killer.
Romans 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

'The law was our killer.' Yes, and, NO! We were our own killer; our SIN was our killer; our TRANSGRESSION of God's Law-of-prohibition-unto-life was our destroyer. Don't and you will, live; do, and you will, surely, DIE! Sounds familiar doesn't it?

So, instead of having emboldened as you have, '7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.', what a difference would it make if you emboldened as follows, '7:11 For sin taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.'

man, I don't want to sacrifice animals and burn them.

Yeah you get arrested for that nowadays.

I’d like to keep the sabbath but I’d have to change my line of work and from what I see in the scriptures the law was written to keep two commandments. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love each other as we love ourselves. Jesus taught that it was ok to harvest grain on the Sabbath and it’s ok to disregard the dietary laws. I know the dietary laws aren’t the 10 commandments but they are still commandments of God. The apostles met in Jerusalem and determined that circumcision isn’t necessary which was also a command of God. God also commanded that we must stone anyone who doesn’t keep the Sabbath and I haven’t heard of anyone who keeps the Sabbath today stoning anyone. So I’m going to keep honoring God and praying for forgiveness and stick to Jesus’ 2 commandments the best I can. Sure I’m going to keep failing but I think the most important thing is I never give up trying. God bless.

I happen to believe in the truth, that all Christians follow the law of God, Love.

Do you think Christ loved to sacrifice an animal to cover Adam and Eve with in Eden? There started the pains of death for Our Passover Lamb of God!

Why do most christians not follow the 10 commandments?

That isn't even possible.
Who blames Christ for wickedness?
Christian = Christ.

 

[betterorworse]

heard.

There is only one 'follow(ing) the law of God, Love' and that is following Jesus Christ. Not following our human impulses of 'love'.

 

[betterorworse]

Love is one. God is One.

Just joy.

Never! 'Christian = Christ' is blasphemous INSULT to Jesus Christ "my Lord and my God".

Christlike isn't bad.

 

[betterorworse]

Who claims to be a Christian and rejects Christ?

 

[Joelthe vicious]

Love is one. God is One.

Just joy.

God is Yahweh Elohim Man-of-War Almighty JUDGE the Terrible to the hedonist.

That's better.

God is already God. man.

It won't help you one bit. No one escapes God's Law. God have mercy on us through Jesus Christ our Lord our love our life our Law our "God who commanded - the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ". 2Corinthians 4:6.

 

[betterorworse]

Gods will alone be done.

How can I be a Christian if I reject Christ in my works, my intent's? I can't.
