Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

I have no idea why you feel the need to continue this. See James 2:10 and I think you should move on . Best wishes always

It is extremely important that you share with us how you came to that conclusion of sabbath breaker is as guilty as a murderer.

If we are in danger of judgment I want to know so that I am not found guilty of disobeying God and the saturday sabbath.

I've known some who insist all sin is equal in being a great affront to God.
A shoplifter is as guilty in sin as is a murderer.

It can't be substantiated by any scriptures I've sought out. However,that is what some believe.

If that helps.

James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

This speaks of the "whole law", meaning the law of Moses - correct???

Under the law of Moses, someone who stole would have to make restitution but never be put to death as being equal to murder.

Do you believe you should keep the 10 commandments?
Do you believe that all fall short ?
Do you believe that God forgives?
Do you believe that God knows what is in your heart?
Do you really need anything more than this to come to your decision regarding the Sabbath?
What I believe is of no consequence to you. It is what I believe what the Scriptures tell me. I am very comfortable with my decision on the 10. I am sure you will be able to decide for yourself whether you should honor The Sabbath or not. Remember, you have access to His Word and also to the Holy Spirit who will never steer you wrong.

But maybe you might do your own study on James 2:10-11 and perhaps other related verses. Best wishes…

Can you pick and choose which of the 10 you want to obey? Is there anywhere in scripture that God allows you to select from His 10 Commandments and treat as a “cafeteria plan?”

If God wrote them with His own finger do you think they were important to Him ?

To God, breaking any one of HIS 10 purposefully and having no intention of repenting is telling Him that you are willing to obey only 9 of His commandments. It doesn’t have to be the 4th, it could be the 6th or it could be the 2nd where the Catholics contend they can have / worship idols.

Meaning, anyone could select only those commandments they want to obey… that is where James 2:10-11 comes in. They are not his 10 suggestions are they?

AGREE = We cannot pick and choose which of the 10 we are to obey.

Where did you get the murderer equivalent to skipping out on a saturday?

Is there a particular passage or verse in the bible where you derived this from?
If so please post it for us.

Thank You

Well, you have made me highly suspicious that you may be involved in things such a OT religious nature that you have separated from the Body of Christ and are going backwards to the Law.

I said all this already. Read post @143 again. enough.

Actually your last post is inferring I'm a sinner and a liar.

You really need to grasp the scripture references in Post #146 for your continued spiritual growth and development.
