You say you know Jesus? The Bible test for that is "Hereby we do know that we know Him IF we keep His commandments." "All Thy commandments are truth".

What do you mean by "without the law"?

I agree with you that it is entirely possible to keep the letter of the law without the spirit of the law. Why can't you agree with me that it is utterly impossible to keep the spirit of the law while breaking the letter of the law?

What line of reasoning would prompt you to ask such a question?

"The Word was God" and "the Word became flesh". Why don't you discover from that Word that the Jesus you've embraced is not the Jesus of Scripture?

OK, I agree that we are obligated to keep the Two Great Commandments, but I would like a direct answer to this question: Which of the Ten Commandments can we break and yet still be considered faithfully keeping the Two Great Commandments?

The Bible is the highest authority for the Christian. And the Bible repeatedly commands a believer to keep the "commandments" and often those "commandments" are excerpts from the "Ten Commandments", so how is it that people claim that the Ten Commandments are not for the believer?

Axehead, there's nothing fragile about the idea that Christians will NEVER be able to steal, or lie, or commit adultery. If Christians are not obligated to keep the Ten Commandments, then are we at liberty to break them?

You're wrong. James was speaking to a Christian audience, but since you cannot accept that Christians who kill become guilty of "thou shalt not kill", you are compelled to claim that James' words applied to everyone in the world except the very people he was speaking to. You seriously needs...

Yes, Christ was prophesied to "magnify the law and make it honorable" (lust is adultery, hating is murder, etc.) but somehow "magnify" is interpreted "do away with" by the majority of people who profess Christianity.

Why do you conclude from this that Jesus is dissuading us from searching the Scriptures when the text plainly commands us to "search the Scriptures"? What He is dissuading us from doing is searching the Scriptures in an attempt to find eternal life that is apart from faith in Jesus alone, of...

People get messed up by refusing to accept the plain words of Scripture. James is clear to his audience of Christians that killing renders the killer guilty of violating "thou shalt not kill". Paul was speaking to Gentile Romans when he said, "For not the hearers of the law are justified before...

Ever heard of Ted Turner? He claims he has no sin and no need of Jesus or salvation. True Christians heed Jesus' words, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments". Still haven't broken any of the Ten Commandments so far as I write to you this evening...because I love Jesus...and I want to keep His...

Axehead, the only requirement for salvation is that we accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. Obedience to the Ten Commandments is the evidence that He sits enthroned as such upon our heart. Disobedience to the Ten Commandments is the evidence that Satan sits enthroned upon our heart, regardless of...

James said, "If THOU..." meaning CHRISTIANS.

None. As soon as I woke up an hour ago, the devil tried to get me to break "Thou shalt not commit adultery" but a quick prayer to my Father was all that was needed because He is "able to keep us from falling and present us faultless". This is my plan for the rest of the day - to resist in the...

The "better covenant based on better promises" includes commandment keeping, bro. "A New Covenant will I make...I will write MY LAWS in their minds and on their hearts." Commandment keeping proves He's in your heart and commandment breaking proves He's not. (1 John 2:3-4 KJV)

Upp, if the Ten Commandments were not for Christians, then why does James say that if we break the 6th or 7th we "become transgressors of the law"??? It seems that your answer to the question "how come we are not at liberty to break the Ten Commandments that you claim we are not obligated to...

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at, but NOW commandmenth all men everywhere to repent".

I marvel how professed Christians question the salvation of we who claim that we must obey the Ten Commandments when Jesus Himself said that if any man shall do His commandments, and teach men so, the same shall be called "great" in the kingdom of heaven, but if any man shall break any one of...
