See so many know the bible so few know Jeus. theer is a big differecne to knowing and knowing about.Learn the Bible and learn how distinguish between the Mosaic sacrificial system, and God's law the ten commandments then maybe you will have something relevant to post in reply!
The ten commandments cannot be kept by man? What kind of ridiculous statement is that? Certainly they can be kept by man..what kind of a quack taught you otherwise? If you cannot keep them, then you can kiss you salvation goodbye....NetChaplain said:No doubt everyone's intention in this thread is sincere and thanks for your replies, but concerning the Decalogue , Scripture uses a hyperbole when it appears to be instructing to keep the ten commandments in the law, because they cannot be kept by man. Nor were they ever intended for any but the children of Israel. Plus all the law (esp. the Decalogue) has been fulfilled and ended in and by Christ (Rom 10:4).
All Bible commentators have the same opinion about nearly all things:
“Keep the commandments”; that is, perfectly: he must do not only one good thing, but all the good things the law requires; he must not be deficient in any single action, in anyone work of the law, either as to matter, or manner of performance; everything must be done, and that just as the Lord in His law has commanded it.
“Our Lord answers according to the tenor of the covenant of works, under which this man was; and according to the law of God, which requires perfect obedience to it, as a righteousness, and a title to life; and in case of the least failure, curses and condemns to everlasting death.
“This Christ said, in order to show, that it is impossible to enter into, or obtain eternal life by the works of the law, since no man can perfectly keep it; and to unhinge this man from off the legal foundation on which he was, that he might drop all his dependencies on doing good things, and come to Him for righteousness and life” John Gill
God's blessings to your Families!
Why do you think Jesus came,The ten commandments cannot be kept by man? What kind of ridiculous statement is that? Certainly they can be kept by man..what kind of a quack taught you otherwise? If you cannot keep them, then you can kiss you salvation goodbye
The intention of "keeping the Law" means not only all the will (law) of God but also performing it perfectly, i. e. with a sinless soul, which only can allow for one to never break any of the Law. This only Christ did and no other, nor was the Law intended to be kept by man, in order to leave us with only one choice, dependence on Christ's goodness and holiness to the Father, of which those born again can only perform within the new nature, but not the old nature which still occasions our lives.heretoeternity said:The ten commandments cannot be kept by man?

God said in Hebrews He would write them on our hearts and minds, and He will be our God and we will be His people...
My sympathies to you for missing the boat so to speak!
