Do Christians Still Have to Keep the Ten Commandments?

[drwn]

100 times YES, YES and YES, including the 4th one which says, 'Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy (on the 7th day, Saturdays) . Are children still to obey their patents? YES, YES and YES. Even in the last book and chapter of the bible, we are admonished to keep God's commandments. Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

[silverearth]

Jesus kept all 10 commandments including the 4th - The Sabbath. Yes Christians are keeping a false Sabbath being Sun (worship) Day as setup by the papacy yet they use incorrect arguments to defend this tradition. I encourage those willing to look with balanced eyes at the opposing view.

[angelmd]

Amen. Jesus said if you want to obtain eternal life, keep the Commandments and he meant it. God bless you brothers!

[impactdaworld]

I love YHWH, I love Yeshua, filled with the Ruach Hakodesh obtain the grace to keep the commandments to the best of my ability. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👐👐🎺 🎺

Per Yeshua:
Mat 5:19 - “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them,  he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20 - “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
Rev 22:14 - "Blessed are those who do His (the Father's) commandments,  that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."

Saying the Father's commandments are obsolete is a false teaching!
Yeshua IS the Word made flesh.
Rev 19:13 - "He (Yeshua) was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God."
Jhn 1:14 - "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
By saying Yah's commandments are obsolete, you are saying Yeshua is obsolete. Big mistake! Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Matthew 5
17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The problem with Christianity’s teaching of the Law being “done away” is Christians don’t know what Law Paul is speaking of when he says we are no longer under the Law but under Grace.

The Law he is speaking of is the Sacrificial Law. This Law only took place when a sin is committed. What is sin? Sin is the breaking of YAH’s The wages for sin is death, so when someone broke YAH’s Law someone or an animal had to be put to death.

UNTIL YAHUSHA The Messiah came and became the sacrificial Passover Lamb that ended the need for sacrifices and offerings as Daniel 9:27 prophecy stated.

Now we no longer are under the Sacrificial Law, because YAHUSHA redeemed us, and the time that we have to repent before the Judgement is Grace. Just like a Grace Period.

It is SO rare to see someone answer this question with Truth, in alignment with Scripture. The 10 Commandments are FOREVER. (Joshua 22:5) They are for everybody. (Deut. 29:14-15, 29) Jesus obeyed ALL of the 10 Commandments. (John 15:10) We are to live as Jesus lived. (1 John 2:6) Jesus' followers obeyed ALL of the 10 Commandments long after His death, including the 4th (Saturday Sabbath) Commandment which they obeyed immediately after His death on the Cross. (Luke 23:54-56)

God bless you.

1 John 2:4 “he that saith “i know Him” and keepeth not his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him”.

[MrCaza]

Gal 3....the Law was our Tutor, meaning it guarded God's people. The 10C was part of the Law. We are not longer under the Tutor....the guard

“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (verse 19).

John 14:21
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them: is he that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will show mine own self to him

Law and punishment was against harmful behaviour. But law and punishment could not stop harmful behaviour.

Serving the law was from "the flesh" and was impotent and weak through "the flesh". Thus law was "death".

Love was from "the Spirit" and was potent and strong through the Spirit. Thus Love was "life".

Law is against harm but it cannot stop harm. Love produces good and it stops harm. That's why those who are love need no law.

[lawrence]

The text in Galatians, "born of a woman, born under the law" consists of two phrases in apposition. It is not saying "born of a woman AND born under the law", but "born of woman, WHICH NECESSARILY MEANS born under the law". Thus it goes on to say "that He might redeem them that are under the law", which is in reference to all flesh.

Through faith you establish Gods law, failure to do so will see you fall from grace. A sinner is a law breaker and a righteous man walks in Gods righteousness through Yeshua our Messiah.

One of the biggest misunderstandings in God's Word is the artificial division between what we call "The New Testament" and "The Old Testament". Neither of these phrases are spoken of in God's word but was introduced with the various translations several hundred years ago. There is no division in God's Word nor is there any degrees of importance within God's Word. It is all from God and holds the same weight regardless of when it was written down. There is the "Old Covenant" and the "New Covenant" though.

What many Christians fail to see is that at the core of God's Kingdom is HIS LAW which will also be present in Heaven and will always be. Without it you have Sin. 1 John 3:4 states "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." When did the first Sin take place? Answer: In the Garden of Eden. Eve in her heart doubted God and put herself above God so she broke the first Commandment of the Law of God. She also broke the 10th Commandment by coveting what was not hers which led to her breaking the 8th Commandment by stealing that which was not hers. This Law of God has always existed since creation. It is the Law of God's Kingdom. When these laws were broken this planet was expelled from God's kingdom. Because the children of Israel living in sin or Egypt, had forgotten God's Law they were brought out of Egypt into the desert and God wrote HIs Law on two tables of stone. God always wanted His people to have His law written in their hearts but the Children of Israel were rebellious because of their experience in Sin (Egypt) so He reminded them by writing them on stone to show that they were permanent. This is very important to understand this. God didn't just make up these Laws for the Children of Israel at this time in the wilderness. They had existed and Noah kept the Law, Abraham kept the Law as did Jacob but only a few generations later they had forgotten God's Law.

In the 40 years in the wilderness Moses wrote the Mosaic laws which pertain to the governing of the coming Nation of Israel when they were to set up their new nation in the land of Canaan. There were many different types of laws many of which are still present in our modern western judicial system today. Laws on property, laws on dealing with divorce, etc. These were laws specifically for this new nation but there are many wise laws here that we borrow and make for a better society. The Nation of Israel was to be an example to the rest of the world and it still is today. There was also the Law of Ordinances which were only to be practiced by the Nation of Israel that pertain to sacrifice. This is the law that was nailed to the cross. These laws pointed to the true sacrifice, everything else was just a rehearsal for the true Lamb of God and these were written on parchment and placed on the side and not in the Ark of the Covenant like God's Law was, meaning this was temporary until it was fulfilled at the cross.

There were other laws that pertained to health and diet. Many will say that they are not in affect anymore. While they are not salvational they are important. God gave these health laws to His people not to try to penalize or deny them, but so that they would live healthy and longer than if they were to break these laws. God didn't want His people eating unclean foods such as pork or shellfish. Not that God wanted to hold back some tasty delicacies but that unclean meats would create health problems. Shellfish are bottom feeders and eat the dead carcasses of other animals. They are not fit for human consumption and God didn't want His people to eat animals that were full of toxins and diseases that could lead to poor health and a shorter life span. God didn't identify these unclean animals to deny His people a tasty meal but was looking out for their well being. Many Christians will point to Acts 10:9-16 as a lifting of the health laws God put in place for our well being without understanding the context. The Jews regarded the Gentiles the same way they saw unclean animals and in Peter's vision he was being told to not fear going to the Gentiles. Why would God forbid eating unclean animals then later decide it is okay to eat them? Did God make a mistake in the first place or are the same health laws in affect today as they were in the days of Moses? It really is selfish to view this as God forbidding us to eat unclean foods like shell fish and pork and now it is perfectly fine to eat these things. What a cruel God for with holding these tasty things from us but now we are glad God changed His mind and we are justified in our diets. Today much of our health problems are directly related to our eating habits. Much like the laws of physics which God created too, pertain to us today. Take the law of gravity for instance. If you jump off of a building you may not think this law doesn't apply to you but it does. It may not be a salvational issue but it does have consequences.

When talking about the law(s) in scripture it is very important to distinguish which law(s) are we talking about. The Law of God (The 10 Commandments) are not Mosaic laws. They are God's everlasting Law and the foundation of His Kingdom. In heaven everyone will gladly be keeping all of God's laws even the 4th Commandment. No one will be besmirching any of God's Laws in His Kingdom like you hear so many Christians here on earth do today and deep inside hate God's Laws and are always looking for an excuse to ignore or do away with them just like Satan suggested to Eve in the Garden.

[sydfreed]

Of course you do unless you don't understand scripture and plain English because Jesus said himself that if you love me you will keep my commandments. 1john 3:6 ESV.

[pianoman]

Thank you..this is clear to me now. God bless.

[graceplace]

Galatians 4:4-5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem (save, justify, vindicate, offset, retrieve, recover, get back, repossess, rescue, buy back, to purchase the freedom of, to ransom, to atone for) them that were under the law.

[EvansMuchetu]

Can anyone show me where in the bible there is a separation of Moral Laws and Ceremonial Laws. And where it says the Ceremonial Laws were the ones that were done away with on the cross. Mathhew 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one [b]jot or one [c]tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Why does Jesus say "Till all is fulfilled". What was He implying would happen when the Fulfilment happened?
