You will notice that the first 5 commandments were not mentioned either

Do you worship idols ?
You will find that those who are of the antinomian camp believe that ONLY the fourth Commandment was really done away. They really don't want someone to murder them, commit adultery with their spouse, steal from them, lie to them or lust after things. Neither do they really want to worship another god, serve idols or images and they think it is wrong to profane God's holy name. They just do not want to keep the Sabbath.

Is our walk a walk of faith or law?

Gal 3:11, But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12, And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Oh wait, one more...

Gal 3:14, That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
If we walk by faith and not by sight we will keep the law for the promises are by faith when we keep the law thus

[h=1]Ephesians 6:1-2King James Version (KJV)[/h]6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

After Abraham was acounted righteous by faith did he walk by faith after or by works or by faith and works ?

Both. Remember your thread? Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid : yea, we establish the law.
I remember. We establish the law by exalting in Christ's perfect righteousness and despairing of our own. How can you say both when Paul says, "Gal 3:12, And the law is not of faith:"

First things first and that's why the works of the law mean nothing.

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Yes and that's the law where we 'exalt in Christ's perfect righteousness and despair of our own.'

What law is not of faith ? is it the one thou shall honour your parents ?

What law is not of faith ? are you saying it is the ten commandments ?

If it is please tell how do you reconciled what you are saying to that of Honouring your parents if indeed it is the ten commandment being spoken of ?
Faith is not the 10 Commandments...

But the Law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, "The person who keeps the commandments will have life in them."
(Gal 3:12)

Yet no one has kept them except One.

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Have fun if you insist in keeping the law when in fact your best day at it is putrid in God's eyes.

We should point to ourselves instead of being critical toward the words of God to understand the truth of Galatians 3:12. The rhetorical question we should present to ourselves, as we look in the mirror that James talked about, is "where do I stand in the sight of God?"

By faith, just as we are to do.

Are you so foolish? Having started out with the Spirit, are you now ending up with the flesh?
(Gal 3:3)

in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
(Rom 8:4)

Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
(Rom 7:4)

How do you suppose you look in God's eyes when you trample on His Law?

1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Warm and loving?

1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

And our answer should be, "Righteous, on account of Christ" or "Unrighteous apart from Christ".

The truth
[h=1]Matthew 5:19King James Version (KJV)[/h]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.

Seems funny to me that there are those who claim to be Christian, yet toss out the words of Christ. All other writings of the N.T. must be harmonized with the standard and the standard is the words in red.

You don't seem to listen to what has been said do you? I have repeated myself dozens of times on this matter to you. Is it that you just get a kick out of asking the same questions over and over? Are you not born again? Do you not understand and that is why this constant repetition?
The one who has been justified (declared righteous) has also received God's Holy Spirit in the new birth..that man's nature is now delighting in God's nature which is reflected in God's law. But we don't look to our nature (our new birth) or the written law, we by faith look to Jesus who strengthens and guides us in His ways.

The interesting thing about this is that is the opposite of what Paul says.
