Pretty clear to me...........
All of these commandments of our Lord are from His Teaching. Of course none of us would ever want to deliberately disobey our Savior because He has done all for us in His perfect love for us.
Here is wisdom, we are not perfect but we are being perfected; the work He began in us He will finish on His Day....This is saying the same as you have said without suggesting we ignore anything deliberately. The pivotal wors in this post on His day, He is perfecting US, and deliberately......we would never do that.
May God bless you and hold you close always, amen.

I think your mistake is using the word "ignore." There is a HUGE difference between failing to keep a Commandment from time to time, and IGNORING the existence of the Commandment.
To IGNORE a Commandment is to suggest that it doesn't matter whatsoever, and a person can pick and choose which Commandments they wish to IGNORE. To "slip and mess up" from time to time is human.......and, when one does this, they must recognize that they have slipped and messed up, and repent, and ask Christ to forgive them for doing so, and strive to do better in the future.
Now, if you insist in asserting there are Commandments we can simply IGNORE, for they are not relevant to the Church today, I would really appreciate you providing a List of these Commandments.

Well I disagree with you. If we don't keep a commandment we ignore it in my book. Now as you didn't say you fully obeyed the commandment mentioned I have to take it you ignore that one.
My original post concerning this was Paul's statement
Carry each others burdens( love them) and so fulfill the law of Christ gal6:2
That seems to clearly say to me we don't look to the letter of each and every literal command of Christ and seek to obey them all but show love to others. The more we love others, the more in line we are with what Christ taught.
I guess you disagree with that

CONTEXT is a wonderful thing........
Galatians
6
1 .) Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 .) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 .) For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4 .) But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 .) For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 .) Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 .) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 .) For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 .) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 .) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

What I do or do not do, believe or do not believe is not relevant in this........it was YOU who made the assertion, not me. As you seem unable to provide a List of the Commandments we are able to IGNORE, I can only believe you misspoke in your assertion. As well, if you do not understand the difference between "omission" and "commission," then mayhaps you should start there?
