Do I really have to quote Christ and Paul? Love fulfills the law, love is not fulfilled by obeying the ten commandments
How does love fulfill the law?

Is it not that I will inadvertently be obedient to the law when I simply love my neighbor as myself?

To you, you can only be righteous if you obey the ten commandments
My righteousness is in the blood of Jesus; I am set free to obey the law without condemnation because I know that i know that i know that I am justified by the blood of Jesus; and the law is indeed a blessing for me because I am not justified through law-keeping (James 1:25).

Justified not born of God.
I dont know where you got these ideas from I truly don't

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 1Peter1:23
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.1Peter2:1-3

So in your view, none of the above would break the ten commandments?

Quote it to me out of the kjv and maybe I'll answer your question.

As I have said many times, you have to understand what is written, not just see the letter of what is written
I will not say that I understand everything that is written; but I am growing in my understanding every day and may understand more than you might be willing to admit.

So now you want to run from the NIV, as you are worried it brings your belief into contradiction.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.


Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Not really, I just prefer the kjv as i consider it to be inspired and inerrant over and above other translations; and that any time there is a discrepancy, it trumps other versions.

You still didn't quote it out of the kjv.

Jesus replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]’

4 ‘How can someone be born when they are old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!’

5 Jesus answered, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, “You[c] must be born again.” 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.’

And to you, if the above has happened it is impossible to break The ten commandments?

Okay, one more.

Yes (1 John 3:4,9).

the spirit of them (Romans 7:6) not the letter of them (Galatians 6:13).

So acording to you, the following would not be breaking the ten commandments?

According to bible gateway the above is the kjv
The phrase I was looking for is "If so be that you have tasted that the Lord is gracious"

Not sure why you couldn't provide that.

I copied from the kjv. I see you have not answered the question, as to whether the things mentioned would be breaking the ten commandments in your view

Whats the difference between the spirit of the law and the letter of the law?
The letter is the ten commandments as they are written on stone.

The spirit is as they are written on the heart, in this form:

Galatians 5:16-24.

I believe that someone asked me this question once before; and I gave the same answer.

Was that person you?

We are to lay these things aside as the result of being born again; if born again we will not practice these things.
