How about Ex 20:1 - Ex 20:17. Do you observe these and teach others to? Or do you teach them not to?
If you respond to the question posed in the title of the thread I will happily address what your questions.

In your view must a person read the literal words of the Ten Commandments in order to know how God wants them to live?

If you answer yes or no, I will respond to your questions

Definitely not. But if you are going to join a thread, should you not expect to give an opinion of the question the thread relates to?

I told you I will respond to your questions, if you firstly answer that

I wouldn't say that is being defensive at all. What is clear is you seem unwilling to forthrightly address the question the thread relates to. Why join a thread and make a comment if you feel unable to respond to the question in the title pertaining to it?
Michael I didn't read the rules of posting on CC but I am sure that I can comment on a title of a thread as I see fit

In my humble opinion, commenting on the title of a thread, while feeling unable to answer the question that title relates to diminishes the comment you make

Carry each others burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ Gal6:2
Do you know the 'definition' of carrying each others burdens?

Why do you oppose CHRIST of the written and spoken Gospel and not welcome HIS teaching and giving as GOD's 'Law of the HOLY SPIRIT of liberty' of the New Covenant who just started from the 'Sermon of the Mount' in Matthew chapter 5 onwards (exactly like Moses from Mount Sinai teaching and giving as GOD's 'Law of the Letter of bondage' of the Old Covenant to GOD's redeemed people from the slavery in Egypt) and in chapter 7; 24-28, HE proclaims to 'everyone' like this, as HE would do the same even today that;

"Everyone then who hears these words of Mine and does them ..........................................................."

Compare this with yours, which one's 'words' defines the meaning of knowing how to 'carry each others burdens', the MASTER's or the servants?

Do you know this servant will condemn you, if you continue to remain in your ignorance, on judgement day?

To completely ignore the words/teachings of the LORD JESUS CHRIST written in the Gospels you have closely at hand and supposedly in our hearts, minds, souls and strengths and acting accordingly, which he did not even get the privilege that which he dearly long for so much and he said, he was born at a wrong time, unlike the Apostles of CHRIST, who were with CHRIST witnessing.

Do you know Apostle Paul's revelation of that quote and many others that are beneficial to the 'order' behavior of the churches, actually comes in relations to the Gospel foundation of CHRIST?

Do you know Apostle Paul's words is the actual words of 'spirit' and 'life' of CHRIST, since he is just a chosen 'instrument of CHRIST by Himself, to run for HIM'?

Please repent while 'Grace' and 'Truth' is with you, for it is written and is 'useful' in reminder and stir up of memory of believers that;

"You can speak anything against the Son of Man and you can be forgiven but if you speak anything against the HOLY SPIRIT, you can never be forgiven."

"All Scripture is inspired (by the HOLY SPIRIT)/ breathed out by GOD ....................................................."

Thank you and be forgiven in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

I assume then, if you have ever fasted you have ensured no one knows you have fasted, otherwise you accept you would be a hypocrite.
You also accept that if you invite friends and family home for a meal, rather than the poor, lame, blind and beggars you are not obeying the commands of Jesus, and are according to your post opposing Jesus.

I can quote more of Jesus commands if you would wish

I know the Apostle Paul stated. ''All we need is faith working through love'' I know he believed love fulfils the law. Therefore it is not hard, in my view to understand why he stated:

Carry each others burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ

However, for those who insist all of Christ's literal commands are followed, otherwise you are opposing Christ. I hope they also accept Christ's words where he stated:

''The measure you use to judge others will be used to judge you''

Please, with all due respect to you, do not challenge others and me, for we are for you in CHRIST of the New Covenant, to be in 'togetherness' to the words of 'spirit' and 'life' what CHRIST have spoken, said and it is written as the New Covenant for Christians who believe and shall be 'sanctified', in what CHRIST say and speak, as they 'believe' in the CHRIST of the New Covenant of GOD.

i am not acting on my own, for 'recognition', but a 'great anointing' is placed in me by GOD to 'serve' you and others who claim to be in CHRIST.

You and others are not 'opposing' me but CHRIST of the New Covenant of GOD.

We are 'laboring' for you and others and there is no acknowledgement even in 'guilt', in honoring CHRIST of the written Gospel and in 'revelation' of HIS New Covenant of GOD through the epistles of the 'Apostles' and the book of Revelation for the church/Christians.

In 'assistance' for you, if you and others with you, want to know about 'true fasting' according to the New Covenant, please read Isaiah chapter 58, in 'liberating' others in 'Spiritual New Covenant fasting', according to the New Covenant of CHRIST for GOD HIS FATHER.

HE as CHRIST of the New Covenant 'oppose' fasting of the Old, of 'traditions' and 'doctrine of men' in 'adding', in carnal/flesh GOD witness 'hypocrisy' according to their 'self righteousness' of carnal/flesh 'passions' and 'desires' false addition.

Thank you and be blessed in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST, who love you and others to be submissive and obedient to the 'Word' of GOD, of 'Truth founded Salvation'.

You haven't answered my questions. If you say that failure to obey Christ's literal commands in the Gospels is opposing Christ, it is reasonable for me to ask you if you personally obey them all. If you do not, you are insisting of others what you do not do in your own life. I have found that crushes the sincere. I do not see such questions as a challenge as such, but rather, are you practising fully what you preach/insist on to others

First of all, do you and others want to know the beginning knowledge of 'faith' towards GOD in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST?

As it is written to you and others and me that;

"Faith comes from hearing and hearing the Word of GOD."

Are we 'listening' and 'believing' in CHRIST of the New Covenant, of the 'every Word of GOD that proceeded out of HIS mouth' that a 'born again' believer shall and must live on, than carnal/flesh bread of men that 'spoils'?

You want to know the answer, ask CHRIST your MASTER and ask HIM what am i doing here without HIS approval?

As it is written for you and others and me that;

"Workout your own Salvation in fear and trembling."

i am merely an unworthy servant of CHRIST, just doing my duty in 'prophesy' to all that is written, to 'built up' and 'unite' in 'one' sound doctrine knowledge of the New Covenant of the kingdom of GOD at 'present' and 'at hand'.

As you refuse to state you yourself obey each and every literal command of Christ I must assume you do not, therefore, I am sure you would not insist that of others

my 'ignorant' friend, who is 'insisting' 'these' on others, you or others or me, who have been 'called' to 'witness' these things of 'spirit' and 'life' of the New Covenant?

In order for anyone to say they 'believe', then 'practice' them and 'find' the place of 'GOD's rest'.

Why do you concern about others, is CHRIST going to question you about others or they 'individually' have to give an account of their 'faith and action'?

Do you and others want me to 'state' my 'self' in accordance to them that i personally accountable to, so in order for 'one' to 'believe'?

Or 'state' and 'boast' about CHRIST of the New Covenant and in 'reference' the written HOLY BIBLE, in order to 'believe' and 'practice'?

am i answerable to you and others or are you answerable to others and me, when CHRIST is the 'MASTER' of all we are answerable, according to the written New Covenant?
