Must a Christian read the Ten Commandments to Know How God wants them to live?

[fredjames]

The same Commandments that have been, are and always will be.

Yes, the 'two commandments' left by JESUS to HIS disciples written in the Gospel.

Isn't JESUS's words/teachings are the 'definitions of AGAPE' for 'one another', given to HIS Disciples and followers written in the Gospel for our 'witnessing', calling us all as in 'one body of HIS/CHRIST' to 'practice them' in order to 'excel in righteousness than the Pharisees'?

Weren't they all of GOD through CHRIST, that was also as in the 'Old', GOD through Moses, both Covenants were made out of the 'same standards' of the 'two commandments', which the 'present of GOD to HIS redeemed people, HE gave through CHRIST later, written in the Gospel to HIS Disciples and followers and the 'commission' to 'preach' and 'teach' all nation to 'abide' in them the same, so that they will know the truth and the truth shall set them free from carnal/flesh, it's 'passions' and 'desires' bound 'laws'?

It is about the commandments of GOD, but most importantly to 'abide' in the 'words/teachings' of 'commandments' and 'instructions' of CHRIST and HIS chosen 'vessels', the Apostles, where HE calls HIS 'redeemed ones' to 'excel in righteousness' that 'fulfills' the requirement of 'GOD's Ten Commandments'.

my 'spirituality' is based on these of CHRIST and the Apostle's, the written 'Gospels' and the written 'epistles' and together 'Revelation', called as the New Covenant, given to the churches to 'abide' and 'bear fruits' and their fruits 'abide', written 'proof' in 'The Book'.

my 'stand' and 'fall' will be 'based on these' and am 'accountable' according to them, either 'job well done My faithful servant' or 'i never knew you, get out of my sight you workers of lawlessness'.

The HOLY SPIRIT will, "bring to our remembrance 'All' that CHRIST have spoken", does those who say they 'believe in JESUS', even remember written in the Gospel of John?

Other than 'these that are written and taught and reminded' by the HOLY SPIRIT, others are therefore 'counterfeits of imposters', 'who have not come in through the Door/CHRIST, but have climb in over the fence' and are 'witnessing another jesus and another spirit'.

this is my given and buried 'faith sound doctrine knowledge of the Kingdom of GOD', by the HELP of the HOLY SPIRIT, always in 'constant' reminder and stir up of memory, call to 'practice' them and 'abide' and 'bear fruits' and 'my fruits also abide', therefore together excel in righteousness of the 'spirit-man'. And also 'constant' reminder and stir up of memory of not falling once again to the 'passions' and 'desires' of carnal/flesh and pattern of this world.

Then only we are the 'light' and 'salt' for the whole earth and not 'hypocritical bunch of show offs and bunch of snakes' in 'traditions and of doctrine of men'.

There is only, 'one way and that way is narrow and very difficult to follow and only a few will make it'. JESUS has explain them simple and clear, but are we simple and clear to 'perceive and receive' like the poor, when we continue 'remain in carnal/flesh and it's 'passions' and 'desires' imperfection. without any of 'doctrine workouts' and boldly in partial truth knowledge faith that suits and supports 'imperfection' witnessing?

Is there not anywhere on the 'inside' having any 'guilt' and 'shame' of 'imperfection', therefore no need to 'workout' at all in faithfulness?

'Strain out a small fly for GOD and swallow a camel' is okay and fit to go to Heaven?

"Are we sure we are that 'few' mentioned by CHRIST, will make it to Heaven?"

It's good to know other's write a lot too in here. Smile.I don't feel so bad now. GOOD FEED BACK!....I have alway's seen the Ten Commandment's like this:


I think of the Ten Commandment's like a tennis game without the rules. I see these people out there having a great time, just hitting the ball off the fence posts into play, letting the ball bounce once before hitting the ball back , then on the next turn, letting it hit two times, followed by three bounces on the next turn before returning the ball. Then after the game is over both parties exchanging handshakes and asking who won? ....We really can't call it a tennis game that way tho can we? I like that both parties are happy at the end but don't we need the rules to determine who won and lost? In the same way I see God sending the rules of life like that of this game of tennis, in my mind. You see How can God have sent Jesus to save us from our sins if we didn't even know what sin was? We thought ....AWESOME!... a rule book that we can simply follow and we get to heaven. But to our disappointment, it was too hard to follow successfully. But God never planned those rules to bring victory over sin. Even tho they were sacred and Holy rules.

Only Thru Jesus' Blood on a cross can we now live up to those rules. And we can live up to those rules! By Christ, and our adoption by Him to his history and purity.

That is the Good news, Jesus freed us from sin, sin is breaking the law. We don't break it anymore cause we are free through the Death and Resurrection.
