How do we believe in Jesus but not believe or live out His teachings that He kept as our example to follow. 1 John 2:6
Mat 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone
, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God
Jesus equated the Word of God with the Ten Commandments as He is quoting from them directly.
Mark 7:7 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
9 He said to them, “
All too well
you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10
For Moses said,
‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me
is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift
to God), 12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13
making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
Matthew 15:3 He answered and said to them,
“Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4
For God commanded, saying,
‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me
is a gift
to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [
a]or mother.’
Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
A
nd honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
Mat 5:17
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19
Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches
them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
21
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22
But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother [e]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [
g]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
27
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 B
ut I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast
it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast
it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
Matthew 19:17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one
is good but One,
that is, God.
But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him,
“Which ones?”
Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
The same ones James quotes that we will be judged by.
James 2:8 If you really fulfill
the royal law according to the Scripture,
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; 9
but if you [e]show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10
For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11
For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,”
also said, “Do not murder.”
Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. What else did the
He who said say? James is quoting the Ten Commandments that Jesus said we are to live by every Word.
27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
Isa 56:1
Thus says the Lord:
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
For My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.
2
Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man
who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant
