And what are His Commandments? Hmmm, sounds just like the rich young ruler...
Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which?
And how did Christ answer him?
Mat19:18 ...Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Now, really, which are His Commandments? What did Christ command from Mt. Sinai?
Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exo 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Exo 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 Thou shalt not steal.
Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Exo 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
This was Jesus Christ speaking. And then He said...
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Now have heaven and earth passed away? Has all been fulfilled?
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Pretty stern warning here.

Who actually killed Christ...
Mar 10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
Mar 10:34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Who is the "they" in verse 34? Who is the antecedant of "they"? The Gentiles.

oh come on.
we all know the story...or we should.
the jews didn't have authority under Roman rule to execute people.
the Pharisees and scribes stirred up the people (jews) to call out - CRUCIFY HIM.
we're told Pilate tried to NOT DO IT.
Peter the Israelite held Israel accountable as well.
Acts 4:10
then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
so did Stephen:
Acts 7
51“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. 52Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, 53you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”
The Stoning of Stephen
54Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him. 55But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed togetherb at him. 58Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
read Psalm 2 - jews and gentiles
imagining a vain thing - they could do away with the Son of God and cast off God Himself.

In GOD's eyes, yes I am keeping the first four when I love my neighbor as myself.
When are you going to start believing what the bible says instead of ignoring select portions for the sake of your unbelief? The 10 commandments are summarized in the two great commandments; keep the two and you've kept all 10. And obedience to the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself is obedience to the 2 great commandments.
Summary: GOD is well pleased when we love our neighbor as ourselves. There is no law or commandment against that law (and this includes the 4th commandment).

Well gee whiz... look at that. The son of GOD didn't mention the 4th commandment. Wonder why that is?
And Jesus didn't tell him that if he wanted to be perfect to keep the sabbath, but to forsake his own ways and follow Christ. Did Christ teach the sabbath? No. He taught that love fulfills the law (which includes the 4th commandment).
And here's a stern warning for you
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 9:31-33
And [Jesus] beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Luke 20:17-18

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

Of course, they are all true, But all the scripture you quote does not make it not also the truth that to sin is death, and through Christ is forgiveness. And how does Christ forgive? Our part in that is repentance. So how can we repent of sin and keep sin? How can we have faith in God if we don't believe God's words? We are saved by trusting in our Savior, our Savior says to be forgiven, be wiped clean. That means we repent. You are right in your scriptures, but if you are posting these to prove that sin does not kill, then you are wrong.
The people who killed Jesus belonged to the Jewish race. Christ also belonged to the Jewish race, so did Paul and John the Baptist. Booth killed President Lincoln. Have you looked up what race he belonged to so you can post that, too? Booth represented the people who resented Lincoln freeing the slaves. We could do the same thing with that entire group.

*[[Gen 2:2-3]] KJV* %v 2% And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. %v 3% And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
The word rest means sabbath. They kept the sabbath of the Lord at creation before sin entered this world.
Isaiah says God's people will keep the sabbath of the Lord in the new earth.

Gen 2 is interesting and I appreciate you posting this, but it is still not a command that any man should keep. Adam and not been created yet. There is no indication that this is a law for Adam to keep. This also contradicts other passages that state:
1) Deut. 5:2-3 which states that these covenants did not apply to others before.
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
2) The Sabbath was first employed during the exodus of Gods of the jews and never before.
3) You can not point to scripture and prove the following statement:
This is nothing but myth.
4)"Isaiah says God's people will keep the sabbath of the Lord in the new earth." Laodicea
Too bad you did not list a scripture.
