Yes, we must keep the commandments. Its ridiculous to say we are now free to murder.
The question then becomes: if anger in my heart is murder, HOW do I keep the commandments?? If the murder occurs even before I shoot someone, how is it possible?
I think the explanation IMO I highlighted in
RED, as James was Yahshua/Jesus brother, he likely understood Him well;
1 John 3:14-15, “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. The one not loving his brother stays in death. Everyone hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life staying in him.”
Matthew 5:21-26, “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment. But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!(*Godless fool)’ shall be liable to fire of GĕHinnom. If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.”
*This word is not simply “fool” as we think today, but rather a mentally and spiritually emptiness;
G3474 μωρός moros (mō-ros') adj., 1. dull-witted, foolish, mentally slow (as if shut up), i.e. heedless., 2. (apparently) absurd. [probably from the base of G3466], KJV: fool(-ish, X -ishness) , Root(s): G3466
G3466 μυστήριον musterion (mï-stee'-riy-on) n., a secret or “mystery.”, {through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites}, [from a derivative of muo “to shut the mouth”], KJV: mystery
James 1:12-18, “Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am enticed by Yah,” for Yah is not enticed by evil matters, and He entices no one. But each one is enticed when he is drawn away by his own desires and trapped. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. Do not go astray, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of light, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of turning. Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures.”
