More false allegations as usual
as usual, you can not hear a word anyone says, so in failure to comprehend you have no capacity to properly discuss
no one is against the ten commands.
we are trying to put them where they belong. As part of the law. Which imposes a curse to everyone who does not obey every word
when you see the ten commands, you should see judgment because you have failed to live up to Gods standard, they should bring you to tears, because you have failed, they should bring you to repentance because you have no hope. They should bring you to Christ where you can find salvation.
that was the purpose of those tablets of stone.
sadly, like the jews you do not see them the way God gave them, you see them as a means to spiritual maturity or Godly living so in effect you fail to see them as what they are, tablets written in stone which are given as the minister of death, as Moses said, cursed is the one who does not confirm and obey every word.
for all have sinned and fall short, you are part of that all. How do we know? Because unless you have kept every word, you fall short of Gods standard,
the penalty of failing to keep the law is death.
that's ALL you personally should take from the law. Because once you stumble in that one point, your guilty of ALL the law

Many of the 613 require a Temple and sacrificial system to perform and are impossible today.
Even Scripture opposes your view!
Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. Ecclesiastes 7:20
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
God gave the Law to define sin and demonstrate our need for a Savior.
The law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3:24
Jesus is the only one who has perfectly obeyed the Law.
Why is that so difficult for you to acknowledge?
No, instead you slander and bear false witness.

I seem to remember seeing that you were in your 90s. Is that true?
You have a very unhealthy obsession with the Law, and not much talk of Jesus, Him being the fulfillment of the Law, and His Gospel of Salvation.
Virtually every post and thread from you is in some fashion tied to Law and Law keeping.
I don’t think Jesus is going to say “Well done pushing the Law, instead of Me”.
Please pray on that.

I am 96. I have gone to a specialist to test my mental capacity because I see so many older people with dementia and that specialist tested me to see if it was true of me. I am so thankful, so lucky, I tested OK.
And you are joining those who say I am pushing the law in error. Do you want me to push disobedience to the law? If we have Christ within us, if saying to follow Christ (as I do) is wrong and I should push going against Christ within? If Christ is within us, then we love and follow commandments, yet when I say so, I am scolded, scoffed at, ridiculed. Often I am accused of being without Christ because of it, as you are insinuating. Why?
The 119th Psalm pushes the law. Do you scold God for giving us this psalm, also? I am scolded over and over and over for what this psalm tells us.

Good day, Ultimateprepper!
"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
As a human being, Jesus met the righteous requirements of the Law, satisfying it completely. Consequently, believers in Christ are no longer under the Law. We follow Christ and are let by the Spirit. When we sin, we confess our sins and He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. We are not under the law.
Acts 13:38-39
Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses.
Romans 3:19-24
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
Romans 3:27-28
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.
Romans 4:13-15
It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.
Ergo (The best way to not break the law is to have no law to break.)
Roman 7:1-6
For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Romans 9:30-32
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith, but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the “stumbling stone.”
Romans 10:4 - Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Galatians 2:15-16
We who are Jews by birth and not ‘Gentile sinners’ know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
Galatians 2:19-21
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Galatians 3:10
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written” “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”
Galatians 3:23-25
Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
Galatians 5:1-4
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Ephesians 2:14-15
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations.
Colossians 2:13-17
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.
I think that about answers the question about whether or not believers are under the law.
As previously stated, if you fail at anything, adultery, lying, coveting, envy, sexual immorality, etc., etc., then confess it and He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. As we continue from faith to faith, believers are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit, which is the process of being made holy. As we go along we are being transformed into His image, taking on the characteristics of Christ, which are the fruits of the Spirit.
As you saw above, no one will be made right with God by observing the Law. Jesus came to fulfill it because we were unable to because of our sinful natures. By submitting ourselves to the Law, when we fail at it, it brings wrath. Jesus now stands as the fulfillment of the Law. When we believed, we were credited with the righteousness of Christ, which includes the fulfillment of the Law. Jesus also experienced God's wrath on behalf of every believer, satisfying it completely, so that it no longer rests upon those who believe and which is why we are not appointed to suffer God's coming wrath.

Thank you so much.
In my post, my intent is that Jesus is the head of life, that we accept Him in our hearts and all we do is through Him. They are still read as self rightousness, as someone acting apart from the Lord. I truly do not know how my intent can be made clearer as I post, always with listening prayer, but I will try harder.

I don't think we understand that Christ fulfilled the law in the same way. I understand scripture to tell us that the law condemns us, explaining the sin that causes our death, and Christ saves us from that sin. Because scripture is speaking not only of the earthly ways of the Lord, but the spiritual at the same time, it means that Christ fulfilled all the prophcies spoken of Him.
What do you think it means when we are told Christ fulilled the law?

Well for one, I guarantee you that both you and I and everyone who is ready this, are breaking and will continue to break the law. And if we are trying to keep the law, then it brings wrath. Remember, if you put yourself under the Law, you are bound to keep the entire law. When you break it in one place, you've broken the whole law which leads to condemnation.
Jesus fulfilled the Law completely, meeting its righteous requirements. We can't do any better than that. In God's eyes the Law has been satisfied for everyone who believes.
Hebrews 7:18-19
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 8:13
By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
II Corinthians 3:6
He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant -- not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Timothy 1:9
He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.
Don't be like the Galatians of whom Paul wrote:
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?
Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh? Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing? Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?
Christ freed us from the Law. Follow Christ and you will not break the law. And when and if you do, then confess it and repent. We are not under the Law.

All law seen as a way of earning God's favor or meriting eternal life is absolutely abolished. Salvation is by grace, not works. But grace results in faith in Christ, which is faith in who he is, all he taught, and all he did for our salvation. Therefore, the moral law which is rooted in His nature stands. To deliberately discard what we know to be right in God's eyes is to reject Jesus. To reject Jesus is to forfeit eternal life. So the commandments and instructions which He gives, rooted in His own nature, cannot be disobeyed without consequence.
