Thank you everyone for your input, it appears that what a Christian IS, has become marred by mankind's interpretation.
To keep the commandments or not, follow Jesus's example or not.
The Bible is as an instructional manual, that is proving to be a catalyst for disharmony amongst Christians,
Our understanding of it is marred by our personal views, which can escalate to un-christian like behaviours.
If we ask for GOD's understanding then things should be made more clear, he tells in the Bible,
"If we LOVE him KEEP his commandments"
the book of REVELATION's (REVELATION's of JESUS)....12: 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,, which keep the commandment's of GOD, and the testimony (FAITH) of CHRIST. (the way he lived his life)
a good mantra to remember: What Would JESUS Do ?
The Question was answered so many times...follow Christ, have faith, say you believe GOD, keep the Law's, lose the 10 commandments,. keep the 2 new one's Jesus gave, the Law's died with Christ. ...etc
There were a lot of non Christian- like reply's,... Jesus never said a bad thing about Judas even though he knew he would betray him to death.
Where is the LOVE of Christ, What is PEACE in your life, Is there HARMONY with other's.
Be DILIGENT, least we be led astray.
WE cannot be Christians and be so diverse, one WAY, one TRUTH, one LIFE. If we follow Christ and Christ only, we will only BE like Christ
GOD bless and guide our journey,
