What if God had written IN STONE?

Are there any New Testament works from Jesus Christ which are absolutely unnecessary and, if so, which ones?
Do you believe there any New Testament works from Jesus Christ which are absolutely unnecessary to be in the condition of grace and, if so, which ones?
Jesus Yeshua teaches we should obey the commandments. Now if you wish to say that if we love God in the manner prescribed that is enough, you are correct, but that Love of God would pertain to all the Ten commandments. Not to worry, when we fail, and we do, we have an Advocate to the Father to always plead our cause and win............for Jesus Yeshua is the Father Eternal.
Great Commission:
Preach, Make Disciples, Baptize.
Those are the literal "WORKS" Commanded for us TO DO..
Jesus gave this when HE had ALL AUTHORITY!
so, nothing, no person later on, can change this Fact.
WHOEVER, [is not] doing them, is DIRECTLY telling Jesus, go take a hike.

what is wrong with the 2 of you
who here has said we just ignore them? wasn't your spirit renewed when you accepted Christ and now live in Him?
don't you have a desire to become more like Him?
any works done in your flesh are meaningless
I have all authority in Christ in as much as I am in Him and do not think I have become something in my own strength

Jesus words or your own indignation at not getting the attention you obviously need so badly?
Jesus never said go take a hike. the flesh really gets worked up when it does not get the praise it thinks it should smh

how about taking care of orphans and widows?
how about considering others more humble than yourself?
how about doing good and just helping those in need?
that is what Jesus did and why people love Him. no one likes having a human being shove words at them in their flesh.
it has the opposite effect which is what is going on in this thread. keep yelling at folks....so effective. yelling at folks who do not object to the commandments but understand they are not playing a part in our salvation, based on faith in Christ

i mean how it is argued/debated
but very TRUE, Obeying God is not legallism at all
it consists of you and the other person acting as if you unable to comprehend what is written in the word and constantly ranting about something that God Almighty wrapped up Himself
I believe Jesus when He stated 'ITS FINISHED' apparently you think you need to add your 2 pennies
Paul said the life he now lives, he lives in Christ. it seems you think you must add to what is written

that's really none of your business. at all. you are not the judge and you don't hand out rewards and no matter how much you try to come across as some kind of special anointed person, I call it fake
are you on this forum to perform? seems like it and it's a bad performance

one of the worst interpretations of Romans I have ever glanced over.
the law was given to put the focus on sin. faith in Christ takes the emphasis off of that and on to new life in Him
here is that verse IN CONTEXT, meaning it is not a standalone verse around which the rest of the book of Romans was conceived
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
No amount of law keeping justifies us...
Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Rom 5:10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Shall be saved at the resurrection, future tense.
Now being justified and reconciled does not excuse a lack of obedience...
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
1Jn 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
1Jn 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
And what is sin?
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (KJV)
The Law defines sin.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
So if we do His Commandments we can be given the right to the Tree of Life. Eternal Life. What is the out come of those who do not keep the Commandments...
Rev 22:15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
These will not enter the Kingdom and will not be given the right to the Tree of Life.
The Apostle John explains it...
Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
1Jn 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
1Jn 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
1Jn 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Peter agrees...
1Pe 2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
1Pe 2:22 "WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH";
Following Christ's example means striving not to sin, transgress the Law. No one is perfect and no one obeys perfectly. That is why John wrote this...
Jn 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Thankfully we can come to the Throne of Grace...
Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
Heb 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Are there any SPECIFIC New Testament Works from Jesus Christ which are putting the emphasis on us instead of Jesus Christ and, if so, which ones?
you really think witnessing to the lost, preaching the Gospel of Jesus, Baptizing them, like Jesus Commanded is the person doing their own works?
Your post reeks with Rebellion, same as Witchcraft.
