We are none perfect, no not one, that is not the reason you have no faith. Could be you are not feeding your faith. When you use the right tools to feed your faith properly, you see a very big difference in the amount of faith you have. You know where everything is you need. Breaking the ten commandments has nothing to do with it because that is nothing you can't get forgiveness for, and is not the reason you have no faith.

The scriptures tell us that if you have broken one of the commandments then you are guilty of them all. James 2: 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. So what does that tell you, there was only one person that kept all the law and that was the Lord Jesus Christ. The Law was God's standard and since nobody was able to meet God standard we needed somebody to do it for us. The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, He was buried and took our sins away and He rose again the third day for our justification. Believe and trust in that and our sins can be forgiven. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God and all can have it if they would believe what He did for them. Romans 10: 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Everyone in the world has broken the commandments... For instance Jesus said that even looking upon a women in lust was the same as actually commitng the sin....

I haven't murdered (a person). I've managed the rest of them though. Although I'm a little unclear on what honoring your parents means. So I might be down to 8. Or 7, because I guess I'm also confused about bearing false witness against neighbors.
Does that mean lying? Or does it mean lying to your neighbor? I don't think I've actually lied to a neighbor, but I've lied to people in different neighborhoods.

If you try to live your life by law, then you're already under a curse. Laws don't bring about salvation. They're to show you who you are, how unholy you are, and that you need a savior. If you try to keep the law, then you'll have to try to abide by them the rest of your life and that, my friend, is totally impossible. Christ was the only one who kept the law in its entirety. You have no faith because you choose to follow darkness rather than light.

Sorry to tell you that if you've broken one, you've broken them all! But here's the good news....Jesus took the penalty you would have had to pay for breaking His laws, took your sin upon himself and set you free from sin. If you accept Him and what He did for you, you can be free from the curse of sin and have eternal life. What a deal!! How could anyone refuse?

How about 9?? I've never committed murder, but that's about it! And it depends on WHAT faith, I still have plenty of faith. However, that's how I broke 2 of the commandments...*hehe*

Not all of them. I have always loved God first. And have never killed anyone. And I don't think I have beared false witness. So not anything to brag about, but now that I know what I know, I don't break them anymore. This is the reason for living learning and free will. To choose Him.

Yes, and I have faith in a resurrected Christ.
".But in all this, the one thing that Jesus chose to mention to the repentant thief on the cross (if you can only say one thing, what do you say?) "You will be with me today." You have to love and admire Jesus a lot for that to be a solace when you leave this life behind. It reminds me of that great spiritual, "When I come to die, give me Jesus… You can have all this world, give me Jesus." ...
