Paul says in Galatians that the law was given to us as a tutor until the Messiah came.
He condemned people who practiced the law for the sake of the law, but encouraged people to obey the law out of their love for Christ.

The 10 Commandments are a mirror we look into proving how sinful we really are. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. - Romans 6:23. All is forgiven when you repent (apologize and turn from those sins) and trust in Jesus Christ to save you. Then you will turn from death to life.

No there commandments but if you do ask for forgivness and he knows in your heart that you mean it you'll be forgiven, but you cant keep commiting the same sin over and over and expect to be saved the bible says we fight for our salvation daily.

The Ten Commandments, as in The True Christian Bible, are binding upon those of The Faith.... all who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and will become of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head..... this includes accepting Jesus The Christ as Lord and master.... ony by accepting Jesus The Christ can any one come to God.... Because Jesus paid the sin debt of all of mankind... including yours... if you come to God as He proscribes God will see no sin in you because you will be covered by The Blood of Christ...which was the price Christ paid for you... There will be nothing for God to forgive.... There is a bit more to it of course....if you have a question concerning the basics of The True Christian Faith you may email me. One honest question receives one honest answer to the best of my ability

Everyone in this world breaks commandments everyday. Nobody can ever sit and repent them all. And if they did, they'd be lying. I've broken a couple commandments, and I'm not sorry.....because I did nothing wrong.....so THERE.

the commandments are mosaic law, so are meant for Jews.
that's why gentiles can eat pork. not being able to eat pork was a mosaic law, therefore, for Jews not gentiles. i know not eating pork is not one of the commandments, but i used this as an example.

God understands our fallen nature and having a sincere contrition of our sin Gods mercy is boundless as your own father would forgive you if you are sorrowful or your own son if you are a father.

You can't just turn to the Lord and ask for His forgiveness with out you giving up your sinful behavior that caused you to sin that very sin you just asked for forgivness for.
You have to look inside yourself and work to change that part of you that makes you do what you know is a sin. For a good example... When Jesus forgave that prostitute, He also told her that her sins were forgiven, and for her to go and sin no more. That means for her to live and not sell her body again. God knows that we are all going to become weak and sin, but what He wants us to do is learn from our past sins, and change our sinful ways and work hard at living according to His word.
IF you keep repeating the same sin you keep asking for forgiveness for, then God turns your mind over to a reprobate mind, and He will not listen to your pleas for forgivness until you change your sinful lifestyle.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Not every one who calls out the Lord's name shall enter into the kingdom of God, because they refuse to live according to the word of God.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
God knows when you are sincere in your repenting of your sins and when you are not.
