are we to still keep and obey the ten commandments?

Question

as stated in the King James Bible? or did Jesus dod away with them when He was crucified on the cross?

Answer 1

YES, we are still to keep the ten commandments. No one has though except for Jesus. We are to try our best to keep them. Paul talks about it, he says that even though we are forgiven for our sins, we should seek to live righteously. We have to ask for forgiveness when we break them, and try not to do it again.

Answer 2

The key to understanding this issue is knowing that the Old Testament law was given to the nation of Israel, not to Christians. Some of the laws were to make the Israelites know how to obey and please God (the Ten Commandments for example), some of them were to show them how to worship God (the sacrificial system), some of them were to simply make the Israelites different from other nations (the food and clothing rules). None of the Old Testament law applies to us today. When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15).

In place of the Old Testament law, we are under the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2) which is to, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:37-40). If we do these two things, we will be fulfilling all that Christ wants for us to do, “This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3). Technically, the Ten Commandments are not even applicable to Christians. However, 9 of the Ten Commandments are repeated in the New Testament (all except the command to observe the Sabbath day). Obviously, if we are loving God we won't be worshipping other gods or worshipping idols. If we are loving our neighbors, we won't be murdering them, lying to them, committing adultery against them, or coveting what belongs to them. So, we are not under any of the requirements of the Old Testament law. We are to love God and love our neighbors. If we do those two things faithfully, everything else will fall into place.

Answer 3

Jesus confirms the ten commandments in Mark 10:18-19.

Answer 4

Anyone who lives by the commandments dies by the commandments.

All the old laws were fulfilled and set aside when Jesus died and rose again.

Jesus gave us a new and better covenant based on his blood, on the grace he obtained for us, and on the church he personally founded.

And in the whole scheme of things, your King James Bible plays a relatively minor part.

No one who follows the authentic teachings of the only church Jesus ever founded needs to worry about keeping any of the old commandments, ordinances, or statutes, because they all expired when Jesus did, and they never had the power to save, anyway.

Read carefully, paying special attention to the word "fulfilled":

Luk 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is preached: and every one useth violence towards it.

Mat 5:18 For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law,
till all be fulfilled.
============

Joh 19:28 Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.

Luk 24:44 And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me.
Luk 24:45 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
Luk 24:46 And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, the third day:
Luk 24:47 And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Act 3:17 And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance: as did also your rulers.
Act 3:18 But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Act 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.
Act 13:30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day.

Rom 8:1 There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.

Answer 5

Well according to the church we should follow to the letter which is exactly why the church needs to let itself evolve with the times. Unfortunately we cannot all not covet things and all the like... the commandments should be taken as more guidelines for your life.

Answer 6

Yes of course, but for me the greatest commandment is to love each other as we love ourselves as what Jesus said.

Answer 7

Yes!

The ten commandments exist, one way or another, in all human religions. Must be some truth there.

Jesus did not break any of them.

Answer 8

Jesus became the last sacrifice. So we are not to do blood sacrifices anymore, but he did not change the law, he fulfilled it.

Answer 9

No need to keep it, and you can make sins how much you want as Jesus died for your sins and you will not be held responsible for your sins.

Answer 10

We are to keep all the commandments forever.
