Does anyone here think that they've kept the ten commandments?

Question

Have you ever lied, stolen something (despite value), looked with lust at the opposite sex (or same), used God's name as a curse word, desired something that wasn't yours, hated another person, dishonored your parents, kept the Sabbath, made a God to suit yourself, and kept God first in your life? (Judge yourself based on these, the ten commandments...answer honestly...listen to your conscience; I'lll add more once the timing for this question has been answered)

Answer 1

95% of all people have broken the Ten Commandments. The other 5% are liars.

Answer 2

Look it up for yourself.

John 1:17, John 6:32, John 10:8, John 3:14, Numbers 21:4-9, and Revelation 13:14-18.

How many commandments was changed in the 4 Gospels ?
Like the 1st and 2nd Commandments of the 4 Gospels (Matthew 22:36-40) doesn't say anything like the first 2 commandments of the OT, (Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-22

Jesus changed thou shall not kill,
Jesus changed adultery,
Jesus changed divorcement,
Jesus changed Honor thy mother and father
Jesus changed sabbath
Jesus changed an eye for an eye,
Jesus changed love thy neighbor and hate thy enemy
Jesus added love one another as I have loved you.

Answer 3

The question is, Is it possible to keep the ten commandments? We know that Jesus kept them perfectly. But did Jesus have an advantage over us? No. He was a "descendant of David according to the flesh." Romans 1:3. David had sinful flesh. Therefore, Jesus in his human nature was "in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15;2:14). We too can become "more than conquerors". Romans 8:37. We too, through the grace of God, can keep the ten commandments to the satisfaction of God Himself. The book of Revelation predicts that such a people will exist before the return of Christ. "Here are they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." Revelation 14:12.

Answer 4

It's OK as long as:
your lies are white. Your steeling is on accident. Look with lust, but do not act upon it. Use God's name as a curse word, but have remorse for it. Desire something that isn't yours but also be happy with what you have. Do something God would approve of every Sunday (keeping the sabbath). And keep God in your thoughts everyday, but do not judge others who do not share the same belief.

Answer 5

Everyone who is alive and that has been alive has not kept the ten commandments. If you say you have you are only kidding yourself and of course lying.

Everyone has lied, stolen, cheated and dishonored their parents among other things at some point in their lives.

Answer 6

you mean throughout a life-time, or for the past 30 seconds or so. Anyone answering yes to the life-time, is a liar.
Why ask such a question, it in effect is judgmental, although you are skirting the judgment part again by your wording. But, even so, isn't that still judgmental on your part, and also a Sin, but this time a sin in the New Testament, as well.

Answer 7

Depending on what religious dogma you ascribe to, the commandments that are called " The Ten Commandments" may be different.

To Jews and to the ancient Hebrews, the method of prayer of Christians is in violation of the second Commandment not to pray to anything on earth or in heaven before God. The commandments of the eternal covenant are a guide to allow Israel to be a light unto the nations as an example of a way of life. Christianity is also in violation of the commandment to honor the sabbath and keep it holy by moving it from the seventh day to the first day of the week. The exception to this is the Seventh Day Adventists and perhaps a few other smaller groups.

So when you ask this question, realize that you are actually speaking of more than ten commandments and different commandments depending on what audience is reading.

There are many more than just ten commandments that the ancient Hebrews were given in the Torah. The tablets of stone gave the major " categories" for the rest of the 613 commandments found in the Torah. Yet, the Torah also shows that because humans were given free will, known to be imperfect and fallible, repentance was and is always available.
It is called Teshuvah or " return"..a return to God, a return to the path of righteousness that is available to all nations ( Isaiah). The steps of teshuvah as illustrated in many places in the Tanakh are to acknowledge the failure, the sin ( transgression of law) make amends or restitution whenever or wherever possible, seek forgiveness first from the injured/offended party, vow to not do whatever it was again and then ask God to forgive. Trust that God will forgive. Sincere repentance is required.
. Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Eternal a man avoids evil. [Proverbs 16:6]

To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Eternal than sacrifice. [Proverbs 21:3]

For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. [Hosea 6:6]

With what shall I come before the Eternal and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Eternal be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Eternal require of you? Only to do Justice, and to love Mercy and to walk humbly with your God. [Micah 6:6-8]

Thankfully, we are not required to be perfect. We ARE required to do our best and to try to learn from our mistakes. All parents want this for their beloved children. I cannot envison that the creator of us all would want less.

Answer 9

Your question presumes there is or was a set of the Ten Commandments. so with that I would have to say, if they existed that they problay are hidden somewhere, as the historical value would be a lot.

I most people according to the ten commandants have violeted on of those rules at least.

Answer 10

Sorry my brother,I think the ten commandements is already outdated now.IT has been replaced by God with Bibel and the last by Qur'an.Qur'an is much more complete than only 10 commandements.I you do not believe me please you study and understand the contents of Qu'an.There are more than 10 instructions as the guide of our lives if you want to get a happy life here in this world and in the life after death please practise all instructions and avoid all prohibitions stated in holy Qur'an.Stealing,conceiting,gambling,lying,uncontrolled lust,using God's name as acurse word,killing(making bloodshed),rude treatment to the parents,making destruction,
hating other,(no love and no help),insulting,pressing/invading other,letting the orphans and the poor,touching haram foods and drinks,smoking,drug addicting etc are the prohibitions of God..Praying at least 5 times a day,paying zakat,.syahadat(witnessing no other God than Allah and Muhammad as last messenger of Allah),fasting during Ramadhan,,paying haj pilgrimage once in life,and believe in God's decision etc are the instructions of God..God gave the new life guide because the old life guide is unfit anymore with the development of our cultures.
