Please note that many of you didn't answer the last question correctly; that is, I didn't ask if you agreed if there were ten commandments or not, or if they had any relevance. The question is assumed already; so, despite whether you believe or not, answer the question directly. In this case, I"m looking for a yes or no. Listen to your conscience and answer truthfully. Remember, it doesn't matter if you broke one yesterday and not today, if you have broken one just once at any time, you've broken them all (James 2:10, for whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all). While you are at it, answer this one to; will you go to heaven or hell, based on your answer? I thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. In the meantime, I'm working on the next question. God bless!!

IF, and that is a very big IF God judged any of us by the ten commandments, then we would all be guilty, and all be condemned.
The purpose of the law was to bring all under sin:
Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Understand; the law could never make one right in the sight of God; all it could do was condemn the one who transgressed.
There is no justification in or through the law; only condemnation and death.

I am the chief of sinners. I am most definitely guilty of violating the ten commandments. My only hope (and that which I cling to) is that God loves me so much that he sent His son Jesus Christ to live a perfect life (Jesus did NOT violate any of the commandments -- ever) and then was executed and abandoned by God in my stead. Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, my salvation is complete, and now when I am judged, God will look at me, but will see the innocence of Jesus, and as a result, will welcome me into eternity with him.
Sounds far-fetched? Yeah, but God's like that. He's extreme.

If there was a god and I was to be judged on if I have not followed the Ten Commandments then I would be found Guilty

Well, by your criteria, I'd be guilty. I don't accept your criteria as reality, but strictly within the confines of your question: Guilty.

Guilty. If not we would'nt need a Messiah in the 1st place.

Way of the Master is lame, and offensive. It will serve to alienate people.
