Not a prayer. If you disobey any commandment God assumes you are an atheist.

So you've never worn a polyester-cotton blend shirt? The Old Testament commands you not to wear garments of "mixed thread," i.e., two kinds of materials. And how were things in Jerusalem the last time you brought up your obligatory sin offering? I bet getting those lambs through Security and aboard the 747 was a real booger.
The point is that if you disobey ANY of the Old Testament commandments, you're guilty. The 10 Commandments are biggies, but so are ALL of the others as far as God is concerned. So you can either live under the Law, as some religions try to do (no pork eating, Saturday sabbath, etc.), or else you can live by grace, knowing that "If we sin, we have an Advocate with the Father."
I'll take a good "Lawyer" (Jesus) over a mean cop (the Commandments) any day.

NO NO ... if you do no obey the ten commandments, that just a sin .. that's why Jesus came to earth, so that God would be able to forgive us.. God forgives all sins, including those in the 10 commandments. God will take you in even after you sin against the ten commandments.

Yes, thank God! I know that I am not good enough to live by the Ten Commandments, that is why a New Covenant was necessary! We are counted as righteous by grace through faith, and that is what God was telling us through Jesus Christ. So a Christian might be saved through the grace of God by faith, just like He said it.
Galatians 3
2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? 4 Have you suffered so much for nothing—if it really was for nothing? 5 Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?

If you disobey any commandment then you are an atheist? where do you get that from? We are told we are all sinners since we are from Adam's race. The only solution to our sins is to have the blood of Christ applied to them. When we do then we have been forgiven and live our lives attempting to avoid sinning. We will of course still sin but we will still be for given by Christ. This knowing we will be forgiven does not give us license for will-full sinning (see Romans). When we have accepted Christ whom God had sent to die on our behalf, we are then declared righteous before God and will be accepted by Him, thus go to heaven.

The 10 commandments can't be kept by anyone.So this means all are guilty and need
their sins paid for.A debt you nor I can pay.
But wait,I have some good news.God has
provided us a covering for our sins.The past,present and future ones.His name is
Jesus,God's Son.The blood of Jesus on Mount Calvary is the supreme sacrifice for your sins and mine.Ain't that good news?

Interesting that you feel you can speak for God.
In order to "get off the hook" one must first be on the hook.
Christians were never a party to that covenant. So, what do you suppose God thinks when someone like yourself insists people keep the conditions of a covenant God never required of them. Are you now greater than God?

Jesus paid the price for our forgiveness, but if we willfully sin after wards, we must be forgiven again. Repentance is required for forgiveness. One must be saved also, accept Jesus as your Lord and savior. We should always obey the ten commandments.

Jesus Himself said that He came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. God knows that we imperfect humans can't always live up to the standards set by a perfect God, and that's why He gave us a way to be forgiven through the sacrifice of His Son. Only He can empower you to do your best.

No... everyone sins and makes mistakes, God knew we couldn't follow all of the commandments by ourselves so he sent his son. As long as you ask for forgiveness and try to never do it again God still accepts you.

You didnt quote your source for this. As I recall, Jesus Himself said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". No one cast a stone - hence everyone is a sinner and disobeys the Commandments. But God is merciful and forgives us - so we remain His followers.
