We love Jesus so we keep his laws . I dont know why people want to change them or not keep them. what I say is that we are not saved by the laws anymore but we keep them because we love him. If we just sin and sin and again are we not disapointing our Father. Why not keep all 10 commandments. including Sabbath and no graven images. dont we Love him enough to do that

Because when it comes down to it, most people are about status and politics.
"and why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?" (Matthew 15:3)
"thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that." (Mark 7:13)
It is important to note that man's traditions are not the Ten Commandments. That is why the Commandments were written in stone by the finger of God and the ordinances that accompanied them were written by Moses' hand on inferior and temporary substance. It was those (written ordinances) that were "nailed to the cross". Many Christians have used a misunderstanding of this to "transgress the commandment of God for the sake of ... tradition?" (Matthew 15:3)

When you say things like, " living above the laws " it makes you sound like one of those people who convince themselves that they are sinless. You know, a Legalist. Are you are Legalist who thinks that you are sinless?
I have a problem living the laws because I am a sinner, who is saved by grace through faith. God has declared me righteous by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I need Jesus because there is no way I can live the Law.
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question.
7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith.
10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."
( Acts 15 )
Amen.

The problem is, you see the world as all needing to be Christian and to follow Christian laws. But there are thousands of different belief systems and religions, so of course not all people would believe in the Ten Commandments and everything that your book teaches. It's not that people have a *problem* with being good or anything, it's that most of the world has totally different views and beliefs so of course they wouldn't follow your ideas and Christian-based laws.
Peace.

because
God if all knowing saw that this would come about
worship no God but Me.
that makes Me, the God.
thus
M=IVI (sealed together)=IIII I (sealed together)
e=arm(pictured symbolically)
thus
Me=IIII I (sealed together) arm
and
me=lerri (cut up and mixed up)
so
CHRISTIANIT
II
C GOD RIST I A IV I liT(when read between the lines)
GOD sums up to H
so since your don't worship Me, your obviously rejecting Jesus and CHRISTIANIT and CHRISTMAS
which is C H RIST M AS.

Not everyone believes in Jesus. And if Old Testament law is so important to you, do you keep all 613 commandments contained therein?

Not everybody lives by them or thinks they are all important. For example, not putting any other gods before the Christian god is kind of discriminating isn't it?

according to my christian friends we are born sinners, so its impossible to follow all of Gods laws cause we are already flawed..the only thing we can do is seek redemption....and how do you love someone you have never met anyway??
