Does this Commandment only apply to the Jewish people today? What about Christians and everybody else in the world?

None of God's Law was ever nailed to the Cross or otherwise abolished. The only thing nailed to the Cross was the written record of our sins (Deut. 31:28-29) -- because He paid the Price (2Tim. 1:8-10).

All of God's Law still applies to all people -- believer and non-believer alike. The Final Judgment is still based upon God's Law. That cannot be changed. The only reason true followers of Christ are not subject to the Final Judgment is because Jesus Christ already paid the Price for our violations of God's Law.
God bless.

Who allowed this? Not God. Not Christ. Not Paul. Not Peter. You dare ignore God's Commandment to keep the Seventh-day (Saturday) Sabbath holy? Good luck with that.
God bless.

None of the Commandments were "nailed to the cross". If committing adultery is violating the love your neighbor as yourself law, what is forgetting the Sabbath violating? Sabbath is the only one that starts with Remember, and it's the first one the Sunday worshipers forgot. The first four of the 10 commandments all had to do with loving God. Sabbath was not just for the Jews...if you read the Bible you will know that the Gentiles also kept the Sabbath. Adam and Eve kept the Sabbath too!

This whole "nailed to the cross" thing is so utterly misunderstood. What was nailed to the cross if you study the scriptures honestly is the penalty that the Law required for our sins. There is so much evidence in the NT that the Law is still valid and in force for a believer in Yeshua that it is plain that it takes a call and revealiing from the Creator God to understand it.
Hogie: So, the "Spirit" of the Law, by which you show love towards neighbor prevents you from committing adultery. How come that same "Spirit" of the Law prevents you from showing love to the Creator God by keeping HIS SABBATH?
Learn to worship in spirit and in truth, Hogie.
Fireball: Don't know exactly what cult you used to belong to that kept the Sabbath, I suspect that you, Hogie and I were all in that "cult". Because some people get unbalanced and start holding up some human leader as something that he was not, does not deny the basic truth of his message.
If it is who I think it is, look at the world around you and go back and compare it to what he taught about prophecy. You need to read 1 John 2:4, as does Hogie, and really think about what it says.

No commandments were nailed to the cross.
Only the penalty for breaking the commandments was nailed to the cross. If my brothers and sisters in messiah would learn a little of history and the jargon of the time they could get past this silly false doctrine and the enemy (people like you being used by Satan) would have no opening for an attack.
Fireball, That is heresy and you have no scriptural reference to back up such a claim. NONE.

Jesus said he did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He just made it so that we are not a slave to the law. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't follow it. All throughout the new testament it talks about sexual sin being detestable and Jesus clarified the idea of the adultery law by saying something like "you have heard it said 'thou shall not commit adultery' but I say if you look at a woman with lust you have already committed adultery in your heart"
so yah it applies to everyone since Jesus came to be the Lord of everyone.

Gal 5:14 says that all the law if fulfilled in this commandment "...thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" so not commiting adultery is implicit within this commandment for Christians too.

The command against adultery is repeated in the Christian Greek scriptures so yes, it's still considered a sin.

Yes, it applies to everybody. Jesus said the two greatest commandments were to love the Lord and to love your neighbor (neighbor = people). To commit adultery is to violate the latter.

Yeah it applies to Christians and Jesus took it a step further and said don't commit adultery even in your mind or your heart.
