Can I be pagan and answer this ? Well it probably won't get me best answer but what the hell, I will anyway !
1. Using my own life as an example of how people can balance their energy and show peace and love to all no matter who they are or what their path is (religion)
2. If you are speaking of the ten commandments ... I don't follow them in the way Christan's do. I believe there are some great ideas and concepts there, but I don't follow the "commandments" per sae(spelled wrong?). I do however follow my heart and instinct, which comes from my guides.
My struggles come from trying to stay out of inflammatory discussions. Especially discussion that have no path to a middle ground and are only made to infuriate the each other.
at times I also struggle with trying to show compassion and love to those who brush me off because I don't follow their ways or traditions ... You'll see it unfold right on YA when I get thumbs down for answering in this way ...
Peace and love

1) By following question two.
2) I struggle every day, with a good majority of the commandments. Do I give in to the struggles? Not as often as I use to.

I'm not an orthodox Jew but I still believe in forgiveness and treating mankind with nothing but luv and respect and doing my best for those whom I meet.
I struggle with only the goodness within me, theres a situation in my life where someone close to me is being harmed I cannot do anything apart from pray - if I wasn't the moral person I am I would have done something drastic to remove a negative energy from the situation.
Because of my outlook on life I saved (yes saved) this persons life. I don't let this get to me I don't allow myself to get all beefed up with high self esteem I just know that I'm doing that which is needed of me.

I feel being a true Christian is following what is outlined for us in THE NEW TESTAMENT. I think the downfall of Christianity is also following the rules of the OLD TESTAMENT.
Jesus tells us that his life respresents a new way, a new covenant that replaces the old. Thats why we can't follow both books.
The golden rule, do unto others and you would have done unto you sums it all up.
I don't think that "personal" sins that don't hurt anyone else are sins at all. The Old Testament was all about that.
I struggle because in this world and society, we are indirectly told that the path to success is through the destruction, manipulation, and usage of others to our own benefit. That is wrong, and you can live a good and rich life without doing this, but it is very difficult and takes time.

1) knowing that God loves me unconditionally, and has a plan for my life and that I am forgiven for the sins that would otherwise seperate me from Him if I were not His child..
2) On a daily basis, I need His help to follow his commands - if I am truly being honest. I do not steal, I don't lie to people, I don't kill (but maybe I do when I hurt my family with my words), I try not to covet but sometimes that's hard if you havent' been on a family vacation in 5 years and your neighbor is travelling yet again this year this time on a mini golf vacation - and then feel guilty for thinking that when I know there are orphaned children in Africa searching for anything to eat.

human beings anticipate that similarity leads to larger tolerance and expertise while that may not constantly the case. as quickly as you strip those religions of the superficial similarities e.g. beef taboos in Islam & Judaism those style of three faiths have distinctive perception structures that artwork in any different case so once you flow previous the trivia they're in certainty distinctive techniques of questioning. besides the nearer they're the greater risk for conflict. as an occasion Muslims constantly want to bang on with regard to the crusades yet they seem to are turning out to be over the mongol invasions, this is because of the fact Islam and Christianity have a dating notwithstanding the mongol invasion replaced into some distance far greater adverse than the crusaders have been. that's as much as contributors of those religions to make the peace and attempting to rigidity human beings to love one yet another that's what modern-day society does, would not artwork.

Being a true christian is loving thy neighbor regardless. I think that is the hardest to struggle with daily. Being successful at it is knowing that you are not perfect, but can try your best for excellence. That being said it is then a matter of keeping focused on what God expects of us and staying in those boundaries.

The most important part of being a Christian is JESUS. Many people refer to themselves as Christians but do not have a relationship with Christ. The definition of Christian is follower of JESUS CHRIST. I have no problem with the basic commandments it is those that JESUS explained such as how in GODs' eyes hate or insult is the same as murder.
Remember, GOD loves you even when you don't love Him!
