“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. “
Apparently you do not understand the importance of the terminology...the Nazarene fulfilled the Law hence and forever more GRACE is that which is necessary.
There are over 600 laws in Judaism the Ten Commandments just being a part. There is no way anyone can keep just those ten; either in thought, word, or deed you’ve broken all of them. Since the Law belongs to the Jews, Christians are under Grace.
It might be essential but it is impossible. Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
I hardly know where to begin, so let me make it simple: if I am required to keep all ten of the commandments in their entirety, with no slips (which, you would have to admit, includes Jesus' modifications) to avoid experiencing the curse, what was the purpose of Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection???
I do my best to hold my life up to the Commandments because God gave them so we may be happy. I'm not perfect but I accept that I can do better in a world where sin is all around us. Paul gave over 95 things that are sinful! Do we just say "never-mind, I have GRACE!". A huge lie for the quick and easy salvation hucksters!
Jesus taught the commandments and many times Paul teaches to lay aside the old man. I'm sticking with scripture.
