The Law was for the Jews. Those in Christ are free from having to obey it.

So you only obey nine Commandments? Or are there other Commandments that also inconvenience y'all?

So you are under the law of sin and death ... good luck with that. Jesus covered that with His Precious, sinless, real blood, so that we read ‘there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.’ Try it! You’ll like it!

Galatians 3:10-14 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”

But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

Go ahead and keep the Law if you think you can and if you think it will do you any good.

See if you can do it, and get back to us and let us know how it worked out.

Actually there were an estimated 613 requirements regarding the Law. Not just the ten. As Paul noted, and the Law, and James, you had to keep ALL of the Law or you were guilty of the whole Law.

. Have you kept the ENTIRE Law??

Do YOU obey the speed limits that are set in Jerusalem?
