What is being overlooked here is that you can obey all 10 commandments and go to hell. For example, you can be innocent of not killing anyone in the Old Testament. If you hated your brother but didn't kill him you obeyed the commandment "thou shalt not kill". The law is outward, but with me, the law is written inside on my heart.
BUT WITH JESUS THE STAKES ARE MUCH HIGHER. If you hate your brother, you have broken the commandment thou shalt not kill as Jesus expanded upon it even if you didn't physically kill him.
Glenn - I don't think you obey the Old Testament. Forgive me for being so bold, dear sister. :-) You might pick and choose a very minute part of the Old Testament.
Yes, that’s very true. I am just working on obeying all 10, rather than 9, commandments. Izzy
