If your Christian you don't need to do anything but believe Jesus is G-d. Ten Commandments Jesus fulfilled them, Sabbath observance Jesus fulfilled, 613 laws Jesus fulfilled.\n\nIt was actually brilliant on Paul's part make a religion that all you have to do is believe. The perfect marketing plan. Want eternal salvation Just believe want eternal damnation don't believe

You can't really.  You can ignore the sin around you, but that means you're turning your back on your faith.  Tolerance has somehow become the 11th commandment, and tries to do away with the other 10 entirely. . .and kills truth.  There is right, there is wrong, and there is absolute truth.

Why stick even with the 10 Commandments?  All we need are the two commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your mind, all your heart, all your soul, and all your strengh; love your neighbor like yourself.  And as Jesus says, this is just a condension of the entire rest of the Bible.  So you could take the rest of the Bible or leave it, the message still ought to be the same.  It shouldn't change Christianity, and to a large degree I think it wouldn't; people would just keep on doing what they've always done.

How long do you think it will be before a person or group successfully reassembles the bible to include recently discovered religious texts that they feel better suit modern times?\n\nNever.  For all practical purposes, the Bible as now been “set in stone.”\n\nWhat do you think about this?\n\nI believe that those who tend to be the loudest on this topic have either done the least amount of study or have very extensive time invested in their current belief.  Most claim as articles of fact pieces of information which are not true.  Less than one in one billion (if any) could give me that actual names of the men who met to determine which books and works were included in either Testament.  Yet they propose that these men were inspired by G-d to make these choices for all time.  They are seem to ignore that most works which were not included were systematically searched for and burned as heretical.  The mere fact that any remain after 2000 years is a miracle.\n\nWhat will the cultural/spiritual ramifications of this be?\n\nA continuation of our current position.  As beautiful as the KJV is to read, it is flawed.  This fact has been shown over and over again by scholars who do know the languages involved.  Yet look at the number of supporters that it has.  The sad part of this is that many who claim to understand the meaning of the KJV of the Bible (which is a very serious and metaphysical work) do not understand and cannot follow a simple Shakespearean play (which is light entertainment) that was written at about the same time.  What does this yell you about the ignorance of humans?  And ignorance is bliss.\n\nIf God is really solely responsible for the bible's contents why does he have hundreds of millions of Christians using different versions?  And how would a new version be any worse?\n\nThose humans who claim to be privileged to the plans or purposes of Divinity are deluded.  No human has that capability.  Only Divinity is perfect.  Humanity is arrogant, not understanding that the message is important, not the delivery of the message.  Those that must quote scripture for every answer (especially those claiming that it is the Word of G-d) are probably idolaters.  They have worshipped the written word instead of Divinity.  Each believing that they are right and all others wrong.  They are the cause of the fragmentation of the Church and people like them are usually too stubborn to see their own sins.\n\nA new version of the Bible is not needed.  These recently discovered and translated works should be made available to the widest reading audience for study and debate.  At least by those who are capable of understanding that Humanity did not have the message right then and still is lacking in understanding.  This is human nature.  Divinity is the only proper judge; and Divine Judgment, unlike human opinion and understanding, IS perfect.

The 10 commandments of the bible can be applied to all situations including social relations, in fact, if we all followed them we would have a wonderful world and incredible relationships.

Because most of those old laws are really just an embarassment to the religion, so they are desperate to find a way to rationalize their abolishment.  Where in the bible does it say that the 10 commandments are still ok, but not stoning for adultery or putting women in tents during their periods?\n\nThe entire religion is based on 2 things:  Picking and choosing which "holy books" were included in the final version of the bible, and then picking and choosing which verses in those books de-emphasised the Jewish tradition and emphasised what they wanted their new religion to say.

I don't know how you presume that "faithful" people have a resignation of those things. Where did you get this information?\nI don't know where you live but many of the medical practices where I live are Christian. Dental offices also.\nThe thing I see as relevant though, if people stuck to the 10 commandments and always kept them, most disease, war and suffering wouldn't exist.

Churches have always argued concerning the true Sabbath, and each has a different reason for worshipping Saturday or Sunday. Catholics will readily admit that they have the authority to change the Sabbath since the pope is the "vicar of Christ" or in the place of Christ. Seventh Day Adventist have a pretty good argument for still keeping the Saturday Sabbath...they claim no biblical passage authorizes a change in the 10 commandments, and unlike other laws that were written on paper to show that they won't last forever, the 10 commandments (including the Sabbath) were the only laws written on stones to signify it's everlasting place. Now you have Harold Camping from Family Radio, he has a pretty good argument for Sunday worship, the best I've seen so far, and YES, he uses the bible to support his view very well. I will post two links. one of Harold camping just scroll down on the left and click on SUNDAY THE SABBATH. The other link is of Samuele Bacchiocchi's book FROM SUNDAY TO SABBATH. This way you get to see both sides of the coin.

Yes.  All who claim to be followers of Christ (true Christians) desire to emulate His life of always seeking His Father's will.  Jesus Christ kept the commandments and instructed believers to do so as well.  He summed up God's ten commandments in two: Love God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.  The first four of the ten are relative to our relationship with God, the last six are relative to our relationship with others.  \n\nAt any rate, God's commandments have not changed because God has not changed.  The fact that the commandments were place INSIDE the ark of the Covenant is very significant when we understand that He has placed His law IN the hearts of all who believe.\n\n"I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."  Jeremiah 31:33b-34 \n\nMany times the argument is made: "The commandments were given to a race of people called the 'Jews", so they are not applicable to anyone else."  This is absurd and is supported NO WHERE in scripture.\n\nOne must only study Romans 2:28-29 and Galations 3:28-29 and the surrounding text to know what scripture defines as a "true Jew".  A "true Jew" is from the world "Yahudim" which is from "Yahuah" or "YHWH", the Most High God.  So, Yahudim are Yahuah's people.  His name is in their name.  \n\nThey are all who by faith are "God's people" and have been circumcised of the HEART not of the FLESH.  God's commandments are for God's people, a group who has always exceeded the bounds of time, race, or gender.  When Israel was formed as a "people", ANY one who obeyed God's law was considered part of Israel.\n\nCaleb, a Kenezite, is the best example.  He loved and obeyed God and followed the tribe of Judah.  Race had nothing to do with his FAITH in God.  All who considered themselves "Christians" should obey God's commandments.\n\n"For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh;\n\nFor he is a Jew which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men; but of God."  Romans 2:28-29\n\n"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond, nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one IN CHRIST JESUS.\n\nAnd if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."  Galations 3:28-29\n\nAlso, if the commandments have been "done away", why is the confirmation, admonition, and rebuke for not keeping them in the very last books of scripture?\n\n"And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.\n\nHe that saith, 'I know Him', and keepeth not His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.\n\nBut whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.\n\nHe that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."  I John 2:3-6\n\n"Here is thepatience of the saints: here are they that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, and the faith of Jesus."  Revelation 14:12\n\n"Blessed are they that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."  Revelation 22:14

yes, the 8 fold path is much more profound in my view as well.  all of the 10 commandments could be contained in just a few of the 8 guidelines.  right action and right view would probably cover those 10.  to me, there's something much more attractive about a suggestion than a command.

They will never be out of date insofar as they are still relevant today.  The rest of the Bible speaks about other sins but in different ways.  The Book of Leviticus takes the commandments and explains more in depth what each one means and what God wants for our lives.  In some ways though, I think we do need an updated set so that people will have no way to question what God wants.  You must look to the Greek text to find out about recreational drugs, you need better language to tell people that homosexuality is wrong, they don't understand the man lying with another man, as a woman idea or that it is an abomination, or that living together is not right.  You can go on forever trying to update those Ten Commandments, but, ultimately, all the answers are already in the Bible.  You just have to search for them and obey them.  God doesn't want His Word turned into a lie, as is being done in today's society.

Amen... if I'm still allowed to say that....

Can you follow the 10 commandments?  Can you go without breaking a single one?  Neither can anyone else.  The laws were given to show the need for a messiah to die and atone for our sins.  Rom. 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law\n\n By setting out a perfect pattern covering the various facets of life, it showed up the Jews as sinners. It became evident that, despite any good intentions and diligent efforts, they could not measure up to its requirements. Using the Jews as a sample of the imperfect human family, the Law exposed all the world, including each one of us, as sinners, liable to God for punishment. (Rom. 3:19, 20)Thus it emphasized the need for a savior for mankind, and it led faithful ones to Jesus Christ as that Savior. In what way? It identified him as the only one who kept the Law perfectly, thus the only human who was sinless.\n\nWas the Mosaic Law ever meant to be binding on all mankind? (Ps. 147:19, 20; Ex. 31:12, 13)\n\nDid Jehovah give any indication to Israel that someday the Law covenant would end? (Jer. 31:31-33; Heb. 8:13)\n\n In the light of this, what is implied by arguing that the Mosaic Law is still in force? In effect, this constitutes a repudiation of faith in Jesus Christ. Why is that so? Because such a view rejects the fact that Jesus fulfilled the Law, thus paving the way for God to terminate it. To persons who professed to be Christians but who were swayed by arguments in favor of keeping the Law, or some portion of it, the apostle Paul forcefully wrote: “You are parted from Christ, whoever you are that try to be declared righteous by means of law; you have fallen away from his undeserved kindness.”—Gal. 5:4; see also Romans 10:2-4.

The commandment is correctly translated as 'thou shall not murder'.  Killing, in self-defense or in a time of war is permitted, even obligatory.

Do we need to follow the ten commandments, they are part of the old testament and we are supposed to follow the new testament.
