I don’t reject the commandments. I reject the idea that Christians are bound by them as a code today. I believe if we are subject to that law we are responsible for the whole law. My contention is that we are under a higher law, the law of Christ. That said, nine of the ten were reiterated in the New Testament, so we are certainly subject to those commands. The only practical point of disagreement concerns the 4th Commandment, i.e. the Sabbath.

“Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.” —Colossians 2:16

Typical ‘christian’ twist of the word.

Let no man but the body of Yeshua judge you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.” —Colossians 2:16

And the body of Yeshua will definitely be cheering Yeshua’s judgement that he passes on you at the great white throne.

No arguments here, but unfortunately the fruit of a great majority who claim to be Christians today, is rotten. I'm not judgin, that's just the facts. It's why 1 in 3 pregnancies end in death of the baby, most marriages end in divorce, many denominations have defiled the Almighty's institution of marriage, ...

The written law is for those who do not have the law written on their hearts and evidently many today don't.

Preach it, brother.
