The ten commandments are an essential part of Christian doctrine. The written commandments are the benchmark, the gauge, the judge, the schoolmaster. They are what tells us whether or not we are sinning. They are the objective measure of our sin.

Wow....not at all accurate!

The 10 commandments are nowhere anywhere in the NT or Christian doctrine.

That law was given to OT Isreal, people who did not have the capability to have ' agape' love. The 10 commandments are for fleshly minded man, not those that walk the walk of agape love. The laws are only rules for sense knowledge man who doesn't understand God's love and the working of holy spirit.

Agape love goes far beyond the law. The law is for sense knowledge man who doesn't know God in his heart.

Thus the 10 Commandments are not for Christians.

Well, seeing as how I used ample scriptural examples to support my viewpoint and you didn't, that means I win. :-)
