You obviously don’t know or don’t care about what the Bible says about not trying to obey or better still, keeping Hashems 10 commandment law. The consequences are much graver that you seem to realize.

1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Rev 22:14 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.

Blessings in your search for TRUTH.

‘You obviously don’t know or don’t care about what the Bible says about not trying to obey or better still, keeping Hashems 10 commandment law.’

No, I understand that NO ONE, save Christ has ever kept the Law. Remember, trying doesn’t matter, one sin, you have failed. We know, that Elijah and Moses, are the only two humans for sure that went to heaven as they were with Christ during the Transfuguration. Was Moses sinless? no, Eligah? no, Abraham, no, Peter, no, Paul, no, Xone, no. I put myself in there as an equal among them as a sinner. I might even be better than the Apostle Paul, I haven’t killed believers, not that it matters to God. The point being even the greatest men and women of the Bible FAILED to keep the commandments. I’m sure they usually tried to, but in the end they too failed.

Since Moses and Elijah are in heaven, it must be a place for sinners. What kind of sinners? Repentant sinners who rely/ied on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus or the promise thereof.

‘trying to obey’

Of course I do, but I don’t. Same again as Paul. Same as all mankind.

There is no salvation in the Law, only death for sinners. Only death for those such as you...and me. Satan loves that you are seeking salvation in the Law, even he knows it isn’t there.

Through the gift of faith, from Jesus the author and perfecter of the same, granted by the grace of God freely given I am a member of His Kingdom and an heir to his heavenly throne. All works of mine are as ‘filthy rags’. I merit salvation through the works of the Son of God, not my own.

As this is Holy Week, your comments remind me of the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin who sought/gained the the death of the Creator of the world. And the hopelessness of Peter after he had denied his Savior. Your path has that same hopelessness. One slip, one errant thought, you are doomed. Without the forgiveness offered by Christ there is no escape from the Law. Your efforts already have been futile. The Law condemns you...and me.

‘The consequences are much graver that you seem to realize.’

On the contrary, I know the consequences of sin, violation of the Law. It is death. I see the Cross on which the Creator died and paid that penalty for once for all. I also see the empty tomb as Jesus defeated death for once for all and paid the penalty for sin for once for all. The perfect Sacrifice, the only Sacrifice for sin that Father recognizes.

‘Blessings in your search for TRUTH.’

Thanks, but I have already found Him that is the TRUTH, may you do also.

Xone has kept the law because Jesus has already paid the price for every time that he has or will break it. Doesn't mean he won't be chastised in this life but his position as a child of God is secure.

"If the son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed"
