Christ never did tell us that

St. Paul did, Eph. 2:8-10. It is a canonical book of the Cathlic Chruch, so we read it and follow it, as we follow Christ.

Why would you want to frustrate or set-aside the grace of God, anyway?

God forbid. It is by grace that we are saved. You, however, who chop off good works, a necessary divinely ordained part of grace, set aside a part of it.

My point was the ten commandments WERE part of the Hebrew Law and by YOUR reasoning, were not salvific so it followed they were not necessary for salvation

Correct, but the jump of illogic followed, because you absurdly concluded that we can violate them.

You can keep up the charade of what you say I concluded in my comments, I will not try to enlighten you on my point any longer.

Anyone else STILL thinking I concluded we have free rein to disobey the ten commandments? For the record, I did not and I do not.

As to me setting aside the grace of God, you said: good works, a necessary divinely ordained part of grace. This indicates to me a complete imcomprehension of what "grace" means and a total disregard for Scriptural truths that clearly state we do not contribute anything to the sacrifice Christ made on our behalf. He paid the penalty for sin - completely - it is "blood that makes an atonement for the soul" not good works.
