That's nuts...The Ten Commandments are a quick summary of the rest of the laws detailed in Exodus and Deut...The law (all of it) was given to show us what sin is...

The Ten Commandments are not a "quick summary". The Mosaic Law consisted of ceremonial, civil and moral components. The Ten Commandments are included in the latter and as posted above, in Matthew's Gospel Jesus prescribes them when asked how heaven is attained.

You must read Paul through the Gospels. Cherry-picking a few verses from Romans and Galatians will get you into dangerous waters.

Jesus said...."So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:16-19

So Jesus says that He did not come to abolish "the law", yet Paul says that the "the law" is abolished.

So what's going on here? Are they conradicting each other?

So who is that??? Who is Paul talking about who will have no sin imputed to him???

Blessed is the man who has retained his baptismal innocence, that no grievous sin can be imputed to him. And, likewise, blessed is the man, who after falling into sin, has done penance and leads a virtuous life that sin is no more imputed to him.

HaHa...That ain't bible...Esop's Fables???

You seem to have trouble reading, or believing simple scripture...Do you get any of this???

Rom 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Rom 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Can you notice any difference here???

Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Things that are different are not the same...The bible knocks your religion out of the park at every swing...
