What Commandments are we to obey?

[brakelite2]

The Ten Commandments (including the 4th), would be a good start. However there are more.
Some are corporate commandments (for the church) eg Preach the gospel to every creature;
some are personal eg abide in me;enter ye in at the strait gate etc.
but all of the above will, over time, become a natural outworking of the work and influence of the Holy Spirit in the life. We need not nor ought not to strive to accomplish 100% obedience by our own strength. But the word and/or the Holy Spirit will reveal to us our shortcomings and failures, thus giving us a standard by which we can judge ourselves. When we look in the mirror of the law we will recognise where we need to step up. We confess our sin, we thank God for His forgiveness, and we ask for His cleansing power to be manifest in us so that we do not sin again. And we keep doing that with more and more intensity, with fasting if necessary, until we overcome.

What Commandments are we to obey?

Jesus' followers should obey everything that Jesus teaches. All His teachings are His commandments.

 

[LostSoul]

The ten commandments....for Jesus, Himself said that the most important commandment was to love the Lord with all one's heart, mind, body, and soul. What better way to do this than to obey God's laws?

My apologies if I offend anyone. No offense was intended.

May God Bless You

[Eccl12and13]

Christ has already overcome the sting of death.

There is ONLY one place in the bible where it speaks of Jesus overcoming the 'sting of death' and it HAS NOT HAPPENED YET!!!

1 Cor. 15
[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
[55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
[56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

The overcoming of the sting of death happens at the LAST TRUMP, which is the 7th trump. And it does not happen until we put on our incorruptable bodies.

It's little saying like the one above that lead people astray.

Everything in the law you are to obey, this includes the ten commandments and the other laws in the books of exodus and leviticus. The only things you shouldn't obey are the sacrificual, ritual, and ceremonial commands given, those have been done by Christ and will be restored in heaven, and are no longer neccasary, EVERYTHING else you have to do and command other christians to do.



You will be judged according to these things.



Don't be decieved, Josh

[Nick]

By dying on the cross, and raising from the dead, Jesus has already overcome the sting of death. He has beaten death.

The first of the 10 is the most important:-

Exodus 20:2-3
“I am Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves. 3 You must not have any other gods against my face.

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.KJV

Correction; Jesus quoted from the Hebrew Bible or OT:-

MKJV
Mat 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Mat 22:44 "the LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right until I make Your enemies Your footstool for Your feet?" and Mat 22:43 He said to them, How then does David by the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
x-ref Psa 110:1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I place Your enemies as Your footstool.

Mat 22:37 Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
x-ref Deut 6:5 And you shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

As the NT had not been penned in Jesus day then he qouted from the OT when teaching!

So when Jesus read from the OT in his day he would have read God's name it the Hebrew Text as the MKJV correctly shows,which has been ommited from the later NT (NTs in Hebrew read "YHWH" here for "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" see below*) which then renders a misquote to what Jesus really said!

*Hebrew NT from e-Sword
Matt. 22:44 × ×Â× ×™×â€Ã—•×†×œ×Âדני שב לימיני עד־×Âשית ×Âיביך ×â€Ã—“נלרגליך׃
Mat 22:37 וי×Âמר ישוע ×Âליו ו×Â×â€Ã—‘ת ×Âת ×™×â€Ã—•×†×Âל×â€Ã—™×š בכל־לבÀ˜Ã—Å¡ ובכל־נפשך ובכל־מדעך׃

J. Strong's Hebrew Dictionary No. 3068 ×™×â€Ã—•×†yehôvâh yeh-ho-vaw'
From H1961; (the) self Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the Lord. Compare H3050, H3069.

Thus "The Lord" = "Jehovah" from The OT!

Yes, I do believe "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living". Humanity is given to start the heavenly journey with the weakness of human language, the weakness of that which is natural, and earthly. As we spiritually mature in heavenly things, the Holy Spirit teaches us individually, to understand the meaning of words, apart from human philosophy and education.

People of various understandings believe differently about the outward form of things. I believe uninspired sources, such as definitions from e-Sword, or J. Strong's Hebrew dictionary are good, but staying with the Bible to testify of itself is better.

1 Cor 2:12-16

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. KJV

Again: John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. KJV
