The topic on The Ten Commandments has been discussed for quite some time now, therefore, I have established a poll to see where people are at over this important topic.

Nine people have voted, however, I would appreciate more of you voting on this important topic.

I want to thank those of you who have participated in this POLL.

I have sent a forum email to recruit others to participate in this POLL.

I will be interested in seeing what the result of this POLL is.

Daryl:

As I look at the results, I ask: How could your expect any different from the people who post here?

I was sent an e-mail asking me to reply to a question about the 10 commandments. It said I was not allowed to post an answer.

Hello Alice, and welcome to Maritime SDA OnLine!

Only registered members of MSDAOL would have received that email from me, therefore, you are obviously a registered member of MSDAOL.

You obviously posted here without logging on. In order to participate in the POLL you first need to log on as a registered member under your registered username and password.

Just noticed your post.

Well, with the way some of the topics on The Law were going, I just wanted to take a POLL and see.

Maybe I will do another more detailed one.

Hi Daryl,

Pity help us if the church ever abolished the 10 commandments. Wow, we'd be sunk good and proper.
I believe we've got too slack in some issues - ie. pastors performing second marriages where no adultery has happened etc.

We sure have to be lots more broad minded these days which is a pity

But one thing we must remember - the Seventh Day is the Sabbath till the end and if we're not keeping that we're sunk like the Titanic!

The law must be abolished and no longer binds any man on earth, otherwise Christ has a competitor.

To be saved or to be lost is no longer depends on keeping or not keeping the law but on our attitude or character. Do you have the love of God in your heart that welcomes you to live in heaven or do you still have the love for self that separates you from heaven? That is the main point of to live eternally or to lost eternally thanks to the work of redemption of Christ that has given our lives back.

James,
It saddens me to see the reply you posted here.
If you truly believe what you have said, then you are saying that Jesus lied (or didn't know what He was saying ) when He said He came not to destroy (do away with or abolish), but to fulfill the law, Mat.5:17.
Keeping the law of God will not save us, because if we 'offend in one part', we are guilty of 'all'.

The apostle James had this to say about it, But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty , and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. [chpt.1 v. 25]

We will be judged by this law, so, how can you say that it should be abolished?
These ten precepts govern our relationship to God [ first four] and our relationship to each other [last six]
Technically, you could say that the 5th also governs our relationship to our heavenly Father, we are to 'honor your father and mother', we are also supposed to honor our Heavenly father.
Jesus, our prime example, set the tone: John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Hi Jerry I just edited this to fix the red font code for you.
