Do you keep God's commandments? (obviously there are some commandments that do not apply right now cause we do not know the whereabouts of His tabernacle etc., but of those that can be kept I am interested if you keep them - I am only interested in a yes or no reply at this point - take time and consider before replying - thank you)

Yes, by loving the Lord my God with all my heart, and all my soul, I am keeping all the commandments.

Do you keep God's commandments


My carnal nature fights with my spiritual nature. The Spirit is willing, but my 'bodily nature' keeps coming to the for front. Thank your God for your Grace.

Yes, I keep all the commandments of God in as much as I keep the two great commandments:

Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 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.
Paul confirms that obedience to these two commandments fulfills the law of God:

Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
It is through Christ and the Spirit that He gave me that I fulfill God's commandments:

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
We know that the Bible teaches that we are fulfilling all the commandments of God through faith in Christ and His Spirit because anyone breaking the commandments would not have peace with God, but the Bible says we do have peace with God, so we know we have fulfilled His commandments through faith in Christ. This is confirmed by Christ Himself:

John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

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.

You say to God that you love Him by keeping His commandments and ways.

You see how often Paul gets quoted when the issue of keeping the commandments comes up? The last chapter of the old testaments reminds us to remember the commandments, and the last chapter of the new testament says blessed are those who keep His commandments. So if you truly keep God's commandments blessed be thee!

Which commandments are you talking about? Do you keep all the commandments that God gave to Israel in the OT? Are you an Israelite?

1 Timothy 1:9 (New King James Version)
9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

I don't think I'm a part of Israel, or a Jew so God's commandments don't apply to me - right? Wrong! In Genesis 28:14 God says to Jacob (whose name He changed to Israel): "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south:... "
And in Numbers 15:15 God says "One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD."

Whether I be an Israelite or not I do not know. But surely I must be at least a stranger that sojourneth with some.
