The 10 Commandments were only given to Israel.

I would only add that it's my personal experience that the more and closer we walk with the Holy Spirit, the easier it is to ignore the flesh.   I guess it will never go away in this life, but it gets easier and easier to say "NO" to it.

Yup--it may be considered a 'mechanical' tool, but I have found over time that  when a temptation of some sort rises from my flesh, I look away from and to Christ in that moment and say to Him, "no--I want you, Lord". "I choose you".

What usually goes through my mind is a picture of Satan standing at the foot of the cross pointing at me and yelling at Jesus, "Did you see what he did?"

We are not under the Torah. Not the ten commandments or the 613 commandments. We are totally under Jesus the son of God. Also the new testament letters are holy spirit inspired. The Apostles wrote them by the holy spirit. We are told to hold the traditions that are handed down. We follow there commandments. A born again person does not want to sin. But it still takes our efforts and will to practice righteousness. It's the good fight of faith. Jesus will us. He please for us to God the Father. We would fail if he didn't.

If you aren't Jewish then the 613 Mitzvot never applied to you anyway.

We do know this and that has always boggles my mind how someone  Christian( born gentile,non Jew) would think any of the Law would pertain to them!

But that wasn't my point,my point was for anyone who takes that position they had better understand what exactly the " Law" is- the Law is not merely 10 Commandments and yet so many Christians seem ignorant to it

For example Slibhin,take sda( 7th Day Adventist - they claim they are Sabbath keepers- on Saturday they go to church?!!!! It seems that's all they focus on and what the Word of God is Saying is we are Saved by God's Grace,not by keeping any Law,Commandment,works,deeds of effort  ... But by the Grace of God,church on Sunday,synogogue on Saturday is irrelevant - we go to worship God because we love Him& not out of obligation or mandate- those are traditions of men & God Does not Desire these things not burnt sacrifice

My mother was not a Jew,neither was my father,I'm not a Jew nor can I be a Jew - I'm grafted in but still I'm not Jewish.The Law has never pertained to me so why would I take that yoke upon myself and be bound by it? But God Says,if I do then I have 613 Laws to abide by- the point of course is,no one can do that- Jesus Did,He was without sin

Anyway,Christians putting themselves under the Law is absurd imo.

The 10 commandments were spoken by God and heard by all at the mount. They are for all

who would desire "to hear the Voice of God, and Live". How can you say the ten do not apply to 

Christians, when the reality it is that they have been applied to them, written on our hearts.

If the commandments are written on our hearts, they are applied to our lives, if we listen and obey. Shemah!

I think we should focus on the two commandments that Jesus gave us...   He taught that we should not even want to break any of the ten.   He also told us we are our brothers keeper.    Not to murder, but if you hate, you are already guilty.   Not to commit adultery, but if you lust, you are already guilty.

I think there is much more to Jesus's instructions than ten don'ts.                That's just my personal opinion gleaned from reading it all.    Of course that doesn't mean you can do the don'ts for if you follow his instructions you will not even want to.
