Christian – ignore the legalist in these forums if you desire a healthy relationship with the Father…
The Sinai Commandments, excluding the 4th, are rooted in the “natural, moral, law of conscience” (Romans 2:14-15) which has been extant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels; therefore, Sinai’s Laws are NOTHING new or novel concerning our Creator’s will for Israel or the Gentile. Sinai’s Commandments simply codify some specificity relevant to behavior for Israel’s children as these Tribes were sanctified by Yahweh for His eschatological purposes as Israel was inundated with paganism that served pagan gods; therefore, Sinai proclaimed Yahweh’s will for Israel sanctified (set apart) from these pagan tribes; Sinai defines Yahweh’s strategy to buffer the influence of paganism on a people group through whom He would bring forth His Messiah to fulfill His promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3) and concerning eschatology, ultimately destroy the works of Satan at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b).
This nonsensical obsession with law is not healthy for the Christian as law is given for the lawless not the righteous (1 Timothy 1:9) and Christians are NOT under law but under grace (Romans 6:14) through the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2) who walks us in obedience through a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17), not letters of sin and death (Romans 8:2) that curse and kill the soul in condemnation through defining sin void atonement (Romans 6:14; Romans 7:6; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6; Galatians 3:10; Galatians 5; Romans 3:20).
Therefore, if you are not born again by faith in Messiah Jesus and you are therefore absent the indwelling Holy Spirit…humbly repent of your sin (Mark 1:15; Acts 3:19) as defined by the Law (Romans 3:20; Romans 2:14-15); humble yourself before our Heavenly Father and confess with a sincere heart that you believe Jesus is Messiah who died to pay your sin-debt (John 3; Romans 10:9-10), receive the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) and walk by the Spirit and LIVE (Galatians 5:16).
Finally,
STOP obsessing over a Law Covenant (Hebrews 8:2) that could never save the soul from Hell or redeem the sin-nature by demanding perfection from same (James 2:10) while providing NO hope of atonement (Romans 8; 1-4; Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16). Eschew the high-minded legalist that desires to place you in bondage to self-righteousness through Law…a life of psychological turmoil and a life that culminates in the “second death” in Hell. Walk in peace with the Father through faith in Jesus as your Messiah and obedience to the Holy Spirit who sanctifies you (Romans 5:1; Galatians 5:16).
