Regarding the moral law of God - of course.
The moral law, as defined in Romans 2:14,15, has been defined by your self as the Ten Commandments. Correct? I agree with the exception of the Sabbath, the keeping of which I do not find either moral or immoral but amoral.
I don't believe you keep any of these commandments.
Let's take a few of them and see.
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me--the sin of idolatry.
The definition of idolatry is anything that comes between you and God. It is not simply a graven image like the Hindus worship.
Paul, in 1Cor.10, recounts the many blessings that Israel had as they were led out of Egypt and through the wilderness to the Promised Land. But on the way they kept on rebelling. What does Paul call it:
1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as
were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
--First note that it is written for our example that we should learn from them.
Second, verse 6 condemns them for their sin of lusting.
Third, verse 7, tells us that they were idolaters referring to the same sins.
Summing it up, and also referring back to verse 7 Paul says:
1 Corinthians 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
--This is addressing the Corinthians, who were proud and covetous. They were committing idolatry.
Again:
Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
Idolatry is allowing anything to come between you and God. It could be your computer, cell phone, family, business, etc.
In the parable of the Great Supper there were three excuses that were given:
I have purchased some land, and I must go see it.
I have purchased five yoke (or ten) oxen, and I must go and prove or try them.
I have married a wife and therefore cannot come.
The areas of commerce and real-estate, materialism, and personal affections were put ahead of Christ. They had become idols in these lives. Christ later said of them: "None of these shall eat of my supper."
The last warning and word of encouragement given by John is:
1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
This comes right out of the blue just after he says:
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true,
even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Why? Because anything in this world, good or bad, can become between you and God, and that is an idol. What comes between you and God; distracts you from your worship; from the time that you ought to be spending with God? That is an idol.
Thou shalt not bear false witness...
Bob, that is simply "telling a lie." Have you ever told a lie?
According to James 2:10 if you have you are on the same level as a murderer. You have broken all the commandments. Every man is a liar. You cannot escape this one.
And of course (complete silence) until we get "another repeat" of the question. (DHK Ducking the point made above - of course.
I have ducked nothing. I fail to see any point you have made, but only see the avoidance of the questions asked of you.
How sad that you resort to this method.
The method of sola scriptura, as practiced in Acts 17:11 is that they took the Scripture preached by Paul, studied it to make sure that it was true, and then made a personal application. That is the reason many of them got saved. They made a personal application, something that you fail to do.
