If you love me Keep my commandments. (John 14:15)
I have seen a good number of articles where people would stand up and protest, the taking down of monuments with The Ten Commandments. They will fund lawyers to fight the Atheists who are offended by their very sight. The grounds of separation of church and state is always their cause, but are they the commandments of the various churches or the commandments of God? Shouldn’t the cause be separation of God and state? Seems that would have the appropriate standing for their cause.
But the churches who defend the public display of the commandments are the very ones that claim to no longer be under the law. Some claim Jesus kept them in our stead. Others claim they were nailed to the cross. I believe it was Jesus that was nailed to the cross for the forgiveness of sin as the final sacrifice after He taught us to walk away from sin and follow Him.
Many claim we are saved by Grace alone and not subject to the law. Tell that to a judge next time you get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt and see what happens. Some claim the law of liberty nullifies the laws of God. The law of liberty is not the liberty to be lawless. Neither is the precious blood of the lamb of God shed by His good grace a license to sin.
Matthew 5:17-20
KJV(i) 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law (G3551), or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (G4137). 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (G3551), till all be fulfilled (G1096). 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments (G1785), and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Isaiah 28:5-17
KJV(i) 5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, 6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. 7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept (H6673) must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line (H6857) upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
