Forky, I would hate to be as ignorant as me too, but that's a different story and not at all related to the issue being discussed.

Forky, forky, forky, slither and hiss, slither and hiss.

The challenge was: Point to one of Jesus's Commandments that "Christians" are breaking.

If you can't give a single "for example" from the Bible then, from where is your outrage stemming
&&&&&
I would hate to be so ignorant as you . Jesus is Salvation He is The REDEEMER.
Do you understand that Jesus taught only what his Father have him speak? DON'T You know that doing as Jesus taught you are OBEYING what the Father told his people do. Jesus didn't give authority to man to create a religion because you will be judged by what Jesus taught Not by what religion says. John 12:46-50

Forky, forky, forky, slither and hiss, slither and hiss.

What Laws do Christians break. Everyone of his Laws. If you break one you guilty of breaking all. You might just want to read the top 4 . There is only one God that I listen to and it is the Lord God Jesus The Christ because He was sent by the Father to save the Word. Listening and doing what Jesus taught us OBEDIENCE TO have FAITH in Jesus not going off to some religious minded religion. . Christian Religion is based of of LIES HALF-TRUTHS FABLES TRADITIONS AND FALSE INTERPRETATION of the Good News of eternal Life. Y'all need to read the Good News to determine if you want eternal life or the Lake of Fire.
You choose. Jesus or religion.

And God SPOKE all these words:

2 "I am the LORD YOUR GOD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 "You shall have NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.

4 "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing LOVE to a thousand generations of THOSE WHO LOVE ME and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.

7 "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

8 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY day by keeping it holy. 9 SIX DAYS YOU SHALL LABOR and DO ALL YOUR WORK, 10 but the SEVENTH DAY is a SABBATH to the Lord your God. On it you SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Springy, What has gotten in to you? You said something we both finally agree on. Good Job Springy!

So, Forky, no commandment comes to mind that Christians fail to follow?

So the Pharisees and TEACHERS OF THE LAW ASKED JESUS, "WHY DON'T YOUR DISCIPLES DISCIPLES LIVE ACCORDING TO THE TRADITIONS OF THE ELDERS instead of eating their food with defiled hands?"

6 HE REPLIED, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about YOU HYPOCRITES; as it is written:

"'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.'[b]

8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions."

The answer is none of them because they are all fake.

Hey Forky! Have you missed me as much as I've missed you? Gosh, if I knowed where to find you I'd give you a big ole smooch on the jaw and a hug.

I'm thinking about running a special on the bridge and the beachfront property. Everyone that goes along with Mikey's crap, now's your chance for a real bargain.

You need to be talking to the Christian folk because they are the gullible.

Do you understand what Jesus was telling the woman of Samara ???

"Sir," the woman said, "you must be a prophet. 20 So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim,[c] where our ancestors worshiped?"

21 Jesus replied, "Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. 23 But the time is coming-indeed it's here now-when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. 24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."

25 The woman said, "I know the Messiah is coming-the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."

26 Then Jesus told her, "I am the Messiah

I'm thinking about running a special on the bridge and the beachfront property. Everyone that goes along with Mikey's crap, now's your chance for a real bargain.

What did the Jews say when they were told the TRUTH by Jesus.

John 10:20
"And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him

Do people of today care for the TRUTH????

Take the leap of Faith in God not religion.

John 14
New Living Translation
Jesus, the Way to the Father
14 "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2 There is more than enough room in my Father's home.[a] If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?[b] 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4 And you know the way to where I am going."

5 "No, we don't know, Lord," Thomas said. "We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

See what I mean? If there is such a thing as the Devil, he's sure got a grip on Mikey's tongue and keyboard.

There you go Wilkes; you got your answer from God
&&&&&

Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

"'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.'[b]

8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions."

9 And he continued, "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions!

There you go Wilkes; you got your answer from God himself via Mikey his ordained earthly messenger. How could you possibly not heed Mikey, aren't you convinced that one can be a follower of Christ and not be a Christian? Don't you believe that using Christian sources to "validate" one's preaching does not necessarily mean that you belong to the Christian religion? Shame on you, you must be some kind of heretic! Mikey has a direct line to God, and I've still got that beachfront property and the bridge if you're in the market.

Faith: Belief in something that cannot be proved.

Religion: A system of worship and belief.

So, you don't adhere to religious traditions? Okay, do you attend church weekly or more often? Do you have priests, bishops, and a prophet.
&&&&&&'

Do I adhere to religious traditions or condone them ? NO NOWAY Why should I go to a righteous Christian Religion church that teaches lies half-truths fables traditions and false interpretation. If you are of God you have a direct line to the Father through Jesus. No need for church with a bunch of people thinking they are saved when they follow religion.. You either follow and do as Jesus taught or not. Religion CAN'T Save only Jesus can do that through the Power of God. Read the Bible what did Jesus say about Traditions??? So you can go ahead and start reading I've taken the time to post you what Jesus taught.

7 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus 2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.[a])

5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?"

6 He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

"'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.'[b]

8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions."

9 And he continued, "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions!

So, you don't adhere to religious traditions? Okay, do you attend church weekly or more often? Do you have priests, bishops, and a prophet? Do you hold 'sacrament' meetings where men, women, and younger members offer prayers and give sermons, sing hymns, and partake of the sacrament? Absolutely none of these practices are in the Bible. The church was never meant to be a building-that's a Catholic tradition, starting from when we met in houses. Jewish people met at the temple once a week; that's not in the Bible, it's tradition. Sacrament meetings are based on the Catholic Mass, complete with their version of the Eucharist. So, tell me again how you don't follow a religion with traditions? Tell me any denomination, and I'll highlight the traditional aspects of it.

Faith: Belief in something that cannot be proved.
