"The most holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and teaches that the Mosaic Law ... cannot be observed without the loss of eternal salvation ... Everyone, therefore, who observes circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the Law, the Church declares not in the least fit ... to participate in eternal salvation." -Infallible Teaching of the Catholic Church from the Council of Florence
@GanEdenAustralia Now that is absolutely true! they are inspired writings however they were not written to be put in a book. they were personal letters!
Your premise would be correct if James and John we're suggesting that we keep the law as a mean of works " For as many as are of the works of the law" but that is not what either of these two writers are saying. "if you love me keep my commandments" Is that works? Is Jesus trying to put us back under the law? Hardly. "If thou wilt enter into life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS" Mat 5:19 Whoever shall break the least of the commandments, and teach men so, shall be called least in the k- of heaven.
The book of James was written between 48-62 AD and not only does he quote the 6th and 7th commandments, but he points out that if you violate any of the other 8 commandments as well you are guilty of violating the all.
Jam 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all.
Jam 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Do you notice that he said the "whole law", not the ten commandments? There is one other passage that speaks of what james mentions in chapter 2 verse 10..and that is Galatians 3:10
Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them
If you don't keep the whole law, you become cursed. You become guilty of all if you fail even 1
Amen again, God's laws still pertain today..as Jesus said in Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Yes they are referred to us in many places... !!

You have absolutely the wrong understanding about the commandments!

The NT books are NOT Scripture. They are however inspired writings.

For example, if you didn't abide by any one of the laws written in the book of the law, you became guilty of the "entire law of God."
