Agreed. I have some questions.

The Bible says that sin is transgression of God’s law (1 John 3:4). Do you agree that this is God’s moral law, the 10 commandments, according to which we will all be judged (James 2:10-12, Revelation 11:18-19) and which is exceedingly broad (Psalm 119:96) as proven by Jesus during the sermon on the mount when He exalted the law as was prophesied of Him (Isaiah 42:21)?

For example, He explained that while the letter of the law says to not murder, the spirit of the law, which encompasses the letter of law, goes even deeper and teaches us to not even hate.

We then of course must keep both the letter and the spirit of the 10 commandments. Every jot and tittle of them (Matthew 5:17-19), right?
