What is your interpretation?

There is no interpretation...there is the truth of the word.  If you don't understand it and have to pull an 'interpretation' then you don't get it.

God made the bible simple for those that want to know. It is difficult for those who are using it to bash other christians over the head with it. You don't get it then God doesn't mean for you to GET IT until your heart is ready.

So, we cannot keep all 10 commandments?
No-one can live by those?

So, I have no idea if your ignorance is real or just more left wing trolling. To answer the question for those who may be ignorant of what scripture says:

No, we cannot keep all 10 commandments. The Bible says that humans are "exceedingly evil continually". Ever since the Garden, humans have been trying to claim all sorts of things about themselves that are untrue, unproven and impossible. The whole situation in the Garden was based on the sin of lies and omissions. Humans have been lying and omitting truth ever since.

Even after the flood of Noah, humans have reverted back to their evil state. Original sin is still with us, its in our DNA. We will never be "like God", it's a great goal but, it will never happen. God IS loving but, He's not weak, perverted, unjust or unfair. God's word CLEARLY tells us that the wages of sin is (the second) death but, humans won't read or listen. The second death refers to torture and torment with the devil and his demons as well as the lake of fire.

As a result, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to redeem all humankind because they were unable/unwilling to do what God had CLEARLY told them to. His word tells us that only those who truly believe and love Him will be saved. The "reward" is an eternity (forever), of living in heaven with God, loving, worshipping and serving Him.

Rather than taking my or anyone else's word for it, I would advise ANYONE to open up a Bible and read it for themselves. I would recommend that a novice start with the Gospels (New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke & John) before moving on to the New Testament book of Romans. I would not recommend that someone start with the Old Testament because, it can be difficult to read, difficult to understand without a knowledge of Jewish law and is the foundation for the New Testament. I would not ignore the Old Testament, just not start there.

That's good advice RV but at some point people need to read the OT because there's a lot of reference to the OT in the NT.
