How many commandments do secular/reform Jews honor?

What makes a Christian a Christian, a Jew a Jew, and a Moslem a Moslem?

Has faith become arbitrary?

Nancy,

Does anyone have a count on which of the "613" laws they have not broken?

No don't answer that!!! I know the answer.....

James 2: 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Hebrews 7:18-22 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, but He became a priest with an oath when God said to him: "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'"
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

Romans 3:20-24 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

I am glad Jesus came and took away those laws. He has called us to a much higher law which you alluded to with "Love your God....love your neighbor....

Have a nice evening
