This doesn't make any sense. If you read James 2 in context and not just cherry-pick verse 2:10 out, you cannot come to the conclusion that James here is talking Mosaic Law vs Christ's Law, as many try to teach. The Laws he gives as examples of keeping and breaking are taught in churches every week. These are Laws that every Christian agrees we are to keep.

BUT, I keep seeing James 2:10 thrown at people who are trying to follow all of the Father's commands, not just one's the churches teach. They throw this verse at them, tell them they will be guilty if they break one, then proceed to prod about various commands on if they are keeping them. Essentially, acting like the Pharisees and testing the commandment-keeper to try and find where they are slipping up. All the while, the accuser will admit they sin daily and really show no remorse for it.

How have we gotten to a place in the faith that Christians willingly accept sin as part of their lives? Why do we not strive to Be Holy for I am Holy (1 Peter 1:16)? Why do we not strive to not sin as much as we can (Romans 6)? Why do we not try to imitate Christ (1 Peter 2:21, 1 John 2:6)?
