Re: Whats your list?
PD, have you collated your own list of laws from the NT?
John 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.
Christians at this forum would be pleased to give you a list from the words of Jesus as recorded in the Bible, but you seem to reject His words.
Why not give us your list, if you have one?

Re: Whats your list?
We will be judged by our obedience to Gods laws.
You will be judged by your obedience to the one whom God sent, as is declared by Jesus,
John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;
40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have eternal life.
John 6:27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."

Deeds of the flesh or fruit of the Spirit
Gal 5:18-23
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Societies/governments enact all sorts of laws to control the "deeds of the flesh," but those who inherit the kingdom of God put on the fruit of the Spirit, "against such things there is no law."
Blessings
