There is is no such thing as "keeping" the Law "imperfectly".
I think some of the law keepers feel that as long as they try then they are ok.

I do not use that term, but I understand exactly what is being said, and from that understanding, of course there is such a thing a imperfectly keeping the law, even though we are regarded as perfect by God because of Jesus Christ's Blood.

Try to understand what people are saying before retorting.

In order to keep the commandments
We must also considered the "law " of our motherland
That's why their is so much "laws" within this very moment
As one of our lord Jesus christ teachings
Luke: 20. 22. Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23. But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
24. Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
26. And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
*we have a good government and to be a law abiding citizen means
A good follower of good ordinance that was been made by the "law" of man.
If we cannot follow even simplest law of man which is our government who
also follow the law of humanity
How can we follow the law of god?

:yawn: we hope we dont offend anyone here :blush:

Perhaps a better way to say it would be that we can follow specific laws, but we cannot keep them perfectly all the time.
Maybe a better way of saying it is that we have received Grace through Faith and we establish the law.

1 Peter: 2. 13. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16. As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

Godbless us all my brothers and my sisters
And my brethrens :smoke: and my fellows :happy:

I don't think you do understand what it means. It means any who claim to keep the Law are delusional. And when they insist others must keep the Law, like they do, they are only encouraging others to enter into their delusion with them.

Re: "God doesn't give you commandments you can't keep." says street preacher.

Are you saying it is wrong to believe God sees Jesus Christ in us, and He sees us as perfect although we are sill, as Paul declares, weak in the flesh?

Are you saying those who wish to be obedient to God are delusional even though they know they can never mathch teh perfection of Jesus Christ?

Are you attempting to dissuade them from doing all they are able to please Jesus Christ because of all He has done for them.?

Are you teaching against being children of obedience.?

Labeling brethren who elect to obey God as delusional is your doctrine, not the teaching of Jesus Christ, and certainly not the teachings of eh Epistles..

What does Paul say about not being able to keep from sin? We all read Romans. He chose to obey God, yet he speaks of not being perfect in that sense, of yielding to do the very thing he hated.

So now was Paul delusional? Yes, people who wish to obey as well as possible are imperfect at doing it, this is why we know we are to confess our sins one to another or directly to God, or are yo going to tell me this is delusional.

Do you understand anything that is being posted before you reply and make your allegations?

God see either Jesus in you and His perfect righteousness or He sees you. You really don't want Him to see you.

And they are tempting GOD.

But some of those who had believed from the party of the Pharisees stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to observe the law of Moses. Acts 15:5

[Then Peter said,] So now why are you [pharisees] putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? Acts 15:10

Re: "God doesn't give you commandments you can't keep." says street preacher.

Let me see, you said I am delusional, and now you are attempting to tell me I do not understand that because of Jesus in me, I am forgiven any trespasses, and giving this as an excuse forme not to show my gratitude by imitating Jesus Christ as He walked His earth.

If anyone is deluded, it would have to be the one teaching me not o be a child of obedience, and that would be you. Now, stop annoying me.

God see either Jesus in you and His perfect righteousness or He sees you. You really don't want Him to see you.

It is your idea of obedience that is in question.

If you think that your obedience means that you can look to the law and obey it then yes you are delusional.

If you think that once you come to Christ you no longer have to look back to the law, then all of your obedience is in coming to Christ. Like He said to do.

Obedience is a gift.

Not your work at the law. That is your delusion.

Please stop reposting this as it is taken out of context without the whole chapter, as the discussion here was to force new Gentile believers to follow all 613 Written Ordinances of the Mosaic law.

This has nothing to do with keeping the moral law of God that has existed even before the written form in ordinances existed.

God's morals are never changing and the Holy Spirit will help us to walk in those ways, as the fruit of the Spirit is all about moral standards to uphold that will lead us away and keep us from sinning. When we sin it is our own failure by being drawn away by our own lusts and desires, we then repent and confess and return to Lord and walking in the Light.

But the 10 commandments are part of the 613. The Moral Law is a man-made contrivance.
