]If you really think precepts and the whole order of the Lord is thrown out of the window
because you have an emotional response to God, then you have lost the plot.
You should never minimize the power of Pentecost to an emotional response Peter. You are bordering on a serious sin. The truth is that we already have been given all that we need in Holy Spirit to live a godly life. We are no longer just a human being, but are now Spirit. You have much to learn. Precepts and laws are for those who are yet with a bent to sin. So I would examine myself if I were you, to see if I am in the faith.
It is the Lord who brought the law and the rules of existance. They are not temporary but
eternal. What has changed is how love and communion with the King bring us into victory
and fulfillment of the law of Christ so we can walk in obedience to it.
You appear to be suggesting this is not the Lords way.
Indeed, yes I am. It's called the new and Living way.
Rather it is your rebellion against man made constraints on your life that you are rebelling
against and assuming these are Gods principles. It is why you need to listen to Jesus very
closely and learn to know His heart.
But, I am not rebellious or lawless Peter. I have a new master and I walk a different way. Called the law of the Spirit which is life now lived in another. Or out of union with a power that is beyond this earth. This is the purpose of Pentecost. Power to live and to witness. A witness which is performed through the giftings He gives. Tongues is not all of Pentecost, and that is just language of the new man. A personal tool unless used as a gift in the meeting. Throw away all those things Satan has put out to confuse the purpose of Holy Spirit in our life. Stay focused on the purpose.
"Now this may sound judgemental but the lie is to believe God has ever contradicted His
laws, the basis of what love and righteousness are, and we are free to behave as we like."
"Paul puts it like this, in the Spirit we are slaves to righteousness, we literally desire to do the
right thing and as far as possible we walk in it, while learning and growing as we do."
Am having trouble with getting this iPad to underline your last two paragraphs. So I quoted. I agree that we have the desire to please our Heavenly Father now because we understand the sacrifice He did to redeem us back to Himself after the act of treason by the fall. For this was the plan before creation began and the only way that we could be like God, to be born of His own Spirit by our choosing God over self. He has given us all we need to live godly. I'll keep saying this over and over until it sinks down deep. A new man in Christ Jesus has crucified self with the Cross of Jesus by faith. Faith has power in heavenly realms.
And we now live out of the Kingdom of God that is within.
