Which laws aren't kept by the fruit of the Holy Spirit?
There are people out there who attempt to emulate the Holy Spirit by the works of their flesh. This is what people are attempting when they attempt to keep the law in their own strength and their own understanding.
The fruit of knowing Christ is keeping the law. Unfortunately for legalists the opposite is not true. The fruit of your own law keeping in your own strength and understanding is dirty rags...
1 Yahchanan 3:7, "Little children,
let no man deceive you; he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous."
Wonder why he would say, "let no man deceive you?"
Filthy rags, yes, I agree, no matter what one does, this is true, yet do I give up, or do I walk in the light, on the narrow path?
One every fruit of the Spirit is commanded.promoted in Yahweh's Law
that is why there is no Law against these things...
Evey fruit of the flesh is against/sin according to Yahweh's Law...
I understand it is the default position for people to say, oh you keep the Law by your own will.
Foolishness, how can this claim be made by someone who does not know you?
Legalist.... do you promote illegalisim?
Are these men legalists?
