then you ,would need to prove, by scripture, you were given a law, so that you can repent from your sin.
a form of repentance of sin, was already in place for the jewish people, they had to take an animal to the temple to gain forgiveness. if repentance was only required, because of law.
they are going to have, a bigger problems ,with not having a god. etc
ie a new covenant,never asked you to follow, a old covenant. etc
buddy, we do havge a law to follow, it begins when John is beheaded and Jesus is annointed to preach the Gospel. everything that Jesus spoke in His ministry is the law of the spirit of Life. if you examine Jesus ministry you will find that i a person obeys the gospel, the law of God will be kept perfectly. the commandment " thou shalt not commit adultery" Jesus teaches to rid your heart and mind of lust because to lust after someone is already adultery in your heart. if we obey His word about turning from that Lust, we will never commit adultery. or the commandment " thou shalt not kill" Jesus teaches " do not harbor anger toward another or bear a grudge, forgive quickly, bear no ill will toward thy briother, to turn the other cheek and not envy or covet to not let greed reside in us, if we follow that, we will never kill anyone.
the commandment thou shalt Have no other Gods before Me, Jesus teaches to Love God above all, if we follow this well never even look to a different God and that commandment is kept . on and on thats How it works. Jesus and the Gospel is the circumcision of our Hearts, maening that part of our heart that causes us to act in sin, Jesus says this and this is the nature of His Gospel
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
im sure you get that Jesus isnt talking about a cup or a dish here Hes talking about our heart the inside of the dish because of this
matthew 15:19-20 "
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
if you put that together you will understand why the gospel is like it is a teaching about the inner things, because if there is no lust, there will never be any adiltery, if there is no reason in the heart to harm another person, there will never be a reason to kill anyone. if a person has no selfish greed or covetousness in thier Heart, you will never find them robbing and stealing from others, if a person foirgives offenses quickly, there will never be a need to take vengance on another. on and on. you see the Gospel that was taught by Jesus, that is what fixes the issue that the Law could not fix.
The law has all the right regulations, the problem was the people were sinners at Heart. even when they obeyed the law thoier Hearts were still in rebellion because thats what a sinner is and where sin comes from, the Heart of a man, the inner man the mind, the thouights. today there are so many things seeking to corrupt our inner thouights and heart Like pronography, this creates images and thoughts that are sexually immoral, when you spend time fixed on something like that, it will impart the spoirit of lust into your heart, or watch enough violence movies and it will leave wrong thoughts in you.
The gospel is the answer to the issue of man living in rebellion to Gods Law, Gods Law is perfect, its Good, right and holy. as to your suggestion only jews have a law, thats not true either. man was made from God, the life in us was breathed from God into us. adam corrupted that and passed it on, but still the moirality of the law is in even a non believer, when a man nurders they hide the fact they did it, thatshows " thou shalt not Kill" is in themn because they Know its wrong to do that so they hide it from others.
when a person steals, they hide it from others because they Know its wrong, when a person has an affair, they hide it because they Know by nature its wrong. the law of the ten commandments are in Humans whether they read it or not, whether they believe in God or not. did you Know that the morality of the commandments are in almost every nation on earths Laws? its always illegal to kill, to steal, rape, extort, all of those maralities we find written in the law, are part of Human nature, its Just that because of the fruit and our parents we have both good and evil in us so though we kNow things are wrong, we do them and hide it from everyone. thats the evil in us, the sin within us.
its the Knowledge of both good, and also evil. thats what the fruit did to us because both our parents consumned the good and evil and therefore they passed it on to thier descendants. Notice Just 3 chaoters after they ate the fruit, God says mankind is only evil all the time, and the thoughts of our hearts were no longer any good, so He destroys man save noah and 7 others. that fruit destropyed Gods Good creation because it brought evil into us and we werent ready for the knowledge of evil. it destroyed us who were made in Gods image in the beginning. thats why Jesus came to solve all of that.
The gospel is our Law, but its spiritual rather than temporal. its the solution. the Law of moses was given to those with sinful hearts and there was no spirit indwelling offered, its a restraint upon sinners by rules and regulations, and a teacher of what is right, and what is wrong. Jesus though brings Life, He brings the answer because His Gospel solves the disobeidient Heart issue that causes us to desire and follow evil. oits a cleansing of the heart and when the heart is clean, our actions will be clean. Our Law is found in matthew-john. the four accounts of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. and this not only includes His ministry but the Knowledge of His death, resurrection, ascention, the fact that He explained He would send the spirit when He was seated Beside God. everything we need for Life is the Gospel the rest is Just a testimony of Jesus and the Gospel.
The ot shows us the issue and promises Jesus is coming with salvation for not only israel, but for all people on earth, and the new testament is saying Jesus came He is the messiah, He rose from the dead, He is the Lord Hear Jesus go to Jesus He is the Lord He is the One who can save us. ots all about the Gospel. thats Our salvation to follow the gospel and in doing so the ten commandmenst will be kept and it wont be a problem to do so. the result of the gospel is this
1 john 5:1-5 "
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
the result of the gospel and following it is that we will keep the commandments without it being like the ot a greivance and something thats a burden to us, the ten commandments will actually be something we Love having because they outline Gods Law and ways.
we do have a law just not the mosaic Law anymore. we have the Law that gives life the gospel, rather than the oppressive law that condemns the mosaic Law. the ten commandments are in both the law and the gospel, its just that Jesus makes us able through faith bit true faith that learns and obeys Him. that will solve the sin problem for anyone who dares to test that it will kill the power of sin in us, because the power of sin is in our hearts. if our hearts are cleansed, were hime free regarding actions
