JGPS - I have a question about the statement 'You cannot say you have love and still transgress the law'.
Does that not depend on how one sees love? And secondly, does that mean you, as a person, never sin?
I could say that part of love is patience, and in an instance of having patience to someone, then I have loved.
But also, I could, on another occasion, as Paul says, 'partake in that which I know I shouldn't'. For instance, I could have 'impatience'.
So on one day, I have loved, and another, I have not.
Tell me, do either of these things affect where I go after death?
Because always a person will fail sometimes. So is it about sticking to all the law then?
Or is it about trying to love?
The Law is Love, and Love is the law. If the Christ commands are unattainable then love is unattainable. If love is attainable then Christs commands are follow-able. The concepts are married.
Which is attainable?
Which leads unto The Kingdom of God and which to temptation?
