the law could not, was not nailed to the cross,
but what was the handwriting of requirements?
"And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us,
which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way,
having nailed it to the cross".
"Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to
the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city" (Revelation 22:14).
Since the bible it is only "those who do His commandments...{who} have the right
to enter...the city" , the ten commandments could not be "contrary to us."
the entire nation of Israel could keep the law, but you believe you do. so why did God send His only Son to die in our place?
you show a total lack of concern or understanding of why Christ had to die.
you 'specialize' in the 4th commandment and most likely break several others.
yet you convince yourself and try to convince others of your great commandment keeping prowness
you are WORKING for your salvation and do NOT trust in Christ alone
that is not acceptable to God.
Revelation specifically shows that those who break one of at least four of
the ten commandments will be outside God's city (Revelation 22:15).
dude...if you are IN our Lord Jesus Christ, you are not condemned. However, you condemn YOURSELF because you try to be perfect in your own flesh....you do not understand that and you trip over the cornerstone like an unbeliever. maybe you are one.
the ten commandments were not "nailed to the cross," what was?
Look again at what the Bible actually says (two translations):
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us,
which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way,
having nailed it to the cross (Colossians 2:14, NKJV)
how can you paste the above verse and not understand what it is saying? you don't know what the requirements were?
that would be the law you insist is our guide.
14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us,
which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way,
having nailed it to the cross.. (Colossians 2:14, NASB)
17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets.
I did not come to destroy but to fulfill (Matthew 5:17)
exactly. Jesus fulfilled the requirement of breaking ANY part of the law which requirement was DEATH
it is fulfilled even now as I type this. it's too bad you and yours do not comprehend that, but that is not unheard of
the Judaizers were the same and the Galatians were swayed by them. so you all pretty much fit into the Judaizer category and that's just a simple fact. you cannot make requirements that God Himself does not make
While some erroneously think that Jesus, for example, did away with the Ten Command-
ments by how He led His life, that most certainly was not the view of the early Christians
who continued to keep them[Paul included]
the ten commandments were never done away with. but no human has ever been able to keep them and therefore earn their own righteousness. y'all sure do keep trying though
you are utterly wrong about 'early' Christians. GALATIANS GALATIANS GALATIANS...and Paul rebuked Peter for the very thing you preach here. so I'll just let him rebuke you also
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Galatians 1
No Return to the Law
11 Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; 12 for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. 13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews? 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified
17 “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”
Galatians 2
there is no other way to be saved except through believing in Christ Jesus
no other way
most people know that but that truth has escaped you with your desire to prove YOURSELF worthy of salvation
none of us are worthy. Christ ALONE is worthy as Revelation states
the rest, is just garbage and that includes ALL self effort
you go ahead and worship any way you want, but like Jesus said to the the Samaritan woman, you don't know whom you worship
please note I am done responding to your twisted gospel message
