Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
one of many expression of love taught in scripture
Luke 7
44And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Thus you are teaching the Psalmist lied and the content of what he is sharing by the Holy Spirit is cancelled because you determined it is?
Our only Sacrifice for sin is what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, being the Passover Lamb of God.
If one believes this, then onne must also believe that He died to give all the Gospel, the same Gospel He gave to Abraham, for there is no other Gospel.
All who possess some understanding know that obedience after salvation is our due, not payment for the free gift of grace.
I cannot accept the teaching in this particular Psalm, and so many otheres, by King David is a lie, since we know by his Psalms that he was well aware of the grace of God, and lived therein, otherwise he would never have written down the Psalms he was given by the Holy Spirit to write. Begin with the 32nd Psalm.
Psa 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Yes, and that includes what the Son has spoken in these last days (Heb 1:1-2) years after he ascended, through the NT writers.
Loving God and our neighbor is all we have to do in the new covenant,
and we don't need a written code with myriads of instructions on how to do that,
for God has written the new covenant law of Christ (Mt 22:37-39) on our hearts,
giving us to know what is loving and what is not by his indwelling Holy Spirit.
It's about love more than it is about gratitude.
I obey because I love him, and not to repay a debt of gratitude.

when dose a son fear, his father. but now , am i free ,to ask my father. (about anything) in the new covenant.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.2
dose the truth set you free, am i answerable to adam, now ie his sin.
Death in Adam, Life in Christ
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned---13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased,grace abounded all the more,21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
do i neeed to hide from father (god, )the same way adam and eve,(in fear) hid in the garden , now that one man has set the record straight(jesus)
do i need to hid from jesus, forgivness was it a new concept to a law, that stoned sinners.
This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.John 8:

y'know, Matt...you've been cracking me up through this whole thread.
for the most part sublimely ignoring what's going on,
just continuing on your mission.
sorry i interrupted...and go on.

And there's only 1 more section of Laws left, which I'll post in the morning.
Thanks for the observation, it's good to know someone noticed what I was trying to do!
B
We are commanded to believe, to walk by faith, to cleave to the promises, to pray, to minister grace, to preach the gospel, to win the lost, to lay our life down, to not think evil of any man, to share one another's burdens, to edify and build up one another, to give more honor to those who are less honorable, to walk in wisdom toward them who lack and are without, to be kind and tenderhearted, to esteem others better than ourselves...these are just some of the commandments that we have been given by our Lord through the Spirit in the body of Christ and NT church. These are the commandments that we follow Christ with and with those commandments we are to take up our cross and deny ourselves. You want more... there is plenty more. I don't know how you could have missed them. Oh well, I guess it happens when there is a vail over the heart.
B
JaumeJ, are these not part of the Torah as you suggest from your own definition? These commands are for the NT believer in the church where Christ is the head. Can't we relate and discuss these commands as part of the new covenant that we are under through grace. These are the things that make for peace and are part of the gospel of Jesus Christ and him crucified. These are the commandments for the believers who are in Christ in this dispensation of grace. We as believers are obligated by faith to these commandments through the grace of God. They are not legislated and have no condemnation associated with them. They are rewarded if we practice them or we suffer loss if we neglect them. This is how the new covenant works for every believer in Christ. Are you a believer in Christ or not? If you are then you are under the new covenant of grace and it is to be your practice as it is for every believer, Jew or Gentile.
THE MONARCHY
362 Deuteronomy 17:15 - Not appointing a king who is not of the seed of Israel.
Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
363 Deuteronomy 17:16 - A king not to accumulate an excess number of horses.
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
364 Deuteronomy 17:17 - A king not taking many wives.
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
365 Deuteronomy 17:17 - A king may not amass great personal wealth.
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

This is the last of the 613 commands in the Torah/Law.
For those of you who took the time to read through all of them over the last couple of months or so (if anyone did), my hope is that you can see how the individual laws are not as burdensome as some would think. If anyone were to do any of the things commanded here apart from it being done as part of the Law, we would commend the person for doing them. However, when you make mention that these commands are part of the Law and that it was a part of your relationship with God, those people are criticized.
I think the Body of Messiah would be a whole lot better off if people made an effort to do these commands that God gave to His people.

You are correct here Matt but the attitude of most is...
Luk 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Luk 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luk 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

And I'll cut to the chase.
There is nothing wrong with the new covenant law of God (1Co 9:21),
which is the law of Christ (Mt 22:37-39) without a written code of regulations,
because in the new covenant the indwelling Holy Spirit gives one to know in his heart (Jer 31:31)
what is loving and what is not loving, fulfilling all the Law and the Prophets (Mt 22:40; Ro 13:8-10).
