josh, please note what i put in bold in your comment. i want you to look at this from our point of view for a moment. let's use another commandment as an example.

let's say you have a friend who is your Christian brother and he commits adultery every week with no plan to change his behavior. when you talk to him about why he should stop committing adultery he says; "when we are born again God enables us to live a righteous life, the laws are written in our hearts and mind so when we are truly born again the it is fulfilled in us".

would you not feel he is denying the obvious?
Firstly that person couldn't be a christian brother in the first place anyone with the mind of christ would never continue to sin and if your trying to implicate to me that what i said makes it free for us to sin then you sound like foolish person, the fact that we become righteous when we are born again says it all whoever is born again is a servant a christ not a servant of sin, that is the righteousness of christ, that is why it is written christ came to fulfill the law, fulfill it in us not we fulfil the law by following it, it's a big difference also a covenant was made with us that he will write his law in our hearts and mind, thus making us a new creation in christ

What if you friend was a person that truly loved the Lord, yet he was an alcoholic or had a bad temper and always busting someone in their grill. Yet they went to church erry time the door was open and gave to the poor. Had a wife that they respected and cut the grass at the church twice a week.

If you put your faith in what you can do, than you have already failed and the sin nature will rule over you no matter what that sin is. If adultery or drugs or homosexuality.

Our faith must be placed in the work of the cross and nothing else. There is nothing else that can save or deliver.

that mean he love the lord in the flesh but we must worship in the spirit, you can tell if someone truly is born again by the fruits of their spirit, and yes our faith must only be put in God

so WE are foolish for looking at people break the Sabbathevery week with no intention to change their behavior and claiming that they follow the laws God has placed on their heart?

but YOU are not foolish when someone breaks one of the other commandmentsand you claim they are sinful and don't have the mind of Christ?

why do you get to pick which one of the ten commandments it is a sin to break and which is not?
the fact that we become righteous when we are born again says it all whoever is born again is a servant a christ not a servant of sin, that is the righteousness of christ, that is why it is written christ came to fulfill the law, fulfill it in us not we fulfil the law by following it, it's a big difference also a covenant was made with us that he will write his law in our hearts and mind, thus making us a new creation in christ
so He wrote only 9 of the 10 commandments on your heart.

i believe what is in my Bible, that includes the 4th commandment. and i do not think that justifies anyone. the Sabbath is a sanctified day and is to our advantage to keep it as prescribed. not as an obligation. i feel like several of you somehow are twisting this commandment to make it seem like Sabbath keepers are trying to work for their salvation.
Here's how to keep the Sabbath as prescribed--animal sacrifice:

Num 28:9-10 ¶ And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof: [This is] the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

You still haven't explained why Christians continued animal sacrifice in Acts 21? The Holy Spirit will show you the answer in Hebrews 10.

the 10 commandments were never for us the gentiles, it was always for the jews what to 10 commandment does is show us that we have SIN IN OUR LIVES and that we need a higher being to set us free from doing the things contained in commandments, the bible itself SAID WE DO BY NATURE THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THE LAW, THAT IS WHY WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN TO HAVE IT FULFILLED IN US

i Know i have the righteousness of God in me because he converted and change my entire nature that is why i can come here to this forum and tell every single one of you this, i was once a slave to sin doing the things contained in the law as the bible STATES THE GENTILES DOES, but then i found christ and he change me nature and made me a NEW CREATURE that is the righteousness of christ right there when we are truly free from sin and born again and become a servant a God and can't help but Love him because his love is in us, if the bible said that CHRIST FULFILLS THE LAW IN US, which means our nature become one with it we cannot go against it, so why would you or anyone still need to follow it when it is in your nature?

My brother Josh, I love you. But, think of what you just said. Love God in the flesh. The flesh opposes God, there are many people who truly love God, but yet they are bound by sin. The reason why is this, they have placed their faith in what they are doing and what Jesus did on the cross. Their teachers and preachers are telling them to do this and do that and it never works. The only thing that God will accept is faith in the works that His Son did on the cross and nothing else.

i never said we have to love God in the flesh i was saying those people have love for God in the flesh and having a new nature in christ free us from the bondage of sin sister, that is why we must be born again, see? because everysingle human being is born in SIN, that is why we must be born again to be born in sin means to be a slave to sin but to be born again is to be a servant to christ and not under the yoke of sin

Correct, but only if the focus of our faith is placed firmly in the work of the cross and not what we are doing. If we have faith in what we are doing then the sin nature is revived and we once again become bound by it even though we truly love the Lord. The cross is the means that allows the Holy Spirit to produce in us good fruit and not that of our own.

This is true too, if we feed our spirit with things of the word and not the spirit the devil will ease back in slowly and you can find yourself in trouble sometimes

ok praus, i am familiar with that chapter that was when paul came to jerusalem with donations for the needy because jerusalem was in a period of famine. he was told there were thousands of jewish converts who were zealous for the law. but they had heard that paul had forsaken moses and the customs of his kinsman. not wanting to offend them and prove that he had not abandoned moses they offered him a salution. they had four men who had taken a nazarite vow (num. 6:13-20) and suggested that paul join them in the customs of this vow to show the people he had not abandoned moses and the customs. so he did join them, (also check acts 18:18) with the purification offerings so that he would gain their confidence. it failed, about a week later he was beaten and taken into custody.

this was part of the nazarite vow. i am not sure why you think that hebrews reference has any relation to this vow or area of scripture. i read it over several times and am not sure what you are wanting me to see.

Cool. :) Also have a peek at 1 Pet 2:24. We're saved and healed by His Blood. A drunkard (me) can't enter the kingdom of Heaven but alcoholism is a serious medical condition. It seems like a catch-22, but the Blood of the Lamb took care of all of that for me, I just submitted ...

1 Pet 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

yes the Sabbath was made and blessed and set aside for man. to top it off he included it in His top ten list of things He wishes we should or should not do.

Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

So he is telling us that certain things were removed and certain things did indeed remain. And the purpose of this book is supposed to help us with that. So what does Hebrews say about the Sabbath? (What was shaken is self reliance-righteousness by the works of the law; what remains is the perfect life and obedient death of Jesus Christ.)

Heb. 4:1-11 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith (faith in what? The law or the Savior?)in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.(Blessed is the Lamb who was slain from before the foundations of the universe) For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.(Why? Did He need it, or was His rest a sign of the coming spiritual rest He would provide to those He chose?) And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:(Unbelief in what? The law or Jesus?) Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.(JESUS!!!) For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works,- (of keeping the law to save one's self) as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest(by believing in the finished work of the Christ), lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.(Again; belief in what? - The law or Jesus?)

the law has been around since the beginning, the Sabbath was made for man on the 7th day of creation. that was 2300 yrs before a jew or israelite existed and even longer until they were finally written down at sinai. there can be know sin without law, so how do you think cain and abel knew about offerings, unclean animals, murder etc...

adultery was known also, even noah knew about the unclean animals. how do you think God's people knew what these things were and what was sin if they were not written? it is because they heard the law. the law has been given to mankind in 3 different ways. first it was told to them, then it was written on tables of stone for them and finally it was written on our hearts. same law given in 3 different ways at 3 different times.

Because Paul and James--two of the people who defined Christianity--were still involved with animal sacrifice.

Christ fulfilled the need to sacrifice lambs,
Num 6:9-12 “And if any man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then (A)he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. (B)On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day and separate himself to the Lord for the days of his separation and bring a male lamb a year old (C)for a guilt offering. But the previous period shall be void, because his separation was defiled. (ESV)

But the previous period shall be void, because his separation was defiled. (ESV)

this was a different kind of sacrifice. a nazarite vow is a completely different thing, and paul went along with it not because it was required but to help convince the new jewish converts that he was still one of them.

nobody said jews are wrong or right for keeping this custom or that it was required of them. this was not part of any sanctuary ceremony for redemption, it was a personal choice to please God. paul also says in romans about the subject of feasting and fasting days that each man be convinced in their own mind. he simply saw no harm in people wanting to continue with some of these customs and it was up to the individual.

he did have a problem with jews who were frowning upon the gentile converts because the were not doing precisely as they still felt was proper. this was a big area of confusion paul had to continually define what things were still expected and what wasn't.
