no, since the law is fulfilled in us we are to be led by the spirit and live in love and faith that is all that is required... what more is there? that's what's wrong with most of the churches today the cross too " simple " for them they must find something extraordinary to do, look at abel and cain when they gave their offering cain gave nice stuff as his offering but guess what it was meaningless to God he did not require, we need to stick to what we need to do and stop trying to find " extras " or more way to please God to show that you are righteous, from the moment a born again believer has that birth of Christ they are automatically righteous did you not know that the holy spirit is the spirit of christ? so it would be the spirit of christ living in you that is what makes you righteous you don't need to do something to be righteous your already righteous through the holy spirit, and your everyday life and actions will prove it, i can't get enough of God when he saved me not saying i'm perfect but we become addicted to God and his righteousness when we receive him, key word their HIS righteous not righteousness of the flesh
The NT was written in Greek.
This man's translation does not agree with the Greek of the NT.
Jesus was supporting the authority of the Pharisees, not because they were right,
but because they were the authorized successors of Moses as teachers of the law.
Just as Paul respected the authority of the High Priest, Ananias, whom Paul did not know
was the High Priest, when he ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
Paul called Ananias a whitewashed wall for being a hypocrite.
They told Paul that Anaias was the High Priest, and Paul repented of his comment.
(Ac 23:1-5)
There is no Biblical warrant for this Hebrew translation of Mt 23:2-3 which disagrees
with its original language, Greek.

Does grace nullify the law?
God forbid.
As was previously pointed out, the gentiles(non-believers) have a law unto themselves. (Romans 2:14-16)
But God has torn the partition between His Holiness and mankind. (Called Jesus)
This is a spirit reality in the life of the believer on the finished work of the cross.
The life is in the blood, and His blood changes those who call upon His name.
- No room for boasting.

this is what FULFILLMENT truly means, this is what is meant when it said God came to fulfill the commandments, when someone receives christ they receive that fulfillment of the laws, how you may ask, by the rebirth, i know your probably fed up of me talking about myself and how i was but i really want you to see what i mean, before i was like this before i knew God, i did exactly what the bible said i would do because i was a gentile, who by nature does the things contained in the law, which means i would covet and not have any care about doing it, i would look at every woman and covet, i would say the lord's name in vain, i hated certain people and had no love in me i live a lustful lifestyle and had no conviction about it i just didn't care because i thought it was normal.. BUT look at how God is amazing and every word of the bible is the truth God came to fulfill the law through his spirit, now look at this as God saved me everything just changed i would look at woman and literally cry and ask God to forgive them i couldn't stand to see woman dress like that, i couldn't stand to hate i only had love in me, now if that isn't fulfillment idk what is, HE DID EXACTLY what he said he came to do TO FULFILL, and that is exactly what happens to every true born again christian THAT IS WHY since the law is already fulfilled in us THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH, AND WALK IN LOVE!
well i was trying to say like if we take things in our own hands and do our own will, like sometime i would say i'm going on the streets and talk to everyone i see about God, see? that would be me doing my own thing but we must be led by the spirit to do these things, if God wants us to talk to someone he would tell us to do that, this has happen to me once, i just felt this need in my heart to go this certain location i couldn't explain it, but i did just that and went where i was being led to go and as i got there somewhere came up to me and started talking to me and ask me how i got changed and they want to change like how i did also, now that is being led by the spirit and i was able to tell that person my testimony

In reading the comments made by all that are here, I see something that I believe all would agree on. If we can’t agree, then I can clearly understand why we have these differences of how God works in our personal lives. The following is what works for me.
1.Works of righteousness without first believing in the salvation of Christ Jesus, and the giving of His Holy Spirit, are vanity, and worthless
2.After receiving the gift of eternal life, the indwelling Holy Spirit causes us to recognize the immense love of God toward us.
3.By the Holy Spirit, we understand that the flesh, and old nature continues to raise its ugly head, and we have a battle within ourselves, wanting to love God, as He desires.
4.We have entered into a relationship with God, through Christ Jesus, and know, if our old nature has its way, we will be separated from Him until we ask for forgiveness, and be conquerors of the old nature through Him.
5.As we walk in the path of salvation, we will be conformed into His image and likeness.
6. Paul died daily and we are also given that strength to fight. We continue to pick up our cross daily, and follow, day by day, doing the works of the Holy Spirit, and being cleaned up as God has predestined.
If it is brought to our attention that we are doing wrong, and we haven't the desire to change our ways, we are flipping God off (in short).
Romans 6:1-3 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[SUP]2 [/SUP]God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Acts 17:30 (KJV)
[SUP]30 [/SUP]And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
A friendship flourishes with mutual understanding. When a person does their own thing with their friends disapproval, that persons friend will not participate in what they disapprove of, henceforth the relationship is lost until there can be a reconciliation.
A few thoughts.
A father/son relationship. - The son goes against the fathers wishes.. are they now separated?
Are you sure one who falls to temptation has no desire to change their ways? It would seem paul would disagree with this (rom 7)
Even in your friend example. Would they not still relate in other areas? or is their relationship severed completely?
They are connected all the way from the fall of Adam and lead to Christ our savior from the flesh that in no way can ever please God. Yes one has to be born again and this can only happen from God, through the cross, a gift to all those that believe God does just love them so much that:
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Why did he die for us? to do what? to give us new life in the Spirit? Yet first before this can be we need to be seen as holy right from God the Father, yes, who knows no sin, Christ either did take it all or he did not and then if he did not thern the cross is made void, yes or no?
Colossians 1:22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
As john 3 is so very clear on, that we can't see the kingdom without being born again, and he said that he came to do this, did he not?
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I look at this like a trial in a court room, when a person has to pay for extortion or pay a fine. Jesus says, hear is the payment, the defendant is free from the debt.
It's like a child that is kidnapped, and the big brother pays the ransom, and gets the child back for His parents sake. And God says "this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."
