No, they don't, nor do they care. I would venture to say however, most of these new laws are to do with the Affordable Care Act. Ironically, it is not affordable at all! Who would have guessed? Some will not be able to comply, and that by design. Therefore, there will be a whole new sect of lawbreakers! The yoke of men is backbreaking. The yoke of Messiah is easy my friend, for He tells us so.
[h=3]Matthew 11:29-30[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Judging surely makes us feel good. On the other hand, Yeshua kept the whole law and glorified the Father.

Good question. Criminals will be judged under the law so the prudent stays out of trouble in order not to be under the law.
Counter question: if the laws set by governments are not against the bible and are not hard to keep by the general public why would Christians, who are supposed to live by the principles of the bible, find the law set by the Father so hard to keep?
This is a flawed statement. Legislation cannot enforce behavior. It can legislate what is tolerated under the law, and what the consequences of violating the law are. No one can FORCE a criminal to obey a law. The decision to transgress is in the hands of the individual.
The same goes for the Torah. The Torah cannot prevent sin, it can only define sin, and the consequence for sinning. The decision to obey the law is in the hands of each individual. The consequence for the sin is eternal separation from Yahweh.

Amen to chubbens, good people don't need the laws, we live good lives with out the laws' threats of punishment. Jesus condemns the lawless persons to hell. And LOVE is the keeping of the laws of God. It is a no brainer, only good people go to Heaven. Bad people go to Hell. Love the law of God and be saved, love and obey Jesus and be saved; Two ways of saying the same thing. Love to all who love Jesus in sincerity. Hoffco

Just because we make a law that doesn't mean that people will obey it. so what do we need. We need a revival that takes us back to the word of God. Check this and write it down. A democracy will not work when the majority is in defiance of the word of God. That is why America ( the light of the world ) is failing and why we have a Muslim as president.

I take that back, we do not have a president but a dictator. He has bypassed congress more than any other by executive orders. He himself said I do not need congress, I have a pen and a phone. Need I say more. Vote for democrat and vote for less liberality.
Your question is really a good one and it makes me have a new question - If the 10 Commandments were done away with as some seen to think then what does God judge us from?? God says He will judge everyone according to their works, but if the law is gone what is there to judge?? Questions, Questions.
I am glad that Gods law still stands true and sure - God is faithful and He does not change one jot or one tittle. Thank you Jesus for saving us with your grace. Thank you for Your holy law of truth and standards.
Since the death of Christ, everyone is judged by one standard, belief or unbelief in Jesus Christ.
Oh, just about as much as the carnal obey God...
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

Sad but true and the leaders of the world are waiting in line to climb in bed with him. The time has come.

Depending on which Christ as He Himself forewarned. Only until the last 50 years has the teaching of lawlessness flourished.Elin said:

So accept His whole counsel instead of pick and choose what to follow and when others follow His whole counsel do not speak evil of them."Which Christ"?
There is only one Christ, the Christ of the Scriptures.
"Which Christ"?
There is only one Christ, the Christ of the Scriptures.
You believe in this Christ?
Mat 19:16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?"
Mat 19:17 So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
His whole counsel includes the revelation he gave to Paul, which is given in Paul's letters.
Is that his whole counsel to which you are referring?

I guess you know what I'm saying and I know what you are trying to say.
One would not go wrong understanding Paul's letters under the light of Yeshua's teachings.
One just has to look at early 1st century believers who had not Paul's letters and the only reference available was the Torah, the prophets and the writings.
