New Testament Commands.

Jason0047 · Sep 20, 2014

Christian Assemblies International lists one thousand and fifty commandments within the New Testament.

http://www.cai.org/bible-studies/105...ament-commands
[HR][/HR]The only commands that I did not see on their list is the following:[SUP]

Believe & confess that Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh (John 8:24 cf. John 8:57, 58, 59) (1 John 4:3).

Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15)

Visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction (James 1:27).

Feed and clothe the poor, welcome the stranger, visit the sick, and those in prison (Matthew 25:35, 36).

"If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor" (Matthew 19:21)

Thank God without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Receive the word of God not as the words of men, but as the very words of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13).

Give to the poor needy brother; Especially if you wish them well (James 2:15)

Pray the Lord's prayer (As an outline) (Matthew 6:9-13)

Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

Bear with them that preach another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4)

Reprove the unfruitful works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11)

Correct and train others in the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).

Walk in the Spirit: This will result in the 9 fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5)

How to love according to 1 Corinthians 13.

Keep the words of the prophecy of Revelation (Revelation 1:3).

Live by speaking the Word of God (Which is our daily bread) (Matthew 4:4)

Study to show yourself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15)

Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:11-17)

Be ye Holy as God is Holy (1 Peter 1:16)

Do not add or take away from God's Word (Revelation 22:18, 19)

If we as believers sin, we are to confess our sins (1 John 2:1) (1 John 1:9)

Do all things thru Christ (Philippians 4:13)

[/SUP]

[HR][/HR]
I am sure there are more.

As for the Old Testament Law of Moses:

I believe Jesus Christ has nailed that to the Old Law to the cross and implemented the New Covenant Law of Christ or rules under the New Testament; For Jesus said sometime before cross that the Old was about to vanish away (Hebrews 8:13).

Oh, and just so that there is no confusion. We are not saved by any Law keeping, but we are saved by Jesus Christ when we repent of our sins and accept Him as our Savior. Keeping the New Testament Law of Christ is merely the proof that God lives within you. For a good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bring forth good fruit. For salvation is not a super power but it is a person named Jesus Christ (1 John 5:12). Holiness and fruitful works is just evidence that you have been saved.

Hope this helps.

And may God bless you all.

Confused, my friend?

You don't have to be. There are a ton of articles with Scripture on the topic of how the NT replaces the OT at GCI (Grace Community International). I would first check out this lengthy article (That includes many verses):

The Old Covenant and the Law of Moses | Grace Communion International

Why not come out and honestly say that what you are promoting is a division between the God who gave scriptures in the Old Testament and the God who gives scriptures in the new, so we nicely divide the word?

I think you realize that a house divided cannot stand. Otherwise you would see unity and not just New Testament to be listened to. Scriptures saying God is one, Christ saying if you knew Moses you would know me, That Christ and the Father are one---many scriptures are only to be ignored. It must be in the New Testament or it isn't of God.

Best to be honest with your teaching, lots of us can see right through it to your intent.

Revelator7 · Sep 20, 2014

Jesus said in Matthew 5 (particularly in Matthew 5:17-18) that He didn't come to abolish the Law or the even the Prophets of the Old Testament, but that He came to fulfill them! That not iota would dissappear, even if all of heaven and earth dissapear...

Jesus would say in Matthew that we have heard that it was said to people of long ago (people of the Old Testament), but now I tell you...

If we are to understand Jesus in context then we should know that he wasn't changing anything or doing away with anything from the Old Testament, but that he was fulfilling it or should I say, that he was perfecting those things from of old.

He talked about lust, and how adultery isn't just a physical (outward) action, but how it was an emotional (inward) action. He didn't change the commandment of "Thou shalt not commit adultery', but he perfected the understanding of what adultery really was at the core of the issue.

We have to understand that the 10 Commandments are of God's spiritual nature. And to be godly, we must reflect that nature. The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. If anything OT commands help us see what sins really kill us, and the Spirit helps us to kill those sins.

Paul the apostle wrote in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 6) that people [including Christian's] whom are idolators, adulterers, thieves, that these people will not inherit the kingdom of heaven when they die. And what does the 10 Commandments of the OT say? It says "Do not make for yourselves idols" ... "Do not commit adultery" ... "Do not steal" ... Paul of the NT essentially reiterated the OT. Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, "Do not murder" ... Is Jesus changing the order of God of the OT for something new? No, the only thing 'new' about the New Testament was in the sense of the word, it is fresh!

When we are staying in step with the Holy Spirit, we automatically fulfill in our lives the keeping of all of God's commands, whether new or old. To Love God, to do the 1st and greatest commandment of the OT, this is to fulfill/perfect our lives in the NT age.

God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow. He does not change like shifting shadows. He is a constant. His nature, his Law, it's all a constant in our lives. The trick is to let Jesus lead through the Holy Spirit and let him in us work out our salvation through the fear and trembling of the Lord daily. God is King so whatever He says out of His mouth is Law. <-- <-- <--

So how exactly can you obey the Law of Moses?

Do you have a Temple and a priesthood to sacrifice animals to?

Did you become circumcised and become a Jew?

Do you know the New Testament speaks of a spiritual circumcision?

Do you realize the Temple veil has been torn?

You do realize Paul had gotten extremely upset at the Galatians for trying to be justified by the Law?

What is your view of Titus 3:5, 1 John 1:9, and Hebrews 9:17?

What did Jesus mean about not putting new wine into old wine skins?

How do you understand Colossians 2:14 that says Christ blotted out those ordinances that were against us whereby he nailed them to the cross?

Did you know that Paul said that he that seeks to be justified by the Law has fallen from grace? What did he mean by that?

Revelator7 said:

There was a change, my friend. Peter was told by God to eat unclean animals. This was forbidden in the Old Testament Law of Moses. God said to eat of the unclean animals. But Peter was like, "Not so my Lord." In other words, Peter knew Scripture that taught him not to eat unclean animals. But God was making a change.

God also made a change about how we are to treat our enemies, too. We are no longer to render and eye for ane eye anymore. Jesus said we are to turn the other cheek and to love our enemies and to pray for them. We are not to render evil for evil. This is another change in the Law or God's commands.

So you see. You can't follow both because they conflict with each other. This is why Jesus said you can't put new wine into old wine skins (i.e. You can't mix Old Covenant Commands with New Covenant Commands).

Also, the New Testament was about change. Yes, God doesn't change in essence of being in who He is as Spirit and in behavior, but that doesn't mean that the Word (Second person of the Godhead) could not change so as to enter the flesh of a man to pay the price for our sins with His death and resurrection. That doesn't mean God cannot change the Law. For Jesus said He is Lord over the Sabbath. Meaning God created the Law and He can do with it as He pleases.

Revelator7 · Sep 20, 2014

Jason0047 said:

We obey Mosiac Law by believing in the Christ whom Moses wrote about and pointed to.

We are the temple of God, we worship the Head (Christ) in our bodies (in the lower part of the temple so to speak). And the only animal sacrifce we have is the Lamb of God of whom we always have the blood (our forgiveness) available to us.

We don't become circumsized or become Jews, we are Gentile branches ingrafted into a Jewish Vine.

The circumcision is still active, but it is in the form of a spiritual undertaking. The OT circumcision was a shadow of the actual object of circumcision, the ebbing away of the flesh around the heart. Same concept applies with the Temple, the OT one was a foreshadowing of the body of Christ.

So far nothing was abolish from the OT, but everything was fulfilled/perfected in us through Christ in the NT. Past things were only shadows of what was to come. So some things from of old can't physically be done anymore because of Jesus, but also because of Him we now spiritually do them--so in all reality, certain things of the OT were just shifted into a higher paradigm, rather than changed or done away with.

Yes, the veil in the Temple was torn, signifiying that the Presence of God is now with men through the Holy Spirit. Why would we need a physical veil symbolizing what is in the now? The current veil is in our bodies, but it is torn (spiritually speaking).

And yes, Paul was right, no Law can justify us, except the law of Life and Peace through the Spirit. I look at it this way; there is no way to holiness, but Christ is the Way to holiness. It's Jesus first, and in the process, the Law is fulfilled in our lives through our love for God. We don't look to the Law first, we look to Jesus our Grace and Truth first, then the Law becomes fulfilled/perfected in us. The Galatians were solely looking to the Law, rather than observing Christ the fulfillment of that Law.

My veiw on Titus 3:5, 1 John 1:9 and Hebrews 9:17 is the same as yours, I believe these words virbatim.

The wineskin thing was brought up when he was asked about his disciples fasting habits. But we can look at the concept of wine and wineskins in many different ways. For instance, the OT was like an Old Wineskin. Jesus (who was like New Wine) was poured into a New Wineskin. And we can say the NT is a New Wineskin. The old wine would be better? But wouldn't the New Wine be Jesus? So we can't accurately discuss this if it is in the context of the OT being an old wineskin and the NT being a new one. (I just put some concepts of what could stand for which to make a point, i don't actually believe that the OT is an Old Wineskin). But Jesus didn't abolish the OT wineskin. He fulfilled it. Therefore he didn't break the old wineskin. Jesus is the Ancient of Days, the Everlasting One. He isn't just new wine. He is both old and new, the first and the last, the alpha and omega. A paradox. So as for this question, Jesus was referring to the fasting habits of his disciples, and not talking about differences between OT and NT.

A.)I understand that the decrees of things such not being able to work on the Sabbath, or things like commiting certain sins would get us stoned to death, or things like having to wear certain types of clothing, or things like purification from touch dead animals, or not being able to eat pork etc, that these things are blotted out and were nailed to the cross.B.) But the ordinance of having no other God, the decrees of not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, not bearing false witness etc are not blotted out and nailed to the cross. We have to have discernment and what should be common sense as to what is active in our walk with God and which things are not. Between A. and B. there is obviously a sort of contrast, though, the ordinance/commands of God are still active. We can't say we believe in Jesus and continue to sin against certain commandments, even those of the OT, we'd go to hell. There is a form or level of works that we need in order to remain saved. Faith (jesus) without works is dead. First it's jesus, then its our effort to serve Jesus, and that's how we keep in step with the spirit. The MAIN point is we can't first look at the law, we have to look at the lawgiver. after that it's christ in us who lives as we believe, and he wills and works in and through us unto salvation. so it's really him who's doing that work needed to keep reptenance and salvation.

To purposely and deliberately SEEK to FIND justification from Law, that won't get us to holiness. The Grace and Truth (Jesus), Christ is the only Way to holiness and justification. I already talked about this.

Many think the OT and the NT clash. But the NT equalizes the OT out. The OT is like the bass of the song, whereas the NT is like the melody. The deep bass issue of the matter is that we see Jesus through Moses (the Law), and through Jesus we harmonize with the Law through the obedience power of the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Jason0047 said:

Food through prayer and through the word of God and through thanksgiving becomes sanctified. OT believers didn't understand this spiritual principle. Certain food before was unclean, but now it's not because we have the knowledge* of how to make it clean. Though if we eat without faith, it is unclean for us. Some can only eat veggies because of their faith, and others can eat meat. But to him whom food is unclean, we are not to condemn them. It doesn't matter if God now says all food is clean, what matters is that we don't cause the meat we eat for others to stumble. So is there really a change for all believers in the matter of food? Some countries and cultures are very particular about what they can and cannot eat. It's not really a command, it's not actually a command to eat all food. God was just trying to point something out to Peter. So a change in food? It's not a command, so it's not really a change in matters of the Law. I hope that makes sense.

God said that if we break the least of the commandments in Matthew 5 that we won't necesarily go to hell, but that we would be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. It wasn't a change to love our enemies. If the people of the OT really understood the 2nd command "To love thy neighbor as themselves" which the Prophets of old did and summed up the law, then Jesus would not have to have spoken on this issue. It's common sense to love someone else AS yourself. It means you would turn cheek, or go the extra mile and not repay evil for evil because you wouldn't want those things done to yourself. it should have been common sense back then but you can lead people to knowledge but you cant make the people think. He didn't change anything about the 2nd commandment. Love your neighbor as yourself is loving the whosoever, that means your enemy--one would know this if they really meditated on it.

Point blank.Matthew 5:17-18 DECLARES that the Law is not gone from us. If the Law were abolished, then we would NOT need Jesus. The Law is still what keeps sin utterly sinful.

The law is not changed from old to new. The law was transformed from What Was to What Really Is.

The law is not what saves us anymore. Jesus is. Which we both agree on.
But the law is still in effect. But Jesus fulfilled it and through Him we agree that the law is good.
he nailed the legalistic parts of the law to the cross, the subjective things. <--
but the objective law still applies. we must not have any other god before God. we must not worship or bow down to idols we must not misuse god's name. etc etc

Jason0047 · Sep 20, 2014

Sorry, my friend. At this time, I am not interested in your discussion in going back to the Law. I believe the Scriptures speak very clearly that the New Covenant replaces the Old Covenant in many verses of which you can read about in the many articles at GCI (Grace Community International) here.

Actually, this thread is about discussing the New Testament Commands. So any expression of thought on the New Testament Commands would be greatly appreciated.

Peace, blessings, and love be unto you from the Lord.

This entire post is absolutely ridiculous. It is a fleshly man reading scripture and asking if I read it without knowing a thing about what God is saying!! No. I don't read it that way. For instance, I listened to Paul who told me to be circumcised and I did that and I am female. Circumcision is not something done with a knife. When Christ was crucified the orders of Jews to stay separate from gentiles was no more we are one in Christ. Your question says you don't understand that at all. Of course I have a temple and a priesthood. Before Christ came to us we were given a picture of it, after Christ it was perfected.

If you decide you want to be so perfect you may be saved, go to it man. I can tell you up front you aren't going to make it. If you decide you can keep your salvation by ignoring the Lord, I also say good luck. No one has done it, yet.

Your understanding of the scripture that is right in front of you is totally lacking! You need to go back to the kindergarten of scripture so at least you can ask sensible questions!

RedTent · Sep 20, 2014

Jason0047 said:

So why do you bring the entire thing up if you are not interested in scripture? Just say to everyone that you are sure that anything about the law is not to be considered or looked at in any way, it has no interest to you. Be honest. You can say, like many others have said, that you are completely selfish and have no love of the Lord in the least but you are interested in only one thing and that is if God saves you through His grace. After that, you just want to be left alone to do your own thing. Tell everyone that you see lots of law in the Old Testament, so that entire scripture is to be wiped out. Explain how it is all backwards.

Crackpot theology 101.

Are those the same idiots that taught you about the grape juice at the Wedding at Cana and the Last Supper,,, friend?

Jason0047 · Sep 20, 2014

We are saved by God's grace thru faith and not of works. This thread is about discussing New Testament Commands that a believer will obey after they are saved. I am not interested in anyone's discussions about going back to the Law of Moses or in folks trying to seek in being justified by the Old Law. Salvation is in a person named Jesus Christ. Savlation is not a "To Do List." So please discuss the un-Biblical practice of wanting to be under the Old Law in another thread.

It would be much appreciated.

In other words, please stick to the topic at hand in discussing the New Testament Commands (As per the Title of this Thread).

Thank you.
And may God bless you all.

It is not division- the difference between the old testament and the new testament. It is simply that one is a shadow of the real thing to come. Hebrews 10:1 says "The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the realities themselves." For example, if I shine a light on a little wooden cross, it will cast a shadow in the image of the cross. But the shadow is not the real thing- the actual cross is the [FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]reality[/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]. So those who only seen the shadow have a hard time accepting the real thing. But the law was not perfect. Hebrews 7:19 "..([/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God." And 1 Corinthians 13:10 says "When perfection comes the imperfect disappears." Jesus is perfect. He came, He's here- so the imperfect is done away with. He fulfilled the old law and nailed it to the cross (Colossians 2:14). There is no division of the law- only that the old law was replaced with the new law- but both were of God. I worked at McDonalds once in my life. And we got new owners who changed the way we did things- new equipment- the works- I mean they tore the building down completely and rebuilt it. However, we delivered the very same product- only faster and more efficiently. The first law was imperfect because it only postponed the forgiveness of sins- for Christ died only once for all people. (Romans 6:10) [/FONT]It was impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. (Hebrews 10:4). But the blood of Christ flowed back and forward to all who did and would obey God according to the covenant they lived under.

Another Jesus Commandment List:

The 38 Commandments of Jesus
From the Four Gospels

1. "When you stand praying, forgive""And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins." (Mark 11:25-26 NIV)

2. "You must be born again""You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again." (John 3:7 KJV)

3. "Remain in Me and I will remain in you"When you ask Jesus into your heart and He becomes your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit actually lives in you, and you in Him. Here Jesus uses a grape vine to compare our relationship with Him. "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." ( John 15:4 NIV)

4. "Let your light shine before men""You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. " In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Matt 5:14;16 NIV)

5. "Settle matters quickly with your adversary""Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison." (Matt 5:25 NIV)

6. "Get rid of whatever causes you to sin""If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."(Matt 5:29-30 NIV)

7. "Do Not Swear at All""But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." (Matt 5:34-37 KJV)

8. "Do Not Resist an Evil Person"(Turning the other cheek.)"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matt 5:38-39 NIV)

9. "Giving More than is Demanded"(Going the extra mile)"And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you." (Matt 5:40-42 NIV)

10. "Love Your Enemies""You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." (Matt 5:43-45 NIV)

11. "Give to Please God, Not to be Seen""Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." (Matt 6:1 NIV)

12. "Pray Privately, Not to be Seen of Men""And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words." (Matt 6:5-7 NIV)

13. "This, then, is how you should pray""This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." (Matt 6:9-15 NIV)

14. "Fast Without Fanfare""When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full." (Matt 6:16 NIV)

15. "Do not Store up Treasures on Earth""Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matt 6:19-21 NIV)

16. "Do not Worry about Your Needs""Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" (Matt 6:25-26 NIV) Commandments of Jesus

(Matt 25:34-36 NIV)

For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matt 23:8-12 NIV)

28. "Settle Disputes Between Believers in this Manner..."

"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector."(Matt 18:15-17 NIV)

29. "Do not Oppose Other Christian Groups"

"Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.""Do not stop him," Jesus said.

The Commandments of Jesus From the Four Gospels John 14:15

Mr. Jason

I must speak to you with as few words as possible.

Galatians. Context: The works of the law. Example: Physical circumcision.
The ordinanance or should i say the regulations or should I say the works have been nailed to the cross.
But the law itself has not been abolished or destroyed or voided (Matthew 5:17-18).

The 1st and Greatest Commandment (Law) is to Love the Lord your god will all your heart soul strength and mind. The 2nd Law (Commandment) is like it, to Love your neighbor as yourself. Did Jesus nail this to the cross, too? Or does the NT void it? The very Jesus you proclaim to believe in is the very Jesus that spoke these things regarding the law.

Romans 13:8-10 NIV - Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love on another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fullfilment of the law.

Ephesians 6:1-3 KJV - Children obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may go well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

I think I see the law in the above verse right here...

I tried to keep my words few but because I love people, because I'm loving on you right now with the truth, I must write what I feel led to.

If you cannot understand anything I've just written here, then your eyes have been veiled. It's almost as if you're a counterfit teacher to be honest. Your fruit comes off as sour. Whatever ministry you feel compelled to quote, I believe they are brainwashing you. But to be even more real on the issue, you are only ECHOING other people's perspectives on theological matters. I do not see YOU I see this other ministry.

And why would you tell everybody to listen to you only and shut everyone elses opinion? Why did you even post this stuff if you weren't expecting the honest opinions and feedback of everyone else?

I'm not calling you a fool, I'm just giving you discernment: Proverbs 12:16 NIV Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. If anything that I or others have said to you is offending you, I as a loving brother am exhorting you to actually read what we are saying and to stay calm, accept feedback, read through everything. If you are really convinced that what you believe in is the Truth, then nothing you read from us should shake you or compell you to tell us to back off if we're not going to only hear what you are saying. Watch out for that Ego, arrogance is something you want to avoid. Love, R

Yes, I realize that many New Testament Commands repeat what is in the Old Commands. Do you have any New Testmant Commands to contribute or to talk about?
