Following suit with King David. One cannot love the law without faith in God. Denying the instructions of the law denies the enlightenment to know how to exact it. God is love, and He gave the law. You might think that man lives by only part of God's word instead of all of it as Jesus quoted Deuteronomy to Satan to resist him.

"I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love." Psalms 119:113

"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." Psalm 119:165

"Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?" 1 Samuel 22:14

JESUS perfect standard o righteousness did not change but Moses said if you keep the law you need to keep it all.
James said that if you offend the law at any point you have offended the whole thing
Paul said those under grace are not under law.The law was not made for a righteous man.

You can't mix your work with the work of CHRIST you will just polute the perfect work of CHRIST.

The same GOD that spoke in the old testament is the same GOD that spoke in the new testament but in the old testament they were only cleaning the outward man and they could not clean the inward man(bad thoughts ect...)

So if you want to continue believing in the law you really havn't come to the end of your flesh and trying to clean the inside all the while just being religious(going door to door trying to win converts using will-power and getting a big head telling people ...example...you want to be like me and this is not in truth and GOD won't except it GOD will only accept JESUS who was perfect.

You can't say I am going to help GOD by being more holy than that other guy.GOD knows who is more trusting of him.

tell me

Which chalk board is easier to write on
the one that is blank or the one that first needs to be erased.?

God's Word changes me, and I have no right to change His words.

Can someone please explain romans 3:31 for me? Some guy quoted it on another thread. It says: "Do we make void the law by this fiath? By no means! Rather we uphold the law"

Why did paul say that if the law was nailed to the cross?

True GODs word change us but you can only access it through faith because if you can't clean the inward man then your works will not be true.

Paul didn't say that. He said that things that were against us were nailed to the cross. He wrote "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" Colossians 2:14

This is referring to the handwriting of our debts that were sinful. Shtar (Aramaic) means handwriting. It's specifically the kind that is on bill which makes sense if you have a debt to pay. This certificate of debt is not the law but is the 2nd witness of our sins which would normally require penalties, but is nailed to the cross. All the law does is expose the debt we are responsible for, and the debt is forgiven by nailing it to the cross.

Then Paul also said: "But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:"Acts 24:14

Now if you put Paul's beliefs together in these 2 scriptures, it is clear that if he worships by believing all things written in the law, that he certainly cannot say to others that the law has been nailed to the cross and has been annihilated. It's our sin nailed to the cross, not the spoken words of God. Jesus said we will live by every word that God has spoken. And by that God's word also exposes (elucidates) to us what needs to die.

"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23

Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Does our Faith that Justifies us void the law? No.

Our Faith upholds the law.

This is what our faith in Christ produces;
Galatians 5:22-23
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

It is these Fruit that uphold the whole law.

Galatians 3:2-3

[SUP]2 [/SUP]This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

[SUP]3 [/SUP]Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Jesus came to fulfill the Law which he achieved through his death and resurrection. As Paul says the Law was given to lead us to Christ He gave us two new commandments, Love the Lord your God with all youir heart and Love your neighbour as your self. These fulfill the whole Law. I strongly advise Christians not to disregard the first five books of the Bible (the Torah) because their the contents explain so much of the New Testament Im saying this because so many Christians get the impression that they dont need the old testament, which was the Bible of Jesus and the Apostles. If you want to know how to live a Christian life and understand Prophecy study it and compare what it says to New Testament passages. There is an old saying that I think was coined by St Augustine, The New in the Old concealed the Old in the New revealed. It is a verytrue saying

jaybird88 · Jun 24, 2015

i am not trying to justify anything when i follow the law. i do it because i believe it is the proper way to live your life taught by the bible.
if we are not to follow the law then the only conclusion is we are to live a life of lawlessness? that makes no sense at all.

JaumeJ · Jun 25, 2015

It is written previous to coming to the Light inJesus Christ we were children of disobedience.

If we are now children of obedience,, what are we obeying? Oh! kRight, we are obeying God...

Grandpa · Jun 25, 2015

What does Love, Joy, Peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance obey?

Do they cause anyones disobedience to God?

Are they produced by your own understanding of following law, or are they produced solely by abiding in Christ?

By faith we uphold the law, and only by faith.

Not by our work at a carnal commandment. That would be attempting to mix the old way with the new way.

The Lord Jesus talks about mixing the old way with the new way. He says it can't be done.

Isn't it clearly obvious that we don't manufacture the Fruit of the Spirit by our work at the Law?

Obedience is not out of obligation when we are saved. It is the producct of love, joy, longsuffering, patience and more.

Because of our joy,we see teh beauty of God's will, and we understand that we do not understand all inherently. Understanding comes with time from the Father, and then all that we need for the Wa He has given each of us.

The commandments are no longer in stone, they are engraved on the fleshy tablets of our hearts. What we obey is no longer engraved in cold stone where there is no budgin for mercy and grace, no, it is within us filled with mercy and grace..

If we do indeed now obey the law by faith, we are obeying God, the Father. This is the product of newly known Love, tht is God dwelling within each of us. It is a joy t ohonor our parents, and so to honor our Father in heaven by obeying what we now know is wise, His commandments. No one can say it is not a good thing to refrain from stealing, and that the grace of God permits coveting. You cannot say this, nor can I.

When I declare by the Holy Spirit it is a joy to be obedient, it is only because I know I live in grace and mercy and that when I do slip up, I am counted as obedient regardless, but his does not lend to deliberately sinning, nor does it lend to taching against God's will for His Children.

We obey our parents in this age, most do anyway. Why is it so difficult for many to understand that in grace the challenge of obedience is most welcome because our gratitude for God's wonderful sacrifice for our souls to be saved is accomplished.

Yes, we are saved by grace, but this is no escuse to ignore that the law is established by faith.

Now, I will not go into the laws, which are to be observed and which are not again. I have done this so many times, and I believe when I have it has beenignored by those afraid to understand.

The laws we should attmpt to always obey are quite obvious when guided by the Holy Spirit. The laws that are no more are quite obvious to all who have sstudied the law and know just how Jesus Christ has taught us all which are noo more. They are obvious by the events fulfilled in the New TEstament, but all of the law is not passed by because o0f it.

For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. herefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.----Mathew 5:19

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’---Mathew 7:23

Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.-----Romans 3:31

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.----Romans 8:7

Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. ------Isaiah2:3

All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.-----Psalm 119:160

The Bible is clear on the fact that God does not change

we all agree about that (hopefully).

Now something God asked me the other day was how do a God that is not changing judge people for 4,000 year one way and for the remaining 2,000 years a different way? Guys, we are so caught up in the "to law or not to law" discussion that we are missing God's Word and his heart for our salvation. The law was never a plan of salvation but to basically distinguish God's children from the heathen nations. The law (or guidelines) was this covenant between God and his children. God we will follow you and therefor we will do X,Y and Z. The one problem most people have with the law is the Sabbath day keeping. We all agree that the rest of the 10 commandment are actually morally acceptable. Guys, come on. Let us stop this bickering over 1 out of 10 of God's commandments. Trust God to teach you about his Word and let us trust God to use us as instruments for the greater good of His Kingdom.

Mortis is Eliwood is Gespent.

He is a "Torah observer" who keeps coming back under phony IDs and pressing 119ministries.com and Restored Church of God materials and teachings. I loosely use the phrase "Torah Observer" because he obviously doesn't mind lying.

Eliwood has set up yet another user ID Mortis to evade bans, using false information.

I highly suggest that you don't view his cultic videos from 119Ministries.

I sent an email to him about this and confronted his deceitful behavior in this regard.

Here was his reply:

Originally Posted by Mortis Abraham lied to the egyptians about Sarai being his sister. David got his wife to lie to Saul's soliders about where he was, so that he could escape from Jerusalem. One of the kings of Ephraim lied to the worshippers of Baal to lead them into a trap, and wipe them all out. David also got his adviser to trick Absalom during his rebellion.

Would you say lies could be used for good sometimes, when they're used against God's enemies?

Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them. Christ came not to bring any new way of righteousness and salvation into the world, but to fulfill that in deed which was shadowed by the figures of the Law, by delivering men through grace from the curse of the Law: and moreover to teach the true use of obedience which the Law appointed, and to engrave in our hearts the force of obedience. This was foreordained so that the prophecies would be accomplished.

For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the Law shall not escape, till all things be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall observe and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus begins with the true expounding of the Law, and sets it against the old (but yet false) glosses of the Scribes. Jesus is very far from abolishing even the least commandment of his Father. Far warning, those who teach against the commandments shall have no place in the Church.

Did not Moses give you a Law, and yet none of you keepeth the Law? Why go ye about to kill me?

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do to you: even so do ye to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and the great commandment. And the second is like unto this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. I Beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye give up your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable serving of God.

He exhorts us to live by a worship which is acceptable to God, and to love unfeigned, even towards our enemies.

But this I confess unto thee, that after the way (which they call heresy) so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and the Prophets. Paul went from a state conjectural religion to a state of quality, also proving his way of worshiping to be true, to be heavenly and from God, and to be the oldest of all religions.

This epistle to the Romans, which after the finishing of the chief points of Christian doctrine, consists in declaring proper precepts of Christian life. And first of all he gives general precepts and grounds: the chiefest being that every man consecrate himself wholly to the spiritual service of God, and do as it were in sacrificing himself by trusting the grace of God.

By this preface he shows that God’s glory is the utmost end of all our doings.
In times past the sacrifices were presented before the altar, but now the altar is everywhere.
In times past, other bodies other than our own bodies were sacrificed, but now our own must be offered up.
In times past, dead sacrifices were offered, but now we must offer such as have the spirit of life.

just-me · Jun 26, 2015

Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. This is committed to your credit if you do not do these things. Also ye shall not swear by my Name falsely, neither shalt thou defile the Name of thy God: I am the Lord. Thou shalt not do thy neighbor wrong, neither rob him. The workman’s hire shall not abide with thee until the morning, neither oppress him by violence.

Thou shalt not curse the deaf, neither put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord. Ye shall not do unjustly in judgment: Thou shalt not favor the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty, but thou shalt judge thy neighbor justly. Thou shalt not walk about with tales among thy people as a slanderer, backbiter, or quarrel picker. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbor, by consenting to his death, or conspiring with the wicked. I am the Lord.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but thou shalt plainly rebuke thy neighbor, and suffer him not to sin. Thou shalt not avenge, nor be mindful of wrong against the children of thy people, but shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord.

All godly people are exhorted to study and meditate on heavenly wisdom, that they be blessed which give themselves wholly all their life to the holy Scriptures, and that the wicked condemners of God, though they seem for a while to be happy, at length, shall come to a miserable destruction. Blessed is the man that doth not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Our praises, accordingly, were chiefly instituted to praise and give thanks to God for His benefits. When a man hath given once place to evil counsel, or to his own concupiscence, he begins to forget himself in his sin, and then falls into contempt of God, which contempt is called the seat of the scorners.
