ROMANS 13:8.
Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to The Tree of Life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.
9.
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other Commandment,
it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
somebody please step-up here and tell us where all of the 'other Commandments' have been
disannulled after we are Commanded to LOVE our neighbor as yourself???
LUKE 18:18.
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
20.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal,
Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
all the Commandments mentioned have to do with 'human-upon-human' relationship -
but 'coveting' is missing - for Christ is not our Accuser, nor is He disannulling Grace
or the commandments, but He is being our EXAMPLE of them..
11JOHN 1:6.
And this is LOVE, that we walk after His Commandments. This is the Commandment,
That, as ye have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
1JOHN 2:4.
He that saith, I know him, and keeps not His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
REV. 22:14.Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to The Tree of Life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Leviticus 20:9-13‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head.
10“ ‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.
11“ ‘If a man has sexual relations with his father’s wife, he has dishonored his father. Both the man and the woman are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
12“ ‘If a man has sexual relations with his daughter-in-law, both of them are to be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood will be on their own heads.
13“ ‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
the law is not just the 10 commandments. the 10 commandments are good. they are a moral law of what not to do. yet the 10 commandments do nottell us WHAT TO do. do we separate the law from the commandments? the law of moses has around 400 rules. regarding what they are not to eat, do, even things like how to control mold ect. everything God said in the law is a command. a decree. a statute. the 10 commandments are all in Jesus teachings, but its not enough to not Kill our neighbor, He commands "if you hate your brother, you are subject to Judgement, if you curse them a fool, you are in danger of the fires of Hell"
the commandments cant save or make us new, the only possibility under the law is to realize " I cant be holy on my own" they are rules of what is evil, don't do it or die. the commandments are a fouindation for the Law, the commandments foundation is edens command. Jesus came with the true "Law" of God a perfect law that frees us from the sin, that is restrained by law. it is the lust we remove in Christ and practice what TO DO. he says to look lustfully, ive already commited adultery in my heart. so I need to " pluck out my eye" or " keep my eyes good." if I'm watching porn, thinking about cheating, lusting after a pretty woman I need to pluck that out of my heart, not only this in Christ, but I need to be pure in thinking as I look at women as I practice what is good and taught by Jesus, the thing I removed is removed by the power of Jesus.
think of the commandments " don't do this". thou shalt not covet. that's the commandment. Jesus is " be on your guard against all Kinds of Greed" and " give to the poor among you. if I'm greedy and I am in the gospel, I will identify greed as a n evil, and I will begin to be giving. this is not in the law, nor is much of Jesus. He is better, perfect and He gives freedom from the death that comes from disobeying the law. the commandment of God is summed up in Him " Love the Lord thy God with all thy HEART, soul, mind,and strength, and also Love your neighbor as yourself." that says ALOT. if I love the lord ill keep His commands just like he said in the desert to his people, Jesus said " if you love me keep my commands." to Love God with every fiber of who we are is the goal, woth our hearts that are purified in the commands of Christ. His gospel is about purification of our heart, so that we are ABLE yo love God with all of it
