Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Matthew 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Matthew 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Matthew 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

2 Peter 3:15-17
15 Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him.
16 He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by **the error of the lawless** and fall from your secure standing.

Has anyone looked into how many laws govern where you live? How about the codes involved in home building/ownership? Automobile ownership? I've looked online for my area and can't get a precise number. I found an article that stated: January 1st 2010 saw 40,627 new laws on the books in the USA. Anybody care to take a guess? I'd say a couple million or more.
Some of them deal with mold removal.

When Jesus mentioned how His yoke was easy and burden light, our legal system makes the Torah a breeze, simplified yet again with the entire Torah summed up in the two greatest commandments!

The Messiah keeps making it easier and easier, even giving his very own Spirit to help. But "Oh what oppression the law is!" It just goes to show that The Law is truly Spiritual, and will always be rejected by the flesh. Because there's no natural, logical reason that anyone can give to explain how Yah's law is MORE difficult than our own society's laws by comparison.

That's debatable and deserves it's own thread. 1 Tim 3:16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Tho I don't completely understand, I accept by faith this great mystery of the love of the Father, of the Son, the suffering love, the Word says it I believe it. It does seem that in the Old Testament though, there are many verses that indicate they were forgiven.
“I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins I will remember no more.” (Jeremiah 31:34). Isaiah 1:18: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” told to Isiah: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sins purged” (Isaiah 6:7).

the reason they try to re- define everything is very simple, the center of their theology is Sabbath keeping. they build everything around it.
deade said earlier that " the army of satan is attacking the fourth Commandment. he chastised us for giving so much weight to the Words in Red.
in my opinion, they all think similar things, but try to " say it without saying it".
I mean, we point to Christ, they shout " Law , Sabbath"
it is very clear what they worship. where their treasure is, that is where their hearts are. and the words they type clearly reflect that,
