You posted a passage which said gods commands are not burdensom
i asked, why then why can we not fulfill the law if it is so easy
Can you answer the question please,
(you asked me not to cut your posts up so i did not, you see now why i do it? Because i had a particular question about something you said)
OK, I posted that verse and asked how you view it, so you do not answer, but sauy I quoted it and ask me a question about it. Why can I not get a single answer out of you?
2 passages and I asked your view. I continually answer your questions.
SO we are never tolf to "fulfill" the law, that is a falsehood that is possibly a part of your misunderstading. We are told to obey, we are told guarding His commands is love to Him and to others:
1 John 4:19, “We love Him because He first loved us.”
Exodus 20:6, “But showing love to thousands who love Me by keeping My Laws.”
John 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
Finally the verse that says:
1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and guard His commands. For this is the love for God, that we guard His commands, and
His commands are not heavy."
G926 βαρύς barus (ɓa-rïs') adj.
1. weighty (i.e. as something bearing down; not simply “heavy”).
2. (figuratively) grievous, burdensome.
[probably from baino “to walk,” through the notion of going down]
KJV: grievous, heavy, weightier
See also: G922
G926 βαρύς, βαρεῖα, βαρύ, heavy;
1. properly, i. e. heavy in weight: φορτίον, Matthew 23:4 (in 11:30 we have the opposite, ἐλαφρόν).
2. metaphorically,
a. burdensome: ἐντολή, the keeping of which is grievous, 1 John 5:3.
b. severe, stern: ἐπιστολή, 2 Corinthians 10:10 (others, imposing, impressive, cf. Wetstein at the passage).
c. weighty, i. e. of great moment: τά βαρύτερα τοῦ νόμου the weightier precepts of the law, Matthew 23:23; αἰτιάματα (better αἰτιώματα (which see)), Acts 25:7.
d. violent, cruel, unsparing (A. V. grievous): λύκοι, Acts 20:29 (so also Homer, Iliad 1:89; Xenophon, Ages. 11, 12).
heavy/burdensome is not meaning will do them perfect 100% of the time. See I think this is your error you isloate what James says, even though James is says TO FOLLOW, you say nreak one!!!! PERFECT OR NOTHING!!! this is not what James is saying. read James.
James 1:22-25, “And become
doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.
But he that looked into the perfect Law of liberty, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing.”
James 2:8-12, “If you truly
accomplish the sovereign Law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself, (
Lev 19:18) you do well, but if you show partiality, you commit sin, being found guilty by the Law as transgressors.
For whoever shall guard all the Law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “
Do not commit adultery,” (
Exo 20:14) also said, “
Do not murder.” (
Exo 20:13) Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of Law.
So speak and so do as those who are to be judged by the Law of liberty.”
