Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

You do the same exact thing she does, so why wouldn't you defend her?

You come out and say "The Lord failed". The one I was replying to doesn't think she says that.


If the Lord has said not one jot or tittle shall fall from the law until All is fulfilled how can someone else come and say "The law of blood has been fulfilled but everything else is still valid"???

Without also saying "The Lord failed"? Like you do.

I think she would be kind of appalled if she knew that was what she was saying. But maybe I give her too much credit.
Once again, just make up stuff, then put it forth as the truth. Then turn around and defend your lies.

I guess it’s a good thing nayborbear’s works maintain his salvation. 🙄
What’s wrong Pookie, you saw this post hours ago yet stayed clear until your legalist brethren started muddying the waters once again. Interesting.

Just because you put a "If you don't believe" at the beginning of the statement, makes it no less a false witness against a Child of God and everyone knows it, including God, including you. That is about the worst JUDGEMENT, before God and everyone else you can make, don't you think? I defy you to give me a single post where he has ever eluded to that. You don't like his understanding of the Word, so you flat out call him unsaved. How unChristlike can you be. I would hate to be you come judgement day. I would be so ashamed and repentant knowing I flat out defied God like that, in a Christian forum like this.
I defy you to show me a post where he states we are saved by grace through faith alone. Like I said, I didn’t get past ummm. But I digress, once again you show a severe lack of love for anyone who disagrees with you.

Circle back to WORKING at the law is what you do. You always leave just a little bit of the truth out of the things you say.

Romans 9:30-32
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;


Which here keep the commandments of God and faith of Christ?

The gentiles, who don't work at the law but have attained to Righteousness?

Or the jews, who do work at the law but have not attained to Righteousness?
I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— Romans 15:18

I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”? And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened, as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day.” And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

Ingrafted Branches Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring! I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches. If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

All Israel Will Be Saved

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. Romans 11:1-32

The Master's word/s is a law to His servants, written on their hearts.

Confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and walk in Love.

God is good and His Love endures forever. Amen.

If God hasn't shown you, there is nothing I could say to open your eyes and ears.
Translation: you know full well you were just caught with your hands in the cookie jar of full blown lies, evil deceit and wrongful judgement. You want to play some more? I have nothing but time and God’s righteousness on my side. But I digress; have at it deighann; I enjoy exposing wolves in sheep’s clothing for the corruption they (you) share.

It is also safe to say that by our works we can lose salvation
Book, chapter and verse. Because what I see is that anyone who has faith in Jesus Christ will not perish but have everlasting life. Not my words, Jesus's.

So you do not believe the power to obey is love? Why is this

Why are people lawless? Is it not because they love self? When this increases, what happens to their true love? Des it not grow cold?

Non of these passages refute what i am saying the prove what i am saying both are descriptive passages, not prescriptive passages,

Do you understand what i mean here?
No I believe the power to obey and walk in love comes from the holy spirit. I do believe there is a human element that once we tast His ways and walk in love even a little I think we connect and realize it is right and seek it more. It is comfortimg, to us and others around us without doubt. Even seeing others being truly loving or hearing of others being truly loving can invoke us to walt to be.

But bottom line I see the holy Spirit being the power to obey and walk in love, I see love as a fruit of the Spirit.

This does not prove every possible sin is found on mosaic law,

All it proves is that sin is an act of breaking laws

Mosaic law is but one law spoken of in scripture, and many commands are givem whcih are not included in that particular law.
You are correctin a way, let me explin how I see it, I believe when God says things like this and there are other examples that yes anytime He says to do something, doing otherwise is a sin. FOr example it is not in the law for Jonah to go to Ninevah, but disobeying God and not going is a sin. However I think it falls under principles like this. Essentially serving God is to liten to everything He says, to people as a whole and to the indivigual person. SO I do agree with you in a way, but I think God;s law tells us this principle.

Exodus 20:3, “You shall have no othre gods against my face."

Exodus 23:25 You shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.

Deuteronomy 13:4-5, " 4 You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. 5 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

No it is walking as jesus did

Loving others, putting their needs above your own

Do you realize two people can obey the same command yet one does it in sin, while the other does it out of a pure heart?

How can this be?
I donlt think onbe can "obey" unless it;s real and sincere, and in the true intent of the command.

Now people can fool other people, but they can not fool God:

Psalms 66:1-4, " 1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth; 2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! 3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that Your enemies pretend (3584. kachash ) obedience to You. 4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” — Selah

Hebrews 4:12-13, " 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

here you go d but I am sure you will "explain" to me what it really means

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Hebrews 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses

Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Hebrews 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

Hebrews 10:33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

Hebrews 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

There is only one way:

John 10:16, "And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. So there will be one flock, one Shepherd."

1 John 2:6, "He who says he abides in Him, is himself also obligated to walk as He walked."

1 John 3:24, “And the one guarding His commands stays in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He stays in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.”

John 3:36, “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

does not obey” is word #G544 - apeitheó: to disobey, Original Word: ἀπειθέω, Part of Speech: Verb, Transliteration: apeitheó, Phonetic Spelling: (ap-i-theh'-o), Short Definition: I disobey, rebel, am disloyal, Definition: I disobey, rebel, am disloyal, refuse conformity.

Luke 6:46, "And why call Me; Ruler! Ruler! and do not the things which I say?"

John 14:15, "If you love Me, keep My commandments."

1 John 5:2-3, " 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

1 John 2:3-7, " 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.

So you don't believe that Christ gives His People Rest from their work at the law?

How do people rest if they are working at the law?


Did you know that Moses is NOT the Shepherd? So far you haven't been able to answer any of these VERY easy questions any Christian should be able to answer. I've been serving them up like meatballs and you haven't even got a foul tip yet.

C'mon man!
Where is your rest from the law verse?

No not rest from His Commands. Rest from sin:

John 8:34-36, " 34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

1 John 5:2-3, " 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

Matthew 11:27-30, " 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Jeremiah 6:16-17, " 16 Thus says the LORD: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ 17 I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Pay attention to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not pay attention.’

All those who say it`s wrong to use the law for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness.
Get it right please. It says SCRIPTURE, it does not say law.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2Ti 3:16 KJV)

Question If the law of Moses expired with John the Baptist, and the New Covenant wasn't "put in force" till His blood shed on the cross, was there any law while He walked the earth?
Who said the law expired?

What if the law of love was all they knew? Then a man" loving" a man would not seem to be a problem, would it?
Nice.

Do you really think this? Is it natural?

Who said the law expired?
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Galatians 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

John 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever but the Son abideth ever.

Schoolmaster from Pulpit Commentary I only add this cause I just learned it in the last couple days, but there is much interesting stuff on this word.
Paedagogus has no equivalent in the English language; "pedagogue," "schoolmaster," "tutor," "guardian," are all inadequate, covering each one an area of thought more or less quite different. "Tutor," as the masculine of "governess," comes perhaps nearest; but a tutor to a gentleman's children is generally an educated man, and often of like rank in life with those he is with whereas a paedagogus was usually a slave - an element of thought probably very near to the apostle's consciousness in his present use of the term.
