By putting down the law you are putting down God and all His ways. Without law we would have the same conditions the world was in before the flood. Now there are gangs and you need to be armed to be in some of our downtowns, and many of even our highschools are not safe, and even on a Christian site you read about being without law instead of about how to live as God's child. THIS in the name of the wonderful grace that is from God! Anyone who worships and obeys God is called a "Sabbath Keeper" and looked down on. It is shameful.

I agree that I nor anyone can never be perfect as God is and we are only saved through faith, but through faith I put my entire life including my desire to live righteously, in the Lord's hands and bless His grace.
Where did Crossnote "put down the Law"? He gave Scripture, and a very brief summary thereof. It seems that you have a chip on your shoulder about the Law. I'd suggest you deal with that.
There is nothing wrong with Gods Law . It's HOLY - just - & perfect, it's us that there is something wrong with .

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

It is truly wrong to belittle the work of Christ and elevate yourself to a place where you could even HELP earn what He gives freely in His mercy.


We, as His children and members of the body of Christ on earth work out of love for Him who loved us first.

We are saved appart from how effective we are.

We have all fallen short and all are only justified by Christ's work (His absolute spotless perfection)... not ours.....

Amen.

Being blameless before men through deeds and traditions and practices... lives of study... these will in no way even match up close....



We need absolute... spotless perfection.


The righteousness of Christ.
Our savior.
(which is imputed to Gods children by grace through faith)

Self righteous was achieved by being blameless walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the law. God’s righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, His obedience unto death, even the death of the cross.

By faith HE forgives my sins & makes me clean . This is the faith in JESUS . Then by keeping HIS commandments I can stay clean. & if I sin again I haft to go back to the cross & get HIS blood aplide to that sin also . He that sineth , Is of the davil . That's why HE's still in the sanctuary in heaven being our high priest . & praise GOD for our high priest !!!!!

Rev - 14:12 says here is the patience of the saints ; here are they that keep the commandments of GOD , & have the faith of JESUS.
Rev - 12:17 says And the dragon was wroth with the woman or [church] , & went to make war with the remnant of her seed ,which keep the commandments of GOD, & have the testimony of JESUS CHRIST .
Rev - 20:14 blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life .& may enter in through the gates into the city. .
All of these tells us that HIS saints haft to be keeping the commandments to go to heaven . There is no sin with out the commandments , That's why we need JESUS , Because we have broke them . the wages of sin is death. GOD BLESS

This thread is about th law as it pertains to sanctification. It is not a thread which is against obedience.

will you people please stop accusing people of doing things because you do not like what they say?
Give one reason why we can't keep GODs law , The BIBLE says that gives the power to over come all things . So we can keep GODs Law ,If we live in the SPIRIT.

And yet, I know of nobody teaching that the law is our means of righteousness. That is just what others claim. Everyone agrees it is grace that saves us. So, why accuse?
That's your perception, not mine.
