i don't think you do.

so, how do you know EVERYTHING God is giving to you?

but for those who do not know, just being Saved is sufficient

the rest of us want to know EVERYTHING God has bestowed upon us through Jesus Christ.

Sorry I didn't get to this post sooner. And I get what you are saying now.
No I don't know every law or the benefits. And this is an excellent point. But those you were agreeing with way back when were not suggesting such and I lumped you in with them. My apologies.

I don't adhere to pc politically correct definitions that all caps equal yelling.

Some cry baby created those idealisms to be a control freak. And only control freaks try to enforce them.

i think ALL CAPS = SHOUTING is general internet protocol, and in general the internet is decidedly politically incorrect.

it falls under same category as lol = haha...
it's linguistic.

well, no, it's a convention that arose from the shift from verbal communication to text.

i mean if you wrote a letter to someone 50 years ago and caps-locked a sentence in it, it still would have been read as though you were equicalently 'raising your voice' if it had been a face to face conversation instead of script.

As you can witness, I never said to follow the LAW in this thread but many seem to think so.

Maybe had I typed in all CAPS, they would have understood.

So, I don't adhere and don't care who does or doesn't.

Would that convince the doubting faithless of the permanence of His declaration of expectations for mankind? Ever so sadly not.

Modern perspectives would lead many to believe that the 10 Commandments were written in stone due to some primitive caveman evolutionary gobbledy-gook. "Well it's because that's all they had back then!", they surmise.

The fact is that everything God has ever done has had deep symbolic meaning beneath the obvious surface purposes.

The 10 Commandments written in stone could not have been a more obvious declaration from God Almighty that they were intended to stand forever and never, ever be changed. Just as God is unchanging, so are His Laws and the 10 Commandments are also a moral structure of just who God is. It's no coincidence that Jesus Christ is referred to as the rock; the solid, unchanging, immovable foundation of Truth and all things holy and just.

The 10 Commandments were given to all mankind and Christ reiterated their importance by teaching them all, obeying them all and made certain that His followers understood to continue to keep them after His Crucifixion - which is exactly what they did. It would only make sense that He would do so as He was the Creator of them.

Why then do we have so many naysayers today who make such ridiculous claims as 'You will be damned to hell if you obey the Commandments!' and 'Obedience to the Commandments is "works salvation"!'? The Bible told us very clearly that we would have grievous wolves come into the churches and lead many astray. We have been told that the blind leaders of the blind lead many into the ditch. We have also been told by Jesus Himself that the road to salvation is a narrow one and many, many would be led down the wide road to destruction.

The 10 Commandments are now, and always will be, applicable to all professed Christians and they are quite literally the very foundation of the Christian Faith.

nobody ever kept the law good enough to get saved by it. So God invented a new and living way in which we are made righteous.

... continue in the law and continue to fail ....

INVITATION TO ALL ON THIS THREAD

INVITATION TO ALL ON THIS THREAD

INVITATION TO ALL ON THIS THREAD

We really need to have a very serious discussion about the law! Not about what we think it is but why GOD wrote it for us and what it means and if we need to keep it or not. I will use only scriptures to make my point, I urge you to prepare, I will prove to you that we need to keep the 10 commandments and why. All I will ask is for everyone to keep an open mind and to forget what you think you know. Like I said, I will explain only based on scriptures not from personal opinion.

I will start a thread in January please join in! Simply to have a frank discussion. To me the truth is the most important thing and it must be told.

Blessings

oh I forgot Dino, , if you join in and do not play fair like I expect you will , I will place you on ignore that is certain. All a ask is to say the truth.

Jhn 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Jhn 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Jhn 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Peace!

"doing our best to follow the Ten," did I say we could actually do them? We should do our best to follow them, for this is immolating Jesus Yeshua.

The Christian life is not a school and you get no prize for effort. By the way, immolate means to kill or offer as a sacrifice by burning. I don't plan to do that.

The Christian life is rest, not striving. When we walk in the Spirit, it is Christ in us who empowers us. We need to rest in the finished work of Christ in His death and resurrection. It's new life in Christ, not trying to live up to an impossible standard. The new covenant of grace was necessary because the old covenant of Laws was ineffective. We read in the Bible that we are the problem, not the Law. You will also find that the Law is shallow compared to what God really expects from us. Only Jesus kept and fulfilled the Law. God is only pleasd with Jesus. When you live in total and humble dependence on Him, you will find that the burden of trying is replaced with the joy of trusting. Everything is easy if someone else is going it for you. Let Jesus live out His life in you and through you. You will have to ask Him, it's not automatic. I have zero confidence in my ability to please God. I have every confidence in Jesus, who is my Lord, my Life, my Righteousness and Holiness. It does not get any better than that.

throw the LAW out, and the sharks come out hunting.

and it's not even anywhere close to what i said.

The Law was put in charge of us to lead us to Christ. Some of us have outgrown our guardian and we let Jesus lead us, not the Law. (Galatians 3:24). The Law has done its job. It is now obsolete (Hebrews 8:13)
