    The law is spiritual so when you walk in the Spirit you will be obeying the law. I have never pushed or promoted legalism. Self righteousness is not possible for us. We all need grace. We are not under the law, the law can not hold us guilty when we have the righteousness of Jesus covering...

    So can I freely murder, and ignore the law? Am I by grace able to make void the law? Should we make void the law because of the grace that is purchased with Jesus's blood. Jesus died because the law was not able to be changed.

    Dietary laws, do you keep them?

    I do not think any different. We can't keep the law perfectly, because we all sin. So we can not be perfectly righteous by keeping the law. The perfect standard is high, we fail, but for Jesus it was perfectly kept. Why was Jesus perfectly righteous? Why is Jesus able to impart His...

    Dietary laws, do you keep them?

    No middle ground. Sounds unbalanced. Sounds like a trap of the devil. Remove the law and people don't need to worry about sin. Sin is still present so the law is still present. Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
