    Not only are we not under the law, we should not try to abide by it.

    I am not cursed and I will not be cursed for keeping the law, because keeping the law does not curse you. It's only when you try justify yourself by keeping the whole law instead of faith in Christ that you are under the curse of the law. I won't go through each of those verses and rebut you on...

    Not only are we not under the law, we should not try to abide by it.

    I don't think that's really true. The only way that's true is if you're talking about salvation. Keeping the whole law cannot save you because we can't keep the whole law. Only the blood of Jesus can save you. However, if you are saved, then the law is definitely a blessing to keep. Think about...

    Not only are we not under the law, we should not try to abide by it.

    We are not under the Torah law, but it is still good to try to abide by the non-sacrificial Torah laws. Every one of the non-sacrificial laws are a blessing to keep. (Jesus took the place of the sacrificial laws.) Also, we are expected to keep the 10 Commandments at a bare minimum. The proof is...

    Repentance

    Keeping the 10 Commandments is not legalism, but more along the lines of doing what you know you should be doing in the first place. If you always do the wrong thing, living like Satan, do you think you will go to heaven? Absolutely not.

    Repentance

    Woe to the one who thinks that keeping the 10 Commandments is legalism. "Legalism" is thinking that you have to keep the whole Torah to go to heaven, not following a few simple and obvious rules. If someone steals, habitually lies, fornicates and never forgives anyone per the 10 Commandments...

    Repentance

    You're right that the sacrificial laws are no longer in effect. However, the other laws, such as the dietary laws of not eating bacon or shellfish, leaving leftover crops at harvest, etc. can still be followed for extra favor from God and they are included in the commandments to love God and to...

    Repentance

    You're supposed to keep the Sabbath too, yes. I'm not saying you go to hell if you don't keep the Sabbath. I don't know if you will. But it's one of the core commandments. Not keeping the Sabbath jeapordizes you to some degree.

    Repentance

    Hi, Blik. This is a common question for many baby Christians who haven't studied the Word thoroughly. Here is a short breakdown of what God's law, repentance, and salvation mean. In order to go to heaven, you have to repent. You don't have to follow all 613 laws in the Bible, but you have to...
