God’s Law

- Start date
This OP is different from each of my other OPs. I see no problem with it. Do you have anything about it that you would like to comment on, ask a question, or share some insight?
Consider these verses from the New Testament.
1 John 2:29 NASB - 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.
1 John 3:7 NASB - 7 Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;
Romans 6:1-23 NASB - 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
saying the same in a different way is not a different topic.
You could use any of your other 20 threads going on the same topic you keep bringing up over and over - torah, law, commands.
At least TRY to be a little courteous on our forum, please.
You try to warn someone, and they still WANT to put their hand on the hot stove.Tell him Tam !!!atrol:
No.
I forgive you as well. This thread was to the glory of God. You are attempting to encourage her or pit her against me.
I will be okay. This forum is to learn about Christianity, God's word, and the gospel. We do not lack in discussions about God's commands. Either you are for God or against Him. If you have a problem with me just talk with me about it. Anyone can pm me but if you choose to address the OP I will talk with you about it.
Christianity was founded on Judaism and we still have Torah old covenant or not. Christians can study Torah or old covenant law without anyone stopping them. We should be able to discuss it freely, Jew or Gentile.
I observe Judaism and Christianity. The law of the land I live in was founded upon the Judeo-Christian ethic.
The Religion Forum is for more (Judaism independent from Christianity can be discussed, but why not having accepted or to also discuss Yeshua the Messiah) than Exclusively Christian Theology. As a Christian I have no problem posting there as well. But it is possible that more people will see threads in the Religion Forum. I am okay with either one.

God's law makes one aware of sin. God set up a sacrificial system to acknowledge ones sins. However, it did not work. Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice for all sins. Jesus is our High Priest in heaven whom we are to go to for our sins. If one obeys the two Great Commandments they will be obeying all of God's Commandments.
What is God's definition of love? Do we get to decide what is love or does he?

You obey nothing.
Stupid Christians parrot keeping the law and they don't even know what the law says.

Human love is conditional and God's agape love is unconditional.
If you can love every person you meet unconditionally then you have God's love.
Who defines love? Do we?

God's love is defined as 'agape' the supreme selfless love which is in opposition to human love or 'phileo'.
Go look it up if you don't believe me.
How does one demonstrate agape? Is it by doing whatever is right in our own eyes?

By having the supreme self-sacrificing love of Jesus. Do you have this love?
Did Jesus obey God's law? If so, was his obedience motivated by love toward God?
Do you have this love?

"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth..." (1 Cor. 13:4-8).
Yes, that's Paul's definition but God is love and he has his own definition of love. The two commandments Jesus referred to were a brief synopsis of God's definition. The first four define love toward God and the next six define love toward neighbor.
