xxx Jesus fulfilled the old testament law and shows us how to fulfill it to. The old testament law is still in affect on those who have not followed Jesus example. Love is the fulfillment of the old testament. And if one can learn what love is they also can follow Jesus' example by fulfilling the law. Love is to suffer wrongfully but do it willingly. Love is not a feeling or an emotions it is an action. The act of not giving into all the emotions that push one into beleiving and holding on to the law of sin and death(punishment). The old testament is the law of sin and death. The new testament is the law of Christ(love). Fulfill means to bring to an end. The old testament is the idea that everyone has to pay for their wrongs. The new testament in Christ is bear one anothers burdens. Everyone who is not submitting to the law of Christ is still under the old testament law of sin and death.


Rom 7:6
6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,

Of course you don't. That is why you are a hypocrite.

It is just lame excuse to disgrace Jesus' noble teachings. Just because you are not willing or cannot does not have right to spread lies.

Yes, and with God all things are possible, and Jesus said blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it (Luke 11), so he's not telling us to do those things for nothing, and Jesus said, by their fruits you shall know them. And the Holy Spirit will help us to overcome and do the works of God, once we are walking in the Spirit.

Matthew 7

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Galatians 5

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

[Gal 5:24
24 And those [who are] Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

I don't know where you have written about what you have seen.

But I believe that Galatians 5:24 means to die to self. To be put to death by the Spirit. And by saying to be put to death I mean this, If we obey the law it puts us to death, meaning by obeying it we stop doing things wrong and the lusts and works of our flesh start dying. But the law doesn't bring us life. We get that through Jesus.

Once we hear the word of God and believe and have true faith and we are born of God, after we have been given the Holy Spirit, then he starts guiding us and teaching us and we are being put to death by him. We start turning from sin and the works of the flesh to do the will of God. Thus we die to self. But the laws doesn't bring life, we need the Spirit for that, and the way is Christ Jesus.

Once we truly believe and obey his teachings, then God in his time will bless us with the Spirit who will help us to overcome our flesh. The law brings death, but the Spirit puts to death and brings life, thus we don't need to follow the letter of the law because the laws of God are put in our hearts and minds by the Spirit through Christ Jesus, and as we grow in God by the power of the Spirit, the righteousness of Christ grows within us and our hearts and lives should be becoming more and more like that of Jesus, as our hearts and minds are changed to be more like his. And if we truly obey the two greatest commandments, which is to love our lord God with all our heart, mind and soul and our neighbour as ourselves, then by these, we should be obeying Gods laws. And if we truly follow Christ Jesus then through him by the power of the Spirit we can start to overcome this world and the works of the flesh.

That's what I believe to be the truth. And Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and the only way to the father is through him, Christ Jesus has showed us how to live right before God, he's our perfect example to follow.

[Squeaky]

I don't know where you have written about what you have seen.

But I believe that Galatians 5:24 means to die to self. To be put to death by the Spirit. And by saying to be put to death I mean this, If we obey the law it puts us to death, meaning by obeying it we stop doing things wrong and the lusts and works of our flesh start dying. But the law doesn't bring us life. We get that through Jesus.

Once we hear the word of God and believe and have true faith and we are born of God, after we have been given the Holy Spirit, then he starts guiding us and teaching us and we are being put to death by him. We start turning from sin and the works of the flesh to do the will of God. Thus we die to self. But the laws doesn't bring life, we need the Spirit for that, and the way is Christ Jesus.

Once we truly believe and obey his teachings, then God in his time will bless us with the Spirit who will help us to overcome our flesh. The law brings death, but the Spirit puts to death and brings life, thus we don't need to follow the letter of the law because the laws of God are put in our hearts and minds by the Spirit through Christ Jesus, and as we grow in God by the power of the Spirit, the righteousness of Christ grows within us and our hearts and lives should be becoming more and more like that of Jesus, as our hearts and minds are changed to be more like his. And if we truly obey the two greatest commandments, which is to love our lord God with all our heart, mind and soul and our neighbour as ourselves, then by these, we should be obeying Gods laws. And if we truly follow Christ Jesus then through him by the power of the Spirit we can start to overcome this world and the works of the flesh.

That's what I believe to be the truth. And Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and the only way to the father is through him, Christ Jesus has showed us how to live right before God, he's our perfect example to follow.

I said
Some people are waiting for the Holy Spirit to do it for them. And this verse tells us that this is something we must do. Resist your emotions until they have to flee from you.

[Gal 5:24
24 And those [who are] Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

[Jas 4:7

Yes squeaky, is not all done for us, and Jesus hasn't done it all for us either, he's lived it out, and bore witness to the truth, preached the gospel and showed us a new and living way to live before God, and those who truly follow him are to live it out and obey God also. That's why he was our perfect example to follow. And once we turn from our sin, through faith by the grace of God, Christ by the Spirit will strengthen us and help us to overcome. But we have to start to turn from sin and do Gods will. It's not all done for us.

We are blessed in that the Spirit shows us our sins, and guides us in the truth, it's up to us then to stop doing them, turn from the works of the flesh and obey the living God.

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Romans 10:16-17

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God

 

[Squeaky]

Yes squeaky, is not all done for us, and Jesus hasn't done it all for us either, he's lived it out, and bore witness to the truth, preached the gospel and showed us a new and living way to live before God, and those who truly follow him are to live it out and obey God also. That's why he was our perfect example to follow. And once we turn from our sin, through faith by the grace of God, Christ by the Spirit will strengthen us and help us to overcome. But we have to start to turn from sin and do Gods will. It's not all done for us.

We are blessed in that the Spirit shows us our sins, and guides us in the truth, it's up to us then to stop doing them, turn from the works of the flesh and obey the living God.


2 Corinthians 10:5

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

Romans 1:5

Romans 10:16-17

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
