Trying to imitate Christ will put one under the law and bring them condemnation.
Oh.Trying to imitate Christ will put one under the law and bring them condemnation.
Here are the verses that refer to the avenger of blood. Should not there be witnesses and a court instead of a person getting even? Murder for murder does not make sense. Now there is more than one murder.The only occasion in Israel when one was allowed to murder was for the avenger of the blood to get even but only before the original murder did not in time reach a city of refuge and as long as the High Priest was still alive.
Any thing against the Law of Moses is never okay. Never forget what Jesus said in his parable of the Riechman and Lazarus: If you never want to end up in hell-fire in the afterlife, listen to "Moses" aka the Law. That's in Luke 16:29-31.
I agree. The reason I said this is because it appeared to be implied that someone might think that if they are mad they can murder, which is false and wrong.

Amen, brother. Amen.1 John 2
3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
1 Corinthians 11:1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.
Ephesians 5
1Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
2And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
1 John 3
1Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
That makes no sense. He lived according to the Torah. Any likeness of Him will include it. No one said to keep to get saved. That's your spam.It is the work of the Holy Spirit to produce Christ likeness in the life of the believer.
Trying to produce Christ likeness by the law or religion will lead to being under the law.

The law is only taken away for those not under the law. Those that are not under the law have the Holy Spirit who guides them to follow the law. If one does not have the Holy Spirit then they are still under the law.
1 Corinthians and Galatians point out again that we need to be in the Spirit. If we have the Holy Spirit of God then we are all in one body in Christ and not under the law.
Firstly, I thank you for your very Christian use of language.
Secondly, you quoted the Christian Bible- not mine. It's like a Muslim quoting the Koran to you to prove some point.
The Book of the Law has been taken out of the way, but not the covenant.
Thanks so much for stating the obvious. Why do you suppose I chose murder and not some other sin? It precisely because there's no denying that its "never okay".Murder is never okay.
I agree with that, but it doesn't prevent us from following Him in action.Jesus was God's law incarnate in human flesh, Romans 3:21.
As our substitute and representative he has offered to God the Father a life of perfect obedience according to his Holy Law. He did this in our name and on our behalf. We are complete in him, Colossians 2:10.
Have you not been reading other threads? It's been made abundantly clear multiple times that Colossians 2 is talking about the debt incurred through a transaction. That's what the Greek says. Any interpretation outside of that is antinomian.
In these moments, he warns against the use of the Law by certain sects of Judaism to justify and save the Gentiles. It's the same argument that occurred in Acts 15: do the Gentiles need to be circumcised and keep the Law in order to be saved. Paul says no. Peter says no. They are saved because of faith and then are to learn Moses as he is taught in synagogue every Sabbath.
Ok.
If this is to justify your reasoning behind your your antinomianism, enjoy yourself. Before you do that, just understand that all of the commands (which are the categories that all the other commands fall into) were followed and understood in Genesis.
Fine with me. Just understand that I will still respond to error filled posts.... Even if you don't want to respond to me.
None of the verses prove anything except our unity and that the law isn't our salvation.

I have. Very much so. That ultimately means that I'd like to stop.You can't even come close.
You need to accept the fact that you are a sinner, Romans 3:10.

Paul lived his life before God as a sinner. A saved sinner.

You are not a Christian.
By that I mean that you do not know Christ, you are not saved, you believe something - else. I don't really care to learn just what it is because I don't care.
You ignore arguments and repeat your position as though that refutes the ignored arguments. You then ignore anything that resembles the plain reading of scripture and turn it into whatever is required to suit your quasi-Judaism/Messianic believe whatever you wantism.
In short, you're a waste of my time. I don't do one way discussions about Christian doctrine with people from other religions.
Resting in Him,
