Jason0047 lives in the world of structure, rules, regulations, OT Law, and more. He is unwilling to yield his eisegesic* interpretations to God's exegesic* Truth in application. He just doesn't understand salvation by Grace through Faith, the FREE Gift of God for those who confess Jesus as Savior. Works do not sustain Grace following that confession; Grace embraces the works (ministry) of those who are saved, in Holy recognition of their contribution to the spreading of the Word of God, "Jesus Saves." Every Christian is given opportunities to share his or her faith. That calls for prayer before and after Bible study:
"Father, you know me. You have saved me for all eternity. I give you praise. Holy Spirit, be my instructor, my guide, Your Blessed Presence always with me. In the Precious Name of Jesus, Amen!"
*Be sure to look up unfamiliar terminology!
Actually, I believe the OT Law was fulfilled on the cross by Jesus. This is why the temple veil was torn. But that does not mean that Christ's sacrifce has undone his own words or commands or the commands given by God thru his followers in the New Testament text. It would be silly to say that there are no dire consequences in the after life to looking upon a woman in lust (Matthew 5:28-30). For God to say such a thing and then turn around and say that such a thing does not apply anymore all of a sudden is just meaningless rubbish. Your belief is not consistent with what the New Testament actually says.
