The law in its entirety (ceremonial, civil, and moral) is the Torah and this is THE law which James said if you offend in just one point (of the 613 commandments), you are guilty of ALL. So there is NO division of the law, and if you don't obey ALL, you broke ALL!
This is not what the Scripture said. Sorry. Compare mine with the bible.
The entirety of the law was nailed to the cross (Colossians 2:14), not just the parts that you believe are not applicable to you.
Again is not what the Scripture said. Col. 2:14 said about our record of sin, our debt to the law, for we were transgressor of the law. And Christ had paid for that debt, dying for us.
The passage in Mark 10 states in verse 20: "And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth." That was NOT what the young man needed to inherit eternal because he went away sad "And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions."
Yes, the love for self is to great for the man, he wont follow Jesus advice, for although he did keep the 10 Cs that Jesus said, but he didn't fulfill the demand of the law by the spirit, just the letter. This is only a proof that what Jesus wants from his believer is to keep the 10 Cs and not the ceremonial law.
The "commandments" in John 14:15 were NOT the Torah/Mosaic Law (the 613 commandments).
Yes, you are right. it was not. It is the Ten Commandments.
Jesus said that unless our righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, we will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
The law in its entirety came to an end at the cross.
Your view will stand against dozens of verses in the NT alone.
It is a completely wrong thinking that because the Pharisees could only keep the letter of the law but failed to fulfill the righteous demands of the law that Christ must nail his holy law to his cross in order his believers would be released from the law's keeping obligation that would brought them only to condemnation.
Did you know that He gave us the power to keep the law perfectly and fulfill it demands? Read Romans 8:3, 4.
The law of liberty is not the Torah/Mosaic Law. The law of liberty are the teachings of the New Testament regarding the Christian life. It is called "the law of liberty" because while the instruction of the New Testament is a requirement God places before His people, it is a law of liberty because we obey God out of gratitude for His grace.
Sorry, I disagree. It doesn't fit to the teaching of James.
You have totally pulled those verses out of context. You need to rightly divide the Word and learn what the "commandments" are in context of the verses that come before and the verses which come after what you quote. Scripture interprets scripture.
Not at all!. It is nicely in context and fit properly to the Scripture.
Keeping the law is NOT proof of your faith in Christ...and it is NOT the fruit of the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit produces the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-24).
Keeping the law perfectly and fulfill its holy righteous demands is certainly fruit of the Spirit, because it fits to Romans 8:4. and some other text. There are only two way of life. Walking in the Spirit and living for the flesh, so, I knew that fulfilling the law demands is not of the flesh.
The 10 commandments is NOT the rule for the Christian. Christ is the rule. We are to put on the Lord Jesus Christ, not the 10 commandments.
Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Sorry, I disagree. Christ is our Savior and Lord, not the rule or the law. He is the law maker and giver, and the law is the description of his character, but it is not him self. When he died at the cross the law of Ten Cs didn't die with him except the ceremonial law. That's why, this 10 cs was taught to us by Paul, James after his ascension to heaven.
Putting Jesus on in our hearts and minds doesn't mean overruling the demands of the law, or annulling it. Far of it. Putting Jesus Christ is an act of faith, and what did Paul said? Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. Romans 3:31.
Clear? If it is not annulling the law, it means the jurisdiction of the law over Christ believers remains, and the obligation to keep it remains and the damnation remains for whoever transgressed the law.And Paul clarify, not the 613 law we will keep, but only the Ten, for the ceremonial law was nailed to the cross. otherwise Christ believers must do the ritual again.
Nice verse....but are you implying that "seeking God's kingdom means to "keep the Torah/Mosaic Law"?
No! It is for those who seek with their heart the righteous teaching of the Scripture, to be open minded and willing to accept whatever righteousness is being presented here, even it stands against their believe and faith for many years. So be with you!
I repeat...if you are NOT keeping the law (Torah/Mosaic Law--613 commandments) in its entirety, you are guilty of breaking the entire law (ceremonial, civil and moral). Also if you are striving to "perfect" your salvation by keeping the law, you are still in bondage to it and you put yourself under its curse (Galatians 3:10-12)
Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Paul didn't say that. Compare with mine and the Scripture.
Paul said to the Galatians believers, how foolish they were for leaving the teaching of righteousness by faith as according Paul's teaching to them years ago, and come back again to the beggary elements of the world, to attain righteousness by works of the law, just because some false brothers of the Jews came and taught them so. he said, even an angel from heaven taught them, it must be cursed.
His reasoning is clear,
the man who does them shall live by them; a repetition of Romans 2:13 - for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified. Which clearly said, that unless the righteousness of a man passed the law's judgment by keeping it perfectly and fulfill it demands, no one will be justified for living eternally. But further on he said that this righteousness could not be obtained by our own works, only through Christ, by His Spirit (Romans 8:4).
without Me you can do
nothing. John 15:5.
Neglecting Jesus and held our own strength to keep the law for righteousness only brought us under condemnation of the law. because the law is holy, just and good, and we are sinful flesh, never could the flesh fulfill the law demands, how good and hard you try (Romans 8:5-8). Only by the Spirit through faith in the grace of God you might be success (Titus 2: 11-14; Romans 8:4; Galatians 5:18)
That is what Paul said to the Galatians. Never about annulling the 10 Cs.
==============================
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:3.
