In the post below -- I ask three simple questions.

You quote this post in 29 minutes ago #493

And yet in that post and also your next two posts -- you never get around to addressing these 3 basic questions.

=====================================

1 John 3:4 - "SIN IS transgression of the LAW" - still to this very day -- even in the NT.
Romans 6 "SHALL we SIN because we are not UNDER (the condemnation of) the LAW but under grace. God forbid!!"??

1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God"
Rev 14:12 "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus"

your controversy is "with the text"

--3 simple questions...

Christ argues this point about the "WORD of GOD" the "Commandments of God" .

Mark 7

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the Commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the Commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the Word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.


Christ said "it is a big deal" in Mark 7


1. Question 1 -- In your view - is Christ in Error in Mark 7??

2. Question 2: Eph 6:2 "What unit of LAW" is being upheld by Paul in Eph 5:2 where the 5th commandment "is the FIRST commandment with a PROMISE"?... easy answer.

3. Question 3: Heb 8:6-10 NEW COVENANT "I will write My LAW on their heart and mind" Jer 31:31-33 ---> what Law is Jer 31:31-33 referencing for Jeremiah and his readers?

=====================================



That is great news -- would you mind posting the answer where we can all see it?

Brother, the answers are found in my posts.

Furthermore...


Mathew 13:15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a]

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

This is an important discussion.

We must realize that the law is good and that it serves a purpose (Romans 7:12) but just as it reads in Romans 7, what was good was actually unto death! We must realize that the Law of Moses is actually a curse unto us! (Galatians 3:10, Galatians 3:13). Read 2 Corinthians 3, it refers the OT teachings and laws as the ministration of sin and death! We need to practice the Spirit of the Law and not the letter of the law (2 Corinthians 3:6). We cannot coexist the law and His Grace in our lives (Galatians 4). In Matthew 17, Elijah and Moses appear next to Jesus, the apostles wanted to build 3 tabernacles for each of them, but the GOD said to only listen and hear HIM.

According to this I've already passed the judgment -
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. JN 5
You have my condolences if you haven't.
All has been fulfiled according to Jesus -
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. LK 24
Those words are a direct reference to Mat 5:17-18.
If all things haven't been fulfiled then Heb 7:12 is a lie.
Jesus also said -
This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. LK 22:20
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Mat 26:28
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. MK 14:24

Why keep going on about this? It wasn't the issue, which was just said. Are responses without even reading what was said that responses are supposedly for? I haven't said who personally hasn't passed from judgment, why suggest that I personally haven't, while I don't even bring the topic of salvation into this, and saying this is the position is even against the rules of this forum. The new covenant is the covenant of the blood. Again, as it is always being missed, the atonement that is through Christ is the only one that is ever effective, as it always was. There were types and shadows for this, but commandments from Yahweh God who doesn't change don't change.

God tests us to see if we will obey His instructions, but those instructions are not to keep OT sabbath. His instructions are to follow the spirit and to walk in it, rest in it, and his instructions are taught by the spirit. The Sabbath is only a shadow. Just as the Jews followed the ten commandments, given through Moses, which included the Sabbath, so we follow the apostles commands, given through Christ, and we rest in his spirit. The Lord never commanded us to keep the OT Sabbath, or Sunday keeping either. The Sabbath keeping is in following the spirit and resting in it. That's the way i see it. If this were not true then Galatians 5 is not true.

Galatians 5:5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

Certainly you provide a fairly accurate description of the LAW of God as it relates to the lost. It condemns them.

The ROLE OF the LAW for the LOST:

Gal 3
10 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.” 11 Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “The righteous man shall live by faith.” 12 However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”

Rom 7:
7 Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? 2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. 3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died; 10 and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

Rom 3
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

1 John 3:4 - "SIN IS transgression of the LAW" - still to this very day -- even in the NT.

That same law - same chapter - we have

The ROLE of the LAW for the SAVED:

"do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31

A few here are so centered on the role of the LAW of God for the lost - they are missing the role of the LAW of God for the saved.

The ROLE of the LAW for the SAVED:

"do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31


Jer 31:
31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”


Heb 8
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete


"do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31
What law? The Law that condemns all mankind as sinners -

Romans 6 "SHALL we SIN because we are not UNDER (the condemnation of) the LAW but under grace. God forbid!!"??
1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God"
Rev 14:12 "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus"


1John 2:
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.


John says -
Rev 22:
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.(KJV)

You mean the law of love as John so eloquently wrote in 1Jn 3: 19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

the Law of Moses is not "of" GOD. the Law of Moses is "from" God, written by God; but by no means does it reflect the Glory and Nature of GOD Himself. Galatians 3 says that the law was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ that we may be justified by by faith. That is how we establish the law according to the Scripture you referenced in Romans 3:31. Also, God will not Judge according to the law, He judges according to the Faith. Christ has become the end of the law to all who believe and now GOD judges by faith and through faith. Romans 3:28-31

the Law of Moses is not "of" GOD.

Your argument is "with the text" of 2Tim 3:16 and 2Peter 1:19-21.

Answering these three easy questions may help make that point more clear.

your controversy is "with the text"

--3 simple questions...

Christ argues this point about the "WORD of GOD" the "Commandments of God" .

Mark 7

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the Commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the Commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the Word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.


Christ said "it is a big deal" in Mark 7

Christ said - "Moses said" -- "Word of God" -- "Commandment of God" are all the same thing - in Mark 7.


1. Question 1 -- In your view - is Christ in Error in Mark 7??

2. Question 2: Eph 6:2 "What unit of LAW" is being upheld by Paul in Eph 5:2 where the 5th commandment "is the FIRST commandment with a PROMISE"?... easy answer.

3. Question 3: Heb 8:6-10 NEW COVENANT "I will write My LAW on their heart and mind" Jer 31:31-33 ---> what Law is Jer 31:31-33 referencing for Jeremiah and his readers?

the Law of Moses is "from" God, written by God; but by no means does it reflect the Glory and Nature of GOD Himself.

1. It is scripture.
2. It is the Law of God.
3. It is spoken by God Himself in Exodus 20 - thundered from Sinai.
4. In Heb 8:6-10 it is stated as the words of Christ.

You mean the law of love

James 2 -- the Royal Law...the "Law of Liberty"
8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said,Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

In which Eph the "FIRST commandment with a promise" is Ex 20:12 -- the 5th commandment - according to Eph 6:2

How do we KNOW that we Love God and Love others?

John has the answer..

1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and His Commandments are not grievous.

You claim we are doing wrong if we don't observe Sabbath law. I was only saying that its not evil to be free from the law and to walk in the spirit. Thats what God promised us, that's what paul teaches us. None of the other apostles in the NT seem to be in conflict with paul either. None of them teach us to keep the Sabbath.

1. They all affirm that "what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19.
2. They all affirm that "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12
3. They all affirm that "SIN IS transgression of the LAW" 1 John 3:4
4. They all affirm that "We ESTABLISH the LAW by our faith" Rom 3:31
5. They all affirm that the lost do not keep the LAW of God - neither indeed can they Rom 8:4-9
6. They all affirm the NEW Covenant - for the saints - which says that the LAW of God is "written on the heart and mind" of the saints.

As we saw on page one of this thread -- many pro-sunday preachers/scholars admit to the same obvious Bible details.

for example --

Here we have section 19 of the Westminster - and of course you already have a few posts of mine quoting the "Baptist Confession of Faith"

Westminster Confession of Faith Section 19
"Westminster Confession of Faith"
Chapter XIX
Of the Law of God
I. God gave to Adam a law, as a covenant of works, by which He bound him and all his posterity, to personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedience, promised life upon the fulfilling, and threatened death upon the breach of it, and endued him with power and ability to keep it.

II. This law, after his fall, continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness; and, as such, was delivered by God upon Mount Sinai, in ten commandments, and written in two tables: the first four commandments containing our duty towards God; and the other six, our duty to man.
III. Besides this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel, as a church under age, ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordinances, partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, His graces, actions, sufferings, and benefits;l and partly, holding forth divers instructions of moral duties. All which ceremonial laws are now abrogated, under the New Testament

IV. To them also, as a body politic, He gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the State of that people; not obliging under any now, further than the general equity thereof may require.

V. The moral law does forever bind all, as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof; and that, not only in regard of the matter contained in it, but also in respect of the authority of God the Creator, who gave it. Neither does Christ, in the Gospel, any way dissolve, but much strengthen this obligation.
VI. Although true believers be not under the law, as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified, or condemned; yet is it of great use to them, as well as to others; in that, as a rule of life informing them of the will of God, and their duty, it directs and binds them to walk accordingly; discovering also the sinful pollutions of their nature, hearts and lives; so as, examining themselves thereby, they may come to further conviction of, humiliation for, and hatred against sin, together with a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ, and the perfection of His obedience It is likewise of use to the regenerate, to restrain their corruptions, in that it forbids sin: and the threatenings of it serve to show what even their sins deserve; and what afflictions, in this life, they may expect for them, although freed from the curse thereof threatened in the law The promises of it, in like manner, show them God's approbation of obedience,and what blessings they may expect upon the performance thereof: although not as due to them by the law as a covenant of works. So as, a man's doing good, and refraining from evil, because the law encourages to the one and deters from the other, is no evidence of his being under the law: and not under grace

VII. Neither are the forementioned uses of the law contrary to the grace of the Gospel, but do sweetly comply with it; the Spirit of Christ subduing and enabling the will of man to do that freely, and cheerfully, which the will of God, revealed in the law, requires to be done.​

1. They all affirm that "what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19.
2. They all affirm that "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12
3. They all affirm that "SIN IS transgression of the LAW" 1 John 3:4
4. They all affirm that "We ESTABLISH the LAW by our faith" Rom 3:31
5. They all affirm that the lost do not keep the LAW of God - neither indeed can they Rom 8:4-9
6. They all affirm the NEW Covenant - for the saints - which says that the LAW of God is "written on the heart and mind" of the saints.

Yes, but the commands of God are not the ten commandments, at least not in the way you think anyway. Have you never read Romans 13-14? How about Galatians 5? Read them together and meditate on them, instead of just listening to your denominations flawed teaching. You have Gods spirit as a teacher, you dont need a teacher brother. Meditate on it and think about it carefully.

Why keep going on about this? It wasn't the issue, which was just said. Are responses without even reading what was said that responses are supposedly for? I haven't said who personally hasn't passed from judgment, why suggest that I personally haven't, while I don't even bring the topic of salvation into this, and saying this is the position is even against the rules of this forum. The new covenant is the covenant of the blood. Again, as it is always being missed, the atonement that is through Christ is the only one that is ever effective, as it always was. There were types and shadows for this, but commandments from Yahweh God who doesn't change don't change.
Wasn't your post about the white throne judgment?

According to the Bible -
10 Commandments are –
“Commandments of God” Neh 10:29
“Law of God” Neh 10:29
“Word of God” Mark 7:13
“Commandment of God” Mark 7:6-13
NT “Scripture” James 2:8
NT “Law” – James 2:9-11
NT Commandments Eph 6:2, Rom 13:9, Romans 7:7-10


Eph 6:2 the LAW of God is the one where Ex 20:12 "Honor your father and mother" -- is the "FIRST commandment WITH a promise" - according to Paul.

In what unit of LAW - is that true other than the TEN Commandments?
