(CLV) Jn 14:23
Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone should be loving Me, he will be keeping My word, and My Father will be loving him, and We shall be coming to him and making an abode with him.

(CLV) Jn 14:24
He who is not loving Me, is not keeping My words. And the word which you are hearing is not Mine, but the Father's Who sends Me.

Our Lord Jesus Christ frees us from man's yoke of Bondage. "hallelujah", praise to the King of heaven and earth. Revelation 1:18. You have the keys to hell and death Lord, your servants will supernaturally follow your commandments on earth and will never be in bondage to man's traditions/laws.

Praise to our Lord Jehovah Tsidkenu.

1 John 5:3, Matthew 11:30, Matthew 23:4, John 14:15, john 14:21, John 14:23, 2 John 1:6
He gave us two commandments:
The Lord Our God, The Lord is One; Thou shalt love thy Lord, thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind", before also referring to a second commandment, "And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

1 John 5:3, Matthew 11:30, Matthew 23:4, John 14:15, john 14:21, John 14:23, 2 John 1:6

Jesus was asked: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments," (Matt 22:36-40).

just making precautions here, because we can be a very technical creature at times:D. What does 'hang'/'hangeth' mean?

We'll end up going around in circles studying Leviticus 11 again and such like. Faith in Christ these days is getting as bad as the Spanish inquisition. If anyone reading this is a Messianic Jew, Jehovah Tsidkenu would not punish you for eating shellfish. You are one in Christ (Jew and Gentile). Its what goes out of the mouth is more offensive to the Lord your God, not what goes into it.

Don't forget about this one:

Then Jesus speaks to the throngs and to His disciples,

(CLV) Mt 23:2
saying, "On Moses' seat are seated the scribes and the Pharisees.

(CLV) Mt 23:3
All, then, whatever they should be saying to you, do and keep it. Yet according to their acts do not be doing, for they are saying and not doing.

I would love if you wouldn't quote scripture for the sake of quoting it, but try to help us Gentiles understand what your quoting? That would help Hark!

Can i pick ears of corn on the Sabbath? eat food from unwashed utensils? talk with the tax collectors? dine with the wedding guests who drink wine?, ignore the sick and disabled? pay money into the Temple to avoid looking after my elderly parent? never talk with a gentile and do not allow them into your Temple? Avoid sinful people like the plague?, go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem for exactly what reason?, get baptised in the river Jordon for what reason?, erect an earthly high Priest between God and man again?, offer up animal sacrifices for what reason?. sure i might as well re-create Solomons Temple with all the pagan worship in it? ............

I would pray that YHWH leads each of us with his Ruach Ha'Kodesh, to study the example that was set by his only begotten son; so that we can better serve him.

This is not the forum for this discussion; but if you would like to start a thread in the Messianic Jewish Forum, I would be honored to discuss these topics in detail with you.

Shalom, peace be with you.

I was on the OBOB section and i was warned. I don't want to go onto the Messianic section and get banned for months. thankyou very much for your invitation, but i'd rather not be tempted. to the best of my knowledge this section is open, but other sections are extremely strict and will ban you for the slightest technicality they can find that they think degrades their belief, without the person in question realising they have caused an offence.

Maybe you see it also, but i believe the rules on certain section of this forum will lead towards a Solomon Temple

god Bless

Well I wouldn't want any more trouble to come your way. There is much liberty in the General Theology Forum. Perhaps I will see you there sometime.

Esteem to our heavenly Father.

On a deeper level, i think what is was really asking is what are Christ's commandments fulfilled? Personally i'm drawn more and more to the characteristics of a Christian. Those characteristics Paul, Peter, John and others described in the NT. Obviously Christ's 2 commandments are obvious and have been posted on this thread, but the fulfilling of Christ's commandments (which i personally believe is an expansion of the 10 commandments of Moses) needs to be listed. Many ministers/pastors/priests, etc will give you a starting point of a few and tell you to work on those, but has anyone listed a complete fulfilment of the 10 commandments according to the NT?

Isaiah 8:20 "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

John 14:15 " If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1 John 5:3, Matthew 11:30, Matthew 23:4, John 14:15, john 14:21, John 14:23, 2 John 1:6

  1. Salvation by faith and baptism
    Jesus Christ appeared unto the eleven disciples and He said to them: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be damned." (Mark 16:14-16).

  2. Make disciples of all the nations
    Jesus Christ said to the eleven disciples to go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all things that He has commanded them. Jesus Christ also said that all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth, and that He will with His disciples always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:18-20).

  3. Love your enemies and be perfect as your heavenly Father
    Jesus Christ said: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you, that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:44-48).

  4. According to Matthew 6:1-13, Jesus Christ said:
    1. “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven." (Matthew 6:1)
    2. “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men." (Matthew 6:5).
    3. "when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." (Matthew 6:6).
    4. "When you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do and don't be like them."
    5. "Pray to Our Father in heaven" (Our Father prayer). (Matthew 6:9-13).

  5. Keep His commandments, if you love Him
    Jesus Christ commanded us, that if we love Him, we keep commandments (
    John 14:15).

  6. Abide in Him
    Jesus Christ commanded us to abide in Him, as He abides in us (
    John 15:4).

  7. Take heed that no one deceive you
    Jesus Christ said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them." (Luke 21:8).
