Apparently, you didn't understand a word I wrote. You just keep coming back with all your canned, out of context, rhetoric. All I can do is pray and feel sorry for you.According to the scriptures in the new covenant, Gods' ISRAEL are no longer those in the flesh but all those who are now born of the Spirit through faith in Gods' Word *Romans 9:6-8; Galatians 3:28-29 and Romans 2:28-29. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL in the new covenant you have no part in God's new covenant promise *Hebrews 8:10-12 from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27. Gentile believers are now grafted in *Romans 11:13-27 and we are all now one in Christ *Ephesians 2:11-15; Galatians 3:28. Therefore all the Word of God is for all those who now believe and follow Gods' Word. (need more scripture?). According to the scriptures Bob, sin still is the transgression of the law *1 John 3:4 because it is only through the law that we have the knowledge of what sin is according to Paul in Romans 3:20 and Romans 7:7. That is why Paul says that the law is holy, just and good in Romans 7:12 and why James says if we knowingly break anyone of God's 10 commandments we stand guilty before God of sin in James 2:10-11. Of course God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is if we willfully break it once God gives us the knowledge of what is Word says (James 4:17; Acts of the Apostles 5:29). According to John those who practice sin which is defined as breaking anyone of Gods laws - 1 John 3:4) and those who do not practice sin is the difference between the children of God and the children of the devil in 1 John 3:6-10; 1 John 2:3-4; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12 and Revelation 22:14.
Something to pray about.
Paraphrasing what I wrote is this: My parents had a law that I was not allowed to climb the cherry tree. Now Johnny, who lived next door, didn't have this command by his parents. He was allowed to climb the tree any time he pleased. For me it was a sin, but for Johnny it was perfectly his choosing to climb or not.
God gave Israel the laws of the Sinai covenant. For them it was sin to break any one of them. God didn't give me all those laws, so am I sinning when I don't observe laws given exclusively to Israel? Was Johnny somehow sinning even though he was not under the law?
