  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

None of them say what you have claimed.
Not even the one that says what I claimed?

2 Corinthians 3:3
And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Romans 1:20

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

I include this one saying that God's law is not in ink or carved on stone.

Psalm 40:8
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”

Your words don't match Davids words. Your words don't match the Torah.

David's words don't match your initial assertion either:

YHWH's word says that any writings are of no particular importance.

I posted it first. Rebuttal? I don't believe that Paul is contradicting the TaNaK. Paul taught almost exclusively from the TaNaK. I don't believe that Paul is contradicting Yahshua; as Yahshua was YHWH's word in the flesh.

Do you believe that Paul is refuting the words of Yahshua?

Do you feel the need to rebut this teaching of Paul?


I did not see where you posted what I did, first

No, I believe exactly what Paul wrote, that is why I posted it as I did.

I asked you my question because, I did not understand your post, below.

Psalm 40:8
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”

Yes indeed! In the Spirit of Christ we can love God and neighbour true and fulfil the law doing that.

That is the best part of knowing Jesus! We can love true!

Someone who loves his or her brother or sister true loves them like Christ loved them - unconditionally!
1 John 3:19-24
This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 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.

However religious bickering causes disunity between believers.

Micah 7:2
"The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets."

So we have to accept one another as we are just like God accepts us as we are. Rather than focussing on doing anything right, we have to focus on Christ and learn to love true, only then can we know we are in His Spirit.
1 John 4:7-21
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.


We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Peace.

Your words contradict Paul.

YHWH's word says that any writings are of no particular importance.

(CLV) Dt 11:18
Hence you will place these my words in your heart and in your soul, and you will tie them as a sign on your hand, and let them come to be as brow-bands between your eyes.

SHEMA!

(CLV) Dt 6:4
Hear, Israel! Yahweh is our Elohim; Yahweh the only One.

(CLV) Dt 6:5
So you will love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your intensity.

(CLV) Dt 6:6
These words which I am instructing you today will come to be in your heart.

The foremost precept is to love YHWH. Loving our associates is included in that commandment.


(CLV) 1Jn 5:3

For this is the love of God, that we may be keeping His precepts. And His precepts are not heavy,

Matthew 5: 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, 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; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Do you have a Bible? If not, I can direct you to one online.



(CLV) Pr 6:23
For instruction is a lamp, and law is a light, And the reproofs of admonition are the way to life



Not so.



Guess.



See post #7.



See post #7.



Are you suggesting that I'm doing Satan's job, by posting the words of Yahshua?



No. Do you suppose that every Christian is seeking to obey YHWH in the footsteps of Yahshua?



Glad we got this misconception about me straightened out.



Harping? The words of Yahshua don't upset me.
It's not what you say that is the issue. It is your attitude behind it and what you leave out.

I'm not sure how this is relevant to the OP; but the truth that Yahshua spoke here, in contrast to what some might have heard from men, is found in the Torah

Hebrews 8:13
In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

The author of Hebrews never said that the Torah is vanishing away.

That would contradict Yahshua.


(CLV) Mt 5:18

For verily, I am saying to you, Till heaven and earth should be passing by, one iota or one serif may by no means be passing by from the law till all should be occurring.

16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
