And insisting (forcing?) for others to do the same..." <IMG alt="" src="http://www.christianforums.com/images/smilies/scratch.gif" border=0> ?
P-L-E-A-S-E understand 'me', at least? that, that is the furtherest thing from my 'soul'!!
My Master tells me that if 'i' (ME!) LOVE HIM, 'to keep His commandments'!
He tells me that I can 'do ALL THINGS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENETH ME! And THAT HIS GRACE IS MADE {{{PERFECT}}} in [my weakness]. YET, NEVER DO i SERVE (OBEY-WORK) HIM TO BE SAVED, BUT BECAUSE I [WANT TOOOO!] OK? AND THAT INCLUDES ALL OF [HIS ROYAL COMMANDMENTS]. (this change came when i surendered my 'will to Him')
Amen PastorNB...
I just get weary hearing people argue about things in "the law" such as religious feasts or celebrations and when to do what. We are not bound by that now. And I don't even think being a Gentile has anything to do with it. Even the Gentiles (Goyim) who stayed in the Israelite Camp were commanded to follow the same customs and celebrations that the Jews were. Our freedom now has EVERYTHING to do with the New Covenant (not the New "Law"...There is no new "law" other than to love one another as commanded by Jesus).
I have to admit I had a little trouble following some of what you said in your post...I don't know if it's because you were unclear or I'm too "unlearned".
Can I ask what your background is (I mean what are your "religious" beliefs (for lack of a better term...I don't like the term "religious" or "religion"...at least as it applies today!))? I'm just curious...
Thanks!
