See a carnal minded person would tell you a thing or two about yourself,
but a spiritual minded person would dust his feet off and keep moving.
So I'm going to keep moving, I put forth a nought scriptures and verses
to prove my point to letter whether you believe or not so, take it or leave it.
Deuteronomy 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it
30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Revelation 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.
Your statement about what a carnal and spiritual person would do bears false humility, and pride poorly veiled. Your quotes show that you continue to miss the point I'm making, and you erroneously view me as one disregarding and abolishing the commandments.
Concerning my telling you things to your face boldly, including what I think of your arguments and reasoning, that is not wrong or against any commandment of God. Neither is it an indicator of being carnally minded. Paul was very bold in pointing out the errors of Judaisers and those saying Gentiles needed to physically keep the letter of the OT law to be saved and right with God. He rebuked such boldly and actually exposed them as the carnal ones.
So, the question is, do you think Paul was spiritually minded and used by God to write 2/3 of the NT, or do you think Paul was carnal and false, and we should get rid of his letters from the canon?
I ask because your idea of legality goes completely contrary to his letters and rebukes of such people in his day.
Because I believe he was spiritual and a foundational Apostle (one writing the foundation of Scripture), I will continue to follow his example in rebuking those like you who try to put the saints in bondage to legalism. However, like Paul, I will continue to establish the right purpose of the law in commandments, by faith. I do not abolish the commandments as you insist on thinking and responding as if I do. Wake up.
