[Sanerive]

Why does Jesus says strait and narrow is the way and few find it? Why does he say not everyone who calls me lord lord will enter the kingdom? Why does Paul say "wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall"?

I not talking about the list of 10 commandments im talking about Jesus commandments and there are more than 2.

I fully agree with this. There's heaps that Jesus instructs and commands as well as the apostles. But there is more to consider in this:

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - Matt. 22:37-40 KJV

What I would encourage anyone to do who is familiar with this passage and any other like it is to meditate on the sum of these with special time devoted to verse 40.

 

[11822]

Why should i be silent and not post the complete doctrine of Christ including all His commandments? Is it not the truth?

 

[from scratch]

On the Scripture thing I've sure tried to use them with explanations. The one that seem like attacks are things like Gal 5:4 where Paul says you can't have both the law and grace. They are opposites and the verse clearly says to meif you take the law you forsake Jesus and His work of redemption. Paul clearsly states Christ is of no effect if one goes by the law. Hey that isn't me. That is the Bible.

What a bout his testimony found in Romans 7:&-25? Has Paul gone mad as Festus said?
​

At least you agree on one thing: Paul talks about his self righteousness.

That is the point!

His self righteousness was a perfect obedience to the 613 mitzvah of the whole Torah, he claimed his obedience was blameless. That is the point.
​

Jesus took care of this in Mat 19 with the rich young man. It proves that no one is righteous by the law. Ps 14:3, 53:3, Isa 64:6 and Romans 3:23 all show this as well. There is another reerence I'll be adding to the collection as soon as it come back to me when I'm not being distracted with something else. (Quote).

I see you still didn't get the important point what the Scripture want to tell his readers.

The Scripture told us that self righteousness of Saul is a perfect obedience to the law, blameless. This is to refute the idea that no man can keep the law of God, in fact Saul did, and so many others. But self righteousness is not a righteousness at all before God, maybe before man, yes.

So, if Saul can keep the 613 laws of the Torah and claimed himself blameless, how much more if he must keep only Ten Commandments, it's peanuts, right.

The point is without Christ, law keeping is self righteousness, no one can be justified for this. But with faith in Christ, law keeping is not self righteousness, it is fulfilling Christ own command: If you love me, keep my commandments.

Saul didn't believe in Christ, but Paul the apostle does. So, his law keeping is not self righteousness.

Now, with faith in Christ, he kept the law of God, His Ten Commandments, he admit he is under the law's jurisdiction and taught the same to his readers. Why should he nullify a law that he could keep perfectly by his own strength if faith is not necessary, moreover if faith make it perfect? If he could keep the whole 613 law, then 10 Cs is peanut.

Therefore, nullify and made void the law because of faith was not in Paul mind and appears in his teaching, on the contrary he established the law, an agreement of the continuation of the jurisdiction of the Ten Cs over Christians.

What Jesus said in Matthew 19 was a rebuke to the young man that although he kept the whole Ten Cs, but not acceptable, for it was without love, purely self righteousness. Here, Christ didn't give the slightest indication that keeping the Ten Cs is a bad thing.

What all the text you quoted Ps 14:3, 53:3, Isa 64:6 and Romans 3:23, shows only the fact that nothing from our own is good enough before God, because we are carnal, carnally minded is enmity against God, and that is the nature of man, for all men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

The only thing that can make something precious before God, that He can accept, if what you did come from faith, because whatever is not of faith is sin.

Thus, keeping the law of the Ten Cs which Paul did, is obedience of faith, is love that bore deeds of obedience to the law, which fulfill the holy righteous demands of the law. This, Christians should follow, and not denying it.

All of you could think was based on a misconception and misinterpretation of the teaching of Paul.

Romans 3:20 - Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Galatians 2:16 - knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Which one is true?

Both are true!

One is saying that self righteousness brought no justification, on the contrary only shows the sin in us, for men is carnal but the law is spiritual (Rom. 7:14). Carnal mind is enmity against God and not subject to the law of God (Rom. 8:7), so, self righteousness is based on self effort, based on the flesh; it could never fulfill the righteous demands of the law, which is the unselfish love spirit. The only way men might be justified before God, is by faith in Jesus Christ.

The other one plainly says, law doers are those who keep the law, they will be justified and not the hearers of the law, which are so many including those who reject His law, who is against His law. How the way they would be justified is not clarified here, but only a mere confirmation that the law doers will be justified. To find out how they might be justified is by looking at other place of the Scripture.

Because this will be talking OOT, about justification, I will say shortly, that initial justification in the path of Christian walk is when he came first to Christ for salvation and accept Him as his personal Savior and Redeemer. Christ imputed his righteousness towards this man, and the sins of this man was shifted to Him, this man now stand before God as he is righteous, in fact he wasn’t, he has none of righteousness whatsoever in him, he is a sinner, forgiven and justified for his faith. But life goes on, reborn as a baby in Christian faith, now he must walk as a Christian, withholding his faith to the end, and a walk in Christian life by faith is a walk after the Spirit, where the Spirit shed the love of God in his heart, and by this love he is able to fulfill the law demands through obedience “If you love me, keep My commandments” Jesus said. The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in him (Romans 8:4), the law of God successfully written in his heart and put in his mind, “I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8.

The end of his Christian walk is in Christ, the end of his walking in the law of God is Christ, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4.

By faith he kept walking in the law of God, fulfilling it demands, and be justified, he is a doer of the law.

Initial justification by faith to a sinner (law breaker); final justification by faith to a law doer. You could have the 1st without the last, but you wouldn’t have the last without the 1st. and having only the 1st is having none at all.

And only the law doers have the right to enter the gate of heaven and eat the fruit of life, no one else.
​

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. (Quote).

This verse doesn't contradict my view as I had presented above.

Verse 19 tell us, those who are under the law are those who break the law. Who are the law breakers? Carnal men. And since our nature is carnal, we are all law breakers, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Verse 20 tell us, as a presented above and repeat here shortly, self righteousness could not be justified. Except the righteousness of faith, obedience to the law based on faith, on love to Christ.

What Paul intent to say here in v. 19,20 is as what I had presented here. He was not promoting that the law is evil (The law is holy, good and just), or promoting to annul the law (v. 31 he established the law), but was teaching his readers that SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS could not be justified.

There is a law abolished, which contained in ordinances, and there is a law established, means exalted, up hold and glorified, means the author admit the authority and jurisdiction of the law remains for him, despite his new faith in Christ as a Jew.

The law abolished: Ceremonial law, no longer Christ believers need to offer lambs and goat for the forgiveness of sin.

The law established: The Ten Commandments, the law of God contains His great principle of unselfish love that reveals the sin in selfish men, and brought the whole world under condemnation so they might seek help in Christ for salvation and freedom from the dominion of sins.​

Please tell us what part of the covenant law Jeremiah said was going to be replaced. Jeremiah very specifically states that -

• God would make - cut
• - new as in not previous
• covenant the what
• not like - compared to something
• the one made with their fathers - identified

So I ask again how it can be the same covenant? Jeremiah says nothing about moving the covenant. In v 33 he quotes God saying My law and not the covenant law spoken of in the frist 2/3 of the sentence. If it was just movement God would still be confronted with the violations of that law called sin. (QUOTE).

I don't understand your question, if it is to refute my view, you must be more specific.

I think I have presented many time here clearly regarding Jer. 31:31-34. I will repeat my view on Jer. 31:31-34, and if you want to refute, be it clear to state.

31 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD,
“when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to[d] them,[e]”
declares the LORD.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the LORD.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the LORD.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”

This covenant was said for us, Christ believers.
The most important from this covenant of God recorded by Jeremiah is: God will write His law on our heart and put it in our minds.

By nature we are carnal, and carnal mind is enmity against God. By writing His law on our heart and out it in our minds, God would do a transformation, taking away the carnal mind in change with the mind of Christ, thus, this man now is subject to the law of God, unlike the carnal mind, which is not subject to the law of God (Romans 8:7).
Mark 7:21 - For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,

Bringing this believer into subjection with His law, this man will do what the law demands and fulfill it righteousness, therefore God said that the law would be written in his heart and put in his mind in order he might comply to the righteous demands of the law. No longer evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, etc.

This New Covenant is not like the one made with the ancestor of Israel.
The New Covenant was based on a better promise, the promise of God, the Old Covenant to their ancestor was based on human promise, and they failed to keep the commandments of God, they broke this covenant.

The basic of each covenant is the same and will always be the same: PERFECT OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW OF GOD.

So, find your answer your self in my reply, for i don't understand your questions.

 

[Arthur57]

Originally from Children of God.

Look at the final book of God’s word and see the end time fulfillment of God’s promise to those who choose truth over the counterfeit here in Rev 12:17;

· 17Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

So God’s word says that those who keep the commandments are the same people who hold to the testimony of Jesus. They believe the words and teachings of Christ. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Even to the end, His teaching remains the same as they were when He taught Adam, Abel, Noah, Enoch, and yes Abraham. Once more, read how the word of God describes those who demonstrate their love toward God in Rev 14:12;

· 12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

And again here in Rev 22:14;

· 14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

Now, we know that God established a Kingdom that is ruled by His government. This government oversees the regulation of the system by which all who are members of God’s family must live by. There are two primary laws of His Kingdom that regulate His system of love. To put this in a very basic form we can look at it this way. God’s plan is to eventually call every person who has ever been born to His truth. His plan involves giving every one an opportunity to become members of His Kingdom. No, I’m sorry, but all of the cleaver twisting, distorting, and manipulating of the words in scripture can’t change the final outcome of the truth of God. His Covenant with mankind will result in the completion of His plan and usher in His Kingdom on this earth just as His word tells us.(QUOTE).

Very well stated.

Law keepers are justified and glorified by God himself, but surely be the target of rage and hate of the devil.

Rev. 12:17 - another solid proof for the law keepers, but a bitter fact for the anti law people.

No man can keep the law perfectly. Man will sin till the day he dies. But thats where grace comes in. I do however agree that Christs law written in the NT is the law and must be obeyed.

I still ask where the law is taught in the NT. Teaching from the law isn't teaching compliance to the law by any means.(Quote).

If Paul teach from the law, is it just for hearing it? Very clear he said: Not the hearers of the law will be justified, but the doers of the law will be justified - Romans 2:13.

When Paul said about the law that raise the knowledge of sin in him is "Do not covet" (Romans 7:7-14), was he talking of what law? The true student of Christ knew, Paul was talking of the Ten Cs. If James knew that the whole Ten Cs is binding (James 2:10), what make you think Paul don't know this?

Paul, James, Peter, John, taught us to keep the law of the Ten Cs in the NT.

Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

You're right we are all guilty of breaking the whole law and thats why our faith is in Christ alone. But commandments are Gods will and He is our judge. Do i have faith? Yes so i like Abraham listen but at the same time depend on Christ. When im weak He is strong. Thats faith. Who has no sin even after Christ saves them? No one is sinless, our sin remains but will be blotted out. God is our Judge, He knows our heart. What can we hide from Him? He knows our sin better than we do. Let God be true and every man a liar.

 

[11822]

Whatever is not of faith is sin. The Lord and His apostles tell us what faith allows in the written word of NT.

Thus if not obeying the 4th commandment is a violation one is unrighteous and can't have eternal life. But for this to be so the law has to have jurisdiction. It simply doesn't according to Jesus testimony recorded in 3 Gospels. Where does our righteousness come from? The law? Nope and per Jesus the righteousness that comes from the law won't qualify one for eternal life - Mat 5:20. This is also acknowledged by the rich young man of Mat 19. It comes only as a gift from God (Rom 6:23) courtesy of Jesus. And it can't be maintained by any other source - Gal 3:1-3. The part that makes this out of context is the definition - no rather the identification of commandment(s) spoken about. The idea that any time the word commandment(s) appears means the 10 Cs is a mistaken meaning demanded by a religion. I have illustrated this with John 15:10 and shown what the commandment of God is with I John 3:23. The same author wrote all the material cited including Revelation. The authors focus is primarily Jesus in relationship with God or to God. There is no demand to follow the OC in the NT/NC. Acts 15 makes a very strong statement to that fact. That statement doesn't come from Paul either. Therefore one can't say that Paul is teaching something contrary or detrimental to Christianity or a proper relationship with God. The 10 Cs aren't eternal as far as jurisdiction is concerned per Jer 31:31-34. To say that the law specifically the 10 Cs is God's all inclusive law is error. We have a problem with an exact replica of the tabernacle being in heaven IHMO.(QUOTE)

I don’t know your illustration about the commandment of God, but this is mine:

John 14:15 - If you love me, keep my commands.

John 15:10: If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

1 John 3:23.
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

Is love the commandment Jesus has in mind? Yes.

How should we show our love to God and to our neighbor?

Since the Ten Commandments is summarized in these two commands: Love God and Love your neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40), then, to show our love is BY DOING WHAT IS WRITTEN. Simple as that, twisting around on this simple truth will lead people further away from the true Gospel of Christ.


The commandment of God is the Ten Commandment which contains His great principle of unselfish love. No man can have love without doing what the letter says. If a man believe the letter was nailed at the cross, then he don’t know at all what love is. And if he thinks The Spirit will shed LOVE without him knowing what love is because he discard the law that tells him what love is, then he really needs a lot of Grace to guide his heart and mind.

What do you call those who says they didn't need the Ten Cs but admit that without the Ten Cs they doesn’t know how to perform what love is?

Paul was not a Hypocrite, he admits that the law reveals the sin in him; he admits that the law will always be a tutor to bring some one to Christ to be justified by faith. he admits that he keep the law, he admits that love to your neighbor fulfill the six commands on the 2nd stone tablets.

Is it hard to be the same as he was? To accept His teaching without restrain?

Why should Paul the apostle taught about the law if not to clarify self righteousness against obedience of faith.



And what is obedience of faith, if not keeping the law, which law? The Ten Cs.

Jeremiah 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

Jeremiah 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

The New Covenant is God's promise to give free blessing to men through Jesus Christ. It was given to the nation Israel (Jeremiah 31:1-34), but Christians also share in the spiritual aspects of the New covenant through Christ (Hebrews 8:7-13). The New covenant with Israel promises that God will restore them to their promised land and give them a new heart to obey Him. This will happen when Jesus returns from Heaven (Romans 11:25-27; Zechariah 13).

The epistle to the Hebrews refers to the New Covenant to show that the Mosaic system was only temporary and that even the Old Testament promised that one day it would be abolished and replaced by another covenant. The writer of Hebrews indicates that every New Testament believer partakes of the spiritual blessings of the New Covenant through Christ, but nowhere does he say that this covenant has been transferred from national Israel to the church.

Way of Life Encyclopedia of the Bible: Covenant

The New Covenant is God promise to write the law in a believer heart and put it in their mind.

What is His intention?

That carnally natured people, once become a believer might be transformed by the Spirit (Ezekiel 36:26,27; Titus 2:11,12) to brought them into subjection with the law of God, because carnal minded people is not subject to the law of God (Romans 8:7).

When he lived by his carnal mind, he was not subject to the law of God, he was in enmity against God. This means there is a law, which he was against, and need to be subjected, in order he might live. His deeds were against this law, means he break not only the letter of the law but also the great principle of unselfish love.

God promise to bring this people into subjection with his law once they believe in Christ, by writing the law on their heart and put it in their minds, which of course is not a literal act, but a saying that they will obey the law now and fulfill it demands, as their heart and mine now are of Christ, no longer carnal. They are no longer God enemies, but God’s children.

For there is a law that stands forever to be God’s standard of righteousness, the Ten Cs, to bring knowledge of sin to mankind.

John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

What is the "commandment" Jesus told us to do in verse 14? Go back to verse 12:
"That ye love one another, as I have loved you."

Now, it's YOUR turn to listen!.

And LOVE is described in the Ten Cs. Without the Ten Cs there is no love, and no one new what love is. Are they smarter than God?

The Ten Cs summarized in the 2 great commands, love God and love your neighbor, for this Ten Cs has the great principle of unselfish love, this law described God's character, what he wants from man concerning their morality. If you love God, keep His Ten Commandments, that is the meaning of the verses you quoted.

Speaking of love, but denying the Ten Cs and rejecting it, is the same as speaking I have the spirit but not the body.

 

[Elder 111]

Is divorce one of the 10 Cs? No! Is thou salt not covet one of the 10 Cs? Yes! In Romans 7 Paul calls both the law. He uses the phrase all the law in Gal 3:10. James says the whole law and then illustrates with the 10 Cs. But in the previous verse says if you have respect to persons you violate the law which isn't in the 10 Cs. As both state there is no seperation of the law into aspects. It is a single undivisible unit.

It is amazing how we neglect simple language when we come to the bible. Even today we used the term law in the same manner. When we speak of the law in our day does it refer to any one specific law? Is not all laws referred to as "the law of the land." Are all the laws one package? Are the traffic laws a part of banking law? Don't we refer to all as "the law" regardless of which we refer to? We understand to which we speak of the context, don't we? Why is the same principle ignored with scripture? All is law but each has they specific sphere. The bible does not teach that all it"laws" are inseparable, that it is one package regardless. Not at all.

What does Jesus say? Look at Mat 22:36-40 -Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38This is the first and great commandment.
39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

The first thing I see is Jesus is ask about the law and not the 10 Cs. Is the law of Moses exalted above the 10 Cs? I doubt that God (Jesus) would do such a thing. Thus I believe the so called law of Moses seperated law from the 10 Cs is false. It is all the law of God and not a man. It is recorded that God said unto Moses and that God showed Moses what to write and told him to do so.

The second thing I see is Jesus doesn't quote a single one of the 10 Cs. I wonder why the law of Moses (cough, cough) exceeds the law of God (again cough, cough). And this statement is by God (Jesus) no less.

What is your aim? To come to a full knowledge of the truth or to demonstrate whit? Are you telling me that to have one God only ( the first of the 10C) is the same as circumcision? Not telling lies or stealing is equated with the passover? That written by God himself is the same as the civil laws?

Third thing I see is that whoever asked the question, Jesus or both see all the law as a unit..

So Jesus died for us not keeping the Festival of tents and the passover? Those are sins too?

 

[Children of God]

I keep seeing in this debate about the commandments listed in the "New Testament".........and it is implied that these are the only ones required.......so what are we to do with these...
Exodus 20:1-7;

1 And God spoke all these words: 2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 "You shall have no other gods before me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

These are not listed.........so no we not have to worship only the one God.........are we now allowed to make images of animals and call them our Gods..........can we take God's name and then life our lives in any manner WE chose.......

You can't have it both ways by picking and choosing which commands are to be Kept.........either they are all to be kept.....or none.....

Clearly....all ten of Gods commandments are designed to regulate mankind evil heart....to serve as guidelines of moral conduct and the development of righteous character....just as King Solomon teaches us in Ecclesiastes 12:13;

13The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man

 

[Stryder06]

It would seem to me that this phobia of the law existing comes from a fear that no one could be saved since no one can keep the law.
