Would you please explain how the law is love? I don't find any Scripture saying or implying that.

Would you please explain how the law is love? I don't find any Scripture saying or implying that.The law is love. Why would you say that it isn't. What about the law itself is not loving?
No there isn't any thing thathat can supercede the love of God. God is free to supercede anything He does and no one you can stop HIm. One can refuse a free gift though.
I really wish you would take an honest look at Jer 31:31-34 for starters. I think that one should also consider Hebrews 8 very closely.
It also woulld be beneficial to consider Mat 26:28,MK 14:24,and LK 22:20.
I would like to see a verse showing this idea in some form. I think that God said that He would dwell in the Tabernacel and not men in the OT. This is another major difference in the NC.A) What does the temple have to do with loving God
B) The body has always been the temple of God.
The temple was God's meeting place with the people corporately. And the scriptures tell us not to forsake the gathering together of ourselves, so it's not like we're not still suppose to come together to worship.
I think that is a true and correct statement made as a question.So God didn't treat man the same since Yeshua's visit?

Today, maybe next month, maybe end of time because there would be many unbelievers till that day.
Picking up both to justify your believe that it is both ways, is a mixed and confused believe.
The law was nailed to the cross when Christ was. But one must be in Christ. We see that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ are none of His. So therefore they will be judged by their works. And we all know that works will not save a man.

No. One is convicted of sin and not condemned by the leading of the Spirit and not the law as a Christian - Romans 8:1-4, Gal 5:18-21.But that walk after the Spirit doesn't make you perfect and sinless as what you believe, right? This means, you keep sinning from time to time, and thus coming back again under condemnation of the law, for if you admit you did sin, you admitted there is a law you break.

I Tim 1:9-10. And for the believer only was the law nailed to the cross. Only the beleiver has accessed the grace and gift of God. The believer has passed from death to life - Jn 5:24. This shows that the believer won't appear at the white throne judgement for condemnation and punishment of being banned from the presence of God.
Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Romans 8:2
Verse 2. For the law. The word law here means that rule, command, or influence which "the Spirit of life" produces. That exerts a control which is here called a law, for a law often means anything by which we are ruled or governed. Cmt. on Ro 7:21, Cmt. on Ro 7:23.
Of the Spirit. I see no reason to doubt here that this refers to the Holy Spirit. Evidently, at the close of Ro 8:1, the word has this reference. The phrase "the Spirit of life" then means the Holy Spirit producing or giving life; i.e. giving peace, joy, activity, salvation; in opposition to the law, spoken of in chapter 7, that produced death and condemnation.
In Christ Jesus. Under the Christian religion: or sent by Christ to apply his work to men, Joh 16:7-14. The Spirit is sent by Christ; his influence is a part of the Christian scheme; and his power accomplishes that which the law could not do.
Hath made me free. That is, has delivered me from the predominating influence and control of sin. He cannot mean that he was perfect, for the whole tenor of his reasoning is opposed to that. But the design, the tendency, and the spirit of the gospel was to produce this freedom from what the law could not deliver; and he was now brought under the general power of this scheme. In the former state he was under a most bitter and galling bondage, Ro 7:7-11. Now he was brought under the influence of a scheme which contemplated freedom, and which produced it.
The law of sin and death. The controlling influence of sin, leading to death and condemnation, Ro 7:5-11.
*********
The "law of sin and death" is definitely NOT the carnal mind.
Did you mean, now you take a position that the law ended when faith came to you? I think you are promoting with many others here, the law was nailed to the cross?
Anyway, you now believe that the law ends in its jurisdiction, when faith came. OK, next week I hope you believe the law ended when you got your righteousness, for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one who believe.
For what you get now is justification only, as you admit that you are still sinner justified by faith.
Would you please explain how the law is love? I don't find any Scripture saying or implying that.
If one can be a doer of the law there is no need of redemption or even sacrifice for sin. Arthur57 stated in the previous thread twice that we'll stand before God in our righteousness and not that of righteousness of Jesus. No substituting. The real deal is that we're not. God gave us His righteousness and therfore it is ours. But note that righteousness didn't come by the law, it came by imputation/declaration as a gift only - Rom 4:1-9, 6:23.That is NOT sinless perfection! If we all were sinlessly perfect, then the Christian would never die. Ever think about that? Do you ever get sick? The ENTIRE creation is under the curse of sin, like it or not.
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Romans 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Why does the body need "redemption" if it becomes "sinless" when a person is saved?
We will have sin in us until we are transformed. The law has no power over me at all. For I am not obligated to the law. I am blood bought and Spirit filled. Therefore is I sin I am not under the condemnation of the law because I was never under the law to begin with. For anything done without faith is sin. To do good and not do it is sin. To even be angry at my brother is sin. For if we walk in the fruit of the Spirit there is no law. Woo HOOO thank you Jesus..But that walk after the Spirit doesn't make you perfect and sinless as what you believe, right? This means, you keep sinning from time to time, and thus coming back again under condemnation of the law, for if you admit you did sin, you admitted there is a law you break.
I think that in Romans 7 Paul points out both the flesh and the spirit are at war with each other. I identify with Paul's statement in verses 24 and 25.
Okay so Love God and neighbor. Now how do you explain how to love? Can you love as God commands all by yourself by an act of your will?Love the Lord thy God
Love thy neighbor as thyself
I think you misunderstand me when I say the law is love. You may not follow me on this but that's to be expected.
Scripture says all good things come from above (God). Scripture also tells us that God is love. So since God is love, and all good things come from above, I thus believe that the law, given by God, was given out of love, thus the law equaling love.
Does scripture call the law evil or something along those lines?
I would like to see a verse showing this idea in some form. I think that God said that He would dwell in the Tabernacel and not men in the OT. This is another major difference in the NC.
Good question because man's nature is rebellion.Okay so Love God and neighbor. Now how do you explain how to love? Can you love as God commands all by yourself by an act of your will?
