1 Co 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
And neither did Paul.The opposite happened in Galatia because Jews were going behind Paul and teaching circumcision for salvation, they were not teaching faith, love and holiness by the 10 commandments.
When Paul say the law in Galatians he is referring to all the law - 3:10 - For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.If Paul mentions moses law in Galations he cant be talking about all of moses law because love thy neighbor is in moses law also. Does paul mention the 10 Cs? I only remember circumcision being mentioned.
Who is acting that way? Did some grace pusher say that?It seems demanded that we do learn the law of faith, love and Holiness and apply it with our heart. Why act as if the laws of love and holiness are bad? Paul teaches them multiple times the same as he does faith.
You're getting sleepy... send all tithes and offerings to......
Oh wait... wrong law. Nevermind.

Try to see the law as negative restraint, negative goodness. Control is just is that, control, but the one who thinks he is controlling, is indeed actually being controlled.
I don't suppose you would mind showing how these verses pertain to my question?Act 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Ro 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good
Ro 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Ro 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Ro 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself
Ro 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
Naw, not me I busted up all my cute glass piggy banks 20 years ago because someone accused me of having idols in my house. Oh wait Mom gave me a glass eagle. bet that thing is covered with an inch of dust. Guess I should take better care of my idols. huh?Hi Guys.
I was curious, are any of you guys setting up household idols?
Personally, I can't be bothered with them, but one here on the thread, might think we are.
I did not commit adultery today, or steal, I am good.
