These of course are your words. I prefer what God's Word says and Gods' Word does not teach lawlessness. We do not love God or our fellow man by breaking Gods law according to Jesus in Matthew 22:36-40; Paul in Romans 13:8-10; James in James 2:8-12 and John in 1 John 5:2-3. Therefore as the scriptures teach love is expressed in obedience to God's law it is not expressed in disobedience to breaking Gods' law...

1 John 5:2-4 [2], BY THIS WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN WE LOVE GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.[3], FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS.

Gods' Word does not teach lawlessness (without law)

Take Care dear friend.



His commandment is the law of Christ, the law of the Jews is not the law of Christ..




Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

The letter kills, teaching letter kills faith...


2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.



His commandment is compassion for other, not for ourselves, sabbath serves us, but benefits nobody in need..



1 John 3:Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.





Not as the Jews in the law without love and mercy of God..


Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.


Luke 11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

No one has the Spirit of the law by breaking the letter of the law as the Spirit is the Spirit of the Word of God that works through the Word of God as we believe and follow what Gods' Word says (John 6:63).

Do you think God guides us to do the opposite of what His Word says?
No. But he may guide us to do something different from our current personal interpretation of his word.

You're probably aware that at the time when the church was moving the primary day of worship from the seventh day to the first day that the Canon of scripture
(the list of books that we call the Bible)
was not closed. The church was still deciding which books were scripture and which ones weren't.

If they were not guided by God in any way, or if they were deceived by Satan, why would we trust the Canon of scripture they arrived at?

No one has the Spirit of the law by breaking the letter of the law as the Spirit is the Spirit of the Word of God that works through the Word of God as we believe and follow what Gods' Word says (John 6:63).



The letter of the law is the Spirit killed, the ones who keep it and teach it, how do they believe in the faith of the risen Lord..



Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

According to the scripture God's commandment is to love God with all of our soul mind and heart and our neighbor as our self. Jesus says on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets in Matthew 22:36-40 which Jesus is quoting from Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. Paul agrees with Jesus that love is expressed in obedience to God's law not by breaking God's law in Romans 13:8-10. James agrees with Jesus and Paul in James 2:8-12 when he says if we break anyone of God's 10 commandments that are our duty of love to our fellow man we are not loving our neighbor as our self while John also agrees with Jesus, Paul and James in 1 John 2:3-4 when he defines loving God as keeping Gods commandments and continues elsewhere...

2 John 1:6 AND THIS IS LOVE THAT WE WALK AFTER HIS COMMANDMENTS. THIS IS THE COMMANDMENT, THAT, AS YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, YOU SHOULD WALK IN IT.

Lawlessness is to keep the law, as it is faithlessness and what is not of faith is sin, as they keep law, and break law and sin.


Through faith in Christ, you believe in His love to lay His life down for the world, and not selfish law keeping, without love and the mercy of God.

Christ is not the end of the law so that we are now free to break Gods' law. Gods Word does not teach lawlessness (without law) The law is our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ that we might be forgiven through faith *Galatians 3:22-25. Therefore it teaches us that we are all sinners standing guilty before God of condemnation and death. Christ therefore is the "end of the law" because this is where the law leads us so that we can be forgiven through faith.

Galatians 3:22-25 [22], But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. [23], But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. [24], Why the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25], But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Love edifies, knowledge edifies nothing, sabbath keeping is good for you, but for others, Jesus laying His life down for them brought life to believe in and follow that faith.


1 Corinthians 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

Christ is the end of the law, as the law is not of faith, and now through faith, which works by love, we love others easing their burdens, and then cannot do evil at the same time as doing good.

We are as without law, not without law to God, but under the law to Christ, ( not to your man made and teaching laws)


1 Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

As posted earlier love is expressed in obedience to Gods law as we believe and follow what God's Word says. Jesus did not free us from the penalty of the law so that we are now free to break God's Law. Those who are born again to walk in the Spirit of God do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh *Galatians 5:16. Those who are born again do not practice sin because His seed remain in them and they cannot sin because they are born of God. Jesus says unless a man is born again he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven (John 3:3-7)...

1 John 3:4-9 [4], Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. [5], And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. [6], Whoever ABIDES IN HIM (the Word) SINS NOT: WHOEVER SINS HAS NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWN HIM [7], Little children, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS, IS [8], HE THAT COMMITS (practices) SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. [9], WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOES NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINS IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD (the Word).

Lawlessness is teaching law, as the law is not of faith.


What is not of faith is sin, to keep law and break law, is the transgression of the law.


To bear burdens for others, is the love of God, to lay our life down is greater than keeping our life for sabbath keeping and eating rituals.

Repetition not responsive to the post you are quoting from and the scriptures that disagree with your teachings of lawlessness (without law).

When you walk in love, you do not keep what is not of FAITH ( LAW AND LAW BREAKING) YOU KEEP THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, WHICH IS, WHEN YOU LAY YOUR LIFE DOWN FOR OTHERS, YOU CANT KEEP IT FOR SELF SEEKING FOR YOURSELF.
As shown from the scriptures in the posts already shared with you from the very words of Jesus in Matthew 22:36-40 who is quoting from Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18; Paul in Romans 13:8-10; James in James 2:8-12; John in 1 John 2:3-4; love is expressed in obedience to Gods' law. Love is not expressed in disobedience to breaking God's law and not believing and following what Gods Word says, because as Jesus says on these two great commandments of love to God and man hang all the law and the prophets *Matthew 22:36-40.

Yes you were and are answered, Israel is example of wisdom and knowledge, but is also example of faith in their own righteousness and their own wisdom.


But the wisdom of God is to take the fools and to confound the wise through them.



The law and thew prophets are nothing without Christ laying His life down, sabbath keeping, was not how Jesus fulfilled that.

Law is lawlessness, as it is not of faith, and what is not of faith is sin, which is being of the law, and being breakers of same.


Faith, is not without law to God, as it is under the law to Christ, and when you through love do for others, you do not do for yourself.

is sabbath for others in trouble, or serving your own needs, you don't need to ever answer?

Once again this is non responsive to the post and the scriptures you are quoting from that disagree with you.
Yes you were and are answered, Israel is example of wisdom and knowledge, but is also example of faith in their own righteousness and their own wisdom.
Indeed but your words are not Gods Words and the scriptures shared with you that disagree with your words are not my words but Gods' Word. According to the scriptures only God's Word is true and we should believe and follow them *Romans 3:4; Acts of the Apostles 5:29.
But the wisdom of God is to take the fools and to confound the wise through them.
Indeed this has been shown by example to you in this OP in the scriptures shared with you that disagree with your teachings.
The law and thew prophets are nothing without Christ laying His life down, sabbath keeping, was not how Jesus fulfilled that.
No one said that the law and the prophets are something without Christ. Jesus obeyed fulfilled all of God's laws including God's 4th commandment "seventh day" Sabbath which was His custom to do so *Luke 4:16. Jesus did not fulfill the law so that we no longer have to. Gods' Word does not teach lawlessness (without law)
