Galatians

[Johnnz]

That's just your interpretation. Unless The Bible clearly says "We shall not follow these commandments anymore despite God (who never changes His mind) commanding that we remember these forever."

Here we are
Rom 7:1 Do you not know, brothers — for I am speaking to men who know the law — that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
Rom 7:2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
Rom 7:4 4 So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
Rom 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Rom 10:4 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Gal 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."
Gal 3:24-25 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
Eph 2:15-16 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility
Heb 7:12 For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.

Good stuff John! Since we were predestined by God to be adopted into God's family at creation that means we were in Christ when He was crucified, therefore we were crucified with Christ, and we died with Christ when He died, and when Christ was raised from the dead, WE were raised from the dead. So as quoted in your post above the law is only binding on the living, not on the dead.

Proverbs 16:25
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Pray God, where do you see that nonsense in the Bible?

To love.

Actually, there are 613 Laws in the OT, but there are almost 1100 in the NT according to the Masionic Jews.



When Paul wrote this, he gave us great freedom! This is good news!

Imagine if all you ever did was try and keep the law. Some people (myself included) would be so preoccupied with trying to do things right that I would not be able to do God's work. When Paul wrote this letter he was saying not to be so taken with trying to obey the Law. Paul himself persecuted people for not obeying the law, but God changed him. Paul is simply sharing his knowledge with that church of Galatia (and in turn, the world.)

If anyone was taught by God about the Law, it was surely Paul.



With Love,

To have only one question in an open-book test is the hardest kind of test.

To love, is in a similar situation.

A law, no matter how tough, it has a guideline to follow. But to love, boy, it is hard.

The one-question-open-book test may be a heaven to some people, but it may also be a hell to some others.

Copy from my posting: "Since we were predestined by God to be adopted into God's family at creation that means we were in Christ when He was crucified, therefore we were crucified with Christ, and we died with Christ when He died, and when Christ was raised from the dead, WE were raised from the dead. So as quoted in your post above the law is only binding on the living, not on the dead." To which Elder commented "Pray God, where do you see that nonsense in the Bible?

By "nonsense" I assume you mean the following:

1. We were "predestined to be adopted into God's family." Eph 1:5 "He [God] predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will." You may be a "predestination hater" but it is a solid scriptural doctrine, mentioned in five other passages, Rom 8:29, Rom 8:30, Rom 11:2, Eph 1:4, and Eph 1:11.

2. We were "in Christ when Christ was crucified." Gal 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Did Paul physically hang on the cross along side Christ? No, but he did spiritually as did we because we were in Christ before time began. 2 Tim 1:9 "It is God who saved us and chose us to live a holy life. He did this not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan long before the world began--to show his love and kindness to us through Christ Jesus."

3. "When Christ died, we also died and when He was raised we also were raised." Roman 6:8 "Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him." Romans 7:4 "Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God." 2 Cor 5:14-15 "For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." Col 3:3 "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." 1 Cor 12:27 "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. We are Christ's body. How could Christ die without His body also dieing at the same time?

4. When Christ was raised from the dead we were raised from the dead. 2 Cor 4:14 "Knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence." Again, if we are Christ's body, (and we are) how could Christ be raised without His body also being raised at the same time. It is obvious that He was raised bodily as the only thing left behind in the tomb was his grave cloths.

If you are like most you will blow off these passages and explanations and continue living in denial.

[Hammster]

The 613 commands are Moses' commands not God's commands. When Jesus was asked "what are the most important commandments?" He replied with two commandments from the 10 that God gave to Moses. Obviously He expects us to obey them along with the rest. So it's actually 8 and quite likely, when Jesus gave the 6 - He was simply quoting these first few to make them remember the rest and He acknowledges that they did and as shown there, He tell us to know them because they are important.


So know The Bible and next time do your research please.

So which two of the Ten Commandments did Jesus give?

So which two of the Ten Commandments did Jesus give?

I think brother LifeInJesus is in for a shocker when he discovers that the two commandments that Jesus spoke of and he is so [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] sure are found in The Ten Commandments are NOT found in The Ten Commandments, but instead are found in his disdained "commands of Moses." Perhaps he should follow his own advice and "know The Bible and next time do your research please."

Matt 22:37-39 "And he [Jesus] said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind....And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Deut 6:5 "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."

Lev 19:18 "'You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD."

I remain,
