If you Love Me - KEEP My Commandments

[W2L]

See bob, the law of Christ is Gods law


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.”

 

[BobRyan]

Paul said when he was with those under the law, he was under the law as well, but when he was with those not under the law he was not under the law as well, and so he was all things to all men. However he was not ever without the law of Christ. The law of God is the law of Christ. Its not about OT Sabbaths but is about what the apostles command us.

The Apostles claim the OT is scripture and the "Word of God" just as Christ said in Mark 7:6-13.

The Apostles say that the 5th Commandment is the "first commandment with a promise" - in that still valid unit of TEN - the TEN Commandments Eph 6:2

The Apostles say that the "saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12.

The Apostles say that even in the NT - "Sin IS transgression of the LAW" 1 John 3:4

The Apostles say that "if WE (apostles) or an angel from heaven should preach to you a different gospel - let him be accursed" Gal 1:6-9

The Apostles say that we are to listen to Jesus and follow what He teaches.

JESUS said that the OT is the "Word of God" -- the "Commandment of God" Mark 7:6-13.

See bob, the law of Christ is Gods law
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.”

And Christ said that the OT Ten Commandments are the "Word of God" and the "Commandments of God" Mark 7:6-13 which NT church members were condemned for breaking.

Christ also said that He gave not a single word of His OWN - but only as the Father speaks.

Thus Ex 20:6 "Love Me and KEEP My Commandments"
is quoted by Christ "If you Love Me KEEP My Commandments" John 14:15 -- before the cross.

 

[BobRyan]

I am just an ignorant man, struggling to get through this life, so please accept my humble opinion as just that, humble.

I do not know everything, I will not tell anyone to obey or disobey anything. I will instead follow Romans 14 as best I can. Its all I can do.

Its my humble opinion that Gods commands are not always easy, but this doesn't mean they are burdensome. Look at what Paul says in Romans. He says that in his mind he desires to do what is right, (and this shows that its not a burden to him because he desires to do what is right), howsoever he also says that he doesn't always do what he desires to do. "Woe is him! Who will save this wretched man?"

We see from pauls words, that to him, failing to keep Gods commands is more of a burden than to keep them. Keeping Gods commands would give him gerat joy I think. Its the failing part that burdens him.

Now, lets consider this. Why would we want to add to that burden, by adding more commands than is needed? Its not a burden to keep them but to fail! So then, lets consider romans 14 now. The kingdom is about peace, righteousness and joy in the spirit. If a man is living a moral life, free from lust and lies, and he is walking in love which fulfills the law, why then do we want to add to his burden by adding more things to him? Its not a burden to keep but to fail. God has given us liberty from the law, hasn't he? No one in their right mind would disagree with doing what is just and good, or with love, so why add the Sabbath to them? THe argument and division caused by this topic alone is burdensome isn't it? Who likes to argue all day? Isnt peace and joy in the spirit better?

Romans 3: 19-21 says that God's LAW defines what sin is - and condemns the entire world as sinners.

19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. Rom 3:19-20

"Sin IS transgression of the Law" 1 John 3:4

And that same chapter says by our faith we "establish the LAW"

Rom 3:31 " Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law."

1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God"
Ephesians 6:2 - the 5th Commandment "is the FIRST commandment with a promise" in that still-valid unit of TEN.

The law has been nullified though.

That Bible says --

Rom 3:31 " Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law."

1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God"

But you say -- the exact opposite.

The law has been nullified though.

We don't live under OT penalties of death. We don't circumcise the flesh either.

Heb 10 says the sacrifices and offerings ceased.

And of course the civil penalties cease when theocracy they were ordained within - ceased.

 

[W2L]

And Christ said that the OT Ten Commandments are the "Word of God" and the "Commandments of God" Mark 7:6-13 which NT church members were condemned for breaking.

Actually bob you are taking everything out of context. The sooner you see and admit it the sooner you will have my uttermost respect brother. It takes a lot to admit you're wrong but when a person does it commands respect.

Your assertion, which says that Christ only spoke the previous words of God, this isn't a proper interpretation of scripture. The Lord spoke only what the father told him to speak, but that's not exclusive to only things that were previously spoken by God. Those are two different things. Christ in fact gave a new command that we love each other as he loved us. That wasn't previously spoken by God was it? No so your assertions falls apart right there.

Also, The Lord never once commands Sabbath and neither does any apostle. Of course you have heard all this before. So never mind, just ignore me

How about circumcision law? That isn't a sacrifice or sin offering is it? Its not a civil law either is it?

 

[BobRyan]

How about circumcision law? That isn't a sacrifice or sin offering is it? Its not a civil law either is it?

1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" --

Now if you read that chapter you see that this is in direct contrast to ceremonial law - like circumcision.

17 Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches. 18 Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God. 20 Each man must remain in that condition in which he was called.

 

[BobRyan]

Actually bob you are taking everything out of context.

Just not in "real life".

Your assertion, which says that Christ only spoke the previous words of God, this isn't a proper interpretation of scripture.

I didn't say "the previous words" -- you are "quoting you" on that one.

I said that Christ never argues his Word against the Father - rather He claims that He speaks ONLY the words of the Father - and none of His own.

In the Bible - God says says "From Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL MANKIND come before Me to worship" - but you say "The Lord never once commands Sabbath and neither does any apostle."

In the Bible - God says "The Sabbath was MADE for mankind" Mark 2:27 but you say "The Lord never once commands Sabbath and neither does any apostle."


In the Bible God says "There REMAINS therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God" Heb 4 -- but you say "The Lord never once commands Sabbath and neither does any apostle."


In the Bible God says "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" -- but you say "The Lord never once commands Sabbath and neither does any apostle."

In the NT there is not a single quote of the 3rd commandment - saying not to take God's name in vain -- and you say "The Lord never once commands Sabbath and neither does any apostle." -- as if the Sabbath is like it. But you are wrong in that the Sabbath commandment IS quoted in the NT - in places like Rev 14:7 and in Hebrews 4.

But the 3rd commandment is never quoted at all in the NT - which means "nothing" of course since it is merely a "fluff rule" and not actual Bible exegesis that invents the idea of "deleting whatever is not repeating"

Its not just the lack of the Sabbath command in the NT, but is also about the rest of the NT teaching. We see liberty from the Law in Galatians 5-6, and its clearly talking about more than circumcision in that Galatians scripture, although circumcision is the main talking point there. We see Romans 14 as well. WE also see the apostles commands reiterated many times in the NT but never once is Sabbath found with them. Just add it all up brother, it seems to be pretty clear to me.

"the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:7

And in Rom 8:4-9 it is only the lost that are at war with the Law of God.

Hence 1 John 5:3-4.

1 John 5
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Mark 7
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

John 14:15 "IF you Love Me - KEEP My Commandments"

 

[bugkiller]

The Apostles claim the OT is scripture and the "Word of God" just as Christ said in Mark 7:6-13.

And you seem to claim by implication the NT isn't Scripture while Peter claims some of it is on par (equal to) Scripture. You have nothing to offer the Christian believer.

As we have seen about a zillion times by now - Christ said it is a quote from the OT "Moses said" to be specific.

Details matter.

 

[Jan001]

Thank you Jan for doing the research. You have provided some very interesting data. You highlighted the following:
He taught them these things, which we have submitted to you also for your consideration. (First Apology Chapter LXVII.—Weekly worship of the Christians. [A.D. 155]).

"He" meaning Jesus, "them" meaning the Apostles. The Apostles were dead by AD155 and in all their writings found in scripture they didn't leave a trace of evidence Jesus taught that Sunday was/is Holy, sacred, the new day of rest or anything else to indicate we are to "keep" Sunday. Sorry, but I am not convinced from what you have provided that Jesus, in any way, made a new sacred day. If that were true then certainly the New Testament would reveal such an event. Sacredness is not to be taken lightly and if such would be true then the Apostles were negligent in providing that information in scripture.

Oral information changes with each orator.

2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. rsv​

Why do you think the apostles gathered together on the first day of the week to break bread if Jesus had not instructed them to do this? The Scripture does indeed command us to do what the apostles preached to them to do. We are instructed to hold fast (do) the commands given to us by both their oral preaching/word of mouth and by their letters. Your reasoning for your belief in Scripture Alone does not agree with actual Scripture.

This worshiping on Sunday the first day of the week was immediately established in the local churches by the apostles. [URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+20:7&version=RSV']Acts 20:7[/URL]
[URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+20:7&version=RSV'][/URL]
We know for a fact that the Christians had their public worship on Sundays. 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 Sundays are also when the collections were gathered by the worshipers.

Do you think the people did not personally hear from the apostles where to meet and when? Do you think that the apostles did not personally instruct them the reason for why they were to meet on Sundays?

Why do you personally think the apostles needed to specifically write their reasoning in letters to these same churches decades later when everyone already knew when and where they were to meet for public worship?

It is not possible to know the whole gospel of Jesus Christ by simply reading the NT. The whole gospel was transmitted by the apostles and faithful disciples to the faithful by their word of mouth first and then later supplemented by their letters to various recipients.

 

[Travis93]

One of Jesus's commandments was to observe and do what teachers of the law of Moses tell you (Matthew 23:2-3), and to teach others to do so (Matthew 5:19), so keeping his commandments is the same as keeping the Torah.

 

[Jan001]

Agreed. And Christ makes the case in Mark 7 that "Moses said" and "The Word of God" and "the Commandment of God" are the same thing - all of them applying to this example in the case of the TEN Commandments.

In Matthew 19 which you quoted, please note that when Jesus was specifically asked what this person must do in order to have/enter eternal life, Jesus did not state that all of the Israelite's Ten Commandments were necessary to obey in order to be approved to inherit eternal life. Jesus states that six commandments are necessary to obey in order to be approved to enter into eternal life.

Matt 19
16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said,
“‘You shall not murder,’
‘You shall not commit adultery,’
‘You shall not steal,’
‘You shall not bear false witness,’
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and,
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
​

Jesus did not command the person to keep any commands other than these six in order to inherit eternal life so why do you, as an adamant adherent to Sola Scriptura, add other commandments to Jesus' commands such as those concerning the Sabbath of the Israelites/Jews?

What is more Christ said they were doing "MANY such things as that" -- so then not just an issue with this ONE Commandment.

By contrast - these guys are the church "magisterium" and they are getting hammered - "sola scriptura" by Christ.

Jesus had not yet finished the OC when He spoke the following in Matthew 23. Jesus commands His Jewish followers to do what their magisterium tells them to do, and He also commands them to not follow the maginsterium's examples of bad behavior because they do not practice what they preach.

Matthew 23:2-4
The scribes and the Pharisees (magisterium) sit on Moses’ seat; 3 so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice. 4 They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men. rsv​

No doubt. And the way we know if it is in violation of the Commandments of God - is that we read them.

That is not what Jesus tells His followers. As Jesus pointed out in Matthew 23:2-4, not all of the magisterium's commandments are written in the Scriptures yet they still must be obeyed.

Christ kept Sabbath - Christ insisted that He was not coming to destroy the Law of God in Matt 5. And Christ condemned the efforts of man-made-traditions to abolish even in the least - one of the Commandments of God - in Mark 7:6-13.

This is irrefutable.

1. Of course Jesus Christ, a Jew, kept the Sabbath on Saturday. He had not yet finished/fulfilled/completed the Old Covenant, which He did indeed fulfill/finish/complete by His own death (His perfect offering of Himself to His Father) on the cross. Before Jesus was crucified and had risen from the dead, He stated the following.

Matthew 5:17
“Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. rsv​

Luke 4:16-21
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as his custom was, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read; 17 and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

20 And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”rsv


Luke 22:37
For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was reckoned with transgressors’; for what is written about me has its fulfilment.” rsv
​

Jesus fulfilled/finished/completed the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant is now obsolete/no longer used by the people of God.

​

After Jesus rose from the dead, He stated the following.

Luke 24:44
Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” rsv​

2. Christ did not come to destroy the Law of God/Moses also known as the Old Covenant. Christ came to finish/fulfill/complete everything that was written about Him in the Law of Moses/Old Covenant so that the kingdom of God/New Covenant could then be put in force.

Luke 22:37
For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was reckoned with transgressors’; for what is written about me has its fulfilment.” rsv

Matthew 5:17
“Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.​

3. Jesus came to finish the Law of Moses/Old Covenant and to make an everlasting New Covenant based upon better promises than the Old Covenant promises. Christ came to ratify His New Covenant with His Father on behalf of His followers and He did this by His perfect offering of Himself on the cross to His Father. His perfect offering of Himself to His Father makes the animal sacrifices of the Law of Moses obsolete.

Hebrews 10:8-10
When he said above, “Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Lo, I have come to do thy will.” He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. rsv

Hebrews 8:13
In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.​

It seems to me that you misunderstand the teachings of Jesus and His Church's magisterium.

Luke 10:1-16
After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; 9 heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Woe to you, Chora′zin! woe to you, Beth-sa′ida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it shall be more tolerable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Caper′na-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
16 “He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
