Did God do away with the fact he wants you to love him with all your heart?Amen.
2Co 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
2Co 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2Co 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
2Co 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

And here we see the ten commandments were "done away"...in favor of something that did not represent death but represented life! Something far more glorious than the old.
How could any thinking Christian ignore those forthright verses? Paul sure didn't beat around the bush in telling us we are not subject to the 10 commandments with its ritual Sabbath rule. The doubters tell us "Did God do away with the fact he doesn't want you to lie, murder, commit adultery and covet?" LOVE that is how we do not do many more things than are listed in the 10. Not to belittle the 10 commandments, but do you, who teach to 10 are our guide, realize that there was no command in the 10 to love our fellow man. The greatest command in all of mankind is not one of the 10. Those who thump that we are under the 10 are surely doing so without thinking. The book of the law which contained the great commands to love God and our fellow man, is said by some, is all that was nailed to the Cross.Amen.

Tell it to Paul stuart. All you have accomplished is that Paul was a liar and cannot be trusted to write that the 10 commandments were temporary and Christians now have the power of the Holy Spirit as our guide not some incomplete 10 rules that didn't cover but very little how we are to treat our fellow man. Think brother.Did God do away with the fact he wants you to love him with all your heart?

God removed the penalty of transgression, he did NOT remove the law itself he desires you to keep.
That got transferred into your mind and on your heart
Without the attached penalty for transgression, the TC are no longer the ministry of death and condemnation
Christ is the end of the law UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS( not full stop)Tell it to Paul stuart. All you have accomplished is that Paul was a liar and cannot be trusted to write that the 10 commandments were temporary and Christians now have the power of the Holy Spirit as our guide not some incomplete 10 rules that didn't cover but very little how we are to treat our fellow man.

Yes, bring to an end the temporary laws that governed one small country that is now defunct. In all of history God did not dictate the laws He gave only to Israel to any other nation or people. Why should He start now?Jesus agrees with Paul:
Do not think I have come to abolish the law or the prophets, I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen will by any means disappear from the law till all is accomplished
Matt5:17&18
Maybe I am dense, but I really don't know what you mean by "not full stop".Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness( not full stop)
I believe the heart of the law remains.Yes, bring to an end the temporary laws that governed one small country that is now defunct. In all of history God did not dictate the laws He gave only to Israel to any other nation or people. Why should He start now?
Do you realize what you just wrote when you quoted Matt 5? You confuse me a bit stuart, do you believe not all was accomplished at the Cross and we are not now under the new covenant of grace and are under the dictates of the law given only to Israel?
For those who do believe not all was accomplished at the Cross I suggest you start wearing four tassels on your garments made from only one material. Oh and make sure the rebuilding of the Temple to honor God the way the law told Israel to do.
Maybe I am dense, but I really don't know what you mean by "not full stop".
Also, are you in agreement with my previous post or not?
All part of loving God and our fellow man and administered by the Holy Spirit. If the law remains then Jesus didn't accomplish all he came to do.I believe the heart of the law remains.
IE
Paul twice in rom ch14 tells us all food is clean.
But God cannot, nor will he remove the fact he does not want you to commit adultery, covet, take his name In vain, steal, murder etc

WhatvaHello Stuart.
What about sorcery?
What about it?Hello Stuart.

If you committed adultery, would you simply be conscious you had not loved as you should?All part of loving God and our fellow man and administered by the Holy Spirit. If the law remains then Jesus didn't accomplish all he came to do.
Use spiritual discernmentHello Stuart.
What about sorcery?
Hello Stuart.Whatva
What about it?
If you committed adultery, would you simply be conscious you had not loved as you should?
Or, would you be convicted you sinned by committing the act of adultery?
If you stole something. Would you be conscious you sinned by committing theft, or would you be conscious you committed sin by failing to love as you should?
Hello Stuart.Use spiritual discernment
Would you consider sorcery legalistic law?
Did I write that only the law on stone was placed on the heart?Hello Stuart.
Yes, most definitely.
Deuteronomy 18:10
There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer.
The ten commandment folk fail to notice this commandment against the act of sorcery below.
Galatians 5:20
idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions.
The commandment against sorcery is a moral commandment, yet it is not one of the ten commandments.
I agree, as long as you follow after the Spirit you pay no attention to the law.Hello Stuart.
Gentiles are under the commandment to not commit sexual immorality.
1 Thessalonians 4:3
For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality.
The commandment against adultery is the law, I am not under the law.
Galatians 5:18
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
If I avoided paying tax to some degree, I would be conscious that I had committed theft, yes.
Living a life of love fulfills the law and much more, so I pay no attention to the law.

God removed the penalty of transgression, he did NOT remove the law itself he desires you to keep.
The law of righteousness got removed.
