Just looked up this verse on the net, and I would like to hear
your thoughts as to what it means. Thanks.
I see this section as only showing death that ends in victory is
over at the last trump. The wicked dead will rise much later, just ahead of the new heaven and new earth.
the sting of death - the cause of death -was brought on us
because of Adam's sin time with Eve.
Romans 6:14
Just because we are not under the law does not mean that the law of God are dismissed. The curse of the law was place on Christ on the cross not the law and because of grace it is not necessary to stone a person for God has a day of judgement set aside for casting into a lake of fire. In the old testament they walked in a righteous and blamelessly manner when they kept the law, but the law did not justify them it was faith. Abraham walked and was obedient to God's laws and commandment, but faith was what justified them. The pharisees omitted faith and made the law a burden and I can show you this from the word of God. First, I will let you search the scripture so that God will reveal to you why the law is to be kept and the law is not a burden. I am not hiding this truth from you, but I believe if you search the scriptures asking God to reveal it to you then you know that the laws are not done away with. If I show you the passage you will try to refute it. By the way, though this is not the passage I am talking about the law of God are stored and written within.
As long as the law exists so will sin, as it says the power of sin is the law.Just looked up this verse on the net, and I would like to hear

Romans 6:14
Did I misunderstand you."Don't assume that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." True, he did not come to destroy and you only destroy that which is not good. God gave the law and the scriptures say they are holy and good. So then, what did he come to fulfill? He came to fulfill everything what was spoken of him. Many believers cannot see this because they were taught to take this verse to mean that he came to fulfill the Law. Keep on reading verse 18, "for truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished," which means the learn are still around stored and written within us. So, it could not be the law he was referring to when he said, I came to fulfill. Why would he fulfill the law that God gave? Did God not know what he was doing when he gave the law? Throughout scriptures it emphasizes the keeping the law and faith was part of it, Abraham kept all God's charges, but faith was what justified him. So what happened to faith? The Pharisees omitted faith from the law of God making it a burden and this is biblical. Where is the passage? I will let you research it in the scripture. If you search and fine then God will revealed it to you. I would not give you the passage to avoid a debate. Let God reveal it to you and you will have to debate with him![]()
I will humbly state that I believe God has given me an understanding of the law. I studied this topic due to the way I saw those holding the law judge my Christian brethren who do not hold the learn. Also, I would not burden my Christian brethren except it be for 4 things, which the Apostle Paul stated.
Abraham didn't have Gods law, and you don't keep them, faith would be of no value if people kept the law."The person who does these things will live by them." Read Romans 9 & 10, the law is not dismissed, it should be put in it right perspective. Do you know that Abraham kept God's laws, commandments, ordinances, Statures, charges and was justified by faith? If so, it just demonstrates that the law can be kept as long as your faith is in God. Do you know that the Pharisees made the law a burden when they omitted faith? With this being said, do a little research and if you want to really know if the law has to be kept God will reveal it through the scriptures.
This shows Abraham didn't keep the law, I don't think he had it, but wouldn't have kept it anyway."The person who does these things will live by them." Read Romans 9 & 10, the law is not dismissed, it should be put in it right perspective. Do you know that Abraham kept God's laws, commandments, ordinances, Statures, charges and was justified by faith? If so, it just demonstrates that the law can be kept as long as your faith is in God. Do you know that the Pharisees made the law a burden when they omitted faith?

Did I misunderstand you.
Ephesians chapter 2 verses 14-19
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 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 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Consequently , you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household.

11. If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people), why was there still need for another priest to come--one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
12. For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.
18. The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless
19. (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love Galatians chapter 5 verse 6I will reply to you on this when I come back in a week, I am preparing to leave to Israel for a week, but my question to you, if the laws are done away with then what laws are store in our mind and written in our heart? In other words, we have to go to the original language to see exactly what was meant. Now, when we discuss this let to it with trying to prove ourselves right, but to put on the table what God's word say on it.
I didn't look at it but here's one of those faiths.There is more than one kind of faith in the Bible for the church.
faith - to move mountains
faith in Jesus Christ
1 Cor. 13 is the continuation of chapter 12 about gifts that
the church receives. faith is one of those gifts
If faith doesn't express itself in love it's worthless, it shows here what faith will do, if it's of value.Step back to verse 5 where it shows that it is referring to
faith - as to the righteousness the believers get at His coming.
Galatians 5:5
We wait with this kind of faith as Christians.
There is also now given to some Christians - the gift of faith...just as wisdom, and prophecy, are given to some. This kind of faith is not
what justifies a believer in Jesus Christ.
I'm not saying your wrong but that's not what I believe, now you see why I don't go to church theirs just constant disagreements.Matthew 25 is not about the church/Christians.
It is for when the end of the world is upon people-both
wicked and just. Those still alive will be judged for how
they treated the least of the brethren. Right now, charity
matters -yes - but that is love as to the gifts the church is
given after Jesus Christ left and returned to heaven. But look what it says as to if you give all your stuff to the poor-but don't
have charity.
The people at the great tribulation time...are not going to be
required to feed the poor - go buy them groceries - then
to buy and sell requires the mark of the beast,
Ignore the chapter division from the end of chapter 24.
The end of chapter 24 is about a time referred to as "that
day". Just ahead it was setting the time as to when heaven
and earth shall pass away. This answers the other question
of the disciples - as -to the end of the world.
sign of Thy coming/Jesus seen seated on the right hand of power and coming in glory/6th seal
and
the end of the world/angels reap up the wicked people left
on the earth
The sheep inherit eternal life.
The goats go to the lake of fire - everlasting punishment.
/not to regular hell -but to eternal fire
