Irrelevant skirting the issue. Just as bad as ignoring questions. IOW you haven't a leg to stand on so this is what you do instead of addressing the issue.
So now that Christ, and his father paid a huge price for our sin, all we need do is accept that, then skip along happily for the rest of out lives, make a practice of breaking the law, and still get to heaven?
Nope, I don't think that was the general idea God/Christ had in mind. I Personally, appreciate what they did enough that I will try harder to keep the commandments than I would with the old covenant.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin wbecause we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
Not being "under" the law does not mean we aren't to keep the law. Why do you choose to misunderstand that? Says it right there...it states we're are not to sin, and since the law is what defines sin in the first place, we are to keep the law.Or, not sinning means not breaking the law, as the law is the sin God does not want us to do...it is him telling us exactly what sin is so there is no confusion.
Edit:
I wonder why people think not being under the law equates to not having to keep the law? Maybe it's the fact they choose to sin and that is their way of justifying it? That's all I a can figure. And when that becomes the case, I guess people will defend their faulty stance tooth and nail, regardless of how hard one tries to convince them otherwise.
Selfishness is a very powerful thing...so powerful, one is willing to even fool themselves in order to continue in it.
