My apologies for the "whatever" comment. It's late and I'm tired. You have your religious observances. I've stated what my Bible says, particularly Galatians 3. I will continue my blessed life by living according to the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus that makes me free from the Law of sin and death. I will continue to obey my conscience and intuition. I will continue to live by the Law of liberty, not the law of Moses. I will daily be saved by grace. I will value and treasure my righteousness which exceeds that of the Pharisees because it is of God, not me. I will not stoop so low as to merely live by outward observances of commandments. God's requirements of me are so much higher than I can achieve that I must live by the Spirit. The Law of Moses is a shadow of the reality. I prefer to live in the light, not the shadows.nonsense ... please choose facts that are actually visible on this thread.
These texts so easily ignored by those opposed to the plain statements we find here - do not constitute a denial of the gospel... as it turns out
Eph 6:
2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise:
First commandment where? In God's Ten Commandments. .. obviously
Rom 7: "7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
What LAW says that? -- Ans: God's Ten Commandments
James 2
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
God's Law says that "in the Ten Commandments" as we all know
Mark 7
6 He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
7 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
9 He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God), 12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
=====================
they were posted... then ignored.. then we have that summary "dismissal" post above as if - the texts are either "authored by me" and so can be ignored or they have some mystical meaning not apparent to the reader. While you may choose one of those options as you have free will and can choose that if you like... please don't post as if all of us went down that path as well.
Meanwhile by contrast - we find a number of contributors to this thread affirming texts like that .. not "just me".
