“‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’” Leviticus 19:37We are talking about James and the context of the law He is quoting, the Ten Commandments. James 2:10-12
False, the Catholic Church is almost 2000 years old. That 2000 year old Church split during the Great Schism.So says the RCC, as well. Constantine ruled from Byzantium, not Rome, and the only connection between him and the RCC is the fact that he ruled an empire which included an undivided church. The RCC actually did not appear until the Great Schism.
Yes, we should keep anything God asks of us as I have stated a few times, if we are truly keeping the first commandment, we would be keeping everything God's asks. James is quoting from is the Ten Commandments, which is the law of liberty. James 2:10-12“‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’” Leviticus 19:37
That's interesting, a commandment to keep the entire law. (Unless that's not a commandment. But how do you tell?)“‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’” Leviticus 19:37
It's at the end of all the decrees and laws given by God in Leviticus 11-19.That's interesting, a commandment to keep the entire law. (Unless that's not a commandment. But how do you tell?)
Verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18Most people I've talked to who want to divide up the law say that the Commandments are eternal.
What scripture states that? If none exists then that must be man-made doctrine. Man deciding to keep a small part of the law, and disregard the rest, despite God saying “‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’” Leviticus 19:37 and James saying "For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10Yes, we should keep anything God asks of us as I have stated a few times, if we are truly keeping the first commandment, we would be keeping everything God's asks. James is quoting from is the Ten Commandments, which is the law of liberty. James 2:10-12
Perhaps you don’t understand what I am saying. What is the first commandment?What scripture states that? If none exists then that must be man-made doctrine. Man deciding to keep a small part of the law, and disregard the rest, despite God saying “‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’” Leviticus 19:37 and James saying "For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10
So all of the individual laws given by God to follow as written in Leviticus 11-19 must be obeyed, correct?Perhaps you don’t understand what I am saying. What is the first commandment?
Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
Whatever we place above God, which is any disobedience to God is breaking commandment #1.
We should keep all of God’s laws and as I have stated a few times, there is not a law that doesn’t have an umbrella under the Ten. Jesus came to magnify the law Isaiah 42:21 and gave an example of that right from the Ten Matthew 5:21-30 and as James says if you break one commandment again quoting from the unit of Ten you break them all. Nothing man-made about that, but what Jesus does say is man-made is keeping our rules over the commandments of God again quoting from the Ten. Matthew 15:3-9.
Hi again….So all of the individual laws given by God to follow as written in Leviticus 11-19 must be obeyed, correct?
Who decided what laws from the Torah are to be kept? And what are they?Are there laws in the OT we need to keep, of course but many laws from the book of Moses (ordinances) ended at the cross like the sacrificial laws, annual feasts, animal sacrifice and sin offerings as they all pointed to Jesus who took the penalty of sin at the cross Col 2:14-17, Hebrews 10:1-22. What did not end is sin (look around) which is what Jesus came to save us from (not in) Matthew 1:21 which is still the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4 and Paul points right to the Ten Romans 7:7
God decides. I would start with the basics- the Ten Commandments and earnestly seek to keep them and ask Jesus to help keep them. We cannot understand scripture without the guidance of the Holy Spirit who promises to teach us all things John 14:26 and is given to help us keep the commandments John 14:15-18 and to those who obey Acts 5:32. I would follow Jesus and do what He did as He is our example to follow. 1 John 2:6Who decided what laws from the Torah are to be kept? And what are they?
So it's up to individual discernment from the Holy Spirit as to which laws must still be obeyed?God decides. I would start with the basics- the Ten Commandments and earnestly seek to keep them and ask Jesus to help keep them. We cannot understand scripture without the guidance of the Holy Spirit who promises to teach us all things John 14:26 and is given to help us keep the commandments John 14:15-18 and to those who obey Acts 5:32. I would follow Jesus and do what He did as He is our example to follow. 1 John 2:6
No. That’s not what I said- there is only one Truth, not many. God gives His Spirit to those who obey Acts 5:32 He is not going to give the power of the Holy Spirit to those who can’t handle it. Romans 8:4-8 The Spirit convicts us of sin which is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4 Romans 7:7 if you’re confused about the laws my suggestion is to start obeying the basic, the Ten Commandments, God will lead you to the rest of what we need to keep, like His health laws etc.So it's up to individual decrement from the Holy Spirit as to which laws must still be obeyed?
So, God did not leave us any precise instruction about what from the Law is necessary to keep today and its on individuals to decide it for themselves?No. That’s not what I said- there is only one Truth, not many. God gives His Spirit to those who obey Acts 5:32 He is not going to give the power of the Holy Spirit to those who can’t handle it. Romans 8:4-8 The Spirit convicts us of sin which is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4 Romans 7:7 if you’re confused about the laws my suggestion is to start obeying the basic, the Ten Commandments, God will lead you to the rest of what we need to keep, like His health laws etc.
What does Deut. 30:10-14, and Paul's paraphrase of it Rom 10:6-8 say? Therein you will find what you seek.So all of the individual laws given by God to follow as written in Leviticus 11-19 must be obeyed, correct?
His health laws etc. What's included in the etc? Surely that's been established by now, rather than that information being some mystery held in secret by those who are able to handle it.No. That’s not what I said- there is only one Truth, not many. God gives His Spirit to those who obey Acts 5:32 He is not going to give the power of the Holy Spirit to those who can’t handle it. Romans 8:4-8 The Spirit convicts us of sin which is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4 Romans 7:7 if you’re confused about the laws my suggestion is to start obeying the basic, the Ten Commandments, God will lead you to the rest of what we need to keep, like His health laws etc.
What does Deut 30:10-14 and Paul's paraphrase of it in Rom 10:6-8 say?So, God did not leave us any precise instruction about what from the Law is necessary to keep today and its on individuals to decide it for themselves?
That seems rather inconsistent, considering how precise God is in the Torah.So, God did not leave us any precise instruction about what from the Law is necessary to keep today and its on individuals to decide it for themselves?
Amen. The Problem for most is that they have not the faith. When told to leave their country and family they will ask why. When told they must sacrifice themselves in sacrificing there only son they will ask why. In asking they will ask themselves why out of doing what God intended. We ask why as if we need to understand before doing. We are to do as the Spirit leads. Not ask why or come up with excuses not to. That is not faith.No. That’s not what I said- there is only one Truth, not many. God gives His Spirit to those who obey Acts 5:32 He is not going to give the power of the Holy Spirit to those who can’t handle it. Romans 8:4-8 The Spirit convicts us of sin which is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4 Romans 7:7 if you’re confused about the laws my suggestion is to start obeying the basic, the Ten Commandments, God will lead you to the rest of what we need to keep, like His health laws etc.
