hi stan....i see what your saying...many believe as you do even in the churches.....but my understanding of scripture says that jesus fulfilled the law for man.....then died under the law...the law condemn him...but he was sinless....by doing so....tbe law was paid for...redeeming man from the law....his life given for the law paid our breaking the law....setting us free from the law....the law holds no power on them who belive....jesus fulfilled the law for us....now we belong to him....not the law.....the law is dead.....its been fulfilled....our righteousnesss comes by faith in jesus work.........what we do and how we live is by the new laws of a new covenant......the laws we follow and obey are in the new covenant......to go back to the law is to deny jesus work....why serve the law when jesus fulfilled it for them who believe?.....i believe when one continues in the law he falls from grace....for jesus gave us his life of obedience to the law.....and took our disobedience to the law and paid the penalty of the law on the cross.....he died for us...to live after the law again....and sin against the law again.....what sacrifice do you have for breaking the law again?....none...jesus died once....no one can save you from the power of the law if you continue in the law and sin against the law....you will bear your judgement alone....to be truly in the faith and in the new covenant.....you must believe the law is fulfilled by jesus for you and cast off the law.....and put on the law of the new covenant.....namely love one another....in doing so......its as if you have fulfillled the whole law.....for love is the fulfillment of the law of god......but be warned...if a man lives by the law then as it is writyen....you reap what you sow....you will be judge by the law.....christ sacrifice will not save you....for to not have cast off the law in the fisrt place....will be as if you counted the blood of jesus unworthy for your sacrifice.....the law saves no one only condemns and finds guilty before god.....the law is written in the heart when man learns to accept the new covenant and live by faith...and love one another as god loves the world......stan if you continuee in the law...the very law you love and trust will jugde you in the day of judgement......if you are perfect and guiltless against the law.....well....but if you are found to have broken the law....you will pay the penalty of the law broken....its the chance you take....as for me and my house....we will serve the lord jesus....for in him do the gentiles trust.....peace
Malachi 4:4.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel,
with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the
great and dreadful day of the LORD:
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That
except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:
27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
16. And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said,
Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
19
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
15.
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the
commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
3.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
7. Brethren,
I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
The Law of God stands. It cannot pass away. Not in this life, nor in the world to come.
