haibe:What are you on about here?Let me quote an easy translation for you to understand ,MAYBE KJV IS MAKING YOU SEE STARS. Matthew 5:18 (GW) 18 I can guarantee this truth: Until the earth and the heavens disappear, neither a period nor a comma will disappear from the Scriptures before everything has come true So you can see that it is from genesis to revelation that is the Law here, not the mumbo jumbo you quoted up there. And on fulfillment of the Law ofcos i am coming from the point where Christ did fulfill the law and the prophets( that is what was written concerning Him). 17 “Don’t think that I have come to destroy the Law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets. I have come not to destroy their teachings but to give full meaning to them. Matthew 5:17 The Importance of the Law and the Prophets( here it is so you no the bible is one complete book) 17 “Don’t think that I have come to ·destroy [abolish; do away with] ·the law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets [L the Law and the Prophets; C referring to the OT]. I have not come to destroy them but to ·bring about what they said [fulfill/complete them]. Matthew 5:17 (GNV) 17 “Don’t ever think that I came to set aside Moses’ Teachings or the Prophets. I didn’t come to set them aside but to make them come true. GOD'S WORD® Translation Christ is the fulfillment of Moses' Teachings so that everyone who has faith may receive God's approval.Romans 10:4 So if Christ did fulfill what was written concerning Him,should Christian not do same? Here what Jesus the master said. LUKE 9:23 He said to all of them, “Those who want to come with me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses every day, and follow me So as a christian, you pick up your cross DAILY by following the instructions( LAWS) of the Holy Spirit in line with God's word( bible), You do not pick and choose here. God said He will write his laws in our hearts( HEB 10:16)He did not say the law of the spirit of life but LAWS. The law of the spirit of life is actually the Holy Spirit. If you have the Holy Spirit, laws are not a burden, you don 't break them if you are full of God's word. If you are advocating here that mosaic teachings are abolished, you are very very wrong because it stands to contradict what Paul says here. GOD'S WORD® Translation Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are supporting Moses' Teachings.Romans 3:31 Unlike what you guys are advocating here that we should throw away the OT, PAUL IS SAYING THAT IS UNTHINKABLE.Everything in scripture is actually written for our example so we will not stumble,due to ignorance and unbelief. The whole bible(both OT and NT) is our constitution and our manual for life. ![]() 1 Like |

Bidam: What are you on about here?Let me quote an easy translation for you to understand ,MAYBE KJV IS MAKING YOU SEE STARS. Whether scriptures or law, why is the sacrificial law and judgemental law only passing but not moral? yes we learn from the law but we are not obliged to it. Heb. 8:13 says, "When He said, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." The Old Covenant with its harsh judicial judgments, moral laws and sacrificial obligations is no longer in effect because we are under a New Covenant. The New Testament covenant system says that we are to "be at peace with one another," ( Mark 9:50 ) and "with all men," ( Rom. 12:18 ). Rom. 14:19 says, "pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another." After all, "God has called us to peace," ( 1 Cor. 7:15 ). However, this does not mean that we are to approve of such sins as homosexuality, adultery, lying, and stealing since the holy spirit does not approve of it, the holy spirit leads us to what is necessary, you cannot relegate the place of the Holy spirit out of the leading of a christian. Sinai does not apply, we only learn from it. 1 Like |

Bidam: Follow the thread carefully the Op did answer your query, what Jesus came to fulfill was actually the sacrificial law.The moral laws are the very nature of God, they are eternal.they do not change cos God doesn't change.He said so through peter, be ye Holy for I am Holy(1 pet 1:13-16). Or why do you think He was conversing with Moses and Elijah on the mount of transfiguration? Moses represent the Law while Elijah represent the Prophets.So he fulfilled the sacrificial laws of Moses, the book of Hebrews was clear on that and He fulfilled what the prophets wrote about Him,His coming. Yes end of sacrificial laws. You err not knowing scriptures..That scripture says it's commands set in the form of ordinances..God's 10 commands has no ordinances except the levitical sacrifices...so it might look like Paul is advocating the abolishing of the law here but that is not true or else he wouldn't have talk about upholding the law in romans 3:31..scripture don't contradict scripture.bro, good point, very true. What does it mean to be Holy? What is Holiness? "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." (Romans 7:12). the law is holy, if you aint keeping the laws you cant be holy. You have spoken well. 1 Like |
Re: we are no longer under law but grace, but you do err christians. by MEILYN(m): 7:48am On Dec 22, 2013 |
Everything you say leads back to the law.... Holy, Love, Grace. E.t.c "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men," (Titus 2:11). "Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;" (Titus 2:12).<<<For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men teaching us that to deny ungodliness, we must live righteously. How do we live righteously? What does living righteously mean? "And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us." (Deuteronomy 6:25).<<< righteousness is when you obey the Laws of the Lord. So that verse means the grace of God that brings salvation to all men has appeared to teach us that to deny ungodliness you must have to obey the laws of God. |

MEILYN: bro, good point, very true. What does it mean to be Holy? What is Holiness? Meilin stop this hogwash, you are just misinterpreting the bible, when you see a word somewhere and it fits your claim, you just equate it with another verse. Your level of thinking is very bad, so can we say the likes of job are not holy because they didn't have the law? you must be a joker. Using your poor logic, I can also say: What does it mean to be Holy? What is Holiness? The holy Spirit is holy and so if you aint being led by the holy Spirit, you cant be holy. Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law |

haibe:My brother, you really need to study your bible and stop throwing insults at people early in the morning. Abraham did obeyed God, Noah and others did. About adam and Eve, God gave them commandments/instructions without any written law, so why can't God still operate with this process using His Holy Spirit? I guess you are just ignorant.The same Holy Spirit that people are saying is telling them to legalize abortion and same sex marriage abi? You can see your confusion here. These guys advocating for these laws are Christians ooo.. I even read somewhere on this forum that masturbation and premarital sex is not a sin..so you can see the gradual degeneration on God's eternal laws. leave those who are advocating for same sex marriage out of this, they are only deceiving themselves lieing on the Holy Spirit, people can always deceive themselves even if they were following all the 613 laws. So don't judge christians as a whole on the basis of some sects who lie on the Holy Spirit, be logical in your assertions.Why should i leave them. They tagged the label Christians, so i don't know whether you belong to that category. They always say God's law is abolished na. This is actually a logical assertion. Yes, God wants to be obeyed and that's why he expects us to follow his leadings by his Holy Spirit, he doesn't want us to be guided by written laws anymore when he is closest to us, infact saying we are still bound by written laws at this dispensation of the Holy Spirit is as good as relegating the Holy Spirit behind. Those who the laws were given too did not have the Holy spirit like we christians do have today, and so it was a good idea to lead them by written laws.So you can see, you level of reasoning is shallow here. What do you understand by written laws according to scripture? What is logos, What is rhema, Is the bible not written in black and white, Don't you go to the bible for guidance? I am telling you here that people misinterpret and misrepresent God's word and they tell you it is the Holy Spirit? which Holy Spirit contradicts scripture? But never was the law written to Christians but the jews, christians are to operate in liberty of the Holy spirit and not in bondage to the law, yes the Holy spirit is liberty while the law is bondage, if you are led by the Holy spirit you are of the freewoman and not under the law, the bond woman.Last time i read my bible Peter, James and Paul were both Jews and are Christians, so if the law(bible) wasn't written to Christians they would have told us so. I do not know how else you want to twist scriptures but the bible makes it clear that we are not to be led by the law but the Holy spirit.You are the one twisting Paul's letters from the beginning of this thread and i am telling you so, you are unlearned and unstable according to peter's statement. You are actually practicing lawlessness. Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit ,And did you see me tell you here, i am under any law ![]() ![]() You can do a bible study yourself here:I am also not of the bondwoman,we brethren as Isaac was are children of promise,salvation is not by works, it's a free gift, so after salvation we should fold our hands and go to sleep abi ![]() Do not deceive yourself, you are either under the old covenant or the new covenant, nothing like old wine in new bottle. Sinai is null, we only establish what was given in sinai by love through the holy spirit.I am not deceiving myself, it is a waste of time arguing with you because clearly you don't even know what you are talking about. You quote scripture out of context without having an understanding what the scripture is talking about. My candid advice is for you to go back and study your bible.Stop swallowing strange doctrines you see on the internet, Meilyn did a good job exposing your inadequacies here. |

How can you be your own witness in court?. being witnessed by the law and the prophet. first the law signifies lev, num, deutronomy. the prophets signifies all other scriptures written in the OT. This books testifies or are witness to the fact that God would later reveal a righteousness by faith and not of the works of the law but that he will reveal a new covenant centred on righteousness by faith When you do not understand something, you can ask questions. |

haibe:Hebrew 8:10 is talking about the second coming, thats when all will be fulfilled and thats when the second covenant begins. That is where you are confuse. "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:" (Hebrews 8:10). "And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest." (Hebrews 8:11). this hasnt happened or has it? "The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable." (Isaiah 42:21). Christ will come and make the law honourable, that he did. How did he magnify the law? Its simple. "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. " (Matthew 5:27-28). Christ also came to abolish the sacrificial laws. Not morals, he came to correct morals. |

Bidam: How this guy is aware of the truth but constantly spew errors. oga bidam, what is the 'true' Christ referred to in this verse. Did it not come true on the cross? Is the death and resurrection sufficient to make the laws given to Moses on Mount Sinai disappear? Bidam: Oga bidam Genesis to Revelation is not the law. Bidam: Mr Bidam, does fulfil mean accomplish/finish? The bible says the letter of the law kills because no one can keep its directives. Jesus says I will pay the price by fulfilling that which the law is set out to do, hence he dies. Jesus became Sin. I am sure you know what the wages/the resultant effect of sin is- it is death. Christ became the sin of the world and died once and for all for anyone that believes. TRUE OR FALSE? Bidam: Must you force the word of God to validate your error? Jesus was in no way talking about law here but about people like you who hold prosperity in high esteem. If you must quote bible, why not quote in context. Bidam: So as a christian, you pick up your cross DAILY by following the instructions( LAWS) of the Holy Spirit in line with God's word( bible), You do not pick and choose here. God said He will write his laws in our hearts( HEB 10:16)He did not say the law of the spirit of life but LAWS. The law of the spirit of life is actually the Holy Spirit. If you have the Holy Spirit, laws are not a burden, you don 't break them if you are full of God's word. This bidam needs help, how hilarious can this self-righteous and new age Pharisee be? When everyone you encounter tell you to rightly divide the word, you erroneously scuttle to 'all scriptures are inspired by God'. Bidam: You have made this verse your soft landing and the basis of your own gospel. It is unfortunate that you will ignore all the apostle said before making this statement and quickly draw your conclusion. Bidam: when we say you're not under Law, but strictly by faith + nothing, does that mean you throw the Law out to the wind? No! In Romans Chapter 13 Paul is going to say just as plain as English can make it. "That when we love our neighbor, as a believer, of course, then we fulfill the Law." We don't cast it out. Can you love someone and break any of those commandments against him? It's impossible. And so love is the fulfilling of the Law. The conundrum we are faced with as 'man' is the issue of the sinful nature. There is no way we can be transformed if we don't read and understand the mind of God through scriptures. 1 Like |

MEILYN: John 14:26 You read out of context, where does the bible say the holy Spirit teaches the law there, if Christ taught his disciples spiritual lessons and so does the holy spirit, how does that mean the Holy spirit teach the.law of moses? Jesus taught the law only because he hadn't fulfilled the requirements of the law at that time, after he ressurected, he fulfilled the obligation of the law and established a new testament 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 NOT ACCORDING to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws INTO THEIR MINDS and write them in their HEARTS: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A NEW COVENANT, HE HATH MADE THE FIRST OLD. NOW THAT WHICH DECAYED AND WAXETH OLD IS READY TO VANISH AWAY. A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU , That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.(John 13:34) The greatest commandment is not even of the law. Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is the great and foremost commandment. "The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." |
