View Profile History	old testament commandments? Posted : 25 Mar, 2012 11:37 AM Hmm, its a lot of commandments to obey! However, I guess being Bible believing christians, we ought to obey for sure. And it shouldn't be directed towards just ladies but men as well. Post Reply

View Profile History	old testament commandments? Posted : 25 Mar, 2012 04:22 PM Ok Focus, how about enforcing Leviticus 20:9-21 without landing in jail because of the laws of this country? The text must be read in context, as in who it was intended for and why. Do you think God intended this text for Gentiles? Post Reply
View Profile History	old testament commandments? Posted : 25 Mar, 2012 08:27 PM of course not! Holding out hope. That without being said any bible believing christians and those who live by the grace of Jesus christ knows the OT have been clarified in the NT. I didnt find it necessary to mention before,but guess it could be misunderstood. If we read from the OT to the NT, its pretty simple. Post Reply

agrosenb View Profile History	old testament commandments? Posted : 26 Mar, 2012 11:29 AM Jesus Christ came and died to "fulfill the law" and to set us free. If we still live according to the OT law, we are making Christ's sacrifice null and void. Obviously, we need to live lives that are above reproach and good example of Christ in our communities and that means living in accordance to our country's laws. The 10 Commandments are good guidelines for everyone, even if they aren't Christians. But really? Having to go through the entire purification ritual because you were in the same room with a woman on her period?! C'mon, now... Post Reply
View Profile History	old testament commandments? Posted : 26 Mar, 2012 02:45 PM Paul warned that if you felt you needed to keep one part of the law to be right with God, then you needed to keep all of it, perfectly at all times, and Jesus would be no use to you. This is vitally important to understand: The whole of the law is God's standard of holiness. If you can keep it all, all of the time without even one transgression, then you don't need Jesus because you're good enough to enter heaven - as measured by God. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, as none from Moses onwards was able to keep the law, God sent His own Son, who not being conceived of man, did not inherit the sinful nature of Adam. Jesus, in fully keeping the law (the spirit of, not human interpretations), and having the right to sit at God's side, voluntarily "swapped" His exalted position with our cursed one. Through HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE we enter heaven. To go back to the OT law and believe keeping some of it makes us better Christians in God's eyes is folly because He only sees Jesus when He looks at us. By all means follow those laws that show respect towards and honour God - do it gladly as your worship of Him - but don't ever mix it up with salvation 'cos that battle has been fought and won already!
