T0TH3M4X View Profile History	The Law Made Simple Posted : 10 Feb, 2020 12:23 PM There are a lot of discussions going on about the Torah and/or the Law of Moses, God's Law(s), the Words of Jesus and things stated by Paul. Here is a simplified explanation of it, and of course you are welcome to disagree. No matter where you read it in the Bible, the law always has the same function which is in harmony with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It has always been about "Relationship" between God and man. The Church is the unification of that body through Christ and under the Father. God's creation was perfect, but in that perfection, man was allowed a conscience of his/her own, and when that conscience was used to undermine that relationship, sin entered the world, and with it the promise of the Gospel. The laws given to Moses were about relationship. The first four commandments are about our relationship with God and the last six are about our relationships with other people. Again, always about relationship. This is what God asks of us. Love God, and love others. Part of loving God is fearing Him, but it's not a shivering kind of fear, but rather one in which we honor God's sovereignty. Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Again, this is clarified even more by the very words of Jesus. Matt 22:36-39 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 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. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. This is it. Those in Christ are your family. As far as Paul, I have no doubt he understood this. Paul wasn't there to establish law, but rather to help fulfill it. He waa a man, but one with a special purpose, just like God has created us all with purpose. Post Reply

View Profile History	The Law Made Simple Posted : 12 Feb, 2020 06:13 AM Another Extremely Satanic quote by Khutzpah: "Jesus never taught you had to believe his Mom was a virgin. As for the physical resurrection, I believe Jesus DID rise from the dead, but I think Scripture leaves some ambiguity on the table to exactly in what form.???? Post Reply
