Therefore, why is it that so many who claim to love God hate His law so much?
Because their professed love for God is actually HATE for Him. If they truly loved Him, they would love also His law - because His law is a transcript of His character, as the Bible testifies. To God be the glory!
Jesus never did loose His relationship with God, it was always in place that is why God used Him so much,No, for a time his love for God turned to love for self. Thankfully, the Good Shepherd leaves the 99 seek the 1 and David was restored into a loving relationship with God. To Him be the glory!
OK, do we have to get circumcised? Or bring lambs to sacrifice?
No, Jesus wasn't.
His greatest commandment was to do onto others as you would have them do unto you.
He fulfilled the law and as said in Romans, the law is death.
Intent of the law not the letter of the law.
Please quote a Scripture whereby Jesus Commanded Gentiles to KEEP the "Sabbath"?
IOW, the Sabbath was never a LAW "given" to Gentiles to KEEP. How are they required to "KEEP" something Never given them?
The intent of the Law is its letter; don't try fool yourself, it's its intent of "letter that kills".
"If ye love Me, keep My commandments" implies that those who break God's commandments don't love Him.
Since what is said about God's character is the same said about the Ten Commandments, by extension those who do not keep the Ten Commandments hate BOTH God and His law.
Same old legalist Law requirement, "'quote a Scripture whereby Jesus Commanded Gentiles to KEEP the "Sabbath"?'" And although it is there, Scripture, as Jesus' Commandment, that can be quoted and oft before has been quoted for you but which you think you can just pretend and ignore away, THERE IS JESUS CHRIST in, through and by several parables and teachings and examples and precedents of his, but above all, in through and by JESUS' DEED OF RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD "IN FULLNESS OF THE SABBATH before the First Day of the week", that the Sabbath LAW is being "given" to Gentiles to KEEP. How are they required NOT to "KEEP" something given them in, through, and by "the Son by (whom) God in these last days, thus has spoken: And God THAT DAY The Seventh Day from all his works, RESTED!"
While you are "keeping" a particular day, called the Sabbath, "by" going to a "place"; tent, building, temple, synagogue, church, or whatever; TO REST from WORK; TO PRAISE God....
I'll be PRAISING the Lord God, EVERYDAY, without the necessity of A BUILDING or PARTICULAR TIME;
For the Lord is IN Me and WITH Me ALWAYS
It's not what you, lie, that I say, I, do! If that is the way you'll be "'PRAISING the Lord God, EVERYDAY'", it is no wonder your lord is in you and always with you.
It is fascinating that these law keepers quote the Old Testament and first four books of the New Testament only.
Fascinating because all of that happened under Mosaic law.
Christ and the apostles condemned such thinking as only leading to spiritual death.
I don't think we are at liberty to disregard "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." Do you? Can we sacrifice goats and chickens to Beelzebub and still go to heaven?What a Dodge. He just cannot admit you don't have an answer.
