What the Bible says about God's character -
Just
- Romans 3:26
True - John 3:33
Pure - 1 John 3:3
Light - 1 John 1:5
Faithful - 1 Corinthians 1:9
Good - Nahum 1:7
Spiritual - 1 Corinthians 10:1-4
Holy - Isaiah 6:3
Truth - John 14:6
Life - John 14:6
Righteousness - Jeremiah 23:6
Perfect - Matthew 5:48
Eternal - Hebrews 13:8

(What else is said of these very same things? His law -)

Just - Romans 7:2
True - Nehemiah 9:13
Pure - Psalms 19:7-8
Light - Proverbs 6:23
Faithful - Psalms 119:86
Good - Romans 12:7;12:16
Spiritual - Romans 7:14
Holy - Exodus 20:8; Romans 7:12
Truth - Psalms 119:142;151
Life - John 12:50; Matthew 19:17
Righteousness - Psalms 119:172
Perfect - Psalms 19:7; James 1:26
Eternal - Psalms 111:8; Luke 16:17

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!

I don't think anybody who is a Christian ever hates the law. My only problem would stem from one claiming that since Jesus did it, then we too can be "perfect" through His Spirit which lives within us...while we are still in this fleshy body.
Only Jesus could keep the Law-that is why He died for our sins, because we could NOT keep the perfect Law. This kind of thinking IMHO can lead to works of the flesh...

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!
Jesus never did loose His relationship with God, it was always in place that is why God used Him so much,

Act_13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

See David loved God but wasnt perfect and David understood His imperfection.

OK, do we have to get circumcised? Or bring lambs to sacrifice?

Yes, we do have to get circumcised. But once again, the word is Spirit because God is Spirit and the letter of the law is for the flesh, which must die, but the spirit of the law is for eternity.

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.

I'm not saying Jesus meant; I say why Phoneman, don't you say what you mean?

Core issue which CoreIssue won't admit because it will kill him has he nothing to twist and argue about, just like Phoneman. Christianity on all sides is Sabbath-besotted now a days BECAUSE they do not realise it is God who wants them to be beset with prejudice against his Holy Day, so that come Judgement Day Sabbath, no one will have a sob-story excuse!

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?

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!"

"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.

Thank you for your logical conclusion.

No commandment is accomplished without God.

ALL commandments are accomplished IN God.

Man himself has very little to do with accomplishing the Big Picture.

Happy New Year,
Glory to God,
Taken

Thank you for sharing your understanding.

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;
Working or Resting.

Glory To God,
Taken

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.

It's nonsense. Christ and the apostles quote the Old Testament only... ah, yes they were Law-keepers, of course!

What a Dodge. He just cannot admit you don't have an answer.
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?
