"Antinomianist" which means "one who is against the law of God"
Well, again, your emotions are understandable...just not appropriate.
Do you always characterize unwelcomed criticism as "emotional"? Because the two are not the same.
Your reply is like a form letter in response.
Is that what you characterize lucid, well communicated thought? Because the two are not necessarily the same.
I was indeed addressing the obligation issue, all of which are met "in Christ."
Sorry, but the moment one starts mentioning "to be saved" in a discussion that is about "after we're saved", a shift has been made from "obligation" to "origination", which is an Antinomianist knee jerk reaction. You guys can't help yourselves. It's as if the Cognitive Dissonance starts really taking hold and the only brain response you guys can muster is to do that, so that comforting, reassuring claims of "but we're saved by grace!" can quiet a conscience awakening to the reality that it will NEVER be OK to break any of the Ten Commandments, both in the here and now and for all eternity.
In other words, if we are in Christ, "it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us." Thus, by imposing the Ten Commandments on those in Christ, you crucify Christ all over again.
If this isn't a most asinine twisted example of liberal theology...it is not those who
keep God's law, it is those who
break His law that "crucify the Son of God afresh and put Him to an open shame", according to Paul.
Which one would not do if he actually knew what being "in Christ" meant,
If one believes that "in Christ" actually means "break any one of these least commandments and teach men so" then that one should expect to be called "least in the kingdom of heaven".
and believed the entire word of God which elaborates the only biblical "obligations" of New Testament Christians. Such a campaign is against-Christ.
I've got unwelcome news for you: Isaiah, the one called the Gospel prophet b/c he wrote so much about Jesus, said, "(Jesus) will MAGNIFY the law and make it honorable." That's why "thou shalt not commit adultery and kill" became "do not lust and hate". If you think only Ten Commandments are bad, just wait till you find out how high and lofty the Spirit of the Law is.
During these times of the church, the times of the gentiles, and not those times of Israel...no one has been given the law (including the Ten Commandments), except as a gift. The gift is not an incomplete gift yet to be fulfilled, but rather, in Christ "It is finished" already. And, no, Christ does not need our help to hold things together, or to come picking up after Him. He has violated no law or commandment, but fulfilled all...already.
More Jesuit inspired Dispensationalism nonsense. Ain't nobody ever been saved by keeping a law, killing a sacrifice, dumping out a drink offering, etc. Abraham isn't going to walk around bragging how he WORKED for his ticket to heaven while us New Covenant prima donnas got there on the roller skates of grace.
It's ALL by grace. They looked in faith forward to the Cross and we look in faith back to it.
Shame on you for browbeating His lambs, lambs who were never commanded to do the law. You mistake "servants" for "sons." But "Beloved, now are we the sons of God."
Shame on you breaking the commandmetns of God and teaching men to do it, thinking you'll be regarded by those in heaven looking down to you as "great" when the entire universe knows what you're doing and teaching is exactly what made necessary Heaven's Commander to have to leave behind His glory and come down here to die an ignominious death on what should have been OUR Cross in the first place.
As for what commandments those who live during these times are actually obligated to, we have a "new commandment" which sums up all the laws of the past into one:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
One who claims to love God but breaks any of the first table of stone "is a liar and the truth is not in him".
And the one, new commandment:
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another."That is all.
One who claims to love thy neighbor but breaks any of the second tables of stone "is a liar and the truth is not in him."
