Our schoolmaster explains the difference. There was no sacrifice for willfully breaking one of the Ten Commandments against God, they were stoned to death, thus sins unto death. There was sacrifices for trespasses because they are sins that are committed unintentionally and sometimes even...

Type, not specific sins. Sins unto death? Sins NOT unto death? What makes the difference?

And what type of sin does a Christian commit that is truly born again? 1 John 5:16-17

But the question is, what type of sins will a Christian commit? Sins unto death, or sins not unto death? 1 John 5:16-17

For a non-Christian true. The problem was not the law, but because of our sin nature. We will do what comes naturally. Those with a sin nature will sin; those without the sin nature will not sin.

So then Christians with a new nature do not sin, so no need for the law?

Do you believe that because Jesus paid our penalty, that the sins we commit are no longer held against us?

You do realize though that what you are describing is the Ten Commandments ("stealing," "adultery"). That is the ministry of death. We are not under the ministry of death, but the ministry of the Spirit. It is the Spirit of Christ that frees us from committing sins of lawlessness. Those desires...

Hi Nancy, if it is impossible to keep the law, how do you believe Christ's death helps us?

What I mean is, it is not through keeping the Ten Commandments which was the Old Covenant Exodus 34:28, but through the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ. The Ten Commandments were to show us our sin. Christ takes away our sin by changing our nature, and that I believe we agree on.

I believe the surface commandments of the Ten Commandments were changed by Jesus to be much deeper and why instead of hard stone, they are written on our hearts. In other words, the bottom line of murder under the Old Law, is now deeper to the source - hate. The law made no man righteous, but...

Not off the top of my head. But I remember the number was 6.

LOL I virtually said the same thing. Our posts crossed as ships in the night.

I believe it is now and not future. To me, rest is trust and faith in Jesus, which God had against the children of Israel. Of course, that includes keeping His commandments and are pleasing in the sight of God. But that is not done with the old carnal nature, but with the new divine nature we...

It was in 6 lists of canonical writings.

I also do not believe the "tradition" that Barnabas died in 61 AD before the destruction of the temple. The person who wrote the epistle was alive after the temple was destroyed, chapter 16.

We agree. But I believe His testament (what He taught) did not actually come into affect until the Day of Pentecost, which would correlate to the reading of the will.

I'm not stupid to believe Gnostic gospels. I do not consider the Epistle of Barnabas to be Gnostic. And it is the only non-recognized book of that time I read.

I don't think I got a clear answer. Do you now keep the Sabbath according to the Torah, or have you entered into God's rest through trusting in Jesus?

Do you believe Jesus, the Messiah, taught what would become the New Covenant while living under the Old Covenant, and how does it differ?
