It means God's commandments. Unless you think Jesus and His Father are not One and therefore have different commandments. Why complicate a simple thing?

I strongly disagree. Don't you know that in the middle ages, people risked their lives by smuggling single pages of Scripture sewn into their garments? And who are you to dictate in what manner a thread should be started?

I'll never learn not to start threads that I know will veer off into a "You're A Legalist" depository.

Who said anything about perfection, or taking Glory that belongs to God?

Isn't 2 verses rather a narrow view of the process of sanctification? And who said anything about a standard?

Uh, because I wasn't referring to John 5; it was John 8 I was quoting. And people quote parts of verses all the time. The Bible was not originally separated into verses. There are no less than 11 question marks in your post and 3 requests for expositions. Thank you for your participation. :)

I think it might be time we moved on with our lives.

Jesus had come to “magnify the law, and make it honorable.” He was not to lessen its dignity, but to exalt it. The scripture says, “He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He have set judgment in the earth.” Isaiah 42:21, 4. He had come to free the Sabbath from those burdensome requirements...

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4)

It seems we're having trouble nailing down the start point of the new covenant now.

Pile up all the proof texts you want, JBF, I know what sin is. God held up the worlds and kept them spinning on the first Sabbath, but the Bible says He rested. If you can't handle a paradox, you'll have trouble understanding Scripture.

The King of glory stooped low to take humanity. Rude and forbidding were His earthly surroundings. His glory was veiled, that the majesty of His outward form might not become an object of attraction. He shunned all outward display. Riches, worldly honor, and human greatness can never save a soul...

Baloney and sophistry. I stand by my original statement. No verbose dancing or dodging required.

What exactly was finished?

Why do people say things like this? Turning grace into a license to sin is not synonymous with denying the Lord Jesus. There are other ways to deny Him.

And I'll leave you with this: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalms 51:10)

Who could've seen this coming? I've never met a mean Christian yet who didn't try to excuse it from Scripture.

Jesus is the Ladder.

Theological hobby horsemanship. Sin is the transgression of the law. If Jesus broke the Sabbath, He sinned, and is therefore disqualified as Savior.

You're kinda mean. Kindness and gentleness are fruits of the Spirit.
