Calling all Law Keepers.

[GodsGrace]

Yes, that is nonsense.
It also shows a lack of understanding of God's Word.

The misunderstanding comes from hearing such things as ,,,we're not under the law.
Many don't even understand what this means...
But it sure sounds good.

 

[GodsGrace]

I think catholics have been at war with protestants since the Reformation.

Of course.
So?
I still can't steal...

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Do you know why the Reformation was successful?
Because for the first time ever, the Bible was printed in everyone's native language instead of dead Latin.

Have you ever heard me use that term?

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Pick a side.
You can't be a Pontius Pilate and wash your hands of the matter.

 

[GodsGrace]

Have I not said 100x that I post for new Christian's reading along?
This is why.
Lack of understanding of scripture.
We should be careful what we say.

I picked a side.
You can't tell what it is?

 

[GodsGrace]

Have you ever heard me use that term?

No.
But many do and they do t mean it the right way.

Greetings folks, I am new to this forum.
As far as I can tell no one has ever been saved by the law. Only one has ever kept the law. The law is what brings some to the Lord realizing they cannot keep it and seeking salvation. According to the scripture everyone who is accountable knows the law instinctively just as they know instinctively there is God.

Welcome jimd.

This seems to be the question...

You're right of course, the law does not save.
Grace through faith saves.

Once a person is saved, is he required to obey God and/or His commandments, whatever they may be?

You keep using the word required.
I bet you can't even find it in the Bible.

You don't like the word required?
Does God suggest?
Or does He demand?

Check out John 14:15
And many others...

And do you keep all his commandments?
NO!
Just the ones you want.
That's my point.
My point is that you don't have a point.

 

[GodsGrace]

And do you keep all his commandments?
NO!

I don't have a point??

 

[ScottA]

I have no questions.
I don't like what I heard.
Telling you there was no reply is not lashing out.
You never did answer why Jesus spoke in parables.
I know why,,,just wondering if you knew to continue the conversation.
No problem.

?

?

?

?

No questions...really?

As I said, I answered why Jesus spoke in parables already. Do you need me to quote that too?

Only one has ever kept the law.

Job?

Thanks Gods Grace. Yes, of course we are required to obey the law, only now that we are saved we are credited with perfect obedience by grace through faith that is accompanied by works. In other words Jesus makes it possible the same way He makes salvation possible.

Job?

:)

 

[Dcopymope]

Job?

(Job 23:10-12) "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. {11} My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. {12} Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food."

I'm assuming this is one of the versus you are referring to. Assuming this is even referring to him keeping the law. Tell me, you ever wonder why it wasn't Job's blood that atoned for our sins since Job kept the law as you suggest? Can a created being claim to reconcile unto himself for redemption that which he did not create? After all, Jesus Christ is the word made flesh who is before all and spoke all into existence in six days. The sacrifice first had to be one made without hands unblemished from the world due to the original sin in the garden. What made Jesus the perfect sacrifice was about much more than just fulfilling the law.
