Some have dared to go on BR. This is very disturbing to me.
I feel that God is Almighty and we cannot change His nature and we cannot change His rules. And His rule is that we are to love Him and obey Him. Some make is SOUND like obedience is not necessary, and some come right out and state this.
I'm on another forum where this is said many times...I think you're on there too.
You see how I'm scolded. WHY am I scolded for saying that we are to obey God?
I'm told this is "works"....which it isn't, and, anyway, what's wrong with works as long as they're done AFTER salvation. (works do not save).
Amen! If Jesus "fulfilled" everything, why are we asked to fulfill anything?
Great point.
Right. Which is why it took God to forgive us our sins and make an eternal covenant...because only God cannot sin.
Good analogy.
Sure. Just like we're told that we're to walk in the spirit.
Yes. But Romans says to NOT walk in the FLESH, but to walk in the spirit.
We like to forget about the flesh part...
Romans 8:12-14
12So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—
13for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
I find nowhere in the N.T. that states we are not to follow the law.
