And do you know of any man that does that 24hrs a day... Show me a man who says he does not sin and you will see a liar. But there is no sin in Christ, it is done paid for finished, blotted out as far as teh east is from teh west.Paul said that if you will walk in the Spirit, you will not sin.
That is not what it says. It says that the man who says he has no (indwelling) sin deceives himself and the truth is not in him.Show me a man who says he does not sin and you will see a liar.
Have you considered marks that the 10 commandments embody every aspect of love presented in brief?
The height, the depth, the width....all its implications and connections are within those ten words.
Jesus is a living example of their application because they reflect none other than God himself.
No wonder it is Satans studied intent to misrepresent, to diminish, to replace, to bury them under religious garbage, ultimately get rid of them and yet they will be the standard by which God judges the world at the appointed time.
It should be clear that Jesus violated the letter of the sabbath day law (found in Exodus 20:10) when He claimed to be working on the sabbath day (John 5:17 and context).
No just writing it as it is.That is not what it says. It says that the man who says he has no (indwelling) sin deceives himself and the truth is not in him.
But you are pitting 1 John 1:8 against 1 John 3:9 and against 1 John 3:6 w/ 1 John 2:17.
Your view of the 10 Commandments is restricted marks. It was this same view that prompted the religious leaders of Jesus day to add their own views to the Commandments peddling them as if they were God's.I don't think the 10 commandments address what to do if . . . there is one sandwich, and we are both hungry. Under the 10 commandments, there is no direction. But under the law of love, I give it to you.
Much love!
That's wanting something that's not yours. Under the 10 Commandments, I'm fine to eat my sandwich, under love, I give it to you.Your view of the 10 Commandments is restricted marks.

In regard to your sandwich illustration....consider 'thou shalt not covet'
What he was violating was the additional rules the religious folk tacked onto the Commandments.
If in fact Jesus had violated God's Commandments on just one point he would not have been without sin but as it stands Jesus was without sin in himself and on this basis he was resurrected.
No just writing it as it is.
Being down that path far to many times, not going there again. Far to many christans claiming to be "perfect", than condemening teh rest of teh world because we dont live up to "their" standard.
God has dealt with it for good, thought teh works that Christ has done, it is finished. get over it.

Yes we start seeking after Christ and asking Him to teach us His truth, instead of seeking after knowledge.There is a practical outworking that comes from being born again of the Holy Spirit.
God sheds abroad His love in the heart (Romans 5:5) and this love is not in word or in tongue only; but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:17-18).
Jesus is not dead He is there for all who seek after Him.
Is ownership of the sandwich yours?....even your very breath, is that yours?That's wanting something that's not yours. Under the 10 Commandments, I'm fine to eat my sandwich, under love, I give it to you.
Much love!
You are muddling things here justbyfaith. If Jesus kept the Spirit of the Law he surely kept its letter. You confuse what the religious leaders tacked onto Gods Law with God's Law.The actual (letter of the) commandment of the sabbath day law is that you shall not do *any* work on it (read Exodus 20:10).
Yet, Jesus, in John 5:17, on the sabbath day, said, The Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
Even though Jesus violate the letter of what was written in Exodus 20:10, He was still without sin.
For with a change of priesthood there was a change also in the law (Hebrews 7:12) from the letter to the spirit (Romans 7:6).
And His coming was not after a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life (Hebrews 7:16).
Fact is, Jesus was and is Lord of the sabbath so He could redefine it according to the spirit (what God intended by it).
But the Pharisees, in abiding by the letter, were not adding to the law in saying that thou shalt not do any work on the sabbath day. For the letter of the sabbath day law said exactly that (Exodus 20:10). They were right to say that Jesus violated the letter of the sabbath.
It was also John's estimation, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, that Jesus broke the sabbath (John 5:18).
Than why don you ask Him....Most definitely.
Jhn 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
And, did I say that He was dead?
Heb 4:12, For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
And yet so few pursue after Him. All these arguments are about ones knowledge of the Bible, it is Him we are supposed to Know, He is the key to the door at His wedding, nothing else will do.@mjrhealth,
Indeed, for it is written,
1Co 8:1, Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1Co 8:2, And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
1Co 8:3, But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

Jesus's reference to working with his Father is in reference to the salvation of the human race, it is not in reference to violating the letter or the spirit of the Sabbath Commandment.
If you use this text as an excuse to violate the Sabbath you are on a slippery slope downwards...why? because the excuse to violate one become the excuse to violate another......if you then pull the card of 'we are not saved by keeping the law' you compound the problem and deceive yourself.
