The law can not and will not help you be sanctified. The law is a few sins. given to expose that we have sinned and fallen short.
If we go to the law as a means of seeing what sins we are or not committing, we will think we are righteous when we are not. Much like the pharisee did.
If we want to overcome sin, we need to look to the law of love.. For only this can help us overcome sin.
Absolute carnal secular bovine excrement.
There is no such thing as the law of love.
Human love is nothing more than hormonal secretions and social conditioning.
THIS IS WHY so many in America are confused about themselves. They have no standard by which they may define love.
The Bible tells us THAT STANDARD is the LAW of Moses.
"
I did not come to abolish the LAW. I came to fulfill it." (Jesus as quoted by Matthew 5:17)
Please do not attempt to tell anyone how Jesus fulfilled the LAW if you don't know the LAW in the first place.
We are self-righteous "
like the pharisees did"?
The pharisees had rejected the LAW of Moses even as the post-modern church today has rejected it. The church, like the pharisees before it, has adopted satanic pagan traditions to justify their wickedness even as they claim God smiles happily when they put their hands upon every filthy thing they desire -
as the pharisees did before them.
THERE ARE TWO LAWS.
One is the LAW of Moses, also called the law of Grace because it was written by God's own hand.
One is the law of works, composed by the Jewish rabbinate during their captivity in Babylon. This is the law which has also spawned Jewish tradition, which even Jews today may bind themselves to - mostly.
Jesus lived every day of His life, ministered, died and walked out of His own tomb, by the LAW. So did the apostles - every one of them.
IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR JESUS, THEN IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
Those who object to the LAW of Moses are more eager to defend SIN, which they falsely define, than they are to embrace that which God has given to us. These are lawless winds of despair and destruction that sweep across our land and lead us to ruin and decimation and death.
NOBODY who looks into the LAW will think of themselves as righteous. Nobody. Try it some time. Make an honest effort.
Have you never lied? Have you never cheated? Have you ever stolen something that didn't belong to you? Have you ever killed an innocent person? (
Many have done so - we call them patriots.)
Everybody who looks into the fake traditions they've invented for themselves, including post-modern church types, will believe they are justified before God WHEN THEY ARE NOT. Hypocrites they are and carnal minded they've become. These are they who cannot see the kingdom of God. They will die in their SIN because they refuse to REPENT of it. (Romans 2:12)
Why do you so wickedly? Why do you defend SIN and hate the LAW?
These are the days predicted by our forebears the prophets of Israel, when men would forsake the good and just LAW of Moses and love passion and self rather than God. They are already living in the lake of fire that will eventually consume them in their own wickedness.
IT IS TIME TO REPENT.
The Day of the Lord is quite near. Indeed it's already at the door. Time is running out. REPENT.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
