The law can't cause me to be cursed. For two reasons. One, I have the Ministry of Jesus always interceding for me in heaven, and two, He has given me His Holy Spirit through which I can keep His Commands that remain to be kept by us, summarized in 'love your neighbor'.
You mean things tied to an old agreement with God that did not provide salvation like 'love your neighbor as yourself', and 'do not show favoritism'? And last time I checked, those things don't provide salvation in this Covenant, either.
Every law can be summarized. Christ did not do away with the 613 Mosaic Laws by summing them up.
You memorize the 613 Mosaic Laws, you write them down, you post them, if it is your intent to obey them...you have brought them into your religion and have abandoned Christ. Convert to Judaism if it is that important to you.
It is sacrilegious to God to divide up the Mosaic Law. Very serious sin that you are putting on yourself... again you are putting yourself in line for that great sin. If you are going to look at the Law....you know them or you have written down, a couple Laws that you are looking at, to obey....for one if you looking to the Mosaic Law to obey....you do not have a choice, you have to obey them all or you are in violation of them all. You will never find a scripture that says it is ok to divide up the Law.
Looking at things that are not technically the Mosaic Law....Walking that fine line, is it worth the risk? The phrase the Ten Commandments does appear in the New Testament. For a very good reason, the Ten Commandments, the Commandments that God called the Ten Commandments....are in chapter 34 of Exodus....and they are actually Mosaic Laws. When the Apostles mention part of the summary of laws in the New Testament they are part of the 14 summary of Laws in Chapter 20 of Exodus. They are not technically the stated Mosaic Laws. And they point out that they are in the teachings of Christ and the Apostles. But still even there you are picking and choosing which one of these summary of laws you want to observe....You are a Christian, do you even have a Sabbath and it is not on Saturday. Since you are on this forum I am going to assume you do not keep the Law regarding engraved images. And if you are married I am going to assume you do not consider your wife as property.
So now lets look at the curse. You say...The law can't cause me to be cursed.
Well you know Galatians 5:4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Now depending what Paul had in mind here...you could fall into that category. How he is using the word justified. Since he had such a struggle to keep the requirements of the Law out of Christianity....He had a big struggle with the Judaizers. He maybe drawing a line in the sand...Most scholars consider this as a very stern warning.
Deuteronomy 27:26: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." If you want to put yourself there, that is your fault. You are cursed if you do some---things in the Book of the Law
Galatians 5:3 And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet stumbles in one
point, has become guilty of all. And the curse of that is punishment.
Galatians 3:1-14 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you:
Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? 4 Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask,
does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
10
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.” 12
The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
If you are using the Mosaic Law as a moral code....the Mosaic Law established that covenant so that would be your covenant with God. Those Laws when you break them are punished in this world, by the wrath of God.
Yes LOL LOL the Mosaic Law did say love your neighbor LOL But ya have to be really weary of that kind of of love....LOL
Mosaic Law....in one of their battles they brought back the captured women to Moses....he gets mad and tells them to separate out the virgins...they did that and killed all the non-virgins, leaving 32,000 virgins. In a culture that had 32,000 virgins, there were probably over 200,000 none virgins....over 200,000 women put to the sword, based on the status of their genitalia. We do not need that kind of love in Christianity
Thinking they deserved it?....well it does not get much better for Jewish women under the Mosaic Law.
