Jesus replaced God's Law with the Law of Love. Jesus Christ said He came not to nullify the law but to fulfill it. People do not understand the word "fulfill". If you fulfill and obligation you are no longer subject to that obligation. If you buy a car and make payments on it until the loan is paid off you have fulfilled that obligation. Do you continue to make payments on the car after you have paid it off? Of course not. No mortal person could ever pay off the debt owed to God's Old Testament Law. God gave the 10 Commandments and His law to the Hebrews (the Jews) not the gentiles. When Jesus arose from the grave He had fulfilled the OT law for everyone, Jew and gentile alike this includes everyone including the atheists of the world, everyone. He replaced the old law with the Law of Love. By accepting Jesus Christ as your Savour you are saved by that Law of love. If you do not have Jesus Christ as your Saviour you are still under the OT law. The Jews do not accept Jesus as their Messiah and therefore are still under the Old Law as all who do not believe in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:4 verifies this. If you claim to be a Christian but continue to attempt to live under the OT law you are saying Jesus died for nothing. The Law of Love is found in Matthew 22: 36 -39 and summed up in verse 40.

(Ecclesiastes 12:13) The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole obligation of man. The initial preaching was to ONLY the Jews...and only later to the Gentiles starting with Cornelius...Acts ch. 10

Thinker, quote: "Jesus replaced God's Law with the Law of Love." Jesus replaced the Mosaic law, but The Ten Commandments which is another Law written by God was never replaced. If you think so, you are encouraging people to disobey The Ten Commandments without consequences. Where do you get those ideas from? It's certainly not from Scripture. Romans 3:31 "Do we then overthrow the Law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the Law."

Someone who lives, saves, teaches and loves the way Jesus did.

Jenny Rizzo, you misunderstand Matthew 22:36-40. The 10 commandments were replaced by the two commandments of Jesus Christ. for instance, if you love your neighbor you will not covet what they have. If you love your neighbor you will not murder them, If you love your neighbor you will not steal from them. Do I need to go more. The 10 commandments are except for the first two are negative however with Jesus commandments they are all positive. Romans 10:4 affirms this.

Thinker show me in The Bible where it says Jesus says it ok for you to fuck your own mother like you told people its ok to do. You pervert the ways and words of God and twist them for your own demented pleasure!

Linda I never said it is OK to do ones own mother. It does not say so directly in the Bible. Study and understanding what the Bible says is necessary. In the Old Testament in Leviticus 18 it gives a list of those someone should not have relationship with. However the world was populated twice through incest. There is incestous marriages in the Bible such as Abraham married his half sister. Jacob married his first cousins. When Jesus arose from the grave He removed the OT law for all Christians (Romans 10:'4) Now it also says, and I paraphrase, If something is lawful but someone thinks it is a sin, to that person it is a sin" Where there is no law there can be no violation. Now, it is not readily accepted by society but if a mother and son desire to engage in sexual relations and they are in agreement and is done with love then there is no sin. I do not twist the word, but I do my best to understand what is said and how it is in alignment with the word of the Bible. This comes only through study and understanding what is said. Titus 1:15

You either believe The Bible or you don't. You admit having seen God's law in Leviticus and you choose to ignore it and make up lies to suit your own perverted desires you mother fucker! You said you didn't say its o.k. to fuck your own mother then said it again! You liar! And I'm sure some of you would like to throw away the old Testament, but there is a reason God wrote it. He is the same yesterday today and forever! The old testament still applies and you'd fuck your way to hell if your dick still worked. Have you ever thought maybe that's why God cut you off? Because you were perverting HIS laws? I was molested by stepfathers too who would probably claim they loved me but they and you disgust me! And you will be one of those who would be better off if a millstone be hanged about your neck and tossed into the sea for the way you have harmed his little ones. If you haven't done so with your own hands and dick you have through your perverted preaching! You and other perverted animals like you disgust me! I advocate for chemical castration for anyone who fucks their own child! Hell, no wonder your family doesn't want you around! I wouldn't either! I'd be protecting them from you at any cost!

"Someone who lives, saves, teaches and loves the way Jesus did." Then, there are no true Christians. Not one person on earth lives by Christ's NT Teachings. All Christians consciously make decisions and consciously ignore his NT teachings and expectations every day. So, there you have it. Christianity is a cult full of 100% frauds and hypocrites.

"Christianity is a cult full of 100% frauds and hypocrites." Can't argue with that.

The fictional bible stories are silly, yes. But for Linda, it does say this: ADAM is the First Man. EVE is the first woman and all people came from Eve "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." So, if that is how it is set up, then here is the scenario: Adam and Eve had their kids, then what? Then NOTHING but direct incestual relationships could follow to perpetuate mankind. Brothers doing sisters, Father doing Daughters, Mother doing Sons. The Bible's own silly words and silly stories state that very scenario, and there is no escaping it. And, of course, it it 100% complete and utter nonsense -- which every Thinking Person already knows. You can be as upset about it as you like, Linda, even coming here and calling people foul, vulgar names (like you often do here) -- but the words come directly from the OT section in your Cult Book -- Genesis 3:20, to be precise.

Warewolf87, quote: Someone who lives, saves, teaches and loves the way Jesus did." Love is the fulfilling of the Law. Romans 13:10 "Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." Now, going against the Law is to bring hate and rebellion, just like OrangeDon and Chicaoan are doing - expressing their hate and disrespectful attitude towards God's Law.

Very good answer.

But what did Jesus himself say ? (Luke 4:8) In reply Jesus said to him: ?It is written, ?It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.?? Jesus is to be obeyed, but not worshipped.

Opps you JW is showing. we are to both worship and obey Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Lord God. He is one part of the triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Word is Jesus Christ, not a god such as your bible states in the Book of John.

Thinker. As pugwashjw stated, Jesus did not want to be worshipped. He always gave the glory to his Father Jehovah God. He is not part of a trinity and never considered himself equal to his father.

Only one group has this quality worldwide...J.W's Not the RCC, because they have subdivisions, with different practices...e.g. Russian Orthodox, High Church of England etc. They ' olay' at being united with their ' get togethers' but the hierarchy are split.. And Islam does what?

You wouldn't want to bet your life on that statement would you? No, I didn't think so.

There is only one original sin. All other sins fall into this one sin. Hint: Adam committed this sin with Eve's help.

How do you follow God's Word? Just reading it in the Bible may gie you some knowledge but unless you understand every word and what that word meant at the time of writing and to whom it was written and why then you do not understand God's Word. Not knowing God's word had gotten too many well meaning Christians in a lot of trouble.

If you "adhere" only to the scriptures of the Bible as your " only source for guidance" you will soon be led astray for you will not know what the Word of God says. You must study and learn the meanings of the words used in their original usage, How they are used in context to what Is being said in that chapter or chapters. You should read and study those books that were not included such as the Book of Enoch and the book or Adam and Eve, the Gospel of Mary just to name a few. Read books such as The Royal Law of Liberty: Living in freedom under Christ's law of Love by Darwin Chandler and others. The Bible is a good start but that is only the beginning of your studies.

Hi "Thinker," I lost your comment in my feedback. Good thing I found it, though. Quote: "If you "adhere" only to the scriptures of the Bible as your " only source for guidance" you will soon be led astray for you will not know what the Word of God says." Prove me wrong! It should be that simple if you know what you're saying. What you are suggesting is to find another alternative to replace the Bible. Guess what? There is none like the Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 states that All-Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is useful for teaching, for reproof and for correcting in order for the man or woman of God to be equipped for every good work.

Quote: "Read books such as The Royal Law of Liberty: Living in freedom under Christ's law of Love by Darwin Chandler and others." My paycheck is bigger than Darwin Chandler, but nowhere close to the knowledge of God's prophets and disciples.

I have never said to replace the Bible with any other bible. I say if you do not understand what is said and how it is said and to whom and for what reason it was said in the understanding of the words at the time of writing one can be very misled by what they read. It takes much more than just the Bible to understand the Bible.

All you need to know is what God is saying to you, now! And the instruction for that is in James 1:5. It says if any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God (not 20 other books - GOD) who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him. YOU THINKER are obviously not asking GOD for direction. Satan is already in your head telling you you can do whatever you want! Because that's what you want to hear, and that is the guidance you seek!

I understand what you say, but the Lord God has been training and teaching me for over 30 years. There are many commentaries on the Bible some good some not good. To understand the Bible it is necessary to understand what is said. Just reading the Bible will give help but often not understanding. I have probably read the Bible through more times than you have lived but I have also researched and continually learn from those more knowledgeable than me. I do not read Hebrew nor Greek so I must rely on those whom do. I will read a hundred books and more if they will help me to under stand the Lord God better. I refuse to stick my head in the sand.

Thinker, quote: "I have never said to replace the Bible with any other bible." Actually, you said: "If you "adhere" only to the scriptures of the Bible as your " only source for guidance" you will soon be led astray" People who adapt themselves to the teachings of the Bible have proper instruction. It's all about Holy living to speak of the Bible. Transforming and renewing our minds is done with the Bible. Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

Linda Joy, quote: "All you need to know is what God is saying to you, now!" we cannot know what God is saying to us if we put away the Bible and not follow its teachings as Thinker suggests. That's not what biblical Christians are taught. John 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth."

Thinker, quote: "I understand what you say, but the Lord God has been training and teaching me for over 30 years." What you are teaching here is not biblically inspired. Christians cannot be sanctified without the Bible. Adhering to the Bible brings completeness, sincerity, soundness and uprightness. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

A Christian is a footstep follower of Christ. Followers of the Christian religion base their beliefs on the life, teachings, and death of Jesus Christ. Christians believe in one God that created heaven, earth, and the universe.

According to whom? YOU?

Jehovah sets the standards from which WE pull ourselves back....We always ask for help in this, through prayer. HE will not act unless we show a willingness to do so.

The only special task is to abide in the doctrine of Christ. 2 John 1:9 "Whoever goes beyond, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son."

" Once saved, always saved"...is not quite true... (Zephaniah 2:3) Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, Who observe his righteous decrees. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah?s anger. PROBABLY????

pugs, the biblical way requires obedience. Hebrews 5:9 "And being made perfect, He became the author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that obey Him;" The problem here is that Christendom has a monstrous way of teaching Once Saved, Always Saved. Most likely they will say you cannot lose your Salvation, despite of your sinful life. In the strictest sense, it sounds more like Satan is inspiring them to sin even more.

Someone that really accepts Jesus would likely do what he says. Matthew 7:21-23 (James 2:18-20) Nevertheless, someone will say: ?You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.? 19 You believe that there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder. 20 But do you care to know, O empty man, that faith without works is useless? (Romans 2:13) For the hearers of law are not the ones righteous before God, but the doers of law will be declared righteous. (James 1:22) However, become doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning.

Texasescimo, I agree with the verses you added. Why do so-called Christians say 'Lord, Lord' and ignore the teachings of the Bible? (Luke 6:46)
