Paul and the Law Because Paul taught that one is saved by grace through faith rather than law keeping his enemies accused him of teaching that a Christian had a free license to sin. Paul gave the death blow to that argument in verse 1 of Romans 6. He went on to say: Rom. 6:15 “What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” Can God’s Word get any clearer that we are not under law but under grace (verse 15)? And can God’s Word get any clearer that because were are under grace and not the law that this is not a license for free sinning? True Christians do not practice sin because they follow the law of love which comes from the heart. Notice Paul says in verse 17 “but ye have obeyed from the heart”. Those who claim to be saved and continue living a life full of sin are false professors and their actions prove that they are still servants of sin rather than a servants of righteousness just as the above verses declare. Those who are truly saved obey from the heart out of love for God and mankind. As a result their righteousness far exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees who were trying to be righteous by the deeds of the law. nlbc |

Jn:14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments Once again Claudia, understanding the phrase "my commandments" is the key to understanding this verse. Also, a verse you seem to ignore, as was brought out before is Duet. 5:2. Just before Moses gave the 10 commandments to the children of Israel he says,"The Lord did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with all of us who are alive today." God commanded Abram to leave his homeland and he did, "So Abram departed as the Lord instructed..." Gen. 12:4 He obeyed Gods commandments as he knew them, but he knew nothing about the covenant or commandments giving to Moses and the children of Israel. I cannot find Abram keeping the 7th day sabbath in Genesis. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Well Tom, thats all her cult has is the law. The word is clear when contexually understood. It is passed away. We are warned in Galatians not to be lawkeepers. verse 18 says it all "18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” When you are brainwashed you can not accept it.
