Surely people may twist it, get the word twist meaning to take it out of context meaning if the words of paul are placed in context it would be understood. elated177:paul wrote deep things of the Christian faith, so unbelivers might twist it to condemn themselves. Was Deuteronomy written to you? The only way the old testament can be understood is through the teachings of the new testament. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. All the old testament from Gensis to Malachi are bearing witness of christ. In the old testament it was the law that was their guide but that law was only pointing to Jesus. |

livingchrist: Were did I write that homosexuality , lesbianism is OK? All the sin ever known to man is covered by the 10commandments. Homosexuality, lesbianism, adultery all fall under thou shall not commit adultery. It's as simple as that. Liar. No where did Jesus say his 2 laws are greater rather he equated them as been the same laws with that the prophets and the people had known. |

livingchrist: You are an idiot. I have posted this evidence over 10times showing repeatedly that the commandments to love God and ones neighbour is to obey the 10commandments. I would not repeat myself. You deserve the insults you get becos you are craftly and a liar. I argued with Myers I showed him Bible verses in new testament that instructs us to obey God's law and commandments and I asked him weather he has wonder which laws does Bible verses are talking about. He responded and ask me to explain that he also thinks about it. That shows someone who has sense and wants to learn not a kom kom like you that would lie and twist God's word even when the truth is in your front. |

livingchrist: Adultery. Clown are you using modern english to define God's law? If you had sense you will know that the bible was written in Latin and the word translated adultery is from the word "adulterare " which means to pollute, defile, alter. So what matters to the Bible is that weather a man or woman is married or they are both single, ones they engage in sexual contact they have been defiled or polluted as long as they are not both married to each other. Trying hard to twist God's word as usual. Although both words come from Latin and share the same first five letters, adultery is from adulterāre (“to pollute, defile, commit adultery”), a word formed ultimately from the Latin elements ad- “to, near” and alter “other.” English adult comes from adultus, which is the past participle of the Latin word adolescere (“to grow up”). |

blueAgent:God writing the ten commandment with his finger is part of the glory of the old testament, he did it to glorify the law. Every other part of the law were extensions of the ten commanment, the ten commandment is like a summary of the over 614 laws. Paul was specifically referring to the law written on the table of stones giving to moses. The old covenant has passed away with all its laws, the new has come but however the new covenant open up the old testament and shows it's TRUE meaning however, Through the new covenant the law is fulfilled and established. |

budaatum: Understand me. Christ died to save everyone of us from eternal death which Adam and Eve brought upon us. We are all sinners from when we are born to when we take that decision to fellow christ. What christ death did was to free us from that penalty of our past sins and that of Adam which we inherited its penalty been death. And also to teach us how not to break the law. |

blueAgent: Mark 12:29-31 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. smh who is the liar now. Anyway I m done with you |

I asked series of questions in the write up, can you answer just one to prove you're truly for righteousness? For example, God is destroying people who don't believe (trust) in Him. So how do you reconcile that with the idea that God will spare those whose rebellion brought all of us into this situation? blueAgent: |

blueAgent: I wish to know your interpretation of this verse. John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” |

The statement reads "as i have loved you, love, that you love one another" The two laws Israelites knew and taught their children is love for God and for neighbours {Mark 12:28-34} the Jews were contemplating on the issue of who should be regarded as a neighbour so Jesus them told an unpalatable parable of a Samaritan who came to the rescue of a Jew. Luke 10:29-37 The Jews don't have dealings with Samaritans because this people only beleive in the first five books written by Moses so there has always been a dispute over this issue between the two nations. A Samaritan woman who recognized Jesus as a prophet still finds it difficult to agree that the Jews has been right all along! John 4:20:22 So with the parable of the good Samaritan Jesus emphasized that everyone living around you no matter what he or she believes is your neighbour. But as regards the worshipers of the true God there should be a strong bond uniting them as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers, so even though they love all their neighbours their love for individuals sharing the same line of thought with them is greater! Galatians 6:10 Jesus said "Love your neighbour as yourself" is what was written in the Mosaic laws, which means one should treat his neighbour the same way he will like to be treated! Matthew 7:12 But as for Christians Jesus gave us a new law "we must love our fellow believer exactly the same way Jesus loves us" which means a believer should be prepared to die (if the need arises) for his fellow believer!

Myer: What is interpretation do you need ? This is not a new commandments, as you may assume , do not be confused with the use of the word new. New in the sense that Jesus told them to love each other as he has loved them . Even a child will understand that this instruction to love one another is not different from the commandments to love God and to love ones neighbour which is same as one obeying the 10commandments. Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Many verses prove that this instruction was not entirely new or a different command from the one the people knew. Jesus only expanded or elaborated it using his love for his disciples as an example. 1 John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 2 John 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. |

livingchrist: More crap. If you had sense you would know that even in the new convenant the law still stands. Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: |

blueAgent: I don't think his death was already destined. And his death does not "free us from the penalty of the law" because the wages of sin is still death. Christ's teachings are far more valuable to humans than Christ's death, or Herod would have just killed him as a baby and your sins would have been washed away as some believe, when the truth is, in order to sin no more you must learn from Christ and understand Christ's teaching and practise what Christ taught or you'd just go on sinning and sinning and sinning. The text we read was written after the fact to justify what happened, and though some was written as prediction of that which would happen, it clearly wasn't and was a spin on what had happened in the past. Like propaganda, actually. To promote Christianity. |

blueAgent:See? Even you say the law still stands, so the "penalty of the law" must stand too, and only by learning and understanding the teaching of Christ can one be free from breaking the law and thereby be free of the penalty of the law. Basically, if I do not commit murder, the penalty for not committing murder can not apply to me, just as the penalty for not loving my enemies would not apply to me if I love my enemies. And it is not the death of Jesus that would stop me committing murder or loving my enemies, but me accepting the teachings of Christ as my guiding Light. 1 Like |
