OkCornel: I dodged nothing, it is rather you who has Ran Away with the Post and Changed your Post! For the issue is not about "the application of The Law to the gentiles" but Whether The Law has been amended or changed/whether Christ can be Under The Law that He should fulfill it, which have been rebutted. So this is a Fresh Issue in proof of the fact that you do not have any valid counter. So all is settled and let us "Truly Love God and our neighbour as The Law hath commandeth, if we want!" |

truespeak: In other words, you can’t show us anywhere in the 613 laws/instructions in the Mosaic law where the Israelites and strangers residing among them should turn the other cheek when they’re struck? I thought Jesus didn’t bring any new law… How about this one? John 13 v 34-35; 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” |

Dtruthspeaker: I changed my post?! Or you conveniently edited that part out of your reply! I can’t deal with such level of dishonesty. Now no running around, does the Law also apply to gentiles not resident in Israel? Acts 15 is the death knell. The law of Christ, not the Law of Moses is the standard of the new covenant. Matthew 5 is another example where Jesus explicitly stated what he expects of his followers, be you Israelite or gentile. |

Dtruthspeaker: Can you show us where the Law of “Vengeance is mine” states “turn the other cheek?” Let’s examine Deuteronomy 32 in context just to be sure people still understand basic English here… |

OkCornel: Do you not know Law is from God and All of God's Laws are Godly and Divine? And that He has Selected Persons whom were first called Levites, Lawers/Lawyers and Entrusted them with His Laws? Therefore non Lawers Must be at Loss as to the Full and True Meaning of His Laws, but that Can Not be said for Lawers, for that is what it means to be a Levite/Lawer. We work from the Throne of God and We know the Heart of God for He Reveals it to us. Now as it was the Duty of the Levites to Reveal, Interpret and Explain the Law, so it is our Duty to do so, so that all may know the True Understanding of the Law and Keep it! It is an Enormous Responsibility which no True Lawer takes Lightly. For to whom much is Given, much is Expected! Hence the Woe to Law(y)ers who not only fail in this Duty but teach Errors and Wrongs! Woe again, I say! This are the things Peter understood hence his statement! |

Deuteronomy 32 v 30-38; 30 How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the Lord had given them up? 31 For their rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede. 32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are filled with poison, and their clusters with bitterness. 33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras. 34 “Have I not kept this in reserve and sealed it in my vaults? 35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.” 36 The Lord will vindicate his people and relent concerning his servants when he sees their strength is gone and no one is left, slave or free. 37 He will say: “Now where are their gods, the rock they took refuge in, 38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings. Let them rise up to help you! Let them give you shelter! This is why I like to read the scriptures in context. Someone ignorantly quoted verse 35 in this chapter and claimed it’s a law. Abeg Jesusjnr2020 and any other reasonable/honest person, how many laws can you see in this passage? 2 Likes |

OkCornel:Lol! Paul said that? He was under Christ's law? I hope those who are loyal to Paul's teachings are able to see this, because all they can see when it comes to Christ in Paul's teachings is grace. They never see the "Law of Christ", needless saying the need to be under it as Paul said he was. I pray they'd follow his example here. Thanks for sharing. God bless. 1 Like 1 Share |

truespeak: I asked you a simple question. Is Paul’s letter merely legal text, or are they divinely inspired scriptures? A simple straightforward answer will suffice. So is it? A) Legal text B) Divinely inspired scriptures - 2 Peter 3 v 15-16 C) All of the above 1 Like |

OkCornel:Lol! Now you'd understand what Jesus meant when He advised us not to cast our pearls before the "swine". They don't the value of such treasures and what it cost you to get them, so they'd trample on it as thrash and come after you, not just with one, but two monikers, lol! |

OkCornel: See how you willingly lie and falsely accuse, is not your posts to me at 12:05pm written thus? Duplicated hereunder! OkCornel: Is Acts 15 not the Application of The Law to the gentiles, which is a Change of Post ⁿfor the issue is not about "the application of The Law to the gentiles" but Whether The Law has been amended or changed/whether Christ can be Under The Law that He should fulfill it, which have been rebutted. See now you resorted to lying, false accusation and cheating just because you do not have any Truthful Answer to Counter my response and yet you expect that God will open His Holy House to you and you did not hesitate to take the opportunity to Lie, make false accusations and cheat all at the same moment of time, so how would you not hate instructions of righteousness whilst holding on to your love of sinning? The Records bear witness of your Lies and All and I do hope people of Truth will do come to tell you so. |

Dtruthspeaker: Jesusjnr2020, you see what I’m talking about? This guy is very predictable. He would accuse me of lying all in a bid to dodge the poser from Acts 15. I’m not dumb, I’m aware of all their tactics. Jesusjnr, did you notice any editing of that post from my end? 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker; Speak the truth, you won’t die. Why did you dodge the question I posed on Acts 15? Is the law meant for gentiles not resident in Israel? Please read Acts 15 and tell us.

Re: Many Christians Only Know The Law Of Moses But Not That Of Christ by truespeak: 1:23pm On Jun 22, 2021 |
OkCornel: See how you keep running all over the place You Never asked me to show you where turn the other cheek is in the 613 Laws but you said OkCornel: To which i answered and showed you the Law of Love the Lord thy God, which of course had flowed from my first having shown you that the Galatians you quoted in your earlier Post fell under "Love your Neighbour" now you turn around and ask for 613 Laws Still not a problem and I answer you thus: Christ has Already answered this for me when He said "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God..This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." ALL THE LAW and ALL THE PROPHETS hang and stand on these TWO COMMANDMENTS including the 613 Laws/Instructions and the Instruction to turn the other cheek! Meaning they are All Covered by and Under this TWO COMMANDMENTS, therefore you still fall! OkCornel: Another question, still not a bother, I knew you would run here Again, I say Christ has answered this question in that it still hangs on the First and Great Commandment of Love the Lord thy God, for if you Love Him you keep His Commandment, and His Instruction not just this Alone but all His Commandment/Instructions, therefore the Commandments Still Cover this Commandment and is not a Departure from it, rather it gets its Authority from it! So Christ has answered you Already Beforehand Any more questions? |
Re: Many Christians Only Know The Law Of Moses But Not That Of Christ by truespeak: 1:35pm On Jun 22, 2021 |
OkCornel: You freely asked your question so I am free to answer it in any manner I please and I have answered you, the fact you do not like it does not preclude it from being my answer, I am not bound to please you by my answers! |

truespeak: This one is trying to be clever by half. According to you, Christ did not bring any new law, so prior to when He instructed his followers to TURN THE OTHER CHEEK, can you show us anywhere in the Scriptures before Christ came, where this Law of TURN THE OTHER CHEEK was given? Deuteronomy 32 v 30-38 is not a law for anyone who can understand basic english and is not intellectually dishonest. Mr Truespeak aka Dtruthspeaker, we are patiently awaiting your response. |
