Curse Of The Law part 1 (Learning something from LGF here, xD, i'm 17 just turned 2 weeks ago so please read this whole thing even if I'm wrong, Give me a chance..
And what is sin?
1 JOHN 3
4Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:
for sin is the transgression of the law. 5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Look at verse 8 specially which basically explains Romans 6,
Romans 6 is completely talking about the Ten Commandments and correlating it with other things as the bible often does,
First through, Let's go to Galatians 3
Gal 10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12And the law is not of faith:
but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13Christ hath redeemed us from the
curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed
is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
First off, What's the curse of the law?
Well.. Death
Ezekiel 18:2
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Genesis 2
15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16And the LORD God
commanded (Oh a word that is apparently a burden, and bondage is in a perfect environment, Back to that later) the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
So what is the curse "of the" law, Not the law is a curse, No, the curse OF THE law, so that means the Law has a curse, But the law itself isn't a curse (Romans 7:7) So the curse OF THE law is death, but that curse has a condition, It only activates if the law is broken, The law existed before Adam and Eve, even if you don't want to accept the Ten, God's word is law (Pslam 33:9) So whatever he commands must stand and must be done otherwise death will be the result God, Everything else is unhappinest and death, destruction sadness, fear, and this world, The Ten, and whatever else God commands to do are the same, they may have different purposes however.
Anyway, since we get that, we must understand what the law is even for, Well, To show us we've sinned, The law is like a mirror to show us what we've done wrong, But once Christ comes into our lives the law isn't needed.
1 Timothy
8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9Knowing this,
that the law is not made for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient, for the
ungodly and for sinners,
for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for
menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
If you come under Christ, and God forgives your sin, at that moment are no longer under the law, it has no reason to activate, God has forgiven you, If you do away with the law itself, and not the curse Then All the evil men and women (Including us) are justified to sin, Because sin is the transgression of the law, That can't be, so it must be more.... The law isn't done away with, Our sins are.....
Part two should be coming soon, Godbless and please understand this isn't to attack anyway, But I want us to make it, something we all need to keep in mind, This is about God, not us, if we end up being wrong we should glorify God and be thankful that we have hope, Something I must consider, and so do LGF, and everyone, Not hating, Trying to serve God and JESUS the Holy Spirit.....
Godbless.

Curse of The Law part 2
Now Romans 6.
1What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin, that
grace may abound?
2God forbid.
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
People seem to always skip the whole chapter of this Book, Romans 6 is really interesting tbh, It's talking about how we can be freed from Sin, Letting self die, and letting us be resurrected in newness of life in Christ as he was resurrecting, Being BORN AGAIN.
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life. 5For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6Knowing this, that our
old man is crucified with him, that
the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth
we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
-
So wait, if we die with Christ were free from Sin? what a beautiful Idea, that we no longer have to serve the devil, and that we have hope of resurrection in Christ, But wait, if were free from sin, then what, were no longer under the law, if God takes away our sin and cast it into the bottomless pit
Micah 7:19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Then there is no curse of the law, Because what is the definition of Sin? Transgression of the law, Not according to me, but 1 John 3:4-5
Don't try to say I twisted the scriptures in anyway, Because that's Johns writtens not mine, He said it plainly fight with him, and fight with God because it all came from him originally,
Now let's continue Romans 6.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. (What is the curse of the law as stated earlier? Well Death)
10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
two deaths are mentioned here, One dying to Sin, the other dying physically, and dying the second death, The one we wont come back from, and lastly it talks about Living unto Christ, Paul brings everything out perfectly, No more sin, No more Death, and through Christ you live, We have hope, God forgave our sins, What need is for us to worry about death?
Now for the kicker that people use to discount the law.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members
as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Wait a moment, what does it say "
Sin shall not have dominion over you" Once sin is gone, The is inactive as stated before, Now does that mean we can just go and kill someone now, or break the law, No, we must die daily as Paul brought out.
1 Corinthians 15:3
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord,
I die daily.
Once we come to Christ, ask forgiveness and he will give it.
1 John 1
5This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
If you say we can't keep the law, which we can't on our own power, But if we ask, God will grant us the power, He said so..
John 14:14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Do you doubt him?
do we doubt him? Are you saying Sins so powerful God can't help us to overcome it? No, No way, God has the power to set us free, That's the reason Jesus came to this earth..
Luke 4
18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
We have the power to overcome sin, and the grave, and even the law, because we no longer need it, Not that it's not important, It still stands, Just not for the ones that overcome, and Blessed are they that do..
Revelation 3:21
3Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels
I must ask you, what Gospel do you preach that you seem to always talk about? Is it one where we can't overcome sin? what is that Jesus/God wants us to overcome? Is it sin? you know that to be true, But how can be even know what sin is without the law, or how can we overcome something that God just gave us a solution for by dying, And he did, But it was through his love, Not magical "Grace" that word itself doesn't save us, Nor does law, But the blood of the lamb, None of that takes away grace or the law, But Jesus is the one we must look to most of all, we haven't been telling you the Sabbath is more important then God and his lamb, But that unless you confess your sins (transgression of the law) then how can you even come to Christ, first you must know your sinning, Do you think we do this just to make people worship on a day? what's the point of that, The day can't save, Nor can the law, But without the schoolmaster and the teacher how can we pass the test?
we do we get out of being legalistic? if not to save souls, and bring him to full knowledge of truth.
Matthew
26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed
it, and brake
it, and gave
it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave
it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Jesus blood may save us from sin, But if we have no idea were committing a sin, How can we be forgiven? if you had no knewlege then fine, God will wink as LGF has said, but if truth has been presented, and you reject even the principal of reading it, Then that sin falls upon you, Don't make that mistake, and neither should I, I know haven't read all these post from both sides, I usually skip through them, But I am held accountable for that if truth was shared and I decided to turn a blind eye to it because I was bias.
Let's end this.
Romans 6
15What then? shall we sin (transgression of the law), because we are not under the law,
but under grace? God forbid. 16Know 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?
17But 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.
18Being
then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things
is death.
22But now being made free from sin (Not the law, but Sin), and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23For the wages of sin (transgression of the law) is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Once again, what was said, that "whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
To obey, the very essence of this chapter that people state means we can't keep the law, is telling us to obey, something we shouldn't be able to keep,
GodBless You, I pray this helped you understand our point of view, please show me what you see, But I beg you, use the bible and the holy spirit and not your own understanding, In the end were trying to make it to Heaven,
let's remember that, this isn't about us, It's about Jesus....
And if WE love him, Keep his commandments, all of them...
