I would respectfully make one small point. Art is a gift from God. Look at how he paints the flowers, the birds and the forests. Look at the beauty, colour and music he creates. Dancing before the Lord is good, singing is an art and it is good. God is the ultimate artist. Art is a form of communication, and what he has made testifies to his glory. Think of how certain music can create a sacred moment with God. 1 Samuel 16:23 "Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul,..."
1 Chronicles 15:16-17 and 1 Chronicles 25:1-5 both describe the appointing of musicians for the temple.
I would submit that art is a blessing from God as a gift to us and a way that we can worship him. Thank you brother.

the law in brief:
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:36-40)

17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. (Mark 10:17-19)

Lord Jesus says this
Is there a reason why you avoid quoting from Galatians 3 directly, but you kept going back to the 4 gospels?

the health.
the disease is the result of the sin, or maybe God has a plan to heal you and that to be a sign for those who want to see. you can't heal a man without God. that's why it's so hard to heal a man without surgery. the sinful body member must be cut. bible quotes:
Your statement doesn't even agree with scripture.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (James 1:15)
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Matthew 5:29)
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. (John 11:4)

why we die or suffer?
we die or suffer because we are stray from the path of God, we live in sin. nobody dies, suffers in vain, you die or suffer, as a sinner or as a martyr of God, and everybody sees that you are a martyr of God. bible quote:
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matthew 7:9-11)
God is not a sadist.

poor people.
if i ruled the world, there would be no poor people. it's our duty to help them, not a little help, but help to live well. what i want is covered by the words of Lord Jesus. who is against that? satanists. even God is an obstacle to this idea because we don't respect his law. this should be done for poor people and any human, a bible to read it and help to live well. bible quotes:
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Matthew 22:39)
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. (Matthew 5:42)
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (John 7:24)

drinking alcohol, smoking, taking drugs.
it's better not to do these. your life will go from bad to worse. bible quote:
13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. (Luke 1:13-15)
john the baptist. he didn't drink alcohol, and the bible said, that is good.

sports, arts, movies, music, gambling, gaming.
all these are incompatible with christianity. bible quotes:
16 because it is written: “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” (1Peter 1:16)
7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. (1Timothy 4:7)
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Exodus 20:4)
what should a christian do all day? he should work for God. always think like this: i am a slave of God.

"intelligence", "astrology", or any kind of guessing the future.
some people mime intelligence. they don't know a single true fact about us, about life. all we know is from experience. even mendeleev's periodic table is a deduction. it is logical, it is the only explanation, but no one saw an atom, an electron, a proton, a neutron ever. any form of superiority to your neighbor is a wrong attitude. bible quotes:
24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; (Isaiah 44:24-25)
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (Acts 1:7)
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. (Psalm 111:10)
25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: (Matthew 20:25-27)

animals.
in the kingdom of God, there will be no killings. we must exercise from here to not kill animals. it's better not to eat meat in excess. don't forget, we need meat for proteins, but you can find proteins in some fruits and vegetables. bible quotes:
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. (Isaiah 65:25)
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. (Isaiah 66:3)
i never understood how a man can love animals, but not poor people. it is an anomaly.

earthquakes, floods, fires, tornadoes, accidents, pandemics etc.
they all happen when people don't listen to God. bible quote:
13 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:1-5)

if you think God asks for impossible, so it is. bible quote:
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. (Mark 10:26-27)

in christianity, the law is important, the love is important, the fear of God is important. bible quotes:
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15)
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. (Acts 2:43)

sins, forgiveness. bible quotes:
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. (Matthew 12:31)
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:14-15)
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

don't love your life.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (John 12:25)

don't hate people, no matter what they did to you, for your sake i say this.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:43-44)

don't resist evil ones.
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 5:39)

don't judge.
Judge not, that ye be not judged. (Matthew 7:1)

read the bible, matthew, chapters 5, 6 and 7, learn how to behave in christianity.
Please pray for me to love my enemies & especially forgive past wrongs. Also to quit my e-cig. Numbers 6;24-26 🙏

Well hello there!
Have you read Romans 7:14-25?

When you walk into a room of people you've never met for the first time do you say- "Hello"
Or do you present your entire detailed theology about how they should live all in one go?

For myself, I don't communicate well in "thees & thous". It makes me feel like I'm trapped in a strict Victorian boarding school.
If there is a large portion of scripture written in that sanctimonious babble I become exceedingly bored and tend to skim past it.

Are servants to all or to some.

1 cor 9

21To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that by all possible means I might save some.
23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.

Is running a sport

buddy, the law must be kept

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15)
I agree and it agrees with scripture. When we take our sin to the Lord they are wiped out. Why would we want to sin? It is enough to know our sinful natures leads us to sin we don't want. But we can't want to follow Christ and want to follow sin.

There's a better way. You can put your faith entirely in the Person and finished work of Jesus Christ; His life, death, burial and resurrection, and you can be a redeemed sinner who is free from the Law. :)
Now that you have given him the only answer how we receive grace (the help of the Holy Spirit) that brings victory over sin, the world, the flesh, and the Devil (Christ Crucified), stand fast in the faith and don't change. I have unblocked you.
