Re: Jesus said "If you love me, keep my commandments"
Tim,
Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
You haven't done your home work, Tim;
but believed "many shall come"... "to deceive".
Ye and you are both oft used in the same verse;
Denotes the allegoric chanGe from law to grace.
Eg: John 8:32
YE shall know the truth and
the truth shall make YOU free.
Eg: 1Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that YE have suffered a while, make YOU perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [YOU].
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
Re: Jesus said "If you love me, keep my commandments"
Hey Good + Evil Buddy,
Grace & Peace unto YOU from God & Son Unlimited.
Jesus: was made under the law: Galatians 4
Christ: is the end of the law: Romans 10:4
Ye are not under the law(Jesus),
but under grace(Christ), if led of the Spirit.
Perhaps ye are not led of the Spirit(Grace),
but led of the Ghost(Law). "God is a Spirit"!
God is merciful, not merciless like Law.
God is perfect, not imperfect like Law.
The law was a schoolmaster: Galatains.
What sort of schoolmaster was the law?
The sort that failed every student: Romans 9:31.
The sort that leads to false Christs & Deception.
Do ye really think the Law would lead ye to Grace?
Now that would be as Darkness leading ye to Light.
Pst: It's Light that makes Darkness flee;
Not Darkness that makes Light flee. Hell-o!
God said: Let there be "light": Gen 1;
And Solomon said it's "understanding": get it;
And that understanding is "grace glory": Prov 4.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
