No, I'm not. Again, read John 8:34-36 and 1 John 3:4.
what are his commandments? to love.
Love is the fulfillment of the law. The Ten Commandments are based on love. If you break any of His commandments, you are not showing love. Again, read 1 John 5:2-3, 1 John 2:1-5, John 14:15, and Matthew 5:17-19.
the ten commandments is absolutely old testament. and no i am not under the old testament.
In John 5:39, Jesus said, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." Jesus often quoted from and referred to the Old Testament in his teachings. Again, read Matthew 5:17-19.
see you said the thief on the cross had faith. but that wasnt your argument. your argument was that our actions had to follow. did the thiefs actions follow your roadmap? no he didnt he had faith.
James 2:17 says, "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."
I don't know what you mean by "roadmap." The thief obviously had faith, and that faith led him to ask Jesus to remember him. Him asking was him acting on his faith.
yet you are here trying to take mine and follow you into bondage to my own efforts to please him.
Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Now, read the rest of Hebrews 11. In it, Paul lists numerous Old Testament figures who God considered righteous because of their faith. With each one, he also describes how they showed their faith.
James 2:21-22 says, "Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?"
got a secret for you, he is already pleased with me because i was given his perfection.
Christians are covered with the righteousness of Jesus (Isaiah 61:10). However, this doesn't mean that you can continue in sin after coming to God and still expect to be in Heaven (Hebrews 10:26-27).
oh one last thing, the difference between the old testament and the new testament is easy, old testament your efforts at saving yourself, new testament is he was perfect for me.
That's essentially what I said in my last post.
you are very legalistic, look at all the law you are trying to get me under. is it the letter of the law or the spirit? if there is anything else required he will pay for me when he comes back. now if all your response is going to be to try to get me under the same bondage you are dont bother.
It's clear by your tone and words that you're unwilling to receive this truth. Since you regard the law of God as a burden, I won't waste my time trying to convince you otherwise. I'll pray for you. God bless.
The fact that you think that obeying God is legalism is worrying. I'd recommend you read this: https://www.gotquestions.org/antinomianism.html
