So lying, stealing, killing etc are okay now in this guy’s book??????
It sounds OK, so long as you are expressing your love to your victims.
"I covet everything you have including your woman because I love you so much, brother!"
Organized religion ain't what it used to be.
I’ll wager the only commandment he really has a problem with is ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’.
So long as you love all your victims. );-)
I may be wrong , but nowhere does he claim we’re not to obey the commandments. He merely state that we should not use them as a model of our salvation. Salvation came through Christ on the cross, not through the keeping of the laws. The new covenant accomplished what the old covenent could never do. We are saved by grace, not works of our own. This is heresy? I don’t read KJV, and I don’t base my salvation on my following of the old covenant. I guess I’m a heretic.
Its always been my understanding that God laid out what sin was, including the 10 commandments, and we are still judged against that, but through Christ we avoid the penalty of our sins.
Many times sabbatarians say, “Well, if we don’t have to keep the fourth of the ten commandments, that means that we could steal or kill or commit fornication?” Not at all, because God commands Christians under the New Covenant not to do those things. We find the teaching of nine of the ten commandments in the pages of the New Testament. (1) Idolatry is forbidden in Ac. 14.11-15, I Thes. 1.9; (2) Graven images are forbidden in Ac. 17, 19 I Thes. 1.9, I Jn. 5.21; (3) The use of God’s name in vain is forbid¬den in I Tim. 1.19, 20, II Tim. 2.16; (4) Sabbath-keeping is nowhere commanded of Christians, as we have seen; (5) To honor one’s father and mother is enjoined in Eph. 6.1, 2; (6) Killing is forbidden in I Pet. 4.15; (7) Committing adultery is forbidden in I Cor. 6.9, 10; (8) Stealing is forbidden in Eph. 4.28; (9) Bearing false witness is forbidden in Col. 3.9; and (10) Coveting is forbidden in Eph. 5.3. Thus, when a Christian steals, he does not break the ten commandments, which were never given to him. He breaks the law of Christ, the new covenant. When he kills, he breaks the law of Christ, the new covenant.
I don't think so...I think he just understands the scripture better than you...
We don't have 10 Commandments to follow, we have 2...
Love God with all your heart and,
Love your neighbor as you love yourself...
If we are to love our neighbor, we will not kill him...We won't steal from him...We won't lie to him...
What it amounts to is were are told to keep the Commandments, out of love...NOT to please God...Not to avoid eternal punishment but because of love...But we aren't capable of that love...It is God who gives us that love instead of the rule of the 10 Commandments...
