The law of faith applies to Gentiles. The law Abraham kept...How would one sin by obeying Love God, Love your Neighbor? They would not. I break nothing if I can do it. But if I dont do it, it is not bad because I broke a Law. It is bad because I did not love.
Every time one brings the Two back to the Law for modification, improvement, and jurisdiction, as you just did, you make the Law more important than the Two. Since the Two, the focus is no longer the Law. So stop refocusing on the Law. All that is needed is the Two.
We know the 10 were given specifically for the Israelites. Not the Gentiles.
& nations who had reached the fullness of sin....
Prohibitions to Gentiles retained in Mosaic law.......
Lev 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
Two covenants Circumcision AbrahamicAnd Like the Jews tried to say Paul was short, it is Salvation + Circumcision, others here are saying it is the Two + all the laws. And if one is going to do that, one must be circumcised as well. Because one does not get to pick and choose the Law any more than one gets to cherry-pick verses. One cannot say, well, not that law, it was for the Jews. And now we are back under the law and must be circumcised. But Paul said No!
Jo 7:22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
The law covenant is how God judges the world. In Christ we have already died, already been judged, righteous by faith like Noah.The whole point of Jesus giving the two, and Paul saying no to + circumcision, was to not put more upon the Gentiles than needed, and to show the Jews how much more full it is under the Two without all the offerings, sacrifices, days, and sin around the Law.
Those who follow the Law, are judged by the Law.
Those who follow Grace and Love are judged through Grace and Love.
Not under the Law: The world is a huge circle with all things lawful to me, and a little circle in the center saying - Love. Because Agape Love is Perfect.
Under the Law: The world is a huge circle filled with don't do's, and a little circle that says - Only these things are allowed. Because the law was imperfect.
Yes. You don't know what I have sacrificed.
Peace and Blessings
