Delivered From the Law

[Soyeong]

Committing adultery is not loving to a spouse,

The same is true for breaking all of God's other commands.

and we don't need a law to know that.

God's law defines what it means to love regardless of whether or not you think that you need to do that. If there was a different law that someone was not following, such as if someone were not keeping the 7th day holy, then they would need to be informed that that is not loving to God.

Why did you write that? I never said anything to that effect.

Sorry if I've misunderstood you.

My last post mentioned many verses regarding the blood of Christ and your response neglected everything I said, because you never mentioned anything about the blood of Christ. There is no conversation here.

I spoke about Titus 2:14, which is in regard to what Christ accomplished through the cross.

OK, for a while there I thought you were running off a humanistic religion that neglects the revelation found in the Old Testament and the New Testament... one of works.

I spoke about Titus 2:14, which is in regard to what Christ accomplished through the cross.

Titus 2:14 KJV
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Surely that was His purpose in redeeming us, and it's His blood that purifies us, not our good works.

Love of self does not to be taught, and that is the standard.
