If he gave us a standard to live by, do you think he is so mean to give us a standard that is impossible to live by? He lived by that standard, thus proving it could be done. Not only that, but he gives the Holy Spirit to empower us to do the same. It's us that shortchanges ourselves to say we can't live it. I'm not sure what you are referencing by Romans 15:4. "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." But I agree with it, these things were written for our learning. But from what I see, most churchianity wants to forget the things we are to learn, and it makes me ask why. These things were written for our comfort and hope. Wellbeing in general, actually. ISRV renders that verse "Rom 15:4 For whatever was written before was written for our instruction,1 that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have the expectation." Footnote: 1 1Cor. 10:11, 2Tim. 3:14-17. Again, what most churchianity teaches is that the Scriptures that Paul and Yah'shua loved and taught from are relatively invalid now. I've heard people that Yah'shua lived a perfect life, he did it for them so they don't have to. That is mistaken. It was the penalty he paid. Read how important Yah'shua thought keeping the commands was: Mat 19:17 John 14:15 teaches if we don't guard his commands, we don't love him. Remember that he revealed the Father to Moses, and that he and the Father are one. Thus it was him that gave the commands to Moses. 1Cor 7:19 There is a difference between the keeping of the oral traditions and the law of Elohim. Oral tradition is not binding, never was. The commands of Yahweh are binding and expected to be kept. |

Face, Goodmorning. I think that's why I stated that the law wasnt abolished but fullfilled. That was stated by Jesus himself. That is one of the reasons I refer back to Romans 15:4 so often. The standard set by God never goes away. But we do live under a new covanent.Luke 22:20 We are living under a different administration as a result of what Jesus Christ accomplished. So it doesnt seem so ironic that he would tell the Apostles in Matthew 28:20 to observe all that I commanded you,and that is our call even today.As in your reference of 2 Timothy 3:14-17. I couldnt agree with you more.But in doing so 2 Timothy 2:15 must be bedrock principle in everything we do. Hebrews 8,9 help in understanding the old and new covenants and how they relate to us. The standard of God's Word is the standard,from Genesis to Revelation.Always has been always will be. And there is an expectation and a command by God that we live according to the standard of His Word. In Christ, lionheart |

Thank you sir, that is indeed what I'm wanting to do. 2Ti 2:15 Do your utmost to present yourself approved to Elohim, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of Truth. Belief in action :-) |
