Bible Question (short): To be led by the Spirit, or castrated? |
Question (full): Searcher In your response to "What is "Moral Law?", you stated, "I also think following the "law of Christ" is tougher." My question is "why." Didn't Jesus simply command us to " Love your neighbor as yourself." Isn't this the command that replaced the ten commandments? I would say that having the laws written on ones heart in the first place, if a person follows Jesus' command to Love your neighbor as yourself; learning to listen to, and therefor to be led by the spirit, would be the most dificult thing for those who have not truly received the spirit. If one follows this command, will they not follow the 10 commandments? by doing so. Didn't Paul say to the Galatians concerning the those who were advocating the law and insisting on the circumcision of the beleivers, "As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate (CASTRATE) themselves"? NIV Gal 5:12 Your response noted suggests to me that you think it is easier to follow the law than to Live by the Spirit. Just curious. |
