Bible Note: Hi Tenmakk You say "He has a "but" for each of these that indicates to me that he is correcting the Old Testament passages, or changing them, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you." Jesus didn't change or nullify anything contained in the law. He fulfilled it, He was showing by example a better way, His way, the New covenant way. His example to us was, everything He did was motivated by LOVE. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He came to earth because of LOVE, He lived a life of LOVE, He died for our sins out of LOVE. His example was we are to treat others, as we would be treated. We are to walk in love. Rom 7:1-4 1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Your fruit comes by walking in love. To put it simply, can you think of a way you could take someone's eye, out of love for them? Vintage68 |
