None of the commandments get in the way of Love.
Why would you be disobedient to the law? Why would you use your freewill to be disobedient?

The Perfect Law of God
What?
I dont understand
What has Buddhism to do with Christianity and Judaism

You do know we are not under the law, unless you are Jewish
Christians are not under the law, we do what we think will serve God and others because we love, not because we are under the law.
If you accept the 10 commandments as a given, arnt you denying Gods grace in Christ
Even Paul said " All things are lawful, not all things are edifying.
I am embarrassed by this christianity here, it's lost and confused, it's trying to marry two religions, it's like wearing linen and wool, biblically forbidden.
Jesus did work on the sabath, he is denying the bible to justify his own misunderstandings.
As Christians we are saved by grace through Jesus, we show the fruit of the Holy Spirit and live as the Sermon on the Mount taught.
We are not Jews, go read Romans, it's very clear
Two rules, both are love
Love God, love each other, that's the principles of Christianity, that bloke is turning it into a religion
It's a lie

This is probably what James means by the odd phrase "that perfect law, the law of liberty" (ch1 v25 and also ch2 v12).
How can that be a liberty when religion binds people up.
Worship on the sabath, that's silly, every day is the sabath in Christ,
We live as Jesus taught because we love Jesus, not because we follow Jewish law or commandments
If we start fulfilling the law like Jews, why not fulfill them and and then rely on our own works to attain salvation
Why do we need Jesus

Are you declaring that Christians under the influence of the Holy Spirit will break the 10 Commandments?
I don't see any justice in your theory. They may well be your master keys but they are not mine, I see no logic or love and compassion in eastern religions. Just nothing and hate.

Psalms 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
King David said that he will walk at liberty, for he sought the Lord's precepts. Those who sin, are servants of sin. Those who walk after the precepts of God, seek liberty. Therefore, the law of Liberty, is the law of the 10 Commandments.
John 8:34-36 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

God is not dualistic.
1 John 1:5
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
What is the point of Christs death if we as christians have to still work, still follow the law.

What is the point of everything Jesus taught IF there is no work...
This is the fault of Paul... Faith alone is dead
Spiritual work is not done to attain some gift as so many Christians like to preach...
Its done because its right
get away from Paul and his rhetoric...
its good for nothing, and the reason Jesus said to some of his followers, I never knew you
We have been over this Ak, why do you do this every time

trying to drill it into your head i suppose...
Love requires action or its just words...
Disagree with the idea that action is required and you disagree with your savior... its as simple as that

Its a figure of speech...
I don't care if you disagree with Jesus, thats really your issue... as i've said many times before, most Christians prefer paul over him anyways... it just makes me sad
His is the easy road... no work, just believe in the death of a man, and the spilling of his blood for redemption
Basically still stuck on the old laws, completely ignoring the fact that Jesus said specifically that work is part of it all... most of his teaching are about exactly that.
whatever though brother...
