Alex,<br><br>Thanks for posting the article by Bob Felts. However, I have to take issue with his denial of the perpetuity of the Moral Law which is binding upon believers, in fact, all men. He states:<blockquote>Objection #3: If the requirements of the Law are fulfilled by our union with Christ, then what does "keep my commandments" mean? <br>The answer has already been given -- by walking in love. No more, no less. In John 13:34-35, Jesus said to us:</blockquote>"Walking in love" doesn't tell a Christian HOW he is to live. It is only the basis from which he is to live. "Love" is the motive from which a believer's "obedience of faith" is expressed. (Rom 16:26).<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Objection #2: Jesus said, "If you love me, you keep my commandments" (John 14:15, and similarly John 14:21, 15:10; 1 John 5:2-3). Doesn't this mean that we are to keep the Law? <br>This is the favorite verse used by those who would insist that Christians are to keep the Sabbath according to the fourth commandment. We have shown that Christians are not under the jurisdiction of the Law nor are we under the guidance of the Law. How then do we satisfy the desire of Christ to keep His commandments?</font><hr></blockquote><p>Mr. Felts fails to give any exegetical grounds upon which he has based his view. Rather he totally ignores the actual words of the Lord Christ, "keep my commandments". Christ did not say, "keep my commandment" nor "just love", etc. It is a popular thing for NCT and Antinomians to single out the Fourth Commandment (Sabbath) and to totally ignore the other 9. Idolatry, taking God's name in vain, dishonoring parents, murder, stealing, adultery, lying and bearing false witness, and coveting are still grievous sins which no one, especially Christians are to practice. Loving God means worshiping only Him and that aright, honoring Him in all things, keeping the Sabbath day holy, honoring parents, etc., etc... So again, love is the "motive" and the law is man's "duty". They cannot be bifurcated, for in doing so, neither is pleasing to God, but rather sinful.<br><br>You might want to read such articles on The Highway as:<br><br>The Moral Law a Rule of Obedience by Samuel Bolton<br><br>The Law not Abrogated by Christ to Believers by Ernest Kevan<br><br>Law: Civic, Ceremonial and Moral by Richard Alderson<br><br>In His Grace,
