I'm not dishonest for quoting scripture.
40All the Law and the Prophets
hang on these two commandments."
The law was our schoolmaster.
When God's love fills your heart to overflowing, there is no need for the law as there is no longer any evil to restrain.
That's the whole point.
Love conquers all.
The Law is your schoolmaster.
It's the first step.
If you love your child, if your love for your child is overflowing in your heart, and you would give your life for your child, you no longer need a law that says "do not murder your child". The thought would never enter your mind. There is no evil to restrain, therefore you do not
need that law.
The law is needed when there is evil to restrain.
This world has a long way to go.
But those TWO commandments, on those TWO commandments HANG ALL of the law.
This is what so called "keepers of the law" do not understand. This is why they freak out and yell and moan about "oh my! oh my!!!! you mean to say that we should just throw out the law???!!! OH MY! OH MY!!!! You Blasphemers! You are headed to hell!! Oh MY!!!!
" Yeah, that old keeping the law really worked out well, didn't it? If it had, Jesus would not have had to come and show us love personified. This is all part of the plan.
Trying to keep the law is futile. Remember we were SUBJECTED to futility. (for a reason.) Now, sin gets it's power from the law.
LOVE overpowers and conquers sin. This is something you truly have to experience to understand. When Love has completely transformed us, When Christ is ALL in ALL, then there will be no need for the law. There will be no more evil to RESTRAIN.
These "keepers of the law" or whatever they call it aren't seeing the things that JESUS came to show us. They are like the pharisees, chaining the law to people instead of letting LOVE transform their heart to the point where they NO LONGER NEED the law. But some of these folks (not all, but some) are the same folks who basically claim God is basically holding a gun to folks heads saying "LOVE ME OR ELSE". So you should be able to see a little more clearly where they are coming from. Your view of God, after awhile starts to dictate how much you are going to learn, and how much confusion you will start to sink into if your view of God does not enlargen.
No, the command to love God with all of your heart is to help bring you to truth. (See my link below for what I mean by that.)
It's a beautiful thing.
This is why in Jesus, there is freedom.
There is no evil to restrain.
TRULY striving to follow the two commandments ends up slowly destroying a lot of false beliefs and it means that your heart is being expanded so that eventually Christ will rule in your heart, and sin (which gets it's power from the law) will be no more. There will no longer be any evil to restrain. THIS is the path that ALL MANKIND is on. A lot of folks just can't see it now. The path is narrow, afterall. But rest assured... God WILL BE all in all. That is a guarantee. He is doing a good work in ALL of humanity.
His plan is 100% PERFECT. But each in his own turn.
We are in Good hands. No matter what anyone says.
No matter what small-minded, prideful carnal man may say.
I corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam
all die,
so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
24Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
27For he "has put everything under his feet."Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ
28When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that
God may be all in all.
More on the two commandments, from my point of viewm and what I was talking about when I said the command to love God helps to destroy those false beliefs. Part of those beliefs that are on the WIDE road to destruction. (thank God!):

Agree or disagree, that's fine.
I'm not here to debate or argue back and forth all night.
I'm just sharing my views and where I am on this path back home to our Father. Like I said, take it or leave it. I'm not here to change your mind.
Just here to give someone out there a different perspective they may not have seen before.
Peace.
p.s. Please forgive me, the
bold and CAPS are just used for emphasis. I know it bothers some folks.
sorry.

aren't there...? almost as many as there are people it seems...there's only one plan that will be fulfilled, and that's God's plan, and EVERYONE will be a "part" of His plan...the question is...in which "part" will you "play" in HIS plan?
