IF (please read the word IF) you are obediant to God, why are you disobeying his laws?

peter pan just stole my shoes...bad little monkey...,\n\nby the way, there are no "fundamentalist" Christians on this site...it would be against their religion...so your criteria is flawed...\n\ngive me back my shoes...stupid little monkey....\n\nassuming you WERE obedient to God, you wouldn't be disobeying Him or His laws (you would have to give an example of disobediance vs disobeying...another flaw I think)....\n\nthat's it, I'm going to shoot this damn little monkey...

A true Christian may participate in any activity that does not lead to slavery (being brought under the power of another), either for him(her)self or anyone else; He (or she), may participate in any activity that brings glory to God; He (or she), may participate in any activity for which he (or she) can honestly give thanks to God for granting him/her the privelege of engaging in.\n\n1 Corinthians 6:12\nAll things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.\n\n1 Corinthians 10:23\nAll things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.\n\n1 Corinthians 10:31\nWhether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.\n\nColossians 3:17\nAnd whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

The whole of Galatians is arguing against that line of reasoning - if we sin we disobey God! Christians should obey Him!\n\nGalatians 2:\n16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.\n\n 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. \n\n1 Corinthians 3:\n16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?\n\n 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.\n\nRead 1 Corinthians 5 (see link)\n\n1 Corinthians 6:\n9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,\n\n 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. \n\n1 Corinthians 6:\n15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. \n\n18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.\n\n 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?\n\n 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.\n\netc........\n\n\n>Other than that one, Christians are free to commit as many sins as they want, as often as they want, and any kind they want.<\n\nThe person who wrote that is totally and utterly WRONG!

yeah, that doesn't sound good, I agree.\n\nBut perhaps it means that they will follow God whether it brings bad things on themselves or not.  For example, let us say that you have a business and it is going under.  You could cheat and be dishonest and keep the business up and running, and prosper.  But that would not be to obey the Lord.  But if you say, "I refuse to cheat.  I will obey God, even though it brings bad fortune upon me - even if I lose my business."\n\nThat's one way that I took the verse.  I'd have to read it in context to see if that could work in context.

Yeah, god fouled up when he created the first commandment which states that we have to worship him and no one else.  What a jerk!

I will always take my religious/personal beliefs over the law.\n\nI am not very religious, but I do have strong religious beliefs. I am also a law enforcement officer.\n\nI guess I'm a contradiction!

God wants us to obey him\n\n"What pleases the Lord more: burnt offerings and sacrifices or obedience to his voice? It is better to obey than to sacrifice of sheep.  Disobedience is as bad as the sin of sorcery. Pride is as bad as the sin of worshiping idols. You have rejected the Lord's command. Now he rejects you as king."

Jesus definitely does not want us to break the Ten Commandments or any other law God gives, but what Jesus did, was eliminate the need for sacrifices because he was and is the ULTIMATE sacrifice.  Satan on the other hand wants us to break as many laws and knowingly turn away from God.  Lucifer (Satan) was so jealous of the fact that God loves humans so much, he decided to turn away from his spot as the highest angel in Heaven to devote eternity to destroy and bring down humans.  God gave us free will to decide whether to turn to Him or not; this does not therefore make him a tyrant. So to answer your question: no Jesus does not want us to break God's law and yes Satan does want us to break God's law and openly deny God and His son.

You shouldn't worship anything or anyone.  If there really was an omniscient and benevolent deity, why would he want you to worship him?  \n\nAnyone that wants to be worshipped has some serious self-esteem issues.

Because your spirit is equal to everyone elses. God is not handing out favors. It is your awareness that sets you apart. You are aware of the God inside of you. Pray inwards, that you will know what to do, you will do the right thing. Take responsiblity for your actions. God is not playing the game, you are. (Well, I think God is playing, but as you)

I think that's a really good question. If I accept the premise that God cannot ask us to do anything that is not moral, then that implies there is a morality independent of Him. On the other hand, if I accept the position that I must do whatever God wants me to do, then I have no way to ascertain whether God is asking me to do right or wrong - I must simply do what He says.

Why, as a child of your parents, do you respect,listen to, and obey them ?  Probably out of a mixture of love and a healthy fear of displeasing them.   It's the same thing with our Heavenly Father!   I obey and listen and show respect for His ways with my behavior and speech out of love and fear of displeasing Him.  I have a choice, the Bible says at Romans 6:23...  The wages sin Pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Jesus Christ our Lord.  I can live for God and live forever or I can be disobedient and suffer the consequences, which in this case we are told is death.

Don't worship me that defeats the whole purpose. Just listen to me. I know what i'm talking about. Why else do you think I was tossed from heaven? I had an opinion . Remember people, Heaven is not a democracy.

Nope. If you live in God's will you are willing to accept that some times what you want is not what God wills. You do not and can not buy God's blessings or bribe God into giving you what you want.

In theory this does make sense.  Any other sin you commit would fall under disobedience.  The Bible commands you not to commit adultery.  So the sin you are forgiven for is not the adultery but the disobedience against the commandment.

You know my friend I try not too underestimate the ablity of a person to mess something up.  \n\nThe Law was ment to guide us in the Lords way and we made it into a thing that squelshes who God is... And to beat others down... weither it is the 10 commandments the 613 or say things that modern christians can get legalistic about.  \n\nAnd unfortunately people have taken Grace to that extreme too... I mean we've all met people who say "I am born again I can do anything I want..." they think that they can throw obedience out the window... it is sad!\n\nMay God help us... to see the truth of the Law and the truth of his Grace
