>> “No where does it say those are God's laws written on their hearts” <<

Now you are way out over the edge!

1John 2:

[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning.
The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

The old commandment,Torah, that man was commanded to keep from the beginning. That is still the commandment.

The connivances that so-called believers create to avoid what we are commanded to do never cease to amaze me.

Who would write commandments on our hearts?

Now why would you stop at verse 7: I wonder if it has anything to do with what's said in verse 8? 1 John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Now, John specifically said "commandments" NOT laws. Then we have Jesus words.

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 39 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Now, He didn't say "hang all the laws". It's the ten commandments they are talking about NOT the laws in the Torah. Jesus said "love thy neighbour as theyself", John mentioned "The one who loves his brother". Again, they were talking about the ten commandments. Those who try to read something else into them are attempting to put us back under the old law and have separated themselves from Christ. Attempting to twist the words and make the Torah laws into the 10 commandments is the work of the enemy.
