>>That's not xzins' version.

 

"The logic is: Since "love" does no harm to its neighbor, love fulfills the law."

That's xzins' "logic".

 

Where does Paul say "love fulfills the law"?

 

The portion of the ELCA that condones homosexuality teaches the same thing. You been drinking their kool-aid?

***The entire law is summed up in*** = ***fulfills***

That is my paraphrase of Paul, who said:

“•Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” “

AND

•Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Therefore,

My comment was: “The logic is: Since “love” does no harm to its neighbor, love fulfills the law.”

You are still arguing with Paul and not with me. It seems that Romans 13:10 is uncomfortable for you.

Let me assure you that the Apostle Paul did not know Alister Crowley (sp).

Oh, heck, let's set Paul aside for a moment and go direct to the words of our King:

“Rabbi, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”

Yeshua said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ The whole Torah and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.” (Mat. 22:36-40)

Love is the whole of the Torah--the specific commandments simply detail how we are to go about loving God and our neighbor. Saying, "Love fulfills the Law," in this context is not an abrogation of its details, but a summary of its heart.

But my "The heck?" remains, as in, Where the heck do you get off comparing a true Christian and bearer of the Spirit to a Satanist? "Whoever shall say, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fire of Gehinnom" (Mat. 5:22)--and you've done far worse than calling him a fool. Since you seem to think it right to judge a man by every word that comes out of his keyboard, may the Holy One judge between you and him!
