On the contrary, following those first two commandments is a LOT harder than the rest of the nine which you would understand if you really understood the heart of God and intent of Law.
The intent of the law is not to make us righteous before God when obey them outwardly, as was the case with the Pharisees.
And no, we are not under law but under grace. If you don't like that, take it up with the Holy Spirit and Paul, who put it in Scripture.
Romans 6:12-18 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
Yes, Christians, born again, born from above, believers who have been saved by grace are no longer under the law but under grace. We are living under both mercy and grace, not the bondage that comes from the Law.
ebb tide! Listen to you metmom! In the Bible it usually takes laying on of hands, but I’ll bet if enough of us born-from-above Freepers prayed for you, the Holy Spirit would pay you a visit, and you would finally understand what Jesus and his disciples are talking about.
