It's for OUR WELL BEING. There's nothing bad about it!

My friend The law was given so that we would understand that we could never keep it..that we are all condemned by the law, not saved by it..That if we were to be saved..we needed a Savior to redeem us.. Paul tells us that without the law he never would have known he was a sinner

Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

The law is a good thing...it reminds us daily that we are sinners in need of a Savior.. but we are not saved by the law or lost because we fail ... It has been kept perfectly for us by Christ

Amen and well-said!

Ya'll don't DARE READ the rest of the Bible.
Satan won't allow riot.

Remember:

" Verily I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall BIND on earth
SHALL BE BOUND in heaven:
and whatsoever ye shall LOOSE on earth
SHALL BE LOOSED in heaven. "

So be careful of what you forgive, and ~ of what you "BIND" .

And also remember:

" ... seeing ye are dull of hearing.
For when for the time YE OUGHT TO BE teachers,
YE HAVE NEED THAT ONE TEACH YOU AGAIN
which be the first principles of the oracles of God;
and ARE BECOME SUCH AS HAVE NEED OF MILK,
AND NOT STRONG MEAT.
For EVERY ONE THAT USETH MILK IS UNSKILFUL IN THE WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
for he is a babe.
But STRONG MEAT BELONGETH TO THEM THAT ARE OF FULL AGE,
even those who
by reason of use
have their senses exercised TO DISCERN
BOTH GOOD AND EVIL. "

Read again

" Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. "

And read again:

" But he that heareth , and doeth not,
is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth;
against which the stream did beat vehemently ,
and immediately it fell ;
and the ruin of that house was great. "

Are we not judged by our INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS ?
Shouldn't judgement begin with US ?

Our ACTIONS matter as we go through this fiery trial, and every action we take, every idle word we speak, we WILL answer for.

And so it has been written, and so IT SHALL BE DONE.

Can you remember reading about "a thorn in their side"?

"But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you;
then it shall come to pass,
that those which ye let remain of them
shall be pricks in your eyes,
and thorns in your sides,
and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Moreover
it shall come to pass,
that I shall do unto you,
as I thought to do unto them."

Someone once said:

"The only way one can accept the truth and retain their sanity is to trust God."

They may be more to it than that.
Doing is important.
I believe the "fiery trial" has already started.
We haven't been very diligent " ... to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses ... "
and there are consequences for our actions and in-actions.
We are living in the time of those consequences.
