Psalm 119

[Nathan J_A]

Read it and weep, Paulians. You hate the law so much and you just instantly feel the need to correct anyone who speaks against your heresies. Sad. Just read Psalm 119 and TELL me what you have to say against it.

 

Psalm 119 glorifies legalism to the extreme and you have nothing to say

Its abt the revenge and destruction of wicked people who crucified Jesus the Messiah.

Not for you to put urself at the same position to expect destruction to people who hate you, wake up.

Paulians?   Are you under the misconception that the bible is flawed, and that the majority of the New Testament is no God Breathed Scriptures?

 

Jesus came to fulfill the law and He did.  and gave us a much simpler set of commandments to follow

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Was James also a liar?

James 2:10

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

And Dr Luke?

38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Please explain ... 

Psalm 40:7  Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: 
8  I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”

Psalm 119 glorifies legalism to the extreme and you have nothing to say

The writer of Psalm 119 embraces the whole Word of God available at that time, around 444 BC.

Psa 119:105  Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

For those students of the Bible who appreciate its progressive revelation Psalm 119 is a manual of devotion rather than an excuse to practice the legalism that the Pharisees did by the time Christ confronted them.

Legalists are as blind as the Pharisees were and cannot see that the New Testament is superior to the Old.

Heb 7:11-12  Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?  (12)  For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

Heb 7:18-19  For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,  (19)  for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
