The Law
The Law
Due to the writings of Paul and the way they are worded, Christians believe that the word "law" is ALWAYS referring to the laws in the old testament. Because of this many believe that the laws mentioned in the old testament is a "curse". That following the law was a curse imposed by God and that we are under a blessing now. This is not entirely the case.

If you do the Law you have to do it perfectly

[!Bible] Galatians 3:10-14 - KJV galatians galatians3 10 For as many as are of the Works of the Law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. %% #bible #galatians #galatians3 %%
