The first sentence is correct. The Holy Spirit constrains us to keep God's
law. The written law was to teach us from the outside until the Holy
Spirit
could teach us from the inside. The second sentence is incorrect. The
Spirit still teaches all who love Him to keep God's moral laws (not the
levitical which has been done away with since the temple curtain was rent.)

It is not the letter but the Spirit that constrians us. The Law was for
the Jew but no more.

As I have stated on numerous occassions, God's law is for God's
people--there is no Jew or gentile in Christ. It is forever. For example,
just because you are a Christian does not mean you are free to lie, steal,
murder, etc. Izzy

A Heuristic Consideration
The scriptures I have seen used to support the Law are scriptures written
to
and for and by the Jews on that subject. The Law is a late date
administration coming hundreds if not thousands of years after the creation
event. When it was presented to "mankind," it was given to an extremely
small part of "mankind." The Old Testament is not the story (IMO) of
the
people of God verses the condemned. Rather, it is the story of the people
of God AS DEFINED BY THE MOSICAL COVENANT exclusive of any other
anthropological consideration. There is no reason to believe that the
rest of mankind is lost and hell bound because they were not Jewish. In
fact, in Romans 2 gives us a little insight into just how things may have
worked for the 90% of humanity who were never given the Law. Paul makes it
clear (I believe) that th e purpose of the Law was best seen in the fact
that it served as a tutor until the coming of Christ................. who,
in turn, reconciled the 10% (the Jew) with the 90% (everyone else on
earth).
Perhaps I have not stated things as accurately as I might - being a
pastor
and not a theologian. But the above needs to be considered as we formulate
our opinions on The Law.

How many times must we post scriptures that explain that God?s law is the
Bible, cover to cover, and will never pass away? Or that Jesus told us
that
if we love Him we will obey His law? Etc. Etc. Etc. I won?t waste my times
posting it all or quoting it all again. Our righteousness in Christ never
nullified or vilified God?s law. Don?t trash what God loves. This
admonition is for those who have ears to hear. Izzy

The following is the substantive part of the post: Whenever you call God?s
law a garbage dump you heap judgment on yourself. First, I do not see
Linda Shield's characterization of G's wording, but that aside, the
view
I have of scripture regarding The Law is this: it was given to the Jews
and to the Jews only -- never was it intended to be that by which the
larger community of man was to be judged. It was fulfilled by a Jew
bearing t he essence of an incarnate God and in this fulfillment, taken out
of consideration -- if we are dealing with the issue of "that which
judges
man." In the grace of God and His tender mercies, we are "judged" in
Christ and that judgment presents us "right eous" before the Father.
Good
news, indeed !!!

Feeling blessed? Or would you even recognize what
God?s blessings felt like?or miss it if you weren?t? Izzy

If God is convicting you personallyabout your part in this I can appreciate
that and you will find no condemnation from me. However, I would very much
appreciate you giving the rest of us the same consideration because it is
the work of the Holy Spirit to convict of sin, righteousness, and the
judgment to come.
