I pretty sure he did so my real question is why do some Christians (faith alone) criticize other Christians (faith plus obedience) as being legalistic and for keeping the commandments?
Hi Martin, thanks for your response but lets be a bit more specific. I, as well as millions of other Christians keep the 4th commandment to the best of our ability. We keep it by faith because God asked us to, not because we think we will be saved because of keeping it and yet we are called legalistic. We are accused of denying salvation by grace through faith simply because we attempt to be obedient to God's commands. I would really like to know your thoughts on this.
Hi Windsong, I think your own biblical quote tells us the answer...
"On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
It seems Jesus was referring to "all the law."
