There is no law that says to me, "thou shalt not...." However, love inside has not desire to anyway! The law is written inside.
Coop.
Take absolutely no offense, but I find this post to be contradictory. We need to clarify a few things, imho.
Firstly, if the law is not for you, why is it written inside of you? And if it is written inside of you, how can it be nailed to the cross (although Colossians 2:14 is not speaking of the law)?
And there is no law that tells you "thou shalt not"? What about the one Christ spoke of, for example, in Mark 10:19?
What about Romans 13:9, according to Paul?
And isn't the love inside you commanded in the law and doesn't the law hang off of love (Matthew 22:37-40)?
