Are Christians required to keep the law? This question seems to have plagued the Church from its beginning. 2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. When considering this question, it must be understood that it is
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Luke 24:44 Many apply the wrong idea to Jesus fulfilling the law. Of course, he obeyed the law; he was a faithful Israelite. Paul kept the law as well as every faithful Jew.

The situation we are in was created by decades of control by the liberal, progressive, Marxist, Left promoting collectivism, which are attempting to tear our republic apart.
