What is the theme in thefollowing:
And then I will declare to them, ‘I
never knew you; depart from Me, you
who practice lawlessness!’
Matthew 7:22-24
40 Therefore as the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire, so it
will be at the end of this age. 41 The
Son of Man will send out His angels, and
they will gather out of His kingdom all
things that offend, and those who
practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast
them into the furnace of fire. Matthew
13:40-42
3 And everyone who has this hope in
Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4 Whoever commits sin also commits
lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 1
John 3:3-4
and finally my favorite:
11 Then many false prophets will rise up
and deceive many. 12 And because
lawlessness will abound, the love of
many will grow cold. 13 But he who
endures to the end shall be saved.
Mathew 24:11-13
Merriam Webster Definition of Lawless:
1 : not regulated by or based on law
2 a : not restrained or controlled by law
b : ILLEGAL
EDITORIAL:
It is my OPINION based on the above
texts that NOT having a law is
definetly a BAD idea.

What do these have in common:
15 “If you love Me, keep My
commandments". John 14:15
19 Circumcision is nothing and
uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping
the commandments of God is what
matters. 1 Corinthians 7:19
3 Now by this we know that we know
Him, if we keep His commandments.
1 John 2:3
12 Here is the patience of the saints;
here are those who keep the
commandments of God and the faith of
Jesus. Revelation 14:12
18 For assuredly, I say to you, till
heaven and earth pass away, one jot or
one tittle will by no means pass from
the law till all is fulfilled.
Mathew 5:18
1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and
all the host of them, were finished. 2
And on the seventh day God ended His
work which He had done, and He rested
on the seventh day from all His work
which He had done. 3 Then God blessed
the seventh day and sanctified it,
because in it He rested from all His
work which God had created and made.
Genesis 2:1-3
(Why the seventh day? Why not the
first day of the second week? A whole
DAY was CREATED.)
EDITORIAL:
According to these texts, not only is
the law good but it was clearly
established BEFORE the Jews and even
sin.

Pleading the 4th: 27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28 Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:27-28 These are the words of Jesus NOT any church doctrine. Did He say it was only for the Jews or for a limited time?

19 'I am the Lord your God: Walk in MY stateutes, keep My judgements, and do them; 20 'hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.' Ezekiel 20:19-20
