http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1337382690/59#59Yes, Leviticus is in the OT.
I have to abide by God's law.
If i sin against God's law, God
will destroy me.
Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine:
the soul that sinneth, it shall die.What is God's law ???
God's law, is the law of righteousness.Matthew 6:33
.....seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;....Jeremiah 9:23
Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth:
for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
n.b.
Loving kindness, righteousness
AND, judgement.
What is 'righteousness' ?
"And what is good, Phaedrus? And what is not good? Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?"
Plato
and found in, Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance
But what is 'righteousness' ?
Just like everyone else [here], i have been given the freedom to make [moral] choices in this life.
What is 'righteousness' ?
That is
our responsibility, we choose to know good, OR, we choose to know evil.
It is a simple choice.
We merely have to choose to seek the light [truth],
or, choose to KNOW the darkness [i.e. seeking to act just as you please [i.e.
lawlessness], all the while seeking to avoid responsibility for the consequences of your choices].
And seeking to avoid responsibility for the consequences of our choices, is what people who love lawlessness tend to do, i.e. >>
CRIMINALS<<.
'lawlessness'
???
Galatians 5:14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
God hates lawlessness [in men] !
And he will not tolerate it, in us.
Psalms 5:4
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
If you are a person who chooses lawlessness, in this life, God will destroy you.

Daniel 12:10
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Revelation 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
