Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

"Moral standards" are a lot like lighthouses: they exist to help us stay on course as we sail through life. But we have to steer BY them, but not directly AT them. Lest we end up marooned on the shoals of perpetual self-righteousness.

I answered your questions using the same words Jesus did.
If s/he asked me, in a truly repentant way, to forgive them for murdering my family member then I would willingly forgive them.What would you forgive them for? Murder or taking a loved one away from you?
But not a written law, something else, something like morals."They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them."
That sounds like law.

Read these passages in conjunction with Galatians.
Galatians 3:24-26 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
24 In fact, the Law was our teacher. It was supposed to teach us until we had faith and were acceptable to God. 25 But once a person has learned to have faith, there is no more need to have the Law as a teacher.
26 All of you are God’s children because of your faith in Christ Jesus.
We must be very careful how we apply the law both to ourselves and to others. Are you using the law to teach others their need for a savior or are you using the law to judge others? It is an important question we must constantly ask ourselves because we will be judged by that same measure when we stand before God.

Throughout the Bible, the term "witness" is used to describe people AND inanimate objects, events, and ideas.
Instead of making such accusations, perhaps you could quote the post where I made the claim that someone who accidentally killed someone should be put to death. At the very least, provide a link to the post.
Answering a question you wanted me to ask doesn't answer the question I actually asked.
You're extremely close to being put on my ignore list.
Which, again, does not answer my question.If s/he asked me, in a truly repentant way, to forgive them for murdering my family member then I would willingly forgive them.
AGAIN: Would you forgive them for:
A) murder?
B) hurting you by taking away a loved one?
"Written on their hearts"...But not a written law, something else, something like morals.
"Law unto themselves"...
I told you what happened.
You didn't format it properly, and in the process plagiarised what I said.
Please fix it.
Cab, if someone has not come to know Christ as their Savior, then how can they be out from under the law?
Seems pretty simple to me.We must be very careful how we apply the law both to ourselves and to others.
Christians are not under the law, everyone else is.
Don't believe me? Just go read Romans, the greatest treatise of law ever written.
Porque no los dos?Are you using the law to teach others their need for a savior or are you using the law to judge others?
Why do you think that those two things are mutually exclusive?
See, the problem is that you think that Christians will be judged by God.It is an important question we must constantly ask ourselves because we will be judged by that same measure when we stand before God.
We won't be. That's what being forgiven means.
Remember what Paul said?
Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. - Romans 7:1-6 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...6&version=NKJV
We were condemned under the law (for all have sinned), then when we accepted Christ, we were crucified with him, and therefore, since we are now dead (to the law), we are no longer under it (Romans 7:1-6). Then we are raised with Him in His resurrection, and are forgiven of all our sins, AND "there is now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus...".
Honestly, you need to read your Bible more often, because you hardly know it.
