For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them." (Galatians 3:10)
Please give me a short interpretation of this verse.
Shalom

The main words in this verse is, All Things. If a sinner is to be justified by law he has to obey the law, all of it, perfectly in every detail all his life..James writes in 2:10,"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." so Alex, i think all would agree that salvation through this method is impossible..

Alex...this has been discussed many times. What alot of folks get confused with is.. obedience to the things the things of Christ. This is not the same as the law. Example...refraining from alcohol is not living under the law..that is being obedient to one's conviction..the same with the following..
Watching TV
Over eatting
Drinking Alcohol
Gossipping
Being materialistic
Foolsh Jesting
Making your hobbies a god. ..such as archery , hunting and fishing.
According to Romans 8 :1,2 Christians are now under the Law of Christ..meaning. We have to forgive and love our enemies, we are to live moderate lives and yield our lives to him WE are to love God and our neighbor with our whole heart WHICH according to Mark is more than the burnt offerings. God now desires to rule in our hearts which is much more than the outward show that the Pharisees had. Not only are we not allowedto commit adultury and fornication but we ought not to watch material that would promote these lust...or listen to music that would promote lust. In fact...Christ said you better cut your hand off or pluck your eyes out if that is a problem. Christ/ God has the same seriousness toward sin as He did back in the Mosiaic days. He has not changed. WE are still calledto be holy. Teh deal is..if a man or women is truly led by Christ's spirit and LOVE is his / her goal Galations says that the requirements of the law are fufilled "For all the law is fulfilled in lovein gGod and your neighbor as yourself.1 John 1:7 says when we walk in this light that the BLOOD of JESUS cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness.

I remember reading a post from you a while back..you believe this too.
The proceeding verses put it in perspective: Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith. The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, The man who does these things will live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for as it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.He redeemed us in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Either yo keep them wholly, or you fail at every aspect of the law. This demonstartes the function of the law, to bring us to Christ, and the futility of attempting to justify oneself by the law, as was in the case of the rich young ruler. Christ showed him, without any ambivalence where he failed,in spite of his clams to have kept them from youth. Instead of admitting his needs and his failure, he walked away clutching his riches--his real 'god'.

Alex are you implying that Jesus did not do away with it ? any of it?
What did he said ?:
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Has Heaven and earth dissapeared ?

What is your Take ?
