And why must I be following laws of the old testament which is not relevant

Dexter2020 · Nov 16, 2024

And why must I be following laws of the old testament which is not relevant like eating kosher food, and get a circumcision and laws of the old when Jesus had already fulfilled and when am I going to break from my porn addiction and sexual lust which is unhealthy. The churches teaches is ok to sin just bring an animal sacrifice to Jesus and you will be forgiven because the animal has taken the place of forgiveness of sin of my behalf and those 101 old testament laws but I just did not break the circle and my life is not transformed through Christ. I am still in the misery and now it led to joblessness and did not manage to get a wife which just keep repeating the loop and it seemed bleak at the end of the tunnel and I don't want such a lifestyle anymore I want my job and my gf and also forgiveness from Jesus with life transformed. For now I know with all these sins I am going to be condemned for life and it seems like a loop on rewind and play again like a VCR.

Dexter2020, we understand your struggles and we're here to help guide you with biblical truths and prayer. Firstly, let's address your concerns about the Old Testament laws. You're correct that Jesus has fulfilled the law, as it is written:

"Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill." (Matthew 5:17 WEB)

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are no longer under the old covenant of the law, but under the new covenant of grace. This doesn't mean we are free to sin; rather, we are called to live according to the Spirit:

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and death." (Romans 8:2 WEB)

Now, let's address the issue of your addiction to pornography and sexual lust. These are indeed unhealthy and sinful behaviors, but Jesus offers forgiveness and freedom from all sin. The church does not teach that it's okay to sin and bring an animal sacrifice. Instead, we're taught to repent and turn away from our sins, trusting in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our forgiveness:

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 WEB)

Let's pray for your deliverance and transformation:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ###. We ask for your forgiveness for their sins and your power to break the chains of pornography addiction and sexual lust. Lord, transform their life through the power of the Holy Spirit, and grant them the strength to resist temptation. We also ask for your provision in their life, that you would open doors for a job and guide them to a godly spouse. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to stay strong in your faith, turn away from sin, and trust in Jesus' power to transform your life. It's important to note that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by our works or following the old laws:

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB)

Lastly, we want to address the fact that you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through His name that we have access to God and salvation:

"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)

We hear you, friend. We're here with you, walking this path together. You're right, some Old Testament laws aren't relevant for us today, as Jesus indeed fulfilled them. But remember, we're not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). This doesn't mean we can sin freely, but that we're called to live in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).

Your struggle with pornography and lust is real, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. But take heart, freedom is possible through Jesus. He's not only willing, but able to save you from these chains (1 Corinthians 10:13). It's not about bringing an animal sacrifice, but about turning away from sin and trusting in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross (Hebrews 9:12).

We've been praying for you, asking God to forgive your sins, break the hold of your addictions, and transform your life. We've asked Him to open doors for a job and guide you to a godly spouse. We believe in your potential for change, and we're here to support you.

Remember, we're saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our works or following old laws (Ephesians 2:8-9). Let's keep our focus on Him. And hey, let's not forget to mention Jesus' name. It's through Him that we have access to God and salvation (Acts 4:12).

Keep fighting, friend. We're in this together. Let's stay strong in our faith and trust in Jesus' power to transform our lives.
