Law; Basic, Intermediate, and AdvancedНамуна

Intermediate

At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus gave a great sermon, where 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.

You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, "You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’"But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.

You have heard that it was said, "You shall not commit adultery.’"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

You have heard that it was said, "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

If anyone thought they had the basics down, they just discovered that the intermediate is much harder.
