Keeping the commandments

Where did this verse come from? How come I couldn’t see it before? 1cor7:19

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. 1 Cor 7:19 (NKJV)

For us who are homeschooling it is another (!) reminder to what God told us was most important concerning education. His law!

Our education should make a distinction , knowing what counts, is more important than, knowing how to count. Some wise man said that.

I was Government schooled and taught to walk…… according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them," Jer 9:14 (NKJV)

This is the default setting in all of our hearts if we are not taught to embrace Gods Law. This by itself should cause all Christians to get their children out of Caesars hands. But we have been firmly taught a new faith, to believe in neutral areas of life.

…Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord; So what wisdom do they have? Jer 8:9 (NKJV)

Without the holy spirit in dwelling in them , the Israelites were told they could know God…..

...But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the Lord. Jer 9:24 (NKJV)

In a radio interview I heard the Botkin girls say that when they were 13 they were given Rushdoonys institutes to read. Vol 1 exposits and shows applications of Gods Law in a book that is itself the size of the bible. With His law you can see Gods judgment, and righteousness in the earth it is all a part of him exercising lovingkindness.
