1Cor.7:35 This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.

How wonderful to attend to our Lord without distraction, that is, resting in faith without a constant state of wrangling over rules of do's or don't. Yes, resting in Holy peace of God through His Holy Spirit. If Paul put a law upon virgins he would ensnare them into a lack of peace in Holy Spirit. But instead Paul steps up here to faith, how? By trusting God's own workings in each of His children too bring them to the love of Christ Jesus. Yes, Paul understood what so many Christian's cannot, we our completed, and serve God in love, love is not forced upon us against our own will to make others obey what offends us.

Galatians 5:13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

Ephesians 1:4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love.

Love does not take control of a persons faith saying: “I know whats best for you, so I will make you do this because some day you will appreciated it.” Love gives, and suffers for righteousness sake, it hopes all things, and believes all things, what does this mean? It mean love believes in God's goodness, not ours own, but rather what God promises too us.

Love does not live in fear that if someone does something unrighteous God's love fails, those insecurities are from the our own unrighteous flesh. Love does not cross the line thinking God has placed the salvation of His own children upon us so we must act at times unrighteous too save some one. Act unrighteously, what does that mean? It mean creating a rule for the flesh, ensnaring other too do's and don't convincing them if they don't meet our rules they are condemned in Christ Jesus. There is no condemnation for those in Christ who walk by Spirit, and not the flesh, how can one use laws of the flesh without condemning those in the body of Christ Jesus?

Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."{Leviticus 19:18}

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

How can we bind others by laws that Christ Jesus has removed by his own life? Let us live in peace trusting in God's own love, let us teach truth in love, giving others the dignity God has given too us in make choices based upon their own God trained conscience.

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
