of Life (Mat 22:40, Rom 6:6, Gal 3:10-13). One tree, that of knowledge - the
unfulfilled Law - the Law as commandment (Gen 2:17, Rom 3:20, Col 2:14), was
hung upon another, the Tree of Life (Gal 3:13), and as a mystery they are both the
same Tree as the Law is God (Deut 28:58, 29:21, 30:10, John 1:1, 14, Rev 22:18-
19) as is Christ (Mat 5:17-19, John 1:1. 14). God is the Law, meaning that He is
both the unfulfilled and fulfilled Law (John 1:1, Rev 22:18-19). All
commandments in the Word are part of the Law (Deut 28:58, 29:21, 30:1, Mat 3:2,
5:17-19, 11:13, Luke 16:16-17, John 1:6-7, Rom 7:12, Gal 3:10, 1 John 3:4, Rev
22:19). The Word is, as a mystery, both the unfulfilled Law and the fulfilled Law
(Deut 30:10, Mat 5:17-20, John 1:1, 14, Rom 10:4, Rev 22:13, 18-19). The written
Law is the written Word (Deut 30:10, Gal 3:10, Rev 22:18-19). ‘These’ in
Matthew 5:19 refers to the commandments of the Old Testament and those of Jesus
and refers therefore to the commandments of the Word (Mat 5:19, ‘least in the
kingdom of heaven’). What existed, in flesh and prophetic manifestation, after
John the Baptist arrived was the non-Law Way of Salvation (Mat 3:2, 11:13, Luke
16:16, John 1:6-7). The two great commandments are two out of many in the Law
and therefore part of the Law (Lev 19:18, Deut 6:5, Luke 10:26-28) but, as a
mystery, are also superordinate to the Law through the fulfillment (Mat 22:40).
The two great commandments, leading as they do to Salvation and the process of
Charity, fulfil and establish the Law (Rom 3:31) and therefore the Law and the
Prophets ‘hang’ upon them (Mat 22:40).

Any one sin is a sin against the whole Law which means if you commit one sin you
have committed them all (Jam 2:10, 1 John 3:4), the only escape from this is to be
a Christian (Gal 3:10-11, Col 2:14).

Continual failure to obey the two great commandments can lead to the
unforgivable Sin but is not that sin (Rev 2:4).

A Christian that remains so only ever commits one type of sin namely that against
the two great commandments (John 14:21, Rom 6:23, 10:4, 14:4, 1 John 1:8, 3:4,
9, 5:16) and all Christians continually sin against these two commandments but are
righteous even as they do so (Rom 8:1, 26, 1 John 1:8, 2:12). What a Christian
should think, say or do in a given situation is to be discerned in the light of the two
great commandments as they are interpreted by the whole Word (2 Tim 3:16, Rev
22:18-19). There is complete flexibility as to particular thoughts, words and deeds
according to the situation, with the Holy Ghost within being the interpreter of
circumstances and situations as it interprets them by reference to the two great
commandments (Eccl 3:1, Rom 8:27-28, 13:7, 1 Cor 10:23, Col 2:11-23, Jam 2:10,
1 John 3:4). The only absolutes for Christians are the two great commandments
