In Matthew 5:17, Jesus says He didn't come to do away with "the law and the prophets" but to fulfill them, and how everything it says will come to pass.
Then in Matthew 7:12 He says "this is the Law and the prophets.
What is the law and the prophets He's saying in this verse? "Treat your fellow person as you want them to treat you."
So if the law and prophets fulfillment is all treating one another as they would be treated.. where are the flames? The flames are only good ones!
:Peace2: As my husband might say "am I wrong?" ( :laughing7: I usually say yes.)
12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

The Law was written on stone, but the Gospel is written on our hearts. It was engraved in us, by God, Himself.
It is how we are made in His image and likeness.
And, when we love, we connect what He has put in us, with Him. We are One. We are able to share the Light.
We become the Light of the World!

Amen D ,
For me , the stones are meant to be built up as a temple to the living God[old testament ] and not thrown at one another
The law is good as building blocks upon one another , but it is the LORDS SPIRIT that fills the temple with Light and Life with new purpose and meaning making all things new ..
It took the LORDS FLESH to lift the veil of death off the faces of mankind / Adam to SEE the revealing of Jesus Christ , the Light has come ....
2 Cor 3 Ministers of a New Covenant
1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 2You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 3It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink
but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4Such confidence before God is ours through Christ. 5Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us,
but our competence comes from God. 6And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
The Glory of the New Covenant
(Exodus 34:29-35)
7Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,
8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
9For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious,
how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness! 10Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it. 11For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!
12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.
14
But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant.
It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed. 15And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord,
who is the Spirit. JESUS IS Opening our minds up to heavens glory :dsunny: :HeartThrob:
Amen Sisters!!
