5562 | How literal is the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 135736 | ||
Thank you, Hank. You always hit the nail on the head! When I use the term interpretation, I use it in the 1 Peter 1:20 sense. This question of "literalism" always bothers me. People treat you like you're ignorant for taking the scripture at face value. I wonder how far our legal system would get if we didn't use proper hermeneutics in the interpretation of secular documents? | ||||||

If you will be patient, I will respond in a couple of days. Don't think that I am ignoring it. It is a very good question! | ||||||

Regarding my "advising" statement: I apologize. Apparently I was thinking of another person in the forum with whom I have had this discussion. It is hard enough keeping terms straight, let alone keeping profile names straight! | ||||||

I prefer a more solidly theological definition: Antinomian: a.) Denial of the binding nature of any external laws on personal behavior, b.) Denial that the OT moral law remains in effect for Christians. --Data Rat Theological Terms Antinomian: Literally, against the law. Antinomians teach that the law is no longer applicable in the life of the Christian. (see "Legalism"). --Dictionary of Theological Terms, Don Matzat Antinomy is derived from the two Greek words anti meaning "over against" and nomos meaning "law." An antinomian is one who denies that there is any objective law or standard of obedience in the New Testament age to which the believer is accountable. --Revised Common Lectionary, Anglican Church It is considered heretical in some circles. You would generally find, however, a consensus among many Americans who define it as you have when they state "I am no longer under the law, but only under the law of love." If you want it better characterized, you will need to look beyond the article that you have sited. There are many solidly theological works on antinomianism and nomianism. These are not new ideas. Christ and the apostles discuss these things frequently throughout the New Testament. You might want to take the word "law," and look at every reference in the NT, gradually building up an idea of what God actually has to say on the matter. I apologize, but that sort of study is beyond the scope of any given entry in our forum. |

Look back at more than the last fifty of my posts. This is well trodden ground. | ||||||
5567 | Am I under Jewish Law? | Rom 8:4 | DocTrinsograce | 135698 | ||
Greatest attribute of God is not love. It is holiness... if there is no moral law, than how can be no holiness? Furthermore, you forget the words of our Lord Jesus when He said, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." (John 15:10). I've advised you before, and will continue to do so: You need to familiarize yourself with antinomianism. That is the theological position you are taking, although you haven't yet articulated its strongest arguments. |

What is the single attribute of God that is repeated three times for emphasis? There is only one. It is not love. | ||||||
5569 | Am I under Jewish Law? | Rom 8:4 | DocTrinsograce | 135658 | ||
The moral law include such things as the prohibition from lying, murdering, stealing, coveting, or having any other God other than the Lord. The moral law does not just condemn. It validates the eternal righteousness of God Himself. | ||||||

There I go... posting without thinking... and then I'm reading James, right at the end of the first chapter... and then you go and post a comment like that, Brother Tim! This isn't leaving me any squirming room, that's for sure. Thank you for holding us to a higher standard, Tim. I apologize to my brethren for failing to walk worthy of my calling. |

Wounded to the quick, Dalcent! Wounded to the quick! The Council of Trent only anathematized me... the Inquisition tortured my ancestors... somehow I will manage to survive your attempts to traduce me! (Hadn't you said goodbye earlier?) |

Oh... scriptural evidence... I'm sorry, I thought this was a non-sola scriptura thread.... let's see... 1. Procreation (Gen 1:22, 28; 8:17; 9:1, 7; Heb 13:4) 2. Indeed (Matthew 1:20) 3. Tough act to follow (Matthew 13:55) Yes, but then, Old, dead guys, don't shed much light. Sorry. |

Sorry about the gender misunderstanding. In that case, you are right, the responsibility would not be with your spouse to provide for you. Of course, it is not prohibited, either. A good Proverbs 31 wife would be doing her best to make good use of the resources God provides. Gratefully, we are not yet at a stage where our government watches everything we do. The onus of responsibility is on us to notify them of changes in our status that effect their dealing with us. So, unless you plan on talking to them about your public marriage, it would be concealment by omission, which is lying. Furthermore when you accept each payment check, you are tacitly agreeing to the terms whereby you received it. The law bases many of its decisions on something we inherited from the British called "common law." If you live long enough with a woman, or you declare her your wife to others, you have what is called a common law marriage. Although this marriage has no ceremony, license, or vows, it is considered a legal marriage. Although many people now equivocate on these laws in order to avoid one thing or another, nevertheless they have prevailed for quite some time. This kind of marriage would be no different -- legally -- to the kind you are describing. One sure way to find out, however, is to do the following: Give the government office in question a call and explain to them your situation. Explain the kind of marriage you will be having and how it is not the kind in which they are interested. See how they respond. :-) You should also consider that you might be interfering with how God chooses to provide for you. He will always use means that will not be questionable to anyone. Remember, what does it matter how much money you have, as long as you belong to God? Submit entirely to Him, and He will see to it that these things are provided. I'd also give pause to the entire plan. When we are to move, God always provides the means by which we can do so. Sometimes lacking the resources is a way that God closes door. You asked, "Would a medically handicapped male, unable to work, also be termed as being worse than an infidel?" Only if you had the means to provide for your family and you failed to do so. In Him, Doc |

I'll see you Irenaeus, Origen and Athanasius, and I'll raise you Marcion, Origen, Pelagius, and ... hmmm lets see ... and Torquemada. :-) Seriously, though... Didn't Tertullian's eventual resistance to God's grace as evidenced by his apostasy, raise questions about the correctness of his doctrine? Jude tells us that false teachers are always characterized by bearing the eventual fruit of immorality and godlessness. In the eyes of Romanism, is it possible to enter God's grace, exit it, and enter it again? Thank you for your clarifications, Dalcent. |

Welcome back, Emmaus! You asked, "why didn't Jesus just clarify the matter if they were misunderstanding?" I often hear the world declare Christ declared as a great teacher, and so He was. However, Christ was not educating the masses -- especially the ones who wanted Him to be King so that they could have a life of liesure, like those in John 6. Christ was teaching His sheep, not the world. In fact, the disciples once asked Him why He didn't speak more plainly. Christ answered by saying He taught that way intentionally so that the world would *not* understand! (Matthew 13:10-17) I have said it before... and I'll say it again, no doubt... there is nothing "mere" about symbols. God takes His symbols very seriously. I don't know how to communicate this to a Romanist -- and I do not mean this in a critical manner -- but you lot are so steeped in symbols, that making this statement cannot carry the weight for you that it does for us. I will consider this carefully to see if I can find a way to communicate it to you with greater clarity. In the mean time, each time you say "mere symbol" you reveal that you have missed the point we are seeking to make. We don't need to agree with one another -- but at least we should be clear about what we do not agree about! In Him, Doc |
