Dear Steve………… You just don’t get it do you??????????? Torah (translated “law”) means “teaching”…..it can be anybody’s teaching unless it is clear through the examination of the context whose teachings are being referred to….are you with me so far, Steve? When Paul is speaking NEGATIVELY about the “law”…….is it conceivable that he was speaking of the teachings of his LORD? God forbid! My point was, he must have been referring to someone else’s teaching when he was speaking AGAINST the “law” for he surely would not speak against a “thus saith the LORD”. I apologize for having poor communication skills. Singing the song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb……..Bub |

Paul never spoke NEGATIVELY about the "law." He understood it perfectly: its intended purposes, and what it is not able to do. Not once, however, does he speak ill of the Law. With all due respect, it is you who does not "get it." You make the opposite mistake of those who say that the law of God has no use for the Christian, in that you want to make the commands and ordinances tied solely to the Old Covenant applicable to those who were never part of that covenant community. Both views are in error by failing to see that God's moral commandments regarding righteous behavior, while contained in the Law of Moses, transcend the Law as well. As such, you are arguing past each other, and neither one of you can address my support of God's moral law and the acknowledgement that the sacrificial and ceremonial laws have passed away with the Old Covenant. Neither your view nor the antinomian view is supported by the whole counsel of God. --Joe! |
