1 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | bubbatate | 53899 | ||
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 |

Hello Bub I got it very well. You said the Pharisees obscured/obstructed/amended/amplified the basic Torah. Paul was a Pharisee. His teaching must be corrupted because the body of knowledge he received was corrupted. Paul's teaching is then no longer objective and cannot be used for any proof. You attempted to use Rom 2--that there is a righteousness through the Law. What law? We have no basis of comparison. Was Paul speaking of Torah? Was he speaking of the Mosaic Covenant? Was he speaking of the Pharisaic additions? Was he speaking of a commonly used body of teaching that included all of the above? We have nothing to say which is correct. And if those are incorrect, we might as well cut them out of our Bibles, because they are useless. Steve |
