1 | The question stands | James 2:10 | charis | 19252 | ||
Dear Bill, Peace to you in Jesus' name! Brother, I have no argument against being a new creation in Christ Jesus! But honoring and revering the Old Testament as a perfectly complimentary 'teacher of Christ' could hardly be considered insulting. So now that you have 'finished with' your third grade English teacher (or college professor, or whatever), do you 'dismiss' them and void them from your memory? This would be to imply that YOU have graduated from their influence, and that YOU are better than they are. Sorry, but I don't have the ability to 'purge' myself from giving due respect and glory to the venerable (though superceded) Word of God. Nor have I come to the point that I, personally, am free from the life contained in the Old Testament. I do not consider myself to be 'under contract' to the Old Testament. But I will continue to read from it's holy pages and still learn. I find that mixing the 'intent' of the Law, and the fulfillment of the Law is not oil and water at all! In fact, I find the two to be very compatible. Please do not lump this together with those that worship the 'legal' Law and try to make us adhere to the letter. I, too, am set free from this bondage. :-) Out of curiosity I ask, have you read some of my other posts? I think that my heart would be evident to you if you had... In Christ Jesus, charis |

2 | The question stands | James 2:10 | Bill Mc | 19270 | ||
Dear charis, I agree with your post, brother. If you will read some of my other posts, you would also see that I feel that the OT has its place. And I agree with the 'intent.' But there are many who would not, and preach the 'letter' instead of the intent. They preach that we must keep the Old Covenant. While they have as much right to preach Old Covenant here as I do to point to the New, it would be a travesty to let them continually go unchallenged. Yes, I have read many of your other posts (not all, too time consuming) and I think I know you're heart. I think you do a great job here on this forum. Especially at keeping the peace. Thanks for your work. In Christ, Bill Mc |
