RoS, What do we do with the OT and the Law? You agreed that "we are in a new dispensation and are no longer under the law." Does that mean we don't have to obey the Law? If so, why do we need the Law recorded in our Bible? Cite Scripture. |

OT written law was a gift given to Isreal that by "doing" they would not run afoul of the laws of sowing and reaping with increase found in Gen 1:11. All seeds must reproduce after there own kind, and since the fall of Adam we now have the ability to handle,sow and reap from seeds that have destructive consequences. Jesus fulfilled the requirements of law that required us to reap the harvest that is due for things done,harboured in heart or said (if we ask with a repentant heart). Jesus recieves the harmfull harvest and we recieve the good. OT law can now be a guide to help us to not sow seeds of harmfull content which is the whole point of repentance. Other parts of the law are a shadow of the type that is revealed in the NT. | ||||||

Searcher, In Mark 4:14 Jesus reveals that words are seeds, verse :13 tells us that an understanding of this is helpful in understanding other parables. Gal 6:7,8 tells us that "whatever" a man (or woman) sows he will reap (seedtime and harvest). Sowing to the flesh reaps corruption (v:8)is something other than nature that is viewed with natural eyes. 1 Cor 9:6 informs us that money is also considered by God as seed that can be sown on earth and reaped with increase (v:7 examines the motive of the heart in this but the law of seedtime and harvest is present). Luke 6:38 in the light of verses :27-:37 speaks alot about giveing love and harvest of the same with increase. Matt 7:12 Therefore, however you want people to treat you,so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets (law being something that works the same way all the time),again seedtime and harvest. Genesis is not real clear when the laws of reciprocity, relativity, ect. were established on earth, however Gen 1:11 is the first recording of the earth reproduceing after its own kind. sonlight | ||||||

That is a very interesting analysis of the word seed ... why didn't you include Genesis 22:17-18? Plus, how does this answer "What do we do with the OT (Law)?" | ||||||

Deut 28 discribes various blessings (empowered to succeed)or curses (empowered to fail) that would come on the nation based on how they kept covenant. 1 Cor 12:28-34 discribes what the curse looks like in NT. Grace will keep us above the effects of law if we walk in love towards others. Failure to this, like not forgiveing someone, refusal to deal with selfish ways (love invests, selfishness takes),gossip,ect. causes us to be subject to the effects of law (sowing and reaping). Salvation places us in Gods family and is rather secure, however Heb 12:8-15 instructs us to cooperate with the subject of discipline (mostly the discipline like an athlete does to prepare). Jesus met the requirements of law on our behalf (if we recieve it ), however individual behavior can cause us to be subject to law again. Gal 3:24 tells us that law is like a tutor ( teaches a lesson), Gal 4:1-11 shows us that christians can be subject to bondage if our behavior is childish. We do not have to keep the OT law but reading to learn from those who ran before (1 Cor 10:11) instructs us in our race. | ||||||

YOU may choose to disobey what God wrote in the OT and the Law ... but, I will obey what He says, save sin sacrifice ... for He paid for it (Heb 9-10). | ||||||
