Well, I don't want to sin, but I'm not under the law. I don't want to drive 80 mph or I'll get a ticket. It is wrong. I don't want to murder anyone because it is a sin and it is wrong to do so. I will go to jail, etc. There are laws of the land - If I don't obey them I can go to jail, get into legal trouble. So I am just saying we are not under the law, like you quoted in Matthew, Jesus fulfilled the Law. Jesus taught under the Law. The New Covenant of God's grace did not go into effect until the death of Christ, not at the birth of Christ. You just do not have an understanding of Law and Grace, New Covenenant / Old Covenant, and that is O.K. I know what I believe and why I believe it. I know that it is not God's Law that keeps me from not sinning. It is His love and my response to His love. He loved us first and I am His child, like I said before. If you are still going to pin labels on me, I have nothing more to say to you because I am not going to argue with you or anyone. Bottom line - you don't understand. |

Valoree - Having known your correspondent Doc for some time and having had considerable exposure to his writings and his ideas, I must say that he is far more astute than you appear to give him credit for being. Moreover, in human dialogue the failure of the hearer to understand is often closely related to the failure of the speaker to communicate clearly. To a degree of which many of us are either unaware or unwilling to admit, we all of us live in glass houses and should throw stones cautiously and prudently, if indeed at all. Hank | ||||||

I never said Doc was not astute, he just may not understand what I believe to be true. You can be astute and not understand the meaning of Scripture. Or, you cannot be astute and still not understand the meaning of Scripture - because only the Holy Spirit can reveal the truth of the Scripture to us.It doesn't matter how young or how old you are, or if you quote from the writers who are deceased. What really matters is what are we going to do with Jesus Christ and what He did for us. I am not throwing stones. I will list some verses that clearly teach we are not under the Old Covenant but under the New Covenant. In human dialogue, the failure of the hearer to understand is often closely related to the fact that they have been brought up a certain way or have listened to man and not God. That was certainly my case. At any rate I will share God's Word that helped me to discover the Grace of God: I. The Purpose of the Law. A. The Law is for the lost. Romans 3:19-20 (New International Version) 19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. 1 Timothy 1:8-10 (New International Version) 8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine. B. The Law Shows Man His Need for Salvation. Galatians 3:19-24 (New International Version) 19What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. 20A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. 21Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. 23Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 24So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. II. What the Law is Powerless to Do. A. The Law Cannot Make us Righteous. Galatians 2:21 (New International Version) 21I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" B. The Law Cannot Justify Us. Galatians 2:16 (New International Version) 16know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. Galatians 3:11 (New International Version) 11Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." C. The Law Cannot Give Life. Romans 7:10 (New International Version) 10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. Galatians 3:21 (New International Version) 21Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. To be continued . . . |
