1 | Correct Understanding of verses? | Bible general Archive 4 | justme | 219202 | ||
I was reading a note written by our dear Brother Hank, who now is with the Father the Son and Holy Spirit. Hank wrote this back in 2001, so his wisdon continues on. Hank suggested the person read Titus 3:9. Hank was in a dialogue about the LAW. Recent there has been some dialogue abouth this very subject. It pains me that those who believe the keeping of the LAW are so adamant that those who do not believe the way they do, are or as I understand their dialogue, not true believers. My question is keeping the LAW not more than just keeping the Ten Commandments? I believe there are many more rules besides the Ten Comandments, is this not so? I think Hebrews 6:4-6 addresses this, am I correct in this understanding of these verses. I know these are a good number of questions. I am seeking to see if my understanding of the above questions is correct or am I in error. Thank you for you time to answer my questions. justme |

Hello, Your quotation is accurate but taken out of context. As given here the quote appears to demonstrate that obey the law makes one righteous. That is not correct. Later, Paul writes: Romans 3:19-20 (ESV) Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. [20] For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Since obeying the law does not justify anyone, how can Paul say that obedience to the law will justify? Paul's point in chapter two (as you follow it through to chapter four) is to make plain the fact that he is comparing the Jews who hear the law and do nothing because they really do not believe it to Gentiles who have not heard the law but instinctively do part of it. He is trying to point out that the high-minded Jews are no better than the barbarians mentioned in chapter one. Then he summarizes in chapter three that ALL men are sinners and we cannot do ANY work to justify ourselves. Steve |
