82 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | djconklin | 24843 | ||
No. What he is saying is that Jesus is the "telos" of the law. "Telos" here is not temporal but goal.* Jesus is the goal of the law in two ways: 1) The motivating power for the law is love and God is love, love is the fulfillment of the law. 2) When we do sin we have an advocate with the Father; so the Law drives us to Jesus as our Savior--it shows us our need. *"How can we determine what Paul was trying to say in this verse? To decide such a scriptural controversy, one ideally should take into account three kinds of information: 1) The history of the way the passage in question has been interpreted by the Christian community through the centuries. 2) The ways in which a questionable word is used in other texts, especially other biblical texts with similar grammatical constructions. 3) The meaning of the passage in its immediate context and in the larger context of the book in which it appears. Fortunately, all three types of information about Romans 10:4 are available in the book Christ the End of the Law: Romans10.4 in Pauline Perspective (JSOT Press, Sheffield, England, 1985), the doctoral dissertation of Robert Badenas, an evangelical New Testament scholar. In this article, I will summarize Badenas findings, which present a clear resolution to our question about the meaning of the phrase "Christ is the end of the law." To put the current debate about the meaning of Romans 10:4 in context, it will be helpful to look at the history of how this verse has been understood by Christians. Dr. Badenas surveys this history in the first chapter of his book. It is especially interesting to see how Rom. 10:4 was explained by the early church fathers. Being much closer than we are to Paul's own setting, patristic sources may be more closely in touch with the concerns that led Paul to write his epistle to the Romans."

Good point Nolan. In addition we might note that love also fulfills the law. So, if we have the love of Christ within us we wouldn't do anything that would violate the law. This verse is quite interesing for to undetstand it we need to look at three crucial things and what they mean: telos (end), nomos (law) and finally the context of this passage (immediate, larger and historical). Luckily, there's source on the wbe that has simplified our work for us: http://www.graceandknowledge.beliefnet.com/telos.html. Here's a small part: "Fortunately, all three types of information about Romans 10:4 are available in the book Christ the End of the Law: Romans10.4 in Pauline Perspective (JSOT Press, Sheffield, England, 1985), the doctoral dissertation of Robert Badenas, an evangelical New Testament scholar.

"This is why we can be accepted by God, not by what have done or can do, but by what Jesus did, and enter that by faith." Well said! That's why Paul cited Hab. 2:4 in Rom. 1:17. |

85 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | djconklin | 28637 | ||
With respect to the 613 precepts (or commandments) which include the Ten Words (or Ten Commandments) the Jewish people as a whole have never observed them all as tenets applicable to every individual. Among these precepts are those only applicable to the High Priest, some only to the priests, then some only to Levites, then some only to Israelites and among the Israelites some only applicable to men and some only applicable to women and then strangers or non Israelites. If you read some of the so-called 613 laws you find that they are simply expansions of the 10--for instance, they might have 5-6 that just deal with the first commandment. What Jesus was getting at was the principle that is behind the law--our motivation for obeying should be love; that is, if you truly love your neighbor and God with all your heart, mind and strength then you won't do anything that is contrary to the mere words of the law. That is why Paul could say that love is the fulfillment of the law. |

I can't see the original post but from what is cited here this (lloking for a command) seems to be a rather legalistic approach. | ||||||

Good points kalos! They were partly right in the 60's when they said that love is the answer--they just weren't looking at the source! |

88 | Paul's intrepretative method | Rom 10:16 | djconklin | 28700 | ||
From this verse through 11:16 Paul uses a number of OT texts to make the case for Israel's unbelief in Jesus. At first glance Paul seems to ignore the context of those verses. However given his Christological perpsective his intrepretations are quite reasonable. These verses are a good test case to study Paul's interpretaive methods. Here's a study that looks at it closely: http://www.balboa-software.com/hahne/Rom10-11Citations.pdf | ||||||

This is an excellant example of where it is imperative to re-read the text after reading some commentator. Paul is not talking about "eating one kind of food, and abstaining from another"; the verse explicitly says "concerning the food of the idol sacrifices". | ||||||

from the study: "Five conclusions can be drawn from this study, the first three already well-known. First, chapters 10–13, rightly considered as a united major and self-contained part of Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, are far from monolithic, certainly streamlined in sections but not as a whole. Second, the Fool’s Speech itself (11,22–12,10) is not of one piece; it is characterized by many shifts in the content and it is often interrupted by reflexive remarks and new starts. Third, notwithstanding pleas, hesitations and interruptions, 11,1-21 can be called the introduction to the Fool’s Speech. Fourth, the wider context contains a very small hortatory frame (10,1 and 13,11), a double defense of Paul’s apostolic authority (10,2-18 and 13,1-10), and also a double clarification of his conviction that, notwithstanding outer appearance and refusal of support, he is not inferior to the other missionaries (11,5-12 and 12,11b-18). One can speak, therefore, of three unequal rings which loosely surround the discourse, each with its own thematic emphasis: parenesis, authority, denial of inferiority. Fifth, in 10,8.12-18 and 11,3-4.12-15.18-20, Paul compares himself with opponents, blames and denigrates them; it would seem that in these small sections Paul prepares himself, through comparison and invective, to proceed to something he does not like to do, that is, to boast in a foolish way26. However, the boasting of titles gives way, almost at once, to boasting of hardships and weakness. Lack of perfect organisation does not prove lack of unity and absence of inner connections. Therefore, one must not deny the prevailing coherence of 2 Cor 10–13. In 12,19 Paul claims: ‘In God’s sight we speak in Christ; beloved, all [is done] for your upbuilding’. This basic intention applies, of course, to the emphasis present in the three rings: moral exhortation, personal authority and denial of inferiority (vilification of the opponents included), but equally to what he expounds in his Fool’s Speech, boasting foolishly, and then paradoxically boasting of his weaknesses. In a lengthy discourse, surrounded by an equally extensive context, Paul shows how the power of Christ is made perfect in his human weakness. Paul depicts his so-called weaknesses but also, in them, his God-given human strength: whenever Paul is weak, then he is strong (cf. 12,9-10)." These kinds of studies are important because they show how Paul has organized his material. With this in mind it becomes easier to understand other complicated passages. |

Will she know the same the con artists in the field claim they were called by God? I've met some who claimed to be called by God and found them to be lazy and teaching us their own cherished beliefs rather than those of the Bible. The rest of your post was excellant! |
