1 | Agreed, but on that note.... | Prov 28:9 | Eliyahu | 161994 | ||
I agree to these verses you have posted. But there's something else in my spirit that is calling out to me about walking in righteousness. In Yeremyahu (Jeremiah) 31:33, it says that the Covenant that is coming, being mediated by the Meshiach, would write the Torah upon our hearts. It will not be as before where the Torah is written on parchment for us to read and try to measure ourselves up to, but it will be a new nature within us, replacing our carnal nature. Hence, in walking by the Spirit given to us (I John 3:24), we keep the Torah by nature. So that leaves me with this question: If the Messiah writes the Torah upon our hearts, that we keep it because it is our new nature, why don't I see this in our modern churches? Is something missing in today's church? I'm not trying to preach legalism, but at the same time, I'm certainly not going to promote "illegalism" (or lawlessness) either. Any thoughts? Shalom. |

Dear Eliyahu, There are many doctrines in the modern church: Antinomianism, Legalism, Finneyism, Word of Faith, Liberal Theology, Synergism, Neo-Orthodoxy, Religious Pluralism, Syncretism, Relativism, Mysticism, etc. etc. Where the Word of God is neglected, nothing prospers but the tares. If the church is no different than the world, it should not surprise us when it lacks power and purity. In Him, Doc "Men today do not, perhaps, burn the Bible, nor does the Roman Catholic Church any longer put it on the Index, as it once did. But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history...." --Francis Schaeffer "God has not deserted his Church; He has brought her through even darker hours than those which try our courage now, yet the darkest hour has always come before the dawn. We have today the entrance of paganism into the Church in the name of Christianity. But in the second century a similar battle was fought and won. And another Reformation in God's good time will come." --J. Gresham Machen |
