1 | Are we free from KEEPING the Law? | Ex 20:8 | Searcher56 | 119564 | ||
Point out a specific verse where it says we do not have to keep the Law. The Law couldn't and can't save, so Jesus had to come to complete what the Law wasn't able to do. Hebrews shows that. Again, point out a specific verse where it says we do not have to keep the Law. Because, if you can, then you are saying that we can disobey God's commandments, which includes the OT. |

2 | Are we free from KEEPING the Law? | Ex 20:8 | Rowdy | 119612 | ||
I'd like to refer you to post no 119610. Is it possible we can agree to that understanding as stated between Kalos and myself? Is that the position you're advocating? Please let me know as I'd like to get this kind of discussion behind us and move on to something more productive. God bless. --Rowdy | ||||||
3 | Are we free from KEEPING the Law? | Ex 20:8 | Searcher56 | 119680 | ||
I am saying that we cannot disobey the OT, except for the blood sacrifices (Hebrews 9-10). The OT Law had a penalty, which we are no longer under, when we accept Christ. | ||||||
4 | Are we free from KEEPING the Law? | Ex 20:8 | Rowdy | 119716 | ||
Where's your scripture supporting your statement? Where is the scripture telling us which portion of the OT to follow and which to not follow? Do you have any direct responses to the main points of my post? Do you have any scriptures that speak directly and countering the scriptures I used in that same post? God bless. --Rowdy |

So let me see if I understand you. Heb 9-10 has done away with the practice of blood sacrifices but you reject what the rest of Hebrews says about the superiority of the NT over the OT. Also how do you deal with Paul's admonition to the Galatians Gal 5:16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. Why would you treat these two groups of instructions so differently especially since they were almost certainly written by the same human author and inspired by God? Please explain. In my professional world, I deal with contracts and contract law. When we issue a contract with an ambiguous set of clauses, the contractor can take advantage of the buyer by focusing on that ambiguity and interpret whichever way he can get away with and guess what. The courts will support that position. Why? Because the issuer of the contract was obligated to make certain the clauses are NOT ambiguous but when they conflict with one another, the issuer takes it on the chin. Surely, you don't think our God would author such an ambiguous position as the one I've described on previous posts with reference to marriage and divorce, forgiveness for enemies and lust for a woman out of marriage, our primary day of worship. To me these differences must be reconciled; one set of laws must submit to the other. Please respond with your position on these points. I really appreciate your perseverance and God bless. --Rowdy |
