1 | Should this verse apply today? | Matt 15:4 | EdB | 15851 | ||
In this particular case is not the inverse also implied that your days will be shortened if you don't honor your parents. If in your argument the promise applies doesn't the inverse also? I also disagree with your interpretation that our freedom from the law applies to the condemnation inherent in breaking it. If your talking spiritual condemnation your right, however there is the societal aspects that must be considered. While we are not under the law we still do not condone murder, lying or thievery. Each still carry with it a punishment. Dishonoring a parent still has a God given societal punishment with it. The question is are we right or wrong for ignoring God’s prescription for breaking that commandment? |

2 | Should this verse apply today? | Matt 15:4 | Micah Burke | 17085 | ||
Societal aspects are not what I am talking about, by not being "under the law" it is refering to one not being under the law of God unto righteousness and salvation. Salvation comes not by keeping the law but by faith in Christ. This being said, the fruit of a spiritual life is shown by the believer in that he/she obeys God and doesn't break the law either Spiritual or Civil. The capability to do this is again, not inherient in every person but only in those with the Spirit in them. Micah |

3 | Should this verse apply today? | Matt 15:4 | EdB | 17098 | ||
Micah Okay we both agree we are not under the law spiritually. But this commandment carried a societal punishment which was death. I understand Jesus paid for our spiritual punishment but are you also saying he paid for our societal punishment? By that I mean if we catch a murderer should we just allow them to go free once they accept Jesus? I don’t think your saying that. So what are you saying? If someone breaks the this commandment two things happen, first he is in rebellion against God (sins), which is the spiritual aspect of this commandment. However there is also the societal aspect. Which is the second and carried a condemnation of death, this nothing to do with his salvation, he can be very much saved, but commandment says he should not be allowed to live among people. Now I realize our society would never stand for that, and I think this is what makes this question so interesting. By ignoring God’s command do we find ourselves in opposition to God once again? |

(I've written this message 3 times, only to have an error, when I go back it's GONE!) Christians are not under the Law (in Scripture) as a means to righteousness or salvation. They are not condemned by the law unto hell. However, this does not mean that Christians needn't obey God or civil laws. Civil law was established by the government, and it was established by God to provide justice. Civil law applies to Christians and therefore any penalty for crimes committed against it must be carried out. Micah |
