1 | Doers of the Law means...?? | Rom 2:13 | seedling | 143494 | ||
what does it mean doers of the Law? Does one just have to do the law to be justified. This is probably impossible nowadays. Does this mean doers are saved or does this is for ones who live before Christ? | ||||||
2 | Doers of the Law means...?? | Rom 2:13 | NewCovenant7777 | 143496 | ||
Oops, I did need to add that obviously when Jesus, who fulfilled the law lives the law through your crucified soul, The Father will see you as a "doer of the law". When you are in Christ all your sins are forgiven (past, present and future) as far as the east is from the west to be remembered no more. This is why Noah, Abraham, Paul, and Peter were declared righteous. I assure you they didn't keep the law perfectly and the truth is in their own strength they couldn't keep it at all as far as God is concerned. As you will read in Romans 3, "no one will be declared righteous by observing the law", but rather we are declared righteous by faith in Christ. Faith defined is Christ flowing through our crucified souls... Let me say this too, God telling us to "obey the law/be perfect" is like a parent setting his/her child up to fail with hopes that when they see they can't do what they were asked to do they will agree to do it the "right way". The "right way" in this case is again, letting Jesus, who fulfilled the law, to obey the law through your crucified soul. Simply put all God requires of us is for us to cooperate with the purpose for which we were created and that is for us to receive Him to live in and literally through us. Again, the purpose of the law is simply to reveal God's Holiness and our total depravity with hopes it will bring us to bow our knee and receive Him so that we can have life and it more abundantly in Him (has nothing to do with earthly prosperity, but rather treasure in New Jerusalem/Heaven...) Well, I got to get to bed...I hope this helps, again as the Lord leads, I will share more... |

3 | Doers of the Law means...?? | Rom 2:13 | kalos | 143505 | ||
A search for 'crucified soul' used in The King James Version (Authorized) failed to return any results. I.e., the term 'crucified soul' is nowhere to be found in the Bible (KJV). | ||||||
4 | Doers of the Law means...?? | Rom 2:13 | Hank | 143508 | ||
Kalos, the expression 'crucified soul' sounds as though it might fit in with the spirit and cadence of the Cotton Patch Gospel. You might wish to shop that version. I wouldn't mind at all seeing a few lines from the earthy Cotton Patch rendition. I feel it would be a balm to the soul to experience a refreshing change from much that I've seen on the Forum this Monday morning! --Hank | ||||||
5 | Doers of the Law means...?? | Rom 2:13 | kalos | 143535 | ||
Hank: I'm familiar with the Cotton Patch Gospel, having read it decades ago when it first came out. At the time I thought it was a little offbeat. Since then the word "offbeat" has been re-defined. Soon normal will be considered offbeat and offbeat will be considered normal. :-) Captain Kangaroo would be an improvement over much that I've seen on the Forum this morning. Certainly Bunny Rabbit and Mr. Green Jeans would be more edifying. Kalos |
