1 | Am I under Jewish Law? | Rom 8:4 | Reighnskye | 135645 | ||
Doc, I'm not aware of any moral "law" that exists within our universe, beyond what people write down in law books. I believe that there are divine universal "principles" which are above any of our man-made moral law systems, but these "principles" are not the same thing as "law". I am not a believer that there are any moral laws existent within the higher spiritual realms. I believe that moral laws are only existent in the lower mortal (earthly) or possibly hellish realms. I believe that when divine love and truth are cognized in the higher spiritual realms, that the lesser carnal consciousness, dominated by moral laws pertaining to sins, will fade away. Law consciousness brings sin consciousness, which plummets the soul into death. But Christ came to wash away the consciousness of sin, which acts as a destroyer of the soul. I suggest that there is no moral law in the spiritual realm. Moral law is only fit for sinners and fallen angels. - Heb 10:2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

The moral law include such things as the prohibition from lying, murdering, stealing, coveting, or having any other God other than the Lord. The moral law does not just condemn. It validates the eternal righteousness of God Himself. | ||||||

Doc, Prohibitions are laws. Laws restrict and condemn, no? Laws concerning lying, murder, stealing, coveting and such. All these make reference to sin. Indeed, the moral law (as demonstrated in the Law of Moses and partially represented in secular government) demonstrates the justice of God upon a sinful and fallen humanity. But moral prohibitions (laws) such as lying, murder, stealing and coveting are not remotely necessary in a spiritual place where there are no sinners. The God of Law (whether it be the Law of Moses, "moral law" or secular law systems) only manifests to a fallen humanity, who live in a morally corrupt society. Conversely, the God of Love is everywhere. PS. I'm not saying that there are multiple "Gods" here. Rather, I'm saying that God appears differently in different realms. God can appear rather ugly to sinners, but sinners cannot see God's truest form. The God of justice and moral law is merely a shadow of the God of love. This veil is removed in Christ. Although legal prohibitions (moral law, secular law, Law of Moses) are necessary to keep the sinful soul in check, no such laws ever apply to a regenerate spirit. From what source shall we find our truest identity? - 1 John 4 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Greatest attribute of God is not love. It is holiness... if there is no moral law, than how can be no holiness? Furthermore, you forget the words of our Lord Jesus when He said, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." (John 15:10). I've advised you before, and will continue to do so: You need to familiarize yourself with antinomianism. That is the theological position you are taking, although you haven't yet articulated its strongest arguments. |

Doc, Well, thank you for expounding this time at least. I hope you're not just attempting to amass a large quantity of posts with your overly brief answers. Some people here are focused on actual discussion. And I'm not aware that you've ever mentioned antinomianism to me before. Are you suggesting that I am secretly an antinomianist? Why don't you enlighten me? But please do so with a bit of scripture this time, if you would. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
