1 | What does judgement look like | 2 Cor 5:10 | bill0624 | 214022 | ||
What is the difference, Tim? Here is a verse from the book of Leviticus: 'You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.' - Lev 19:19 In this verse, God says not to plant two different kinds of plants in a field. He also says not to wear a garment that has been made from two different kinds of materials (blends). How would you explain to someone that this verse is authoritative for you (that this verse demonstrates God's authority over how you plant and how you dress) but that it is NOT applicable to you (despite the authority of the verse, it doesn't apply to you)? I'm not trying to be contentious, Tim. I really want to know. How can you assert that this verse is authoritative over you but that it doesn't apply to you? If this verse is authoritative over you concerning planting and garments, shouldn't it, by definition, apply to you? If not, why not? |

Please do! Someone may benefit from reading sound doctrine... :-) We should remember that many read along. John |

John, To be honest with you, if I were to throw my two cents in at this point it would only serve to make matters worse. We are discussing with a new member who is very strong in some views that are outside the main. This, of course, I kind of like personally. It gives a chance to force someone to defend such understandings. If I jump in right now, you and I both know that it would make this discussion get a bit out of hand. I don't hold to the "main" on how to interpret the Law and what is applicable to Christians today and bringing this up right now may not be helpful. You'll notice I have stepped back from most of those discussions for awhile, because based on my past posts, one might think that the Law is the only thing I can discuss. Plus, I'm here to learn as much as share and beating one drum isn’t being helpful I don't think. MJH PS- Between you and me and those looking in. Bill0624 needs to be pressed on why he thinks the Messiah would or could disagree with or overturn Moses and still be the Messiah. After all, the most often repeated phrase in the entire Bible is, “and God told Moses to say….” |

MJH, you seem to be a fair individual so I'll reply to you. Jesus disagreed with Moses about the "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" policy in Jesus' "...you have heard it said, but I tell you" passages. Jesus didn't stone the woman caught in adultery even though this is what the Law of Moses demanded. As I've stated in another posts, Jesus disagreed with Moses (and Joshua) that the way the people of God should treat their enemies is to kill them. Jesus' disagreed with Moses about honoring father and mother, Jesus said to hate father and mother if you wanted to be his disciple. Jesus himself claimed to be greater than Moses. This implies that he reveals more of God or more truth than Moses does. PS - Contrary to what some people here may think I think, I do believe that the whole Bible is scripture. But I don't believe that the whole Bible is applicable to us today. I see no way in which someone could claim that the whole Bible is authoritative for them and then say that some parts don't apply to them. I am at least honest about stating that the whole Bible doesn't apply to me. |

Bill, I'm not sure if you are here still or not, but there are good reasons why I'd rather have a private discussion should you desire. I'm not even sure if this thread is active anymore, but in either case, I still offer an email discussion. If that is at all of interest, then let me know and one of us can share an email address. I think for the forum, this discussion is pretty well worn out. As I said earlier, trying to debate so many people at one time gets too confusing. MJH |
