1 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | swerv | 146407 | ||
Mark: Jerusalem council only dealt with the controversial issues of gentiles coming out of idol worship and their dietary customs. Malachi 3:6 He gave us law to point out our sin. 1 John 2:4, Rom. 7:12, 14 Through Christ we can do all things. God expects us to be obedient out of love. In the OT even the sacrifices could not take away their sins. Actually, once a year they were again reminded of there sins for the whole year. They could not forget their sin because the Saviour had not yet come and died. But their faith in God and obedience to atone for their sin with symbolic sacrifices pointed them to Christ. I do not think anyone with the right heart could slay a little lamb and not feel the pain of their sins which was put onto the lamb. Jesus's shed blood took away forever the guilt of sin as long as we repent of it. After repenting the Holy Spirit will give us the power to sin no more. But we still need to guide (law) to keep us from slipping off the path to God. Noah found grace in the eyes of God but if he was not obedient to build the ark - would he still have been saved by God ??????? Faith requires action (Faith without works is dead !!) We as a Christian community have been beaten down with false doctrine. (Sabbath, diet, prophecy, hell ..) I challege you !!! (Math. 15:3) |

Merv, Ac 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. The council at Jerusalem met to consider "circumcision (the beginning of keeping the Law) and the Law of Moses" - the Law of Moses is inclusive - all the Law of Moses. These, and other things which you have been disputing, are clear writtings of scripture, and you can listen to them or not, however, I am not interested in endless debate, so I wish you well. Love in Christ, Mark |

Ro 14:1 ¶ Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 1Co 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. |
