1 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | candy lee | 150432 | ||
The law that was contrary to us was the law which was kept in a pocket on the side of the Ark which was the law that goverened the sacrifices and the way that they were to be peformed. This law was not written by God's finger, but by a man's hand under the guidence of God. The tables of stone written by the finger of God were kept inside the Ark under the Mercy Seat with the two angels looking downward to the law of God which is a reflection of His character. We are to keep this law as a sign that we love Him and belong to Him so that His character is replecated in us.Eccl 12:13 Keeping the law does not earn you a place in the Kingdom, but keeping the law out of love to God being obedient to His commands shows that you are His and not of this world. It is also written, 1 Jn 2:3-6 Look at verse 4 He that saith, I know him,and keepht not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Jn 14:15 also. For this very reason is how we get to be the church of Laodiceia, because we have fallen away from the pure doctrine and keep traditions and make void the law of God. 2 Thes 2:3-12, Mt15:9 Mk 7:7. Eze 20:20 Isa 66:22,23 God is love and there is no greater love we can show to God and to others than the keeping of the law, for the law shows us our sin,like a mirror.Paul said he would not have known what sin was except for the law showed him. Rom 7:7, Rom 3:20,6:15-18. This is the love of God 1Jn 5:1-3. Only those who keep His commandments will avoid the mark of the beast Rev 14:12 Eze 20:12 Dan 7:25 Identify the one who thinks to change time and law. Who has tampered with God's Royal Law? | ||||||

Hi, Merv... Just curious... The law states "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you." (Deuteronomy 4:2) Therefore, if you fallow all but the sacrificial laws, you must surely follow these laws as well: If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city. And they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear. (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, "of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him; but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. (Deuteronomy 13:6-10) If you hear someone in one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you to dwell in, saying, 'Corrupt men have gone out from among you and enticed the inhabitants of their city, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods '; which you have not known; then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination was committed among you, you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword; utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword. (Deuteronomy 13:12-15) You shall not charge interest to your brother; interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest. (Deuteronomy 23:19) If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the widow of the dead man shall not be married to a stranger outside the family; her husband's brother shall go in to her, take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her. (Deuteronomy 25:5) If two men fight together, and the wife of one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of the one attacking him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not pity her. (Deuteronomy 25:11-12) Moreover you may buy the children of the strangers who dwell among you, and their families who are with you, which they beget in your land; and they shall become your property. (Leviticus 25:45) In Him, Doc |

4 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | swerv | 150519 | ||
Doc: Very good questions !! But God ruled as a theocracy. Israel was subject to the civil laws of God. They did not have the power of the Holy Spirit as we do now. Israel was under God's government since they were the only nation following God. Now all the nations can follow God but these nations have their own civil governments. The sacrificial laws were abolished at the cross. The 10 comm. have and will stand forever. Gen. 26:5 shows that God's law existed prior to Sinai. The Sabbath was created prior to sin. The 7th day was sanctified and made holy. Saying the Sabbath was only for the Jews goes directly against Isaiah 56:4. In love, Merv |

Dear Merv, So, it is not just the sacrificial law that you have set aside, you also set aside the civil law. One might argue very effectively that several of the ten commandments are of a civil nature. By what authority to do you choose some and reject others? In Him, Doc |

Hank: Please do not make this discussion into an authority issue. We both know God is the sole authority, but our discussion lies in the the truth of scripture. I believe my interpretation of how te "law" applies to te NT is correct and TRUTH. You disagree becuause you feel you ave understood the truth. So we are at a cross-roads. We both cannot have truth is one thinks there is not a 7th day Sabbath and no dietary laws - while the other (me) believes there is a 7th day Sabbath and there remains unclean animals which God instructs us not to eat. So our discussion revolves around search for the truth. Truth lies in proper understanding of scripture which will reveal te TRUTH. God is perfect and is TRUTH. The main question comes to this point: Wat laws apply to te NT Christian. It is undeniable that must must obey His commandments. But what are they ?? I believe that many people (Chritians) are not informed on how much truth has been changed by traditions. As I have stated many times - I grew up as a boy keeping Sunday and eating pork. My pareents never said there was never an issue and I heard no discussions from the pulpit on these issues. It was not until 2 years ago tat a fellow worker asked me questions that I could not answer. In my search to tell him the truth about why I worshiped on Sunday and ate pork, I discovered that the scripture did not support my positions. It is a pretty humbling experience to find out my beliefs had been based on misinterpreted scriptures. I am here to have share my experience. I respect the discussions and realize that I took many of the same positions prior to really examining if my positions were based on TRUTH. In love, Merv |

Dear Merv, Any discussion about the Scripture always includes authority. You have accused others of selecting/deselecting specific laws based on invalid authority. Yet, you yourself have done the same thing. We are interested in Bible study, not Ellen White study, Joseph Smith study, Papal study, etc. We are also less interested in experience than we are in study. You might want to study the term "Judaizer," Merv. In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc: I fully agree about authoruty !! But do not accuse me of representing authority - I do not think you would like the same accusation. We are discussing interpretation. Sole authority belong to God. The error comes from interpretation. I do not think anyone who claims to follow Christ should be accused of taking any authority away from God. Now there are many differences in doctrines within the Christian community. Where the challege is to all Christians is to seek the truth based on the authority of God and not on the tradition of man's interpretation of scripture. Doc, you use "we" as I guess you must felt led to speack for "all" on this forum. Everyone is free to discuss or not. I respect everyones opinion but take each "individually" into account. In love, Merv |
