1 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | DocTrinsograce | 150556 | ||
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 |
