1 | How does mercy triumph over judgment? | James 2:13 | flinkywood | 133961 | ||
Rowdy, I'll correct my previous post by saying that God's justice is an aspect of His mercy, not vice-versa. It's very hard for me to understand, but somehow all of His eternal virtues, wrath included, are aspects of His love. Colin |

My main point was the antitype of Moses in "foreshadowing" the coming of Christ as the Perfect Advocate of the whole world for all time, past, future and present. Praise the Lord for both the OT and NT. They both do an excellent job of supporting each other for their respective purpose. Like I mentioned, I enjoyed reading your post. Good to see your posts once again on the Forum. God bless. Rowdy |

Rowdy: You write: "Praise the Lord for both the OT and NT." (10-04-04) You have written: "The Law of Moses and the OT has no authority to guide us in our spiritual relationship." (04-05-04) "What I am saying is that the OT has no place in our lives to speak with AUTHORITY about religious issues, especially with regard to the differences we see between the OT and the NT." (05/17/04) "...the Old Testament was obsolete..." (05/17/04) Grace to you, Kalos |

Dear friend Kalos, Here's what I wrote: "Praise the Lord for both the OT and NT. They both do an excellent job of supporting each other for their respective purpose." Hopefully, when my statements are quoted in context, they should be pretty easy to understand. Here it's pretty obvious I'm saying the OT served its purpose which was to teach mankind (mainly through the Jews) the law of God and how important it was to obey God in order to please Him. Also it served to teach us about His Absolute Love and His Perfect Sense of Justice. The purpose of the NT was to teach us about the Perfect Sacrifice in the Life, Death, Burial and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and to describe the installation of His beloved Bride, His Body, the church of our Lord. The NT also provided some practical demonstrations of how the Apostles handled crises and the basic guidance for all christians to follow in this dispensation. So you see, the OT served its purpose and its Authority was nailed to the cross with Jesus. Upon His death on that cross, our Lord's Last Will and Testament was executed by His designated officials, the Apostles and proclaimed His Terms and Conditions in Acts 2. I hope this clears up your questions. God bless. Rowdy |
