Good response, however, Paul tell us in Galatians 5 that if we try to be righteous by the law, then Christ has no effect on us an we have fallen from grace. Please study Galatians 5 starting at the 1st verse. It should clearly show us that we cannot not mix law and grace. Your comments are welcome. | ||||||

Yes, Too Too Smart, Your point is well taken and the bk. of Gal. is backs you up. see Gal.3:10.(AMP) "And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them." The scripture that Paul refers to here is: (Deut. 27:26 AMP),"Cursed is he who does not support and give assent to the words of this law to do them [as the rule of his life]. All the people shall say, Amen." Now, we must look at the context of Paul's letter. After Paul ministered to the infant Church in Galatia, false teachers came around telling new converts that they were not true Christians unless they lived under the Law of Moses. They claimed obedience to the law was as important as God's grace and a necessary condition of salvation. Paul saw the error in their teaching and wrote the epistle that warns them of the danger of trying to mix law and grace. |
