Inmyheart What your saying is absolutely true! However God's grace does nto give us license to go break God's commandments, just the grace to forgive us when we do. Romans 6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! EdB |

inmyheart Thread are restricted because Lockman will not allow someone to violate Biblical truths. Since the Old Testament is still part of the Bible and you have basically advocated ignoring it, I suspect you’re the cause not I. :-) I have read and reread Romans 7 this morning, frankly it does not begin to support what you are saying. I have tried and tried to explain the error of what your saying and I can't seem to get through to you. Perhaps these snippets from MacArthur's Study Bible will help. Please read them as I honored your request to read what you suggestted. In a detailed explanation of what it means not to be under law, but under grace (6:14, 15), Paul teaches that: 1) the law can no longer condemn a believer (7:1–6); 2) it convicts unbelievers (and believers) of sin (7:7–13); 3) it cannot deliver a believer from sin (7:14–25); and 4) believers who walk in the power of the Spirit can fulfill the law (8:1–4). MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Ro 7:1). Nashville: Word Pub. 7:6 delivered from the law. Not freedom to do what God’s law forbids (6:1, 15; 8:4; cf. 3:31), but freedom from the spiritual liabilities and penalties of God’s law (see note on v. 4; cf. Gal. 3:13). MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Ro 7:6). Nashville: Word Pub. Because we died in Christ when He died (see note on 6:2), the law with its condemnation and penalties no longer has jurisdiction over us (vv. 1–3). serve. This is the verb form of the word for “bondservant” (see note on 1:1), but here it is parallel to being slaves of righteousness (cf. 6:22), emphasizing that this service is not voluntary. Not only is the believer able to do what is right, he will do what is right. the newness of the Spirit. A new state of mind which the Spirit produces, characterized by a new desire and ability to keep the law of God (see note on 8:4). oldness of the letter. The external, written law code that produced only hostility and condemnation. 8:4 righteous requirement of the law. The thoughts, words, and deeds which the moral law of God demands. The ceremonial aspect of the Mosaic law has been set aside (Col. 2:14–17), and the basic responsibility for the civil aspect, which shows the application of the moral law in a community, has been transferred to human government (13:1–7). The moral law finds its basis in the character of God and is presented in outline form in the Ten Commandments; its most condensed form is in Jesus’ commands to love God and to love one’s neighbor as one’s self. It has never been abrogated, but finds its authority in the New Covenant. Every unbeliever is still under its requirement of perfection and its condemnation, until he comes to Christ (Gal. 3:23–25) and every believer still finds in it the standard for behavior. fulfilled. Although the believer is no longer in bondage to the moral law’s condemnation and penalty (7:6), the law still reflects the moral character of God and His will for His creatures. But what the external, written code was unable to accomplish, the Spirit is able to do by writing the law on our hearts (Jer. 31:33, 34) and giving us the power to obey it. not walk according to the flesh but … the Spirit. Not an admonition, but a statement of fact that applies to all believers. “Walk” refers to a lifestyle, the habits of living and thinking that characterize a person’s life (cf. Luke 1:6; Eph. 4:17; 1 John 1:7). Since every true Christian is indwelt by the Spirit (v. 9), every Christian will manifest the fruit He produces in their life (Gal. 5:22, 23). MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Ro 8:1-4). Nashville: Word Pub. Inmyheart what your have been saying in this thread really worries me. I have no idea where you have received that teaching, but I can not stress enough, it contains error. The Law is the law, we are no longer under it’s penalty, as it has been paid for us by the Blood of Christ, however we have not been given license to violate the law. I pray this will bless you.
