Not Subject to the Law of God? You write: 'We "belierers" (sic) are not under the law." My reply: Are We Not Subject To The Law of God? Romans 3:31 (ESV) Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law. (Amplified) Do we then by [this] faith make the Law of no effect, overthrow it or make it a dead letter? Certainly not! On the contrary, we confirm and establish and uphold the Law. (GOD'S WORD version) Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are supporting Moses' Teachings. (From "Not Subject To The Law of God?" Part 8. www.yashanet.com/library/under8.htm All following Scripture quotes are from the GOD'S WORD version of the Bible, unless otherwise noted.) "The teaching that 'we are free from the Torah,' is a product of hundreds of years of anti-Semitic theology and is in opposition to Scripture. The 'New Testament,' when put back into its Hebrew context, says this about the Torah and believers in Yeshua:" Matthew 5:17 "Don't ever think that I came to set aside Moses' Teachings or the Prophets. I didn't come to set them aside but to make them come true. James 2:10 If someone obeys all of God's laws except one, that person is guilty of breaking all of them. Matt 19:17 Jesus said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter into life, obey the commandments." Revelation 12:17 The serpent became angry with the woman. So it went away to fight with her other children, the ones who keep God's commands and hold on to the testimony of Jesus. John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. John 15:10 If you obey my commandments, you will live in my love. I have obeyed my Father's commandments, and in that way I live in his love. Romans 3:31 Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are supporting Moses' Teachings. 1 John 2:3 We are sure that we know Christ if we obey his commandments. 2:4 The person who says, "I know him," but doesn't obey his commandments is a liar. The truth isn't in that person. 2:5 But whoever obeys what Christ says is the kind of person in whom God's love is perfected. That's how we know we are in Christ. 1 John 5:3 (Revised Standard Version) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments (Greek: entole [Strong's #1785]: ethically used of the commandments in the Mosaic law). And his commandments (entole) are not burdensome. --Radioman2 |

Tell me where Christ, Paul or anyone else in Scripture states that a woman (is not) to speak in the church. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. I cannot say that I personally feel comfortable with a woman as the leader of the church, but I wonder if the Jews didn't feel uncomfortable when they were lead into battle by Deborah. The Law stated in Deu 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Jesus stated in Mat 5:38 You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Mat 5:39 But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If you choose to be under the law, so be it. You would be wise to consider though, that you should observe the whole law. And that by the law which you so adamantly cling to, you will be condemned, for the law or the observance thereof has yet to cleanse any of their sins. Personally, I and all (true) believers, (those who have heard and accepted His “WHOLE” Word,) have accepted the fact that the law was imperfect. We have chosen "Grace." Being so adamant concerning the law, perhaps you should consider granting Paul’s wish in Gal 5:17. I like the NIV version in particular where that verse is concerned. “ As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. George |

Jesus said, "Go . . . and make disciples . . ." (Matthew 28:19), not, "Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions." ____________________ "It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong." ____________________ "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free . . ." (Galatians 5:1). "A spiritually-minded person will never come to you with the demand-"Believe this and that"; a spiritually-minded person will demand that you align your life with the standards of Jesus. We are [asked]...to believe the One whom the Bible reveals (see John 5:39-40). We are called to present liberty for the conscience of others, not to bring them liberty for their thoughts and opinions. And if we ourselves are free with the liberty of Christ, others will be brought into that same liberty -- the liberty that comes from realizing the absolute control and authority of Jesus Christ. "Always measure your life solely by the standards of Jesus. Submit yourself to His yoke, and His alone; and always be careful never to place a yoke on others that is not of Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong. That is never God's view. There is only one true liberty -- the liberty of Jesus at work in our conscience enabling us to do what is right. "Don't get impatient with others. Remember how God dealt with you -- with patience and with gentleness. But never water down the truth of God. Let it have its way and never apologize for it. Jesus said, "Go . . . and make disciples . . ." (Matthew 28:19), not, "Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions." (http://www1.gospelcom.net/rbc/utmost/devo/05-06.shtml) --Radioman2 |

Radioman2, did you respond to the wrong note? For this has nothing to do with the subject matter of the note it is attached to. George |
