The law says, "Do this and you will be blessed" Deuteronomy 27:1, 28:1-13. We are not saved by keeping the law - that is legalism. Unless our righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees we will in no way enter heaven..Matthew 5:20. The Pharisees are well known for keeping the "letter" of the law, but not the "spirit" of the law. The letter killeth, but the spirit maketh alive..2 Corinthians 3:6. | ||||||

IBLONG2GOD ... Are you trying to criticize the quote I just quoted? This thread was not about keeping the letter of the law, but an expansion upon keeping the spirit of it. Please read the whole thread beginning with the post by docTrinesograce. The quote I quoted happens to be very good. This discussion was more or less started because kalos was making sure I knew what I was talking about and not just spouting drivel that I don't understand. Do you know what you're saying and why? Do you know what it means to keep the spirit of the law versus keeping the letter of it? Or are you just repeating what you've read without thoroughly comprehending it? (no criticism intended. It's a genuine and sincere question). Theo-Minor |

Theo-Minor, It was not my intention to be critical in the negative sense of the word. I apologize if I offended you. I'm truly sorry. I'm new to this forum and don't know the ins and outs, yet. If I had read the entire thread, I'm sure I would have gathered what this post was about. Please understand that it was done out of ignorance and I will try to be more thorough in reading the entire thread before I respond. My only intention was to correct what I believed to be wrong. I hope you understand. I do have some insight to the spirit of the law, but I'm open and humble enough to know that I don't have absolute knowledge of it. I'm willing to hear what you have to say about it, if you desire to explain your understanding of it. |

IBLONG2GOD ... I wasn't the least bit offended brother/sister. I think I did the same thing days ago (I've only been on here a few days myself). You just have to be careful to read the full train of thought so you know what's been said, and why it has reached its current point. It's not impossible or uncommon for your (or my) point to have already been made and reasonably disputed by someone else in a sound and competent manner. Correcting what you believe to be wrong is absolutely a good thing. Iron sharpens iron. If we don't correct each other, using the tid-bits of knowledge and understanding God has given each of us in turn, we would never grow. There are things people show me all the time that I either didn't see, or didn't think about. To: do you know what it means to walk by the spirit of the law versus the letter ... I'm asking a sincere question. Do you know the difference? You say, "I do have some insight," but also say, "I don't have absolute knowledge of it." Thus the question reiterated. At the bottom of the screen where you answer to a post, you'll see a highlighted line in a tree of posts. The highlighted post is the one you're looking at/answering to. Follow the line up to the post in this line of posts beginning with DocTrinsograce. Follow them systematically and you'll see the whole discussion. I did three full-page posts on the subject of the spirit of the law, and what it means to say that we are not under the law. Keep sharpening! Theo-Minor |
