1 | What is the law? | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 232831 | ||
The law is the blessings and curses that are included in and a normal part of all Blood Covenants. The timing of their giving was what was unique. The Law was given to Children of Israel that had been in slavery for 400 years. As slaves the Children of Israel was forced to live in a dog eat dog world and they eventually became a mirror of that world. Now upon their freedom they were without clue how to conduct themselves morally, socially, religiously or ethically, in fact they had to relearn and in some cases reinvent the Hebrew language. So God gave the Children of Israel social, moral, ethical guidelines and a religious system by which to live, to benefit them, to bring them into covenant relationship with God and to keep them there. However like everything man touches, man began to seek ways where he could keep these guidelines but accomplish his own desires. First man instead of seeking God’s explanation of the Law began to explain the Law himself. Then man eventually added to the Law often rendering the original intent of the law meaningless. Once again man’s rebellion to God could easily be seen in the burdensome legalistic approach man took to the Law. Instead of seeing how it benefitted them and the society they lived in they began to distort its intention and used it as their legal limits. |

EDB, Once again that you for being thourogh. Their are some many people say that upon the death of Christ his blood did away with the law (which is true) Mat 5:17 Christ did come to fulfill the Law and his death abolished those things (laws) that was against us as well. So that always me to ask my next question which law(s), staute(s), judgement(s), covenant etc. And as you stated the Torah (1st five books) is known as the "book of the Law" God covered every-life- situtation that can comes up. That being said, the part of the torah the Christ fulfilled I would like to explore and the ones that Christ's blood nailed to the tree. I'm not trying to start a debate (the word of God was not for that intednt) I would like to have a stimulating conversation with the forum |

I would make the following adjustments to what you are saying: Redemption did away with the PENALTY of the Law. It is about justification; i.e., our guilt is imputed to Christ -- just as though He were responsible for each aspect -- and His righteousness is imputed to the believer -- just as though the believer were responsible for that righteousness. The Law ceases to have the power of condemnation. When we are justified, the Law becomes a kindly tutor -- helping us understand the righteousness of God and our own continuous need for sanctification. Justification is a forensic concept. | ||||||
