1 | Raven, do you want ALL the Law? | Bible general Archive 1 | ChristLifer2001 | 45604 | ||
Raven, Yes, this subject is about marriage and divorce. And you are going to the Law alone as your standard for discussing this subject. Have you even read the verses in 1 Corinthians 7 concerning this subject? What did you think of this passage? The bottom line is the Law is the Law, whether for salvation, redemption, sanctification, justification, daily living, etc. If you are going to be under the Law for ANY purposes, then you must be under ALL of it. You are either under ALL the Law (including it's sacrificial system with animal sacrifice) or you are under grace with NONE of the Law. The just (who are now are in Christ - justified) shall live by FAITH, not Law. The Law is not of faith, it is of performance, and the believer is no longer bound by it. That is what I am talking about. And it is VERY relevant to marriage and divorce. The Law says that adulterers must be stoned (both parties). This doesn't meet that they need to get high first :), it means they must both die. Do you suggest we follow the Law? So if you wish to teach believers to be under the Law, then you yourself need to be under ALL of it. ChristLifer2001 |

2 | What is the new self? | Rom 4:6 | ChristLifer2001 | 52910 | ||
Joe, !Hm...seems that righteousness is in view here. He is talking about attaining physical resurrection - the entire being being righteous - spirit, soul, and body. !It is quite clear that the pressing on in this life is to become more perfect (as we see the goal is throughout the Scriptures for this life). Then you are striving to become more perfect than Heb 10:14 says you are. More power to ya, bro. You are going to need it. According to 1 Thess 5:23, God sanctifies us 1) in spirit 2) in soul and 3) in body. Our spirit is ALREADY sanctified. Our soul is being sanctified and our body will one day be (not this one but) a sanctified one. When Paul talks about the "new self" that is created (not an act of process, bro, an act of God) in God's likeness - in righteousness and holiness - in Eph 4:24, what part of you is that? Can you answer this question? Will you? Paul says to put on (the greek stipulates a one-time act) the new self. What part of you is this, Joe? Paul says that 1) it is created 2) it is created in God's likeness (so it looks like Him but it is NOT Him) 3) it is righteous 4) it is holy and 5) this is truth. Can you define what this "new self", this "new man" is? I would like to hear your explanation. Your bro in Christ, ChristLifer2001 |

3 | What is the new self? | Rom 4:6 | ChristLifer2001 | 52912 | ||
Joe, The only thing that you said about Eph 4:24 is this: 2. The new self is to be put on, which assumes that it hasn't been already. I am left to conclude then that you think that the new self gets put on when we die. The greek supports that this is a one-time act, not a process of sanctification. Seems funny that Paul would tell us to do this one time act but we have no choice over when we do it. Why would Paul tell us to do something that we cannot do? If it is a one-time act that we put on the new self sometime during our physical life, when do we do this? When we become righteous and holy enough? You still have not addressed my questions concerning this verse. Do you agree that the new self is created (not being created) in God's likeness and that it is righteous and holy? Your bro, ChristLifer2001 |
