Bible Question:
What of the Mosaic Law applies to me a Gentile Christian? I have been seeking an answer to this question for the last six years and have often been frustrated at the slow pace in finding good answers from people who have different views. I could use some help. While I have come a long way in my search and have ended up where I never expected when I started, I felt that it would have been more effective for me to have had quality articles written in support of each view. I have been surprised by the fact that it is very difficult to find any article written to answer this specific question. The best I could do was find mentions of it in passing, or in bullet point form. Maybe even a short 1-2 page paper giving the overall points of a theological viewpoint, but as of yet, I have not found one excellently written article which covers the topic thoroughly, and uses primary sources when applicable. In fact, most positions are so poorly written, that when confronted, the author is at a loss. Therefore, I am collecting the best of the best theological scholarly papers on this question from every main view point that has substance. If anyone here knows of good articles supporting any view well, I’d love to know of them. I have found none so far…only mediocre articles. MJH |
Bible Answer: Hi MJH- Forgive me for not understanding your dilemma. It really seems quite simply answered from Scripture. Instead of articles and such, perhaps your search might finally take you back to them. What of the Mosaic Law "applies" to you. It all does insofar as it contributes to your discerning God. None of it does in relation to your position of righteousness before God. Instead of articles, I would point you to the book of Romans. That single letter will answer this question for you completely. Rom 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. (NASB) Hope this helps, Jeff |
