Subject: Mark, am I missing something |
Bible Note: What is grace? Grace is when I’ve been speeding in excess and the cop that pulls me over lets me go without a ticket. Do I deserve a ticket? Yes. Do the laws that pertain to giving me a ticket for speeding still exist? Yes. So after he lets me go, do a peel out and spray gravel on his car? Now I realize that that’s not a perfect analogy of God’s grace. But here’s my point. Does God’s grace blot out His Law? No. The Law is eternal. God's grace removes the PUNISHMENT of His law. Did Isaiah live under grace? Yes. All of his righteousness were as filthy rags. It was still Christ’s grace and sacrifice that saved him. And he looked forward with faith to that sacrifice. The Ten Commandments were not “just for the Jews”. Most Christian pastors would preach the Ten Commandments any day. The only time they claim not to be living under them is when it pertains to the Sabbath. So were nine of the ten for everyone and only one of them just for the Jews? Read Isaiah 56:6. Also, read my post 164905. Just some thoughts. Ocelot P.S. Sorry, I realize that your post was addressed to kalos. |
