Bible Question:
Rev 3:15-16 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm— neither hot nor cold— I am about to spit you out of my mouth. I just heard a 'new' interpretation on this verse. One I have never heard before. It implied that this is verse is dealing with mixing the Law and Grace and not our 'walk' with Christ. Interesting to me, I can see where it could make sense, but I also feel as though this verse may be being used to fit someones own teaching. |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Mike, I would challenge the speaker. - First, which is hot, the Law or grace? ... I don't think the Law could be, the law was our schoolmaster (Gal 3:24) ... and I don't think a schoolmaster is cold. Maybe a cold heart. - Second, what deeds of the Law are cold? What we do for the Law, as Paul did may be trash (Php 3:4-8). - Third ... how do the Law and grace relate? Let the speaker tell you ... then point out the truth. I doubt this one knows. Searcher |
