Bible Note: Anyway....I think I'll end this discussion with the agreement that "Law and gospel are interwoven throughout both Testaments, and the proper understanding of both and the uses of both is key to understanding Scripture." You will always be able to find scriptures to support your understanding and I will always be able to find scriptures to support my understanding. One thing though - I say again - "no one pours new wine into old wineskins." Jesus was saying this for the benefit of the Pharisees to hear - I understand it to be the old covenant and the new covenant. Jesus, btw, NEVER mentioned anything about old wine in new wineskins (a question in your previous post)....so I'm sorry but won't waste energy trying to make understanding of that. Finally, I just want to say whether we agree with each other's views or not - we will BOTH go to heaven. It's okay if you want to "work out your righteousness" and it's okay if I chose to believe that I AM already righteous (and just need to behave so by learning from the Spirit) - both of us are already SAINTS and no longer sinners because of receipt of the salvation gift. You can go ahead and be Martha....I'll chose to be Mary (and both are believers of Christ, btw): Luke 10:38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" 41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." I'll hold on to the word of God (which is Jesus) and I'll let God work in me completely. Bless you! |
