Subject: Are we free from KEEPING the Law? |
Bible Note: So let me see if I understand you. Heb 9-10 has done away with the practice of blood sacrifices but you reject what the rest of Hebrews says about the superiority of the NT over the OT. Also how do you deal with Paul's admonition to the Galatians Gal 5:16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. Why would you treat these two groups of instructions so differently especially since they were almost certainly written by the same human author and inspired by God? Please explain. In my professional world, I deal with contracts and contract law. When we issue a contract with an ambiguous set of clauses, the contractor can take advantage of the buyer by focusing on that ambiguity and interpret whichever way he can get away with and guess what. The courts will support that position. Why? Because the issuer of the contract was obligated to make certain the clauses are NOT ambiguous but when they conflict with one another, the issuer takes it on the chin. Surely, you don't think our God would author such an ambiguous position as the one I've described on previous posts with reference to marriage and divorce, forgiveness for enemies and lust for a woman out of marriage, our primary day of worship. To me these differences must be reconciled; one set of laws must submit to the other. Please respond with your position on these points. I really appreciate your perseverance and God bless. --Rowdy |
