Bible Question:
The way I understand these verses is a little differently. The verse in Romans that is often translated as "Messiah is the end of the law", often appears in the interlinears to mean, "Messiah is the end goal of the Law". This not saying that he is bringing it to an end, becuase, otherwise, how could that be possible if He were writing it upon our hearts (see, Jeremiah 31:33)? If he writes it upon our hearts, then it should be our new nature to walk in righteousness, just as he did (I John 2:6). We received the righteousness of the Messiah when he died for us. What that means is, the righteous nature of Torah observance of this devout Torah observant Rebbe was transfered to us to replace our carnal nature, so that we would be changed from within, instead of trying to depend on our own works for our salvation. He was the only one who was righteous on this earth and he was sinless, meaning he never did anything to transgress the Torah (I John 3:4), and so when he died, and lives in us, it is his righteousness that is transfered to us. I John 3:8-10 makes it clear. So what is missing in the church today? Why aren't they walking in the righteousness of our promised King of Yisrael? Rather, it seems that they rebel against it. What's your opinion on this? Peace be upon you. |
Bible Answer: Thank you Eliyahu for your post, and for your invitation to give my opinion. Without question the biggest single problem that the Church has is an abysmal lack of good quality in depth Bible teaching, the second problem is, if anything even worse, as the majority of Christians are not even aware of this. Fortunatly thank God, there is as allways that small number, that little remnant who do hunger, and thirst after right teaching. I only have the use of one hand, and am a rather slow single finger typist, if you would be kind enough to let me have your e-mail address, then I will be only to happy to forward to you material in connection with your request. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. Edwin Brain. pabrain@indent.co.uk |
