Subject: Should this verse apply today? |
Bible Note: Micah Okay we both agree we are not under the law spiritually. But this commandment carried a societal punishment which was death. I understand Jesus paid for our spiritual punishment but are you also saying he paid for our societal punishment? By that I mean if we catch a murderer should we just allow them to go free once they accept Jesus? I don’t think your saying that. So what are you saying? If someone breaks the this commandment two things happen, first he is in rebellion against God (sins), which is the spiritual aspect of this commandment. However there is also the societal aspect. Which is the second and carried a condemnation of death, this nothing to do with his salvation, he can be very much saved, but commandment says he should not be allowed to live among people. Now I realize our society would never stand for that, and I think this is what makes this question so interesting. By ignoring God’s command do we find ourselves in opposition to God once again? |
