Bible Note: (I've written this message 3 times, only to have an error, when I go back it's GONE!) Christians are not under the Law (in Scripture) as a means to righteousness or salvation. They are not condemned by the law unto hell. However, this does not mean that Christians needn't obey God or civil laws. Civil law was established by the government, and it was established by God to provide justice. Civil law applies to Christians and therefore any penalty for crimes committed against it must be carried out. Micah |
