Bible Question:
Why are there so many extremists when it comes to the question of the Mosaic Law? At one extreme there are those who would have us bound to the Law regarding sabbath keeping and tithing. At the opposite extreme are those who say that we are free from the Law. What does that mean? Does it mean that now we are free to steal, murder, commit adultery, bear false witness? --Radioman2 |
Bible Answer: (Rom 6:14-16 NASB) For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? |
