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: Sabbath keeping is one thing. Tything is a totally different matter. Radioman2, I have read many of your posts. I must have somehow gotten a wrong impression. In your profile, you make the statement, "I believe that the entire Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God; the only infallible rule of faith and practice." In the development of your belief, is it possiable that you have overlooked 2Ti 2:15. Was this the post I am responding to a "loaded question," or were those mere words without meaning? Bluntly, I ask this question without malice, because I am as I am, and at the moment, I am a more than a little confused. George |
