Bible Note: Hello giboone, your suggestion that we should all get back under the law along with faith in Yeshua, and consequently it’s curse, causes one to fall from his position of grace; because my doing something isn’t grace it’s works. Am I wrong in assuming if I transgress any of the law, namely codex number one or the Ten Commandments, that I am a sinner and guilty of all? The answer is rather obvious, yes I am a sinner, that being the case, which of these sins, of not keeping the law didn’t, Yeshua HaMashiach not die for? When Yeshua spoke of sending the Comforter are you surprised he forgot to mention that the Comforter would confront us with keeping the law along with believing in Jesus. I would assume that you would like it to be joined to verse 9? I hope you realize that I am being factious for a reason? John 16:7-11 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. [8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: [9] Of sin, because they believe not on me; [10] Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; [11] Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I think I can fully understand you desire to eliminate the clear and obvious face value understanding of Scripture in the book of Galatians; and I can truthfully say that I don’t blame you because of what it teaches and what you are trying to teach! Galatians 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. I am a little more apt to believe Paul’s clear concise rendition of grace and the Law then yours. From what God is telling us, through Paul in the previous verse, it would appear that you are walking on very thin ice friend. I call you friend and not brother because I am not exactly sure where you stand. You could do us all a favor if you would expatiate on your faith in Christ apart from your works at keeping the Law unless you think it is all-inclusive? In Love, CDBJ |
