Bible Note: What would we do without John 3? What did nicodemas do without Romans 10::9-10? He didn't get born again that's what. Do you realize the sermon on the mount expounds the 10 commandments which is impossible to keep without being born again? Jesus was teaching Jews under the OT. Sure there are principles there for us. I don't argue that at all. But the living of those principles are found in Rom-Jude. I'll never break one commandment if I follow the Holy Spirit. Many Christians who disagree on this are reading Matt-joh with hindsight. They already know the New Covenant and find it (sporatically) thorought the gospels. They think the Gospels are enough. However, Without knowing rom-jud they would be just like the disciples with Jesus, clueless. How many Christians study the OT and Matt-Acts without filtering it through Church doctrine. They are just like people going to Job and basing their life experiences on him. You know, we affirm that God is NO respector of persons right. How about a respector of Covenants? God is just in treating us diff based upon our covenants. See Matt 20:1-16. When I read Job, I read it from the standpoint of being More than a conquerer, Always triumphant, and seated FAR ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITIES POWERS DOMINIONS ETC. WITH CHRIST IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES. Not as some weak defeated christian who knows nothing of the New Covenant, thereby associating myself with Job. I'm not like Job. Job was not born again. (Watch me open this can of worms) Listen, If God opened the door on Job for Satan to attack him, maybe that was Jobs covenant. It's not found in mine. I'm redeemed. As long as I'm sober and watchful, Satan cannot devour me. 1 Pet 5. Let's see where this discussion goes now. I'm so glad I found this place. It's totally cool. Andes |
