Bible Note: Ah, but by placing it as 'moral issue' and in the writing of an Hebrew who then became one inwardly (Paul), did you not mean the context of the Mosaic law, with consideration of the culture of the surrounding population? The moral guidelines of Paul would be the law (Mosaic), and now that he has become a new man in Christ, the moral guidelines would be of the Holy Spirit's leading. The principal of circumcision was symbolic, yet an absolute practical moral and legal requirement. Arguably an higher moral issue than head coverings, but of the same class. I don't think it's a trivial issue, because it requires, in my belief, the guidance of the Spirit to experientially realize. Christ as fulfillment of the law (moral, religious, and practical requirements), yet awareness of ones impact upon those around you. Great question, there are many today who live by legalism, yet are believers. And many who offend unknowingly, by not knowing or not following the anointing. Amazing Grace indeed! As one already replied, our freedom is absolute in Christ, we can not transgress beyond His sacrifice. Yet, it is the source of life within that guides us actively in the here and now. The living God is the living word, which is the more perfect law. How we should fear God in this! Fervently seek His voice with trembling! Yet praise Him for such grace... Forgive my obtuse communications, far to much education, and not enough humility. May the living word resound in you. |
