Bible Note: Picking up from the previous post….. Speaking again in a civil vein……picture this (I admit this is wild)……but say I decided to bring a civil suit against my old pastor…….I gave his organization thousands of dollars and I want it back….Why? Because in his mission statement he said he was committed to teaching the truth of the Bible. He teaches that the Sabbath commandment has been made null and void because of the resurrection of Y’shua. I charge that he has not told me the truth, the Bible does not teach that the Sabbath has been abrogated or changed to another day, and I want my attorney (an atheist, let’s say) to prove that the pastor lied to me and I gave him money under false pretenses and I want it back. With my unbiased atheist attorney using only the Bible (sola scriptura) as evidence to make my case, would I win? If you were the attorney for the defense, how would you plead the pastor’s case? If the judge was an atheist and therefore having no doctrinal biases……how would he rule on the evidence and how would he have come to his decision? In conclusion, I seek righteousness in the Torah, for it defines righteousness, that which I choose…I seek sin in the Torah for it defines sin, that which I choose to avoid …Torah is the light to my path…..does Torah make me righteous?……No….can I claim any righteousness for myself without the Spirit of grace and the blood of Y’shua?….no way……since Y’shua nailed my rap sheet to the cross and the Holy Spirit is causing me to walk in the LORD’s decrees and laws (Eze 36:26-27)…I can take no personal credit….I can do nothing but praise the LORD for what He’s shown me and for what He’s done in me and for me.
