Bible Question:
by abolishing ...in His flesh ...___THE ENMITY___, .......which is the Law of commandments .........contained in ordinances, .....so that .............in Himself ...........He might make the two into one new man, ..............thus establishing peace, Is the enmity spoken of here our carnal enmity with God like in last verses of Romans 7 and the resulting solution of Romans 8:1 Or is the enmity spoken of here an enmity between Jew and Gentile that Christ solved by setting aside the Jewish ordinances as requirements for Gentiles of The Way like in Acts 15? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dan58. What causes enmity with God? Sin. The thrust of this passage refers to the reconciliation that Christ offers to sinful man. Upon our acceptance of HIS work, we are "reconciled" with God in and by Jesus, thus establishing peace with God! (which btw, should be reflected in our relationship with others!) Hope this helps, mommapbs |
