Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Greetings Merv! You lost me my friend! You said in your previous post, "Being "under the law" does not mean - we are obliged to keep it. No no !!! It means to be guilty of it !! Being no longer under the law (Rom. 3:19) means we are no longer guilty before God because we have accepted the perfect sacrifice for our "past" sins. Now that we are free from being guilty before God or "under the law" we can now go forth with the power of the Holy Spirit to live in love and obedience to God." So, you claimed that to be 'under the Law' means to be guilty of it. Yet, I showed you in Scripture that Jesus was born 'under the Law', and He was not 'guilty of it'. Therefore, your definition of 'under the Law' as 'guilty of it', and 'no longer under the Law' as 'not guilty of it' do not work Scripturally. So, these two phrase must mean something else other than what you have been saying. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
