Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Mark: Moral law is 10 comm. - could also be argued that any other law specific to our health and keeping us holy is apart of God's law. But he did only write 10 on stone. Marriage, diet, cleanliness I think are all relevant now as they were in OT. Absolutley, the 10 Comm. are the laws on the heart. Many have argued there is only 2 comm. now - love God and love neighbor. But Rom.13 clears this up in clearly saying love thy neighbor is a clear summary of the final 6 of the 10. So to follow the logic the first 4 are summarized by love God with all your heart. To argue any different is blatent disobedience. Sorry to use strong words but I have been doing a study of the Sabbath and diet and scriptural justification for the changes is totally wrong. I grew up a Methodist. But I have found the doctrine in many areas is abosolutely incorrect. 2 Chor. 35:12 - Book of Moses contained all sacrificial laws - moral law (Royal Law - James 2:8) is the 10 Comm. Do we need to keep the law -- YES James 2:10-12 , Rom. 3:31, Math. 19:17 Scriptural evidence is overwhelming. The new coventant said God would write laws on the heart. Does it make sense for God to write them there and we not obey them. The Holy Spirit will give us the power and wisdom to NOT sin (transgress the law). We are to live a Christ -- He did not sin although tempted. ABSOLUTELY CLEAR !!!! Hell - eternal - unquenchable (great study) But look at Math 25:41 , Jude 9, 2 Peter 2:6, Malachi 4:1 Math. 10:28 - "destroy" body and soul. Punishment for sin is death - the second death after judgement by God. Not eternal suffering. Where is that ever evident in God's prior judgement. Rev. 20:5, 9 - fire from heaven will "devour" them. Second death - Rev. 20:14 ----- death is not eternal but the result of death is eternal and everlasting -- do you see the difference. Never will the body/soul ever live again - this is the punishment for sin --- reward for salvation is eternal life -- will never die. Math 13:41, 42 - cast into furnace of fire. God dis say that the world would not ever be destroyed by water but will be destroyed by fire. So to will sin be destroyed by fire. This whole plan of letting sin takes it course was to prove to all God's created being (man - angels and whatever else) that sin cannot win and this result will forever end the debate if the choice of Satan to rebel was better than the love of God. To keep a place called HELL somewhere in existance goes against the purpose of God to rid the existence of sin forever. This was a great eye opener to me after reading these verses. Eze. 18:4 --- the soul will die. !!!! Sodom and Gommooah were destroyed by eternal fire BUT is it still burning now !!! Jersalem was said to be destoyed with unquenchable fire BUT is not buring now !! Logic and proper interpretations are the keys. In love Merv |
