Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Greetings Merv! Where do you find in Scripture that 'under the Law' means 'not guilty of it'? I looked up the phrase 'under the Law', which is the Greek 'hupo nomon'. It is used 11 times in 8 verses. The meaning 'not guilty of it' does not fit. Gal. 4:4 says that Christ was 'born under Law'. Does that mean that He was guilty of violating the Law? Gal. 4 also speaks of Christians who wanted to go back and be enslaved again to the observance of special days and circumcision. Paul describes them as people who 'want to be under the Law'. Gal. 3:23-25 gives a detailed explanation of what being 'under the Law' means. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
