Bible Note: Sam, Thanks for your reply. Keeping the "law" has everuthing to do with what you call the law. Ten Commandments (which is what the 'law' is based on) no problem. Deuternomy, Leviticus, etc. were given to show mankind right from wrong and to lead them to Christ, who is the final authority........ There is no contadiction between what Jesus taught and modeled and what God wanted for his people. Grace supplanted work as the answer to finding favor with God.... |
