Subject: Where do we stand with God? |
Bible Note: Hello M. Royal, First of all, I make a distinction between Israel and the Church. My specific concern would be if you take literally what Christ taught in Matt 10: 1. He said, "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles" Are you and I not "gentiles"?; 2. Do you, "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons"?; 3. Do you "...acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts"? My point is this: A literal reading of the commands given in Matt. 10 would preclude most- if not all- of us from living the lifestyle(s) we do. I think we need to understand that all these "commands" were given prior to the cross. Before we embrace the "doctrine of Christ", must we not reconcile it with what was revealed to and taught by the apostle Paul?(Rom. 11:3) Romans contains the theology of the NT. If we neglect or misunderstand this doctrinal book, then I believe we miss the message of the NT! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
