Subject: Why keep the Moral Law? |
Bible Note: We agree on much. Maybe the difference I see can be stated like this. I infer from your postings that you see the "moral law" something to be followed in daily life. Correct me if I'm wrong. On the other hand, I see what you and many other believers are calling "moral law" as God's minimum requirement for holiness and righteousness. This has been left behind because it can only go so far. I would say the same for the rest of the Law as well. Christ calls us to do better through His enabling. Perhaps you have read Lewis Sperry Chafer's take on this where he compare the Law (love your neighbor as yourself) with the Lord's command (love one another as I have loved you). The difference is enormous. Steve |
