Bible Note: Dear Bill Mc, Greetings in the name of Jesus! With all due respect, my friend, Paul does not disagree with me, but YOU do! :-) (Paul has not been around to personally disagree with anyone for a LONG time) I don't really want to get involved in a 'tit for tat' type of argument. I think that if you were to look at the sum of the 'Law versus Grace' discussion raging on the forum these days, you would see that it has become kind of an 'Old Testament versus New Testament' battle. This is ridiculous! We have a Bible that includes the Old Testament for a purpose. If indeed the 'tutor' is truly 'abolished,' then we would be studying little pocket New Testaments with huge marginal notes. Bill, I am fully aware that my relationship with Jesus is entirely based on the New Covenant that God has graced us with. But we cannot 'do away with' the Old Testament, that is STILL a tutor to lead us to Christ. My note was in answer to a question asking the New Testament purpose of the Law. My contention (opinion) is that the common sense and wisdom of the Old Testament is still very much worthy of consideration, even though it has legally been superceded. Jesus fulfilled the Law, yes! But never did He say to 'chuck it.' Thank you for the many references, though! :-) In Christ Jesus, charis |
