Bible Note: Dear charis, I agree. The OT is a tutor to lead sinners to Christ. But once it has done that, and Christ makes us saints, we are no longer under it. Sure our Bibles have the OT. But they also have the NT. Contemporary Christian says that, in order to have the full revelation of how we live as Christians, we must meld them together. I.e. take all the Law and mix it with all of grace and then you will have the truth. That is like trying to mix oil and water. They are two different things. That is precisely why there is an Old Covenant and a New Covenant. A new will does indeed supercede any old one, as you have stated. But many on this forum would say that both wills apply. They imply that Christ saves you so that you can then fulfill the Law. I don't find this ridiculous, charis, I find this insulting to Christ's work. He said that it is finished. And I respectfully submit to you, dear charis, that Paul's words still stand - once you have come to Christ by faith, you are no longer under that old tutor. Free at last, free at last, Bill Mc |
