Subject: Joe, who is ya, man? |
Bible Note: Bill: I see no reference to Law here at all. The thrust here is against the licentiousness of the Gentiles who do not know Christ. Where do you conclude that legalism is in view here? Secondly, if this "truth" you put forward is so central and essential to a correct understanding of the gospel of Christ, how in the world could these regenerate individuals NOT know that they had a new self? Even if they could not detect it themselves, I doubt an apostle of God would only at this point mention this "essential point." --Joe! |
