Bible Note: Hi MJH, I do appreciate the time you spent in your response, and always appreciate the fact you're gracious and polite in your responses to everyone. I thought it was understood that those from our camp are never ever saying that God's law concerning the moral law(s) is/are absolutely still in effect and always will be. That was never nailed to the Cross. We are not forcing the moral law into the text at all. you are reading that into what we are saying. We are always speaking of the ceremonial law when discussing this subject. Never do we say that we should live like heathens, living in lawlessness, or that Paul taught that, as I believe your explanation implies we are saying. I hope that clarifies my/our position a bit. John |
