Bible Note: Good morning Tim, Nicely put together post. You said, "The problem so many today seem to have is understanding that Paul makes a clean break with the covenant of Law" So, I must ask you the same thing I asked John about the vows Paul took part in. (He hasn't answered yet. It's still below.) I know your parents probably told you the same thing I was told coming up - actions speak louder than words (and words can very easily be misinterpreted, when it suits one's purpose). We have statements about Paul's actions that refute the statement that he made a clean break from the Law. :o) |
