Bible Note: Hi Nic, Thanks for the initial support:-) By the way, welcome to the Forum. If I might offer a couple quick comments to see if I'm understanding you. I would see our "sacrifice as the "obedience of faith" (Rom.1:5). 1. Romans 10:4 says,"...Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone whos belives". So, our only "righteous" standing before Him is to be in Christ, The "law" could not do this as "it was weak through the flesh" (Rom. 8:3) I think Paul sums it up in Gal. 5:14 saying, "For ALL the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself'". 2. I see Deut. 28 as specifically addressed to Israel, not the Body of Christ. The context clearly bears this out. These cautions were to bring Israel to repentence (30:2-3). If we are to take the blessings and curses given to Israel, then what of Eph.1:3? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
