Subject: OT laws repeated in NT |
Bible Note: No, it is not antinomianism. I AM responsible for my behavior. I do not want to do things that are sinful because I am God's child and I am led by His Spirit who will not lead me to sin. If I sin, it is because of my stupid flesh. Please don't put labels on me that are not appropriate. The only label I want is that I am a child of God - not antinomian, Baptist, Presbyterian, et al. I am not promulgating a heresy. I am sharing Jesus Christ - Your response #1 is correct. The mirror shows us our faces are dirty and we need a Savior. #2 Romans chapter 3: There is no boasting v. 27, We will not nullify it, we will uphold it. Why would we uphold it? It has a purpose for unbelievers, not for believers. #3. God delights in it. Are we "under" it? No. I am not saying the Law is bad. In no way. The Law is good, but it has it's purpose - to lead us to Christ. So, perhaps you understand a little better of what I am saying now. In NO WAY am I easy on sin and we are free to just go on sinning our socks off. I don't want to sin because I have been bought with a price, a precious price. If I do sin, I have an advocate, Jesus. Remember, too that the New Covenant did not take effect until the death of Christ. He was born under the Law and taught it - in fact he amplified it to get under the skin of the pharisees - to show them their hypocrisy. Jesus was pointing us to His cross. I do understand Scripture in light of Scripture - Scripture is like a puzzle, the pieces all fit together. If you just take one piece and make a 'teaching' or a 'doctrine' out of it, you'll run into some problems. Hopefully, I have clarified some of what I said. Thanks for writing. Valoree ps: when you say moral law, are you referring to the 10 commandments? |
