Subject: OT laws repeated in NT |
Bible Note: Hi Valoree, Please remember to always include source information if you happen to quote from anyone else's work. I don't know whether you are or not - just a friendly reminder! :-) Also, I would just like to say that I agree with you in not wishing to be labeled. I find that I have been mis-labeled on numerous occasions, and that labels can often be the first line of an unfair argument, as the "labeler" characterizes the other party, but not accurately, and if one accepts the label, then they accept all that goes with it, whether that is appropriate or not. For what it's worth, I consider your argument a slam-dunk, as the Scripture is very clear that the role of the Law is to bring us to Christ, and as we die in Christ, we become dead to the Law, and the Law has no more power over us. Romans 6 is especially clear on this. I really can't imagine from what you have written that you believe we are free to do that which is against God's Law, or that you in any way belittle God's Law, no matter what else is being said of you. God bless you sister! Love in Christ, Mark |
