Bible Question:
I am so confused!? I am new to all of this and have been going to church for about 8 months now. Not knowing much in the Bible, going to church, at first, was a real eye opener , and made me eager to read God's word for myself. Now that I am devoted in prayer and Bible reading/studying , the more I learn , the more I wonder if this church is right for me??? I am not judging those in the church nor am I judging the pastor, I'm just not sure I believe the way they do. We are taught that the Law of Moses is abolished, that Christ at Calvary ended the "old" law , but then we are taught to abide by all 10 commandments...even though we are then taught that there is no Sabbath day anymore. And if the Law of Moses is abolished , why are we taught to TITHE? I am a full believer in GIVING. I definetly think that the Lord has blessed us , and we need to be thankful. But when it is stressed SO much that the old law does not pertain to us, then we get a sermon about how we are robbing God, because some in the church do not give 10percent and follow all the commandments, just NOT THE SABBATH??? I am just confused? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Paul in one of his epistles clarified the role of the Mosaic law to the christian. Prior to Christ, the Law dominates and binds us to obedience. We either follow it or disobey it. Problem is that the Law is impossible to follow completely. However, as Paul explains, After christ the law becomes as a tutor or a teacher. We aren't bound under following the Law and the consequences of disobedience. However, It remains for us to be a guide .. a pattern to know what God expects. Jesus Christ came to fullfill the law .. complete it and make it whole. Galatians 3:23-29 Matthew 5:17-19 Jesusman |
