RE: [TruthTalk] The Law

Terry,     Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. (Gal 3:7)  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Gal 3:29)  That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: (Gal 3:6)   I believe I am, by faith in Christ’s atoning Blood, no longer a Gentile (ie: A pagan or heathen), but the seed of Abraham. I do not honor the Sabbath to save myself. I honor it because I am free to obey. I want to obey. I am blessed when I obey. I am happy when I obey. Does that bother you? You sound a bit testy about it.

All the words in the Bible do not apply to every Bible reader!  Before you stone me for that outrageous statement, please look at Leviticus, the book of the Law.  Go to the last chapter, then down to the last verse. (27:34)  See it now?  The law was for the "Children of Israel".  Only the "Children of Israel".  Christians do not need to keep the sabbath.  The law never applied to Gentiles, not then, not now.   The rich young ruler in Matthew was spoken to prior to the cross.  He was still under the law at that time because he was a Jew, not a Gentile, and prior to the cross, the law was in effect.   Got it now?    Terry
