RE: [TruthTalk] For the record II

Michael D,   If you don’t know that God’s Commandments and God’s Laws are the same thing, I can’t even begin to know how to have a discussion with you about this. If the Law no longer applies to you, I am very sorry to hear that you are a lying, adultering, thieving, etc, etc, so and so!  (Surely not?)  Izzy   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of michael douglas Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 3:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] For the record II   Michael D: OK. What I am trying to point out is that the passages quoted don't mention the law. Commandments are anything God tells us to do or not to do. They are not restricted to what was in the law. Also, commandments in the OT don't necessarily equate to commandments in the NT. Most people accept that, because they don't do alot of stuff that was done under the law. Can you relate to that difference?  It is important to understand that Paul says in Galatians 3 that the law was added because of transgression, till Jesus should come. (That tells me that since I am in Christ, the law does not apply to me). It sets a very definitive time span for the law. That's why the Holy Ghost said, ...don't require it of the Gentiles.  I encourage you to read Acts 15 and Galatians 3, to see that I am not making this stuff up. If you can read the whole of Galatians even better. Rom 3:19.   Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Rom 6:14.   For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under law, but under grace. Please realize that the law doen not speak to those who are under grace. Again, that's why the Holy Ghost said not to bother the Gentiles with the law.  ShieldsFamily <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Michael D, I have no idea what you are talking about.

After all, Jesus said, ‘Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me.’” ~ Jerry Bridges in Discipline of Grace   -----Original Message----- Well, alll of the scriptures below, tell us to obey God's commandments, but none tell us about the law. Can you see that? If we say they speak about the law, then we are reading something into them that is not there. Can we agree on that? Even if they were to mean the law, we could not determine that from the literal scriptures quoted, can you see that?     With Yahoo!
