Surely, Paul (as in Eph. 3:4 and John 20:31 for a quick example) wrote so as to be understood. There is virtue in "common sense" Bible reading.
Alexander Campbell one said, "When I at last took the naked text and read it with common sense, the Bible became a new book to me".
"We must come within understanding distance" -- which means the heart as well as the head is involved in making sense of the Bible. ALL SCRIPTURE MUST BE INTERPRETED IN REFERENCE TO THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST! To put it another way, our Lord is Himself the interpreter of Scripture.
7th Day Adventist and their sympathizers will take away your freedom in Christ if you allow them. Gal. 5:1. TT over the years has become a place where Biblcial truth is give "lip" talk but not understood even in simple salvation.
A true Bible believer is not welcome on TT even thought TT claims otherwise.
I am also interested in hearing your answer to the second question I asked:
"If he did, what does that do to the law under the new covenant?"
