I am always a little surprised to find that what one
person considers obedience, another person
sees as legalism.
Jesus plainly gave a command in Matthew five. Do
not throw that which is Holy to
those who would trample it. It is a command straight from our
Lord, to be obeyed, not a legalistic
ritual based on Mosaic law.
jt: Actually it is Matthew 7; if we put every rebel in
this category how is the Church to fulfill the great commission
Terry?
Terry:
I have great freedom in Christ but not the freedom to
disobey a specific order. My question
to you is the same one I asked
Judy. If those who sneer ar God's Holy word and wallow is sin
the way a swine loves mud are not the hogs and the dogs of Matthew
five, who is?
jt: In 2 Peter 2:22 the apostle likens the backslider
to a dog returning to it's vomit and a pig wallowing in the
mire.
Terry:
If God has removed any longing for Him from their minds
and abandoned them to their uncleanness,as His word
says He has, why do we insist on thinking that God
is too loving to ever do what He plainly says He has
done?
"Splain that to me.
Terry
jt: There's a difference between those who have not
ever been reached and those who have seen and choose to turn
from the commandment that they once received.

-I agree
with your accessment of this perversion, but would like
to add that not
all sodomites are reprobated.
Jesus can also liberate this type of sinner as His grace is
more than
enough to cover even this sin.
The difference in our view seem to reach into the area
of legalism which
bound the Priest and the Levite while
on the road to Jericho in Luke 10:25-37. |
