consistently,
there is no NT segment where law and grace are considered on equal
footing--grace has always existed--law 'was added' in (a) time, for a
particular historical context (Rom 5:20)
grace which
transcends history is exclusive of law in every NT context where they
appear together
Rom 6:14,
15 has always been true--there, grace is not dependant on anyone's
explanation/s
grace,
perennialy present, cannot be 'set aside' (Gal 2:21), certainly
not for any/one's temporal laws
grace, not law
which had to be added later, was God's guide in dealing w/ Abraham
(Gal 3:18)--hundreds of years before Sinai which even Moses' and his
brother Aaron and sister Miriam defied, even while God's
grace overcame them
indeed some ppl
abandon grace or turn away from grace for law practices, like you want
us to do (illicitly, acc to the NT, Gal 5:4)
forget
it
in sum,
grace has nothing to do with law except in slick but confusing
semi-dispensational thinking like yours
..by faith we eagerly await through
the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.
For in Christ
Jesus..The only thing
that counts is faith expressing itself through love..
(Gal 5)
