[TruthTalk] Christ and the Law

[Judy Taylor]

PS: Why do you always ignore the main point JD which is being under the Law of Christ.  You are very vocal about the Mosaic Law but seem always to avoid the latter.  I guess you must be "antinomian" after all.     JD writes:   The promise of "inspiration" applies to scripture  --   not translations of scripture.     Then from your perspective JD we have lost the Word of God for all intents and purposes because all we have in our generation are "translations" without any promise and with no inspiration.  How terribly sad!!   You can use JudyLogic all you want.   You take Ps 12 completely out of context and try to make it apply to English translation   --  or is it the KJV only.    The fact is this:  you presume to know how this preservation was accomplished.     Exactly where do I detail HOW this is accomplished by God JD?  Just one more baseless accusation.   The "words" that are preserved are the one's spoken by the Lord in v 5 of Ps 12  !!!   The psalmist is not talking about the "bible"     ---   he is talking about the word that will establish the afflicted and the needy.                         &n bsp;    Looks to me (on the basis of the above) that you are the one who details how God can not or will not do what He says He will do.  Psalm 12 is a Psalm of David  and yes, God takes care of the poor and needy - He is also well able to preserve His Word in every generation with or without anyone's permission.    Jeremiah 51:63 Judy  -- stop with this proof-texting  !!!    This is not about the "originals."   It is about a prophecy against Babylon.   The sinking of the scroll of oracles was a visual lesson to that city of what lay ahead.     So was the whole nation of Babylon watching so that they could receive the "visual lesson?" and did they put away their pagan dieties for a time to listen to the record of the captive Jewish prophet?  Who is "proof texting?" and why this "straw man term" that you whip out whenever you don't like the direction JD. I understand that some things are hard to swallow and don't deny the subject of the prophecy but neither can you deny the fact that the prophet was instructed to weigh the original written record  with a rock and throw it into the Euphrates and yet it remains in the scriptural record anyway ... So where is the beef?   Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" That is a very, very powerful God, but if God says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" (Matt 24:35) - what great care and power he must extend to those words.   And His word   does   continues.     Hmmm ... With permission and only the parts that have your approval JD; which are the ones that fit into your peculiar doctrinal mould and agree with your favorite men of the cloth.  Do you tremble at His Word JD? or do you try to temper parts you consider to be hard because God is so loving after all??   The Berean call was to "search the scriptures daily" not correct them.  When the bible refers to "scriptures" as it does here in Acts 17:11, the reference is to copies not original manuscripts.  Consider 2 Timothy 3:15, "From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures"  Neither he nor the Ethiopian eunuch, who also read "the scriptures" had the 800 year old originals of the book of Isaiah.  If "the word" is a Greek text only, then only the Greek speaking churches could "preach the word" (2 Tim 4:2) and only those fluent in Greek could be "born again by the word" Acts 2:6 says "Every man heard them speak in his own language"    Your theory tells us that the greek text is the only thing  NOT included in God's promise to preserve His "word."   Silliness.     What you call "my theory" does not distinguish Greek from any other language (see Acts 2:6).  God the Spirit was able to translate Peter's words on the day of Pentecost to those of every nation present at the temple on that day; believers also received the promise that He would bring to their remembrance what they should say in response to their accusers.  So has something changed since then?   Is God in the business of deceiving housewives who do not have access to a library of Greek reference books? 1 Cor 6:4 reminds us to "set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church"  We can have confidence that "every word" in the KJ Bible is the pure word of God."
