Featured The dispensation of grace

God has always dealt with [people from the standpoint of GRACE. If you are preaching anything else you are preaching a false message. If you are preaching the dispensational error invented by John Nelson Darby you deserve criticism!

 

Hello agm
Discussing the law is a large topic. What you are speaking of is Paul's response to the Judaizers.
Preaching the law is not preaching to the choir as most resist God, His word, and the laws demands on them.
Of course Christ is the solution.....but as it is explained in Romans 10
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

This shows that the broken law is what is the background for the good news to be given.

 

Which is what I actually was stating.
I have never met an adult who did not know they broke at least one of the ten commandment. I didn't have to teach them the law, I didn't have to hammer them with the law, and I never met a person who wouldn't readily agree that the broken law was also a matter that God would hold them responsible.

What is suggested by those who would cover their sin, not desire their sin to be exposed is that in some manner God will not hold them responsible. That either by the good they have done, or minimizing the evil done, or suggesting the love of God will overlook the evil, are all excuse that we have all heard, often.

What then is the real confrontation?

It resides in submitting to God's plan and in none other.

That is the crux of the argument.

If one harps on the broken law, it matters little.

It is enough that folks know the law has been broken and that God has provided a redemption. The results are in God's hands.

 

Unless a person first admits he is lost (has sinned) he cannot be saved.

 

Agedman you never responded to this...

 

Perhaps there is a difference between Britain and America on this matter, but over here the problem is convincing people that they are sinners. If they think at all about God, they think they are fine with Him. Most of tem don't know the 10 Commandments anyway. The WOTM approach can be helpful with such people. They won't go to the Doctor unless they realise that they're sick.

 

Many of us learned that teaching first.
At first you do not question anything you just want to learn what is offered.
A new Christian does not know enough to question anything because they are new and lack scriptural command or any real biblical overview.
You should not be afraid to read the best views by those who hold that view.
No matter which view you hold you should never neglect all lawful duties because of the view you have adopted.
If your view leads to any failure to serve and worship God it is a wrong view.
Antinomian tendencies follow that view and strange as it seems leads to a legalistic bondage.
Some of us have posted a link to the 95 objections to that view. It is written in a caustic manner as the writer sometimes goes over the edge letting his emotions derail his thoughts.....but look more at the issues and questions raised.

 

Why do you say......besides the sabbath?
The Sabbath was made for man.

 

look back at post #15

I think that answers the question.

If not, let me know what more you would desire.

 

No and you know he is not. But he was quoting you saying that we are under the 10 commandments which does include the Sabbath, so do you follow the Sabbath and if not, why do you say we are under the 10 commandments?
