Featured Law Liquidated

Christ Crucified is needed, but that is not what does it all. The we are saved by his life and Resurrection.

Without the Resurrection your faith is worthless.


1 Corinthians 15

16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

 

As even the Baptist Confession of Faith section 19 admits - the Ten Commandment moral-law the LAW of God (that defines what sin is) was never annulled.
In fact under the NEW Covenant says the "LAW is written on the heart" Jer 31:31-33

And we both know this is true.

What is more Paul says this of the same LAW that condemns all the world as sinners in Romans 3:19-20... "Do we then make void the LAW of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW"

So then in Eph 6:2 Paul makes direct appeal to the TEN Commandments in his call for obedience to the LAW.

In Romans 8:4-10 Paul says the lost "do not and can not submit to the LAW of God" by contrast to the saints

 

Whoever denied that? '.....Delivered up because of our offenses [to pay the penalty of them], and ...raised because of our justification.' The resurrection is the evidence that God is satisfied with the propitiation made by the Son. We are also saved by His ascension to be our great High Priest, which is why we don't need any priests on earth.

 

The Confession doesn't admit it-- it proclaims it! But you need to read all of it, not just the bits you like.

 

Interesting. Do you have a "first new covenant" an "second new covenant" text??

You are proposing a New Covenant where the lost are under the New Covenant and remain lost. There no text that I know of that says those under the New Covenant are lost. Do you have such a text? John 14:1 does not say anything about being lost under the New Covenant.

Hebrews 8:6-10 is verbatim Jer 31:31-33 unchanged. "To the house of Israel" -- do you claim that Paul and all the readers of Hebrews were "lost" under the Hebrews 8 New Covenant?

Acts 20 - Paul was specifically asked to prove he flatly rejected the doctrine you propose. What was Paul's response?

In Romans 3:19-20 all the world - condemned under the Law of Moses. The moral law that defines what sin is.

This is affirmed by a number of Christian groups -

The Baptist Confession of Faith,
the Westminster Confession of Faith ,
D.L. Moody,
R.C Sproul,
Andy Stanley,
Matthew Henry,
Thomas Watson
Eastern Orthodox Catechism
The Catholic Catechism.

 

No texts for that one either I assume - given the actual wording in the New Covenant.

 

Interesting link.

in the Bible -
1. The New Covenant is with believers -- Christians
2. The New Covenant is unchanged from OT to NT and promises forgiveness of sins.
3. The New Covenant is conditional, we are adopted into the family of God and sins forgiven, and we have new birth, new heart.
4. The New Covenant is the ONE Gospel of both OT and NT.
5. there is only ONE Gospel Gal 1:6-9
