I also love the law, as this passage says. The law is God given, and it has its
divinely appointed purposes. To searve as a standard of morality, and to cause
Gods people to see thier wretchedness, and thier need for Divine help.



I wont comment on any of that because I generally agree with it. Nothing in there is
problematic regarding my view..


I dont see anything in any of that that that disturbs my point .

No problem for me. The Law still serves as a moral guide, and it continues to cause
honest lost people to realise thier depravity. and turn to Christ.
At that point, the child of God is freed from Law, and its condemnation.
They are then living in the "newness of the Spirit", as opposed to the oldness of the law.

Because the law brings death, while the Spirit brings life.


Here are some good passages of scripture for you to consider....

Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not]b] of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

AIC, if you buy the book and are in anyway disappointed.....I will buy it from you. You might not agree with everything in it,but I guarantee you will learn much and be challenged.

Again as far as your response....let me say plainly to you...I understand 2 cor 3....although there is still much I need to learn there.

Here is a portion of Hebrews 3 that highlights this truth ;

1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

2Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

3For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

4For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

5And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

See verses 5-6....Moses [ot] was faithful as a servant
Christ as a Son

Moses[law] gives way to Joshua[grace and law] leading into the promised land.
The law leads to Christ,Gal 3:24...and

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

What was in type is now fulfilled in Christ.

That could be. Or maybe I misunderstood something you said.

Either way, it appears we are on the same page. :thumbs:

Which means that we have a peacefull, cordial ending to a Baptistboard Baptist theology disagreement!


ITS A MIRACLE!! ITS A MIRACLE!! ITS A MIRACLE!!

 

[evangelist6589]

This is false. If they need you and you refuse, you are creating an undue hardship. Since the Sabbath by definition is Saturday, you cannot claim Sunday is it, nor has it been redefined as Sunday anywhere in the NT.

This conversation is a waste of my time. I have already spoke with legal experts. One does not need to work sunday unless they are an undue hardship (which has to be proven). Regarding the day of worship. Well for me and 99.99% of Christians this is sunday and I have every right to worship on this day.

It might do you some good to speak with some real legal experts.
