k4c,

The law is good. It lacks one thing.

There are those in this world that have not transgressed as Adam; yet they still lack one thing.

One thing is all things.

Gen 25:5-6
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. KJV

Gifts are good.

Being given all is better.

Gal 3:26-29
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. KJV

Some of God's children are given gifts and sent to the east. Some are baptized into Jesus' death and put on Christ/given all, like Isaac, the child of Abraham's hope, while being against hope.

Abraham had many sons. Only in Isaac was Abraham's seed called.

This is an object lesson of the Lord's relationship to humanity.

Ecclesiastes is my favorite book in the Old Testament, because it's full of timeless wisdom.

Its my favorite book as well, because it teaches about life,

especially life in the sight of the Lord, and reprooves those who condemn certain things as worldly... if you know what I mean...
