  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

But can the principle of law bondage, still occur, even though it is in our hearts?

Why didn't paul want the law near his churches, using abraham, who had not Moses, if the law was in us?

Wouldn't he say.."ok guys, it is in you, so now walk under law"?

I asked,

What is the spiritual law?
And when did it come?

Your answer "In that passage, to Paul, as a saved person." This does not answer neither question. Please re-submit.

I gave you a contextual answer to my posted verse.. Now answer mine.

Why was sin dead, apart from law in 7:8, for a Christian?

My turn.

Oh paaaalease! if Abe had Moses, paul could not use him to ward off the Moses pushers.

Gee, he had something that came, 430 years later?

17 This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.


If he had the law, it would void the promise, see also rom 4:14, same basic verse as Gal 3;18.


18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

Sir, with all due repsect, i do believe u stand corrected.

sorry..but the law came 430 later.

Look how Paul says blessed in the gospel, cursed under law, using Abe. Why?


Gal 3:9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

3:10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”

He did answer what law will be written on our hearts...He said, "I don't know.."
I think if you look closer he also said he could tell you what it wasn't. And probalby referenced Jer 31:31-34. So I would love to know what it is if it isn't the law issued at Mt Sinai. I'm open to suggestions.

I wonder how one can promote the law after reading the full sentence you quote the last third of in the face of the NT.

The ilk doesn't see the law as a bunch of rules. The ilk sees the law as the OC issued at Sinai and isn't any longer inforce curtesy of Jesus, Who said the NC is current in His blood - Mat 26:28,MK 14:24 and LK 22:20. The law is a single undivisible unit per James in 2:10-11 as well as Paul in Gal 3:10, 5:4 where he says it is either or, one can't have both salvation and the law.

Well if you believe that God changes, I guess he could make up a whole new set of laws...Paul calls the law Holy, Just and Good. If the law is Holy, Just and Good, then why a need for a new law. The bible just states that he will make a new covenant or agreement with his people...Nothing about a new law.

He found fault with the people not his law but he promised he would have the people he desired who would obey because obedience would be in their nature.

Okay, we will use what you have posted here...

"erasing the record that stood against us (this is the charge) with its legal demands." What is the legal demand?
Any time the just charges are dropped a law has been voided - made to be ineffective. If there are no legal demands there is no inforcable law. The legal demand of the speed limit law is thou shalt not do 56 when the sign says the upper limit is 55. In this the law is against you doing 56. The law then prescribes a penalty. The penalty is the punishment for disobedience. Punishment isn't against us. Avaoiding the consequences of ones actions is wrong and eventually one will face those consequences of irresponsibility.

Now you say the punishment is the only thing nailed to the cross in one breath and in the next you say celebrating because we have been delivered from that punishment in the paying of a fine (sacrifice) is against us. Amazing simply amazing!!!
You should know this... Rom 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death.." Death is the "legal demand". Death is the payment for sin!!!
And all followers of the law recieve this. Ah but you say all we have to do is repent and everything is OK. Isn't this the same thing graces pushers are accused of - cheap grace? The law doesn't have much value if it can be so easily be made in effective or bypassed. Why is it most violators want mercy and not law upon violation of a law?

That is what was nailed to the cross! Not the law (which Paul calls Holy, Just and Good) The law is not against anyone. The law simply serves as a guideline and tells us what sin is. The law cannot be against anyone. One does not write a law that is against a person. If so, then it could not be Just or Good!

It is the person who goes against a law. If you break the 55 mph speed limit, it would be you who went against the law, NOT THE LAW GOING AGAINST YOU! There would be no logic in this approach. The law just states a fact. It would be you who would face the charge and you who would pay the fine. Take for instance:

"Thou shall not commit adultery" The law just sets limits or guideline. Would you think this a good law? How many marriages would be safe if people followed it? How many children would be born into good homes with both a father and a mother, if followed? [/aquote]Safe??? That wouldn't cause sin to cease in the least. If anything it would protect sin. Please read a couple times my discussion on this above.

I don't understand why you don't see, that the spiritual law, that you ask about in 7:14, was that which made sin work in Paul, sin and law work in conjunction.

God does change things. Mal 3:6 and Heb 13:8 refer to God's character and not His program. Examine the record very closely and one must come to this conclusion.
