I am working on my thoughts about how to view the New Testament in light of the Old Testament. I have some thoughts of my own, but I would be interested to hear other people's thoughts.
I'm thinking through things like:
- What is Jesus' role with respect to the Mosaic (Old Testament) law?
- What do we in "New Testament" churches do with these Old Testament laws? Are they outdated? Are they relevant for us today? Can we take some while leaving others behind? (more succinctly: What is the role of the Old Testament in our churches today?)
- Do Paul and Jesus agree on their perspective of how we should treat the law?
I would love to have discussions with people about any or all of these questions. Below are some texts to consider:
Matthew 5.17
2 Corinthians 3.5-6
Romans 7.22
Romans 7.12
Romans 3.31
Romans 10.4
1 Timothy 1.5
Ephesians 2.14-15
Colossians 2.14
Thanks for your thoughts!
