New thread about the law and the meaning there-of

[JonMiller]

I am sorry that I was being a bit condesending. But you refuse to define things or reference things which makes discussion and communication impossible.

Trust is a good and simple definition. Why would you want to make it difficult?

Because we mean different things when we say Trust. For me Trust != Faith.

There's plenty written about angels in Scripture.

But does scripture ever have the goal of writing about angels? The description and relationships with angels isn't the purpose of scripture, so any such discussion would be incomplete. Namely, we never see them demonstrate faith...

And? Of course they also said it.

Don't get condescending now...


Are you under the 10 commandments?

Say clearly what you mean by that. I am guessing that you mean different things than I mean.

There's that condescension coming out...

Not sure how you got that out of my statement:

"Christ was born under the law, had authority over it, and redeemed us from it. He is who we are joined to after dying to the law (Romans 6 & 7)."

I don't think you understand what the scripture means.

You're entitled to your opinion. What references to the law did Paul make that you feel I'm ignoring?

" 1It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife. "

Give an example.

" 12"Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13"Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."[b] 17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."

I always find it interesting that nine commandments survived getting nailed to the cross
