What is the Law of Sin and Death?

That would be a different subject. Is that isolated text what you are basing the spirit of the law on?

That would make the essence of the law as the impregnator of Mary. That would make the essence of the law as what led Jesus into the wilderness.
That would make the essence of the law as what was received at Pentecost.
Etc....

Why?

I was responding to a post about the spirit of the law wanting to know the Biblical basis for that interpretation and you responded. If you don't want to discuss it that is fine.

No problem :)

In answer to your previous question what is the law of sin and death...

The law of sin and death is the old covenant law that was given to the Israelites so that sin would abound.

Hi awl
Is your god a wishy washy god?

A few thousand yrs you must keep the sabbath!
For 2 thousand yrs, dont bother
1000 yr period of rest-you must keep it again

ISAIAH 66 [22] For as the NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. [23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, shall ALL FLESH COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE ME, saith the Lord.

My God is....

Now I have a text that talks about the "spirit of the law"? Where is there "spirit of the law" in that text? How does "the law is spiritual" equal the "spirit of the law"? According to the Greek how does spiritual equal essence?

It simply doesn't!;) It's a phrase used by those promoting law instead of Jesus Christ.

Hi ,

Those who will oppose you here will say that this texts is taken out of context and the phrases in the texts' that say God will make a new heaven and a new earth don't "really mean that at all". So the parts that say we will come and worship before the Lord each Sabbath is not literal either. Some will call this "proof texting" or "key phrasing".

At any rate if they accept what it really says in Isa 66 they cannot in good faith continue to not celebrate the Sabbath today. 99.9999% of all of this law arguement is over the 4th commandment. You won't find that any of the modern day Christians have a real problem with any of the other ten commandments. I think this is significant in light of what the Bible tells us for the last days and the influence of the enemy of our souls.


God Bless

I wish you had included two other facts.

In the entire book of Genesis the Sabbath is not mentioned at all.
During the entire captivity in Egypt the Hebrews did not observe the Sabbath and God still considered them to be His people and delivered them.

You're making claims about one verse (and even then you ignore the New Moons, which I doubt you're observing), but you still have yet to deal with why ch. 65 & 66 also speak of the wicked still living (only to 100), death still being present, the horror the saints experience every time they view the dead bodies strewn about being eaten by worms, the fact that they still have to work the ground, they build their own houses (instead of living in the mansions God has prepared), and on and on. So, YES! You and others have plucked part of one verse out because in that partial phrase it can be used to promote the law, specifically the 4th C. But you do so while ignoring everything else around it.

In Christ alone...

Wrong again, the word Sabbaton is used ( which is synomymous to Sabbath ) in the original language ( hebrew ) when describing God taking a break from creation. That old arguement does not hold water.

So when the text says "he rested from ALL His work" which He had made it really meant that He took a break from some of His work. This is an absolute gem.

Your kiddin, right? If you cant see that the law is spiritual i do understand. Prophecy fulfilled.

Isaiah 42:21
The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

Do you also believe Jesus did not magnify the law but put an end to the law. Again, if so, i understand. Prophecy fulfilled.
