Yes. So you should understand. (but don't)
The Apostle begins by asking.
Why would you want to be under the law?
Galatians 4:21
Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?
You are completely missing the point. The Apostle says you have chosen the slave woman instead of the free woman.
Are you sure?Yes, because they don't believe. You are right, we are not under the Sinaitic covenant.
You are defending it tooth and nail. So yes, that certainly seems to be the case.Are you saying that I have expressed a desire to be under the law?
You are free to leave the prison of law whenever you choose. The locks are not holding you there. Christ has broken the prison doors to set you free. Yet you remain.Why just visit, why not set the captives free as He did (and does)?
Are you sure?
Exodus 34:28
Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
Deuteronomy 4:13
He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets.
In this passage she is. (figuratively)Are you equating Hagar with Torah? Hagar is not Torah.
You are defending it tooth and nail. So yes, that certainly seems to be the case.
Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Indeed. Have you chosen to be under the 613?The Torah says much more before and after those verses.
In this passage she is. (figuratively)
Galatians 4:24
These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
R.A.Torrey puts it quite well: It is the blood of Christ that takes away the guilt of sin; the Holy Spirit in us that takes away the power of sin; when Jesus comes again we will no longer be in the presence of sin.
Whether a believer is Calvinist with little power of choice, or an Arminian where it is all choice, the reality for a genuinely converted believer with either belief is that the last thing he or she wants to do is to continue in sin of any kind. He or she has been given a new heart and therefore their greatest desire is to honour Christ in all they do. This is what Christian conversion actually is.
The hypocrite will follow the commandments, not because it is in his heart to do, but either through fear of the consequences, going to hell, or for show and praise of others.
The genuine convert, because the guilt has been removed through the blood of Jesus, he has no fear of any consequences, nor of going to hell and he is no longer subject to the fear of praise of man. He loves God with all his heart, soul and strength, therefore the honour of Christ in the way he conducts himself is of paramount importance to him.
Having thus expressed a desire to be under the law. Thanks for proving my point.I am defending Torah, of which the Sinai covenant is a part.
Indeed. Have you chosen to be under the 613?
But they are outside of the Hagar and Sarah analogy. (in Galatians 4:21-31)Mount Sinai is only a part of Torah. Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac are also in Torah.
Having thus expressed a desire to be under the law. Thanks for proving my point.
Did you make that up?The Torah is from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21
No, I need it to refute you.Have you ripped the Sinaitic Covenant out of your Bible?
Where is the "mosaic law" found?The mosaic law has many additions that were not actual commandments of God. Like for example worshipping on the sabbath. Worshipping was never God’s commandment on the sabbath it was the Pharisees or Levites that instituted that idea.
Having thus expressed a desire to be under the law. Thanks for proving my point.
Did you make that up?
Torah
(in Judaism) the law of God as revealed to Moses and recorded in the first five books of the Hebrew scriptures (the Pentateuch).
