The tune doesn’t change. A governor placed on a child comes off when a child becomes mature. In the same way a non-believer only needs the law until they become a believer and know what they believe in. They will never understand Christianity w/o that teaching, which the church is reluctant to proclaim.
Proper authority is, as I said, the governor of the child. Christ is the child in comparison to the Father. We, as the church, are on the same ground as Jesus to the Father ....The governor is comparable to law which is to be grown out of.
Jesus continually brought the message of the law to a higher value as we are to do by bringing it to the spiritual understanding. We could argue all day long that the bible says an eye for an eye etc. but the fact is that a higher law of the Spirit is the road we are supposed to be on since the coming of the Spirit.T
It seems very odd that you are placing yourself in the position of a teacher as a spiritual person that has matured is supposed to but then contradict that maturity by placing yourself as a person not yet moved beyond the elementary teachings.
The governor is the law, meant to be a prelude grace, when once we understand grace it’s a different story. Mixed religion understates the presence of doublemindedness where a dove’s eyesight is needed to perceive the spiritual view.
Meat is needed not more milk, but there are those who prefer the old wine. Who then is the one responsible to mend that which is torn? I said I believe only God can do that. And I continue to believe that. One foundation must give way to a new one, a new and higher truth, that is fundamental to Christianity.
