Debate: Should Christians keep the feast days (view source)
Revision as of 01:20, July 16, 2024
, 01:20, July 16, 2024→Digression on law
:::::::(ec) Here's what the Bible teachers (in thumbnail): The Grace of God has always existed, laid before the foundations of the Earth. With the fall of Adam, and murder of righteous Abel (and what came afterward, ''"every thought of his heart was to do evil continuously"''), man rejected God's Grace, and chose Law. But the Law was only our schoolmaster, to bring us unto righteousness. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth. Just Putin It Out There'']]</sup> 18:13, July 15, 2024 (EDT)

::::::::Man chose law? If man chose to abide by God's law, he would not have sinned, because "sin is the transgression of the law." (I John 3:4) And there is no transgression where there is no law (Rom. 4:35), which means that since Adam and Cain clearly committed some infraction, they violated God's instituted law. Grace means redemption from the stain of sin, justified by God, to thereafter walk in His law instead of one's own ways. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Tuesday, 20:49, July 15, 2024 (EDT)

:::::::::God gave all his creatures free will. Lucifer chose to ''worship and serve the creature more than the Creator.'' Adam and all his offspring followed suit. God is constantly offering man choices. Man chose Law over Grave. The Law can only condemn, it cannot save. Jesus came to redeem us from the curse of the Law.

*Of course Rob is right. '''It was God himself who said to kill the man. Numbers 15:35.''' <small>Then again after someone else misinterpreted Genesis yesterday - out of political motivation.
