Re: To the Hebrews
I see your argument, but it looks strained. Would anyone ever say, "I used to be Irish, but now I'm a Christian"? No, of course not, because being Irish isn't mutually incompatible with being...

Re: The Psalms are the word of Christ
What's interesting about this statement is that it says that I believe that "every jot and tittle speaks about Christ regardless of what it actually says." In fact, on one of the first posts on this...

Re: To the Hebrews
hello mr ss,
The topic of this thread is the law of Christ, the royal law, the new commandment, to love one another. That is my understanding. If you believe and confess that God has raised Jesus...

Re: The Law of Christ
I'll try not to overstate my case, nor make it antagonistic. But my sense has been that "There is neither Jew nor Greek" within a few generations became "There is no Jew, only Greek", followed by...

Re: The Law of Christ
I overstated my case, that Peter, 7 years after the resurrection, is seen saying that he never ate anything unclean. Certainly I never meant to imply that he considered this the basis of holiness or...

Re: To the Hebrews
No worries. I occasionally do the same thing, I'm sure. "Forgive, even as ye are forgiven". So, no worries
I see your point. Thank you. Always happy to consider alternatives to my views. I think...

Re: To the Hebrews
I've heard this in the past & was unimpressed, but decided to revisit, and you are right, there is a fair amount of scholarly support for the idea. I read one paper that hypothesized that Luke...

To the Hebrews
I doubt the author of the epistle To the Hebrews was Paul. He said that the gospel was made known to him by those who saw the Lord (Heb 2:3). Paul got his revelation from God, he made that plain and...

Re: The Law of Christ
I think that I understand your points better. Initially I thought that you meant that we (the readers) must keep all the law, now I see you saying that we (like the Galatians) can't keep all the...

Re: The Law of Christ
A little background is in order, perhaps. Prior to the NT era, the Jewish nation was unique in access to God, via obedience to the divinely accorded law. The Psalmist thus thanked the LORD for...

Re: The Law of Christ
Deuteronomy and the NT is a bit of a sidebar from Bear Bear's initial post, so I'll make my comments here, as a sidebar.
Deuteronomy 17 speaks of the King, who keeps God's Law.
Deut 17:18 “Now...

Well, I certainly did misread your initial post. But I still don't know what it had to do with Bear Bear's first post. It seemed that you were contradicting him, but perhaps you were just using his...

Re: The Law of Christ
I apologize again, my previous lengthy post was put in because I saw a poster apparently telling all of the readers to keep the law, THE WHOLE LAW, i. e. "follow all 613 injunctions, all the time"......

Re: The Law of Christ
I apologize to our readers, I should have given scriptural references earlier. (Not everyone has read the same verses that I have). I should have said that Peter (Acts 10:14), Paul (Acts 16:3; 21:26)...

Re: The Law of Christ
Regarding Bricklayer's comments, they have validity except he fails to distinguish Jew from non-Jew. Peter kept the whole law, indivisible, as did Paul, as did James. But the main thrust of the NT...
