Mon, 15 June 2009 It is a common teaching in the church today; the Law is at odds with grace. You may have heard it like this: the Law=bondage while Jesus=freedom. Some even say that Jesus freed us from the Law. Is that what Paul was talking about when he penned the words of Galatians 2:4? In that passage, Paul says that false brethren came in "to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage." ...it sort of sounds that way, doesn't it? Yet again, we believe that the message Paul is giving here differs with the popular opinion of most Christian churches and commentaries. As we have stated before, to believe that Paul is teaching against the Law is to overlook his own observance of it! Remember Paul, like Stephen was "falsely accused of teaching against the Law and the customs of Moses." Difficult to our American ears in the year 2009, huh? What does James have to say about the things that Paul is writing? What does David have to say about the Law that Paul is supposedly teaching against? Listen along with us this week, because Tim will answer that and many other questions as we dig deeper into the book of Galatians. May the Lord bless you and keep you, Shabbat shalom! Comments[0] |
