Now we gonna have someone who will say that the law an we are not under Moses law or that OT laws?
.
We are not under any of it unto righteousness, lets read:
So, my brothers and sisters, y
ou also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. [SUP]5 [/SUP]For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[SUP]
[a][/SUP] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. [SUP]
6 [/SUP]
But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
What law is Paul speaking of here? He gives a personal example from his own life
The Law and Sin
[SUP]
7 [/SUP]What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.
For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”(one of the ten commandments)[SUP]
[b][/SUP] [SUP]
8 [/SUP]But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. [SUP]
9 [/SUP]Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. [SUP]
10 [/SUP]I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. [SUP]
11 [/SUP]For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
Rom7:4-11
As for the OT laws, lets read what the Gentiles were asked to keep.
Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood
Acts15:20
Three of the above are widely believed to hjave been included to appease jewish legalists, however:
I am pretty sure I don't eat food that has been polluted by idols, I am faithful to my wife, obviously I don't know when I go the shop if I buy meat whether the meat belongs to an animal that has been strangled or not, but ignorance is bliss, if I don't know I can't be wilfully breaking the OT laws the early church asked the Gentiles to keep, simple really
