If God is a graceful God, which we know HE is, - full of grace – why do some of you think HE would dispense something to us that is totally opposite in the entity of His “Law”? That makes no sense whatsoever.
It was by His grace that He gave the law to reveal our transgressions – if He hadn’t we would all be destined for eternity in hell.
Point your finger toward the law as a scapegoat and your eternity is in jeopardy. Hebrews 4:1 (NAS) Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.
It is high time our doctrines place the blame of failure on us where it belongs instead of on God’s law. It is man/human nature who messes up the works, NOT the law God gave to man.
I certainly hope that those who reject the law as given to Moses, for whatever reason will learn that “He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.” Deuteronomy 8:3 (NAS) And for those of you who don’t like the law, Jesus says exactly the same thing in Luke 4:4 and Matthew 4:4 “But He answered and said, "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD."
All = everything, not a percentage of anything no matter how large that percentage might be.
If you truly have the indwelling Spirit, you will understand this. If you cannot understand, then you need to beseech Almighty God for the new life He offers because your born-again experience was vain. The carnal mind cannot understand spiritual things. Romans 8:6-7 (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
