Dear Greatkraw,
Here's another thought, and it seems to fit in with this debate we are having on this issue........Please remember Paul's decree about the Law.......
This again, is another part of this NEW COVENANT TITHING..............Which as I said I will do another time......but because you persist to know, here
it is............Now keep in mind here, this is the NEW COVENANT OF LOVE, GRACE, MERCY, ETC......ALL EXTENDED TO YOU AND ME, BASED ON OUR
LOVING FATHER WIPING OUT OUR PAST BECAUSE OF CHRIST.......To say WHERE IS IT WRITTEN, IMPLIES A BLACK AND WHITE REFERENCE, WHICH
INDICATES TO ME, LAW............AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND WHAT PAUL SAID ABOUT THE LAW........THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE BY THE LAW,
HAD BETTER DO IT PERFECTLY BECAUSE IF THEY MISS ONE PART, THEN THEY ARE GUILTY OF BREAKING THE WHOLE LAW......GAL. 3:10 (and to live under those laws, brings a curse anyway...........is this how we should live, or by faith).............READ CAREFULLY MY FRIEND......
Galatians 3- vs. 15 - Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations; even though it is only a mans covenant, YET WHEN IT HAS BEEN RATIFIED, NO
SETS IT ASIDE OR ADDS CONDITIONS TO IT...........16- Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say " AND TO SEEDS", as referring to many but rather to one, "AND TO YOUR SEED,'' that is CHRIST. 17- What I am saying is this: the Law which came four hundred and thirty years later.........DOES NOT INVALIDATE A COVENANT PREVIOUSLY RATIFIED BY GOD, SO AS TO NULLIFY THE PROMISE............
Pray about this, remember SPIRITUAL TRUTH MUST BE UNDERSTOOD IN THE HEART, NOT THE INTELLECT............
There are many more examples to share with you, but suffice it to say...........If your heart is not in it, well even though it's not SPELLED OUT IN BLACK AND WHITE AS IN MALACHI, DOESN'T CHANGE THE COVENANT RATIFYING PROCESS............
