How do you explain away Galatians?
I don't explain any scripture away, that's how people misunderstand it, its not supposed to be ignored or explained away. and your not supposed to see 3 scriptures saying something and disregard the 100 others. they go together. listen because you point to galatians. do this read chapter 5 and don't just see what you want to, take what is there for what is there, take all of it in. and then fix your mind on this galatians 6:7-8 "do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked. a man reaps what he sows. the man who sows to please His sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction, the one who sows to please the spirit will reap eternal life."
instead of thinking I'm not deeing the 3 scriptures that seem to say we don't have any obligation to obey the Lord, realize it is throughout the entire word of God. you are mis understanding galatians, your seeing parts and pieces. obedience is a constant in the word. notice "sow" there is work and effort that go into sowing. notice verse 9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will receive a harvest if we do not give up" our efforts should be fully set on following Gods word, I'm sorry you disagree but read
col.3 check v 5-8, phil.3:12-16, eph.4:17-5:15, 2 cor. 13:5, 1peter 1:13-16, james 1:22-25
1 peter 1:14-15 "as obedient children do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance, but just as He wqho called you is holy, so be holy in all you do....
I found these verses in 15 minutes just by skimming my bible. you and others may think I'm here trying to show I'm something or whatever. The only reason I'm here is to share the truth with people. many already know and Praise God, but if one person really is tired of not having the freedom and victory they read of, if they will obey Jesus, find out what He says to do and do it. everythiong will change.
Finally I want to give you this one last verse in 1 thess. 4:1-8.....v.7-8 " for God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life, therefore whoever rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his holy spirit."
it is because I love my Christian family, and because God has changed my life that I speak. if they don't want to hear the truth, I'm still gonna speak what I'm supposed to and trust God to make the seeds grow.
