Two Camps... rules & grace
One camp had the instruction book from God, but didn't recognize the Messiah.
The other camp recognized the Messiah, but wanted nothing to do with the instruction book.
but then... what would the united camp look like?
========================================================
this is how Disciple;mike is coming across to us:
the (2) camps are the Jewish Camp and the Christian Camp -
the Jewish Camp loves and adores the Law and Commandments of God, as David did,
a 'man after God's own Heart'...but, they deny Christ, as Messiah.
the Christian-camp adores Messiah, The Christ, but it skeptical concerning
the Laws, Judgments, and Statues of God...
THE PROBLEM is that the word, LAW, in the Greek has one basic meaning - but in
Hebraic thought it can refer to many 'different aspects', - there is the Law of God,
the Law of Christ, the Law of 'sin and death', the Law of FAITH and several others,
that aren't coming to me right off of the top of my head!!
PHIL. 3:6.
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
we have to analyze the context, is Paul blameless, according to the Law of God??
NO, he admits that he was a chief sinner and still struggles with the 'flesh and the spirit' -
BUT,
according to the oral Law, which according the Pharisees -superceded the 'written Law -
so,
according to the oral Law, He was 'blameless'...
another example is,
ROMANS 7:23. - But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind,
and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
this is the Law of sin , which is contrasted in Romans 7, to God's Law, which is Holy-Just- & Good.
the point is, that we have been 'brain-washed' through 'traditional 'Christianity, with all of its
(anti-Semitic bias) that all of the Law is 'bad' that it is 'legalisim', which in reality boils-down to
the 'legalistic requirements of, (man's-traditions') which is and always has been,
'antagonistic' to God's Law...
but it is written: Isa. 2:3. -Clearly a Kingdom prophecy -
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the
to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths:
for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
LAW is translated Torah, which means instruction or direction, it is not,
(stop in the name of the law or you will get a 'traffic-ticket", unfortunately, this is the mind-set
of 'churchianiaty'
)
