Dear Gregor, It is so hard for me to even understand exactly what is meant by being under the law. Respect for the wisdom of God as good for my life to me is not trusting it as may salvation but just trusting Him period. I am not saying you don't but feel this is the root of the term being under the law and I am trying to explain where I am coming from. Parts of the law are obviously accepted by all people like the 10 commandments so I don't understand what is bad to follow. Isn't a lack of personal relationship with Jesus the real problem in the scriptures with the law? Then the NT gives 2 views on some laws, like circumcision, Paul told Titus not to be circumcised but took Timothy himself to be circumcised. This tells me that these things are personal and each of us has to work out our own salvation and encourage one another along. It is impossible for me to take away the New or Old Testament, Jesus said in the wilderness that man does not live by bread alone but on EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM GODS MOUTH. That is how I see it every word. Understanding it and applying it to our lives is between each person and the Holy Spirit. To me His Holiness in Jesus as demonstrated in the Ark in the OT has saved me from self destruction and taught me right from wrong and how to love others and I am so totally gratefull that I love His Holiness. I am confident to come to Him and crawl into His lap for comfort and counsel but revere Him as my Father who will not spare me from my errors but carefully discipline me to conform me into the image of His perfect Son. Why is eternal punishment such a focus of the Church? That to me has been totally taken care of but as for now I want to please Him and have felt the impact of His discipline and maybe others are not as bad as I am but that discipline gave me the fear of the Lord.:( The fear of the Lord is good as it is for my children to fear me, I understand the need of it to guide us and conform us. I get red flags as well like to me the need to express the OT as dead or say the law was imperfect and I start scratching the dirt and snorting. But I am praying to listen first and make sure I have His wisdom and understanding before I charge. Thought I would add a few to the list of agitating remarks; Aren't you glad you don't have to be one of those Jews anymore? Only the Jews will stay for the tribulation. Your life would be better if your husband attended church more regularly. Everyone who is not baptised with water will not go to Heaven. You would think at some point I would get numb or let go and let God deal with it. The word for me this year is Compassion. Yeshua had so much compassion like when He saw them crying about Lazarus and the widow whos son He raised from the dead from compassion. May He be our guide this year. Nancy
