Alan, Regardless of who is right or wrong about doctrine when you post things like this you show you are not a christian living as you should and nobody should waste their time listening to you. <<The problem with this world is it is full of self proclaimed teachers that are nothing more than slime.>> The hatred you direct at others here you don't agree with is a testimony of the fruits of the spirit you are exhibiting. You make the devil happy, not the Lord. Romans 16:17 "Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eyes on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them." I Timothy 1:3-10 3 "As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus, in order that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, 4 nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration which is by faith. 5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, 7 wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. 8 But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 realizing the fact that the Law is not made for a righteous man , but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted." So the Law will judge the ungodly but the righteous man is not touched by it. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, freed from the judgement of the law that the unsaved will face. We have nothing to do with the Law. There is no benefit from the Law and it's precepts for us, the saved believers in Jesus. Bob
