We are no longer subject to the law, nor are we under the law. Those that are "In Christ" do not live according to rules and laws. They live according to the Holy Spirit and by faith in Christ and his Gospel. This is what Paul meant when he said, "THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH" Romans 1:17.
The issue is not the law as a rule of life, or to whom does it apply. The issue is, since you argued, on record, that the Holy Spirit replaces the law of God, for the believer( That is your "argument."), if the law applies to the lost, and not the believer, having been replaced by the Holy Spirit, according to you, replacing the good, holy,.....law, how are the saved to determine, objectively, what is right/wrong, if the law no longer exist, Pate? Answer:
Tell us why, then, murder, theft, adultery, lying....are wrong, if their is no objective source outside of yourself, such as the holy, good, spiritual law of God, to define wrong. Tell all of TOL, again, what you told me,i.e., right/wrong is determined subjectively, by each individual, through feelings, experiences, and consensus. It is called ethical subjectivism, moral relativism. And you try to "splain it away, Lucy," with, "Well, you see, the Holy Spirit tells me that murder, theft, adultery, lying, are wrong, and my Holy Spirit is 'more right' than yours, as everyone knows, the consensus knows, and my parents taught me, that murder, theft, adultery, lying,are wrong, and everyone else is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Months of silence, from this demonic child of the devil, as the devil has a gag order on him.
Tell us, Pate, to one who would tell you:
"I do not live according to rules and laws. I live according to the Holy Spirit and by faith in Christ I am led by the Holy Spirit. You taught me that, and that the Holy Spirit replaced the law of God. He tells me that sodomy, multiple wives is OK. "
What would you say? Go ahead, Pate. Tell us all.
