Right Divider
Body part
Was it wrong when Cain murdered Able? It was morally wrong for Cain to murder his brother and yet he violated no law.You're agreeing with what I said.
The moral aspect of the law can never be removed, otherwise sin cannot be defined as a violation of a moral principle.
Murder (etc.) is WRONG regardless of law or no law.
You and Tellmorelies have a caricature of MAD that you beat the straw out of. Great work guys.We're getting into the heart of what mad is about here. And this is where it stinks of gnosticism right to the core.
Indeed.... WHO will deliver us? Christ has delivered US.Concerning sin, only the judicial aspect of the law, that was empowered to condemn a sin act, has been abolished. The understanding is that if we are alive to God in the Spirit/spirit, the physical act of the body cannot be condemned because Jesus took the punishment for it on the cross.
However, as Paul said, "For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 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. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?"
Just exactly how does MAD teach otherwise?
Paul never tries to subdivide the law the way that you guys do.
Paul begins his talk about the law in Romans 2 as follows:
Rom 2:12-16 KJV For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (13) (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. (14) For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: (15) Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another (16) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
So you think that Paul is referring to the ceremonial here?
Rom 3:20 KJV Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Do you think that is refers to ceremonial law?
