The Law and The Gospel | Panel Discussion

[@It-is-true-1689]

Dr. Renihan is the intellectual and spiritual giant there

[@mikeroberts1970]

In all this discussion I heard mostly that it's up to me to keep the law to be saved. From my LCMS background this sounds as a Roman Catholic discussion of doing enough good and keeping the law for salvation.

[@RONALD-ej8cj]

The law brings us to a place that we understand that we're a sinner and and lost and the fear of God's judgement. And Gods mercy through Jesus christ delivers us from that judgement, and replaces fear with a Grace filled trust and confordence in God's promises that the holy Spirit will write on our hearts those things that pleases God .This is the trust and confordence that God by the Holy Spirit for his promises to put in our hearts his will ,and leads us in paths of righteousness for his names sake. A child of God is not under the law, but under God's Grace knowing that the Holy Spirit teaches ur heart all things Amen .as Paul says walk in Liberty knowing that God works things out for us .Amen

These questions are great, but perhaps need to be broken into parts or narrowed. I always enjoy your ministry and I am truly thankful for it.

Deuteronomy 4:2 ASV Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.

Who was that too that passage, who was God speaking to

[@ehudsdagger5619]

The problem with appealing to 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 with respect to tithing is that those texts aren't referring to tithing per se, but giving to a specific need. In other words, 2 Corinthians doesn't seem to be addressing the tithe as a tithe, but more addresses something extra and above.

Any gospel that is discordant to the law of God Yehovah the Lawgiver is not of God Yehovah but of serpent the tempter the inventor of Antillaw Gospel.

When you say positive law, do you mean the applied civil laws under the covenant of Moses? Or implications of moral law applied in certain areas? I’m not sure I have ever heard of positive law in that context.

[@AslanRising]

Does God will (decree) sin? Does God ordain government? If the answer to both of these are yes, then the question of the Law of God and the state would seem to me to be one of necessity. That is to say, God cannot decree that which He ordained. So the standard which the state is to adhere to cannot contradict the moral law of God, which includes bothe tables. This does not mean the punishment need be that same as under Moses, but it does mean it is the standard.

[@jeremynethercutt206]

God knows everything exhaustively. The covenant of redemption itself was because God knew we would fall in. Adam knew exactly what would happen and yet by his mercy through his righteous love sends the eternal son of God by means of grace and out of love, the son fulfills the justice of Almighty God. To know or decree such --I’m not quite sure if you could say they are the same thing because we are not forced. We act freely to our own desire that doesn’t mean God doesn’t know what we’re going to do nor give us a way out of it with himself, I believe he only has one wheel there’s not possibilities. I believe that is just playing in a playground of intellectual secularism nice see with himself he doesn’t have command and a will for us to follow what he actually brings to pass, but as to what he ordain, I would say involves sin absolutely but not with himself, it's us, but because of the evil depraved nature of man and our being part of creation order I am not qualified by any means to answer this question, but I believe it is a good conversation to dig within

[@AKhardcore1]

You should invite a theonomist to discuss it so you can have a better discussion on the subject. The CrossPolitic guys, Durbin, Wilson, etc would do

[@ehudsdagger5619]

Ah, vintage Baptist Longshore, I see...
