Re: In other words
I'm not an antinomian Beej, and believe me, I know what it means. I do believe in God's holy, just and perfect law. I just don't believe we can keep his holy, just and perfect law on our own, and never could, but that by trusting and abiding in Him, He will live through us, and complete the work of His law in us. So, I believe that as christians, we should see "fruit" of God's perfect law working in our lives, or we need to examine whether we are truly His or not.
And when I say I believe in God's holy, just and perfect law, I believe this goes way beyond the ten commandments as Jesus explained in the sermon on the mount. The sermon on the mount was much more convicting than even the ten commandments were, wouldn't you say?
And I never complained about the sabbath law. That is not a correct statement. I am not against the sabbath law at all. In fact, I have said it's a very important law, so important, that God made it first an important physical day for the Israelites to worship Him and look forward to the coming of Christ, and then once Christ died, he made it an everyday reality in Christ for all believers. If we aren't resting in the works of Christ everyday, and depending in our own instead, we are breaking the sabbath. Requiring people to keep the physical sabbath day the way the Israelites did, now that Christ has died, and he is our rest everyday, is putting a burden on people that Paul warned not to do.
My old cult church was a spin off of Seventh Day Adventist. The leader of the church got a lot of his ideas from reading Seventh day Adventist literature and then added a bunch and changed a bunch. For example, he added the biblical holy days on, and so we kept all those too. We always said ya'll weren't the true church cause you neglected the Holy days. Is that true, you don't keep the biblical holy days? If not, why?
