Hello
@justbyfaith,
I did not say that Galatians was written to the Jew, however there are things within it that are directed to the Jews in their assembly specifically.
The content of this post, as with the others you have addressed to me, must be brought to the word of God and judged against that plumb-line. Take time to read and consider carefully what is actually written. I say this for I know that only the word of God will convince you.
Praise God!
So I shall say goodbye to you in regard to this subject, with love in the Lord, for I know that nothing I may say will convince you.
Thank you
In Christ Jesus
our risen and glorified
Saviour, Lord and Head.
Chris
And I am sorry that nothing that I say will convince you of the truth of the matter.
I can only pray the Holy Spirit that He will show you clearly what you are not seeing in these things.
That the plumb line by which we will be judged is the law of God (as well as the words of our Lord) is evident to me; and that Gentiles as well as Jews will be judged is also evident to me.
It should be clear that all the world will be held guilty before God by the law of God; which will show them that they are sinners since by the law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) and sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).
If Gentiles are not under the law then they are not counted as sinners by the law; for where there is no law, there is no transgression (Romans 4:15); and sin is not imputed where there is no law (Romans 5:13).
But that Gentile as well as Jew is counted as a sinner is evident from holy scripture.
The law shows the Gentile as well as the Jew that he is a sinner (Romans 3:20, 1 John 3:4).
If the Gentile were not under the law, then the Gentiles would have no knowledge of sin; for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But I think you know that it is the will of the Lord that Gentiles as well as Jews might have the knowledge of sin.
Therefore the law applies to the Gentiles as a standard that shows them that they are sinners in need of a Saviour.
Perhaps in the old days, when Christianity was not preached to everyone, and Gentiles had no knowledge of the law, what you say may have been true; but today we have Bibles that contain the Old as well as the New Testaments; and therefore the law gives to Gentiles as well as Jews the knowledge of the fact that they are sinners in need of a Saviour.
And the law can be applied to Gentiles to show them that they are sinners in need of a Saviour.
Just look at the ministry of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron (The Way of the Master).
