Epi..it has been a while....a little surprised at your OP....let me comment on just your comment here....Another foundational dialectic...or "polarity" concerns the law.
Rom. 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Compare with...
Rom. 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
So then grace establishes the law.
Romans Chapter 3 discusses the grace of YHWH to individuals that then brought the gift of faith to righteousness, under the Law.
Both the OT and NT saints were righteous and justified because first, the same grace of YHWH although for different purposes and effects, provided the same type of faith, to believe in Christ (I Peter 1:11 – in/on the spirit of Christ). The OT group looked forward in faith to the Day, and the latter to the past and the present, to his words, mission, joy, hope and love of Christ.
So Romans 3:31 says we keep the law and uphold it is made more meaningful as part of YHWH’s previous plan of restoration, because of the faith of those that looked forward to Christ’s Day by the Law – not that we practice it anymore.
It gave those rituals of animal sacrifice and prayers of incense under the Law, meaning, by one’s faith in the Promise.
Now Romans 6: 14 says we are not under the law as NT saints because the Law never took away the sins. It was an imperfect sacrificial sin cleansing system. Christ became the perfect sacrifice for sin and finally cleansed us from it.
We (NT saints) are now under the grace of YHWH that provided our Savior and his own perfect sacrifice for our restoration; without the Law.
So now, sin is not our master, as it would have been if still under the Law.
There is no dialectic of scripture truth concerning the Law if one takes the time to read and analysis the context of each passage, which are different and cannot be combined to form a universal truth of ones choosing that is miles apart from the truth.
Both are meaningful as each have different purposes and truth in them.
Summary: One grace of YHWH given for two purposes for the OT and NT. One faith given to bolster the significance of the Law and to believe in Christ. This same faith was given to the circumcised as well as the uncircumcised.
Not under the Law because it is not compatible with permanent sin cleansing.
And your OP on the dialectic thesis and antithesis on scripture truth is new to me. You have added a new twist to the Hegel/Marx philosophy it seems. So when the 1st verse conflicts with the 2nd presented verse you offer a 3rd verse of truth as the synthesis I gather, as you have stated. And you are dead wrong I’m afraid.
As I’ve shown, there is no conflict between these two verses. Are you trying to make a conflict in these verses or are you not seeing it?
I just found this OP and thread of yours and I thought I should chime in…
It’s been many months since I last read your comments at length. Or anyone else’s comments for that matter.
Bless you
