this bunch is like Martha! the Lord is ready to raise the dead with the Power of His Word and set the captives free! but they worry that some little smell might hit there holy noses! what are you afraid of ? somebody else might sin? the strength of sin is the law!
by the way! show me your holiness! i can point strait to mine!
i confuse nothing! for the law of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death!brother dave,
You confuse the law of God and the mosaic law.
Heb 7:16 (Christ) Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
What changes in the New Covenant is the means to fulfill the same law. Now we can by grace truly fulfill the law, yet not us, but Christ in us.
The carnal commandment is the form under which the old covenant was under. Robes of linen and gold do not make one holy. But true holiness does indeed exist, in the person of Christ Jesus. It is not an imaginary life that is given us, and Christianity is not blind men claiming to see, but men truly given sight and robes by God himself.
Instead men have followed after their own lusts and chosen to claim robes of righteousness for themselves all the while still living by the flesh! Men have twisted the word to their own destruction, so that they might on the one hand claim to be holy and righteous, pleasing to God, and yet live like the rest of the world.
The new man is made in true holiness... If we walk in Christ, we are as He is, by his power.
But men prefer to go after their own imaginations, which allows them to remain carnal all the while claiming Christ, rather than truly seeking God that he might conform them to his Son.
You are too blind to see past anything a person claims... You are already in a position of unbelief and thus can only take what men say as claims, but can accept nothing out of your own experience as being a reality. Your unbelief and lack of childlikeness makes it impossible for you to believe there is any experience beyond your own.... Thus anything beyond this is already written of as imaginations, which is ironic since your own christianity is based on imaginations; things that have no bearing in your time on this earth.
You will always resist the truth because you have already decided it is impossible, comparing all things to yourself. This is pride, but you are blind to this also.
And so as long as you cling to this pride you will not see, for God gives grace to the humble. We can only see when we humble ourselves and seek God on the matter that is before us. How many are willing to do this when presented with an experience that is deeper than their own?
by the way! show me your holiness! i can point strait to mine!
