Apparently The world was more attractive to him than GodBut his own life with it's weaknesses....was still too attractive to allow God to crucify for him.

For me I’d like to substitute the word law with model and view it as He says I give you a new model.

Couldn’t agree more.Law is according to power. God gives us the power of a new life. Not just a model we can't hope to emulate. With God there is no ideals or ideology. God just does things.....impossible things. We need to go to God for HIS kind of fix.
There’s no law against what you’ve statedSo then we are saved because of law....God's law. The law of faith in God. The same God that gives us an impossible standard for our level of strength...empowers us to fulfill that law by a new and living way in Christ that DOES the impossible. Such is the glory of the gospel.

The more we see of his selflessness,the more attractive that becomes.Amen! But there is a law...the law of faith...and of life in the Spirit... that keeps us in the presence of God.
Imagine that gravity is something bad...that keeps us from flying. But it is also something good....it keeps us from flying around aimlessly. So then law keeps us grounded. The law of God is to keep us grounded....in HIM.
Kinda like a 7-up with no up?If we try to rid ourselves of the law because of grace it would be like asking for a glass of water but without the glass. Since we ourselves are the container...then we would be eliminating ourselves from the equation.
Which reminds me of a friend of mine who speaks only a little English. He was in Ontario (an Anglo province) and asked for a 7-up no glace (ice)... The guy stood there for awhile since he thought he heard no "glass"...until a co-worker who spoke some French said...he means "no ice."
In French "ice" is "glace"...
Anyway...if we eliminate the law we just become lawless and have no place for God's grace.
Who understands this passage?....
Gal. 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
Through what law?
(Paul is quite confusing with all his references to law without being specific about what he's talking about)
And what does this have to do with....the soul that sins...it shall die. ???
Very searching passage; I do love Isaiah.Isaiah 53:6 KJV
[6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Tecarta Bible
1 Peter 2:25 KJV
[25] For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Tecarta Bible
Well then I’ll up the ante. I love Isaiah and you Farouk!Very searching passage; I do love Isaiah.
If anyone says it means "the age of works-based salvation is now replaced with the age of grace-based salvation", THEY ARE DECEIVED BY A DOCTRINE OF DEVILS -- DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. From Adam to the last redeemed one, all will get to heaven by grace through faith in Christ - the OT folks by faith in the One to come and NT folks by faith in the One Who came.Who understands this passage?....

Now all that needs to be done is encourage everyone that they need to obey that law. And explain how.
