Bro... the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. It encumpasses the Godhead. The Kingdom of heaven is within you and is also a place.

Do you not believe that there is a distinction between the Father, the Son, and the Ruach Ha'Kodesh?

Not just the law was nailed to the cross, but so were we...

Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code. (Rom 7:4-6)

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. (Gal 2:19-21)

Galatians 6:14 (KJV) But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

Colossians 2:14 (CLV)

erasing the handwriting of the decrees against us, which was hostile to us, and has taken it away out of the midst, nailing it to the cross,

1. of public decrees (as τῆς πόλεως, Plato, legg. 1, p. 644 d.; of the Roman Senate (Polybius 6, 13, 2); Herodian, 7, 10, 8 (5, Bekker edition)): of rulers, Luke 2:1; Acts 17:7; Hebrews 11:23 Lachmann (Theod. in Daniel 2:13; Daniel 3:10; Daniel 4:3; Daniel 6:13, etc. — where the Sept. uses other words).

(On the use of the word in general, see Lightfoot as above; (cf. 'Teaching' etc. 11, 3 [ET]).)


Source: Genesis 1:1 (NASB)

Now why would Paul use the word δόγμα in this verse?

I believe that he meant what he said, and said what he meant.


Anytime Paul is referring to THE LAW of Yahweh he used the phrase ho nomos which is
“The Law” in Greek.

So if THE LAW wasn't nailed to the (stake) pale; what was?


DECREE - Definition from the KJV Dictionary
DECREE, n. L. To judge; to divide.
1. Judicial decision or determination of a litigated cause; as a decree of the court of
chancery. The decision of a court of equity is called a decree; that of a court of law, a
judgment.

This is the gift of YHWH's goodwill. Put into context, Paul is not contradicting Yahshua, who said that the LAW will not pass away before heaven or earth. He's not telling us that we can live like lawless Hellians under grace because the LAW has been demolished. He's telling us that the judgements (under penalty of death) of our past sins are taken away, through Yahshua, by the goodwill of Yahweh.
Congratulations.

You just provided evidence of what I am saying that folks unwittingly use a modern commentary to debunk the KJV.

I would only point out that it is the spirit of the law that we are to be obedient to and that we are no longer bound by the letter of it (Romans 7:6, 2 Corinthians 3:6).


Nice and clearly said...AMEN!!!

Of course, this applies to the doctrine of entire sanctification; so that Galatians 6:13 is not in contradiction to a literal rendering of 1 John 3:9 (kjv).

It is to say that no one keeps the letter; but that sin, in all actuality, is defined by the spirit of the law for those who are in Christ.

It was actually done quite deliberately. I've known for many years that the KJV was built on corrupted manuscripts.

Esteem to YHWH that his word is being restored.
