Hey tomas and carol ya'all are killin me here!
Sorry for the double team I just couldn’t resist
Job was saved the same way you are saved. I am sure we would agree on that
I’m not talking about salvation I’m talking about sanctification. How was he sanctified?
Folks the moral law of God hasn't gone anywhere. The moral Law of God isn't something that should be thrown away. The Heart change we have been granted and the LAW yes folks the LAW has been written upon our hearts. Come now tomas ... does the Holy Spirit indwell us to discount or no longer strive to live the law?
I agree, but where in scripture do you find that the “moral law” is equivalent to the Ten Commandments? I think that’s what this whole fuss is about. I believe the ten commandments are part of the covenant that was given to Moses the same way that the dietary laws were. If you can find me one scripture that says that they were part of another higher set of laws called “moral” that would not pass away I would be grateful to you. It seems to me that BK also has a hard time with this it seems he believes that laws you would call civil he would call moral and vice versa.
What can it possibly mean to be "conformed to the likeness of Christ" when Christ is in fact PERFECT righteousness.
Christian ethics have a subject, goal and motivation ... what are yours?
Phil 3:7However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. 3:8Yes most assuredly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ 3:9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 3:10that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death; 3:11if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 3:12Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
3:13Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, 3:14I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 3:15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you. 3:16Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind. 3:17Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example. 3:18For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ, 3:19whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things. 3:20For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 3:21who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
4:1Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
what exactly is the "law of Christ" that supercedes the law of moses?
You find it all through the New Testament but especially in the teachings of Jesus.
Christ expanded the Law of Moses he didn't REWRITE IT.
Sorry but well have to agree to disagree here.
Peace
