Is the Law God gave through Moses still in effect today???

[Sparkey]

Departing the thread is spiritually and symbolically the same as our willingness to die for each other. I too shall respect our combined choices and let this thread die rather than have it continually spiral and turn against us, the body of Christ. I do it with thanks. Thanks to our Lord for each here (yes, Wavy too -- you were right about my misuse of the word "transliteration").

Our departing could be called a "Wave Offering" before the Lord!

[Benoni]

Wherefore the law was our school-master to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." (Galatians 3:21-24).

A schoolmaster, (the Greek text gives, a child conductor), was one who held the child in restraint as they conducted the child from home to the school, making sure that there was no mischief along the way, and that the child arrived at the school. Then the child was given over to the care of the teacher, and the duty of the child conductor was ended. The child conductor did not stand in the back of the class room and continue to exercise control and authority over the child, for now the Teacher was in control, and there was to be no outside interference. So also, once we have been brought to Christ, and His anointing abides within us, we are to be led by the Spirit.

I like this imagery, Benoni, thanks for sharing it! It really brings home the truth of the purpose of the Law.

Welcome to the forum btw. 'Tis a brave soul who jumps right into the thick of one of the hottest topics in Apologetics and Theology!

Yes...it was very condescending.

My apologies FOC...I'm sorry I lost my temper.

It was either that or a term of endearment!

Well thank you. So often God hides His deep and awesome mysteries right in front of our eyes, that is why His Word declares we should always seek, ask and knock.
