David, along that same line of thought, it it biblically justified for a Christian today to murder, or commit adultery? Why not?
Chris, Law is law, when was the last you broke the speed limit?
We know what is wrong, but we still do it....
David,
You are severely missing the point.
All of us agree that we still struggle with sin. THAT is not the issue.
Rather, the issue is this: What is righteous, and what is sinful?
If you are elect, and murder someone, then you will still be forgiven and go to Heaven.
But murder is still SIN. Therefore you are commanded by God to NOT murder.
If you are elect, and commit adultery, then you will still be forgiven and go to Heaven.
But adultery is still SIN. Therefore you are commanded by God to NOT commit adultery.
If you are elect, and break the Sabbath, then you will still be forgiven and go to Heaven.
But Sabbath-breaking is still SIN. Therefore you are commanded by God to NOT break the Sabbath.
I spent time replying to this and it was denied me
Maybe later..
I have to go out and check some lambs.
David
