The doctrine of the Law

Zant Law:

--- Quote from: Jack Koons on July 08, 2013, 03:49:57 pm ---Has anyone considered that the 'law' written on our hearts is the exact same 'law' given to Moses?

When Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that is how they realized their sin. The purpose of the law is to identify sin. Our very conscience is the Law of God written on our hearts. The problem of course is that with 1) false teaching as to what God's Law is or isn't; and 2) the ability of our wicked deceitful hearts to 'excuse' the sin we commit, we have the ability to 'impress' our our will over the law of God.

That is why the same law has been presented to 'all', making is all guilty before God. Whether the law was written on our hearts, or written in stone, or even on paper; it is still the same condemning law.

Yes the law was twisted by Satan for Eve, and Satan tried to twist the law when he tempted Christ. Satan likes to try to use logic at man's level to turn God's word for his own purposes. If two interpretations of the law are given, man will usually choose the one that pleases himself. (2 timothy 4)

Zant, that is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH!

Please consider:

2 Peter 1
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2 Tim 3
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and isprofitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Psalm 138
2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

I was a foster child who was richly blessed by having two parents who were both in their late teens, and early twenties during the "great depression". My father believed that a man's word was his bond. In Psalm 138:2b we read, "for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name".

Think about the significance of those words! Nothing should be treated with more honor and reverence than the Word of God; because it both is, and contains the Law of God.

Yet, Origin, Constantine, Semler, and Metzger, all used interpretation and "intellectual" logic to twist and tear away the Holy Scriptures. The good news is that irregardless of the hundreds of attempts by Satan (and those he influences to do his work), to destroy God's word, it remains.

Remember this post Jack for future reference.

Jack Koons:
Every major 'denomination' has a particular 'platform of interpretation'. This means that "all" scripture is seen through that 'platform of interpretation' for that 'denomination'. This is where I went "independent". I refused to allow any 'platform of interpretation' cloud what the scriptures state. Rather, I let the scriptures interpret themselves. When one takes this approach, one can see things from a different perspective than one sees when being forced to see from only one location.

That is why four people can see the same accident from one of the four corners of an intersection, and yet not see what really happened. That is why Police officers question all four witnesses, make a composite of the four stories, and get a final truth.

The denomination of Jack's interpretation. I like it 8)

I also am non-denominational but I find it useful to listen to other views and hold it up against the Scripture.
