[TruthTalk] Keeping the Commandments
DAVEH: What part of the Law God gave Moses do you think was unkeepable, Terry? Terry Clifton wrote: When God gave Moses the law, He knew that it could not be kept. It was an impossible goal. Something to strive for, but never attainable. I see the command to be perfect in the same light. We strive to be perfect. Some come closer than others, but we all come short. It is an impossible goal. God knows that. It is to show us our shortcomings, our need for a Savior, who was perfect and took our place.

Dave wrote: DAVEH: Ohhh Terry.what do you want me to doopen the closet door so you can see all the skeletons I keep in there? :-) However, I am curious as to your explanation. Do you really believe the Lord does not expect you to keep the commandments? === If by commandments you mean the six hundred plus laws found in Leviticus, then my answer is no. Those commandments were for the Children of Israel (Lev.22:34). They were never given to me or any other Gentile that was not a Jewish prosylite. I try to follow the instructions given by my Lord Jesus. There are two, and they cover all the moral law, to a greater extent than the Mosaic law ever did. The first is love God with all your heart, all your mind, everything you've got.. The second is love your neighbor as yourself. If I do that, all the Jewish commandments pertaining to moral living will be exceeded. I will not only not commit adultery with my neighbors wife; I won't even think about commiting adultery with my neighbor's wife. By keeping the same command, I will not steal fron him or lie about him or lust after his possessions. If he needs help I will help him as well as I can, just as I would hope that he would do for me, but even if he never offers to help me, no matter how great my need, I am still to love him and help where I can. I am to give, expecting nothing in return. Seems simple enough, huh, yet every Christian that I have ever met has broken both of those commands. If I serve self instead of serving the Lord, even once, I have broken the first command, and if I don't go the extra mile, turn the other cheek, and give the shirt off my back, I have broken the second. It is a good thing to have a Savior. Terry

Re: [TruthTalk] Keeping the Commandments
He was not under grace and knew very little of it. His God was not personal -- "fatherhood" was not the emphasis. Adoptive-sonship (we all do believe in that, don't we??) was unknown to him. His judgements -- the judgments of God were physical ones. Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden -- not sent to hell. That sort of thing.

Re: [TruthTalk] Keeping the Commandments
JD are you saying that Solomon didn't understand what he was writing? He apparently understood when he asked God for wisdom rather than riches and God was pleased with his choice.

Re: [TruthTalk] Keeping the Commandments
The big difference Debbie is that Solomon's writings are scripture - inspired by God's Spirit and included in the Hebrew scriptures. The so called church fathers were living and writing during a very tumultous time in history and their writings are not included.

Yes, I understand the difference between "inspiration" and "revelation" however I don't believe this was the problem with Solomon. Neither do I . I was just answering your question about Soloman. The law was not lost in his generation and he had access to the direction given for kings in Deuteronomy 17:14-20. He may have had his own personal "priest, " who knows I don't know if he had his own personal copy as instructed but we can see by his life that he did everything opposite to what was instructed - Solomon multiplied horses, silver and gold, and women. He did it all and I don't believe that with all that wisdom he didn't know what he was doing. He was an early disciple of Frank Sinatra. jt I like it could not agree more. There is an innateness, I believe, that such passages as Phil 2:12,13 appeal to. Frank had something available that perhaps Solomon did not. Isn't it Paul who says that we are "without excuse?""

From: Judy Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] JD are you saying that Solomon didn't understand what he was writing? He apparently understood when he asked God for wisdom rather than riches and God was pleased with his choice. To me it seems he was tripped by the same lust that got hold of his father; David repented but Solomon didn't know when to quit and kept on with it. jt On Sun, 03 Jul 2005 15:58:29 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: So what, may I ask? !!

Re: [TruthTalk] Keeping the Commandments
How is one trained in formal logic so very illogical? Looking forward to another time is not the same as having known Jesus face to face -- a conclusion without any exegetical merit. Moses and Genesis? see a signature somewhere? The reason why we accept this conclusion is because of Church history and oral tradition. Probably, maybe, could be, might be true. It is not an issue but I have presented the best that can be said for this authorship.

What appears to you to be illogical is not, but why would it matter to you when you believe that God and the grace of God is illogical? John wrote: > Looking forward to another time is not the same > as having known Jesus face to face -- > a conclusion without any exegetical merit. I never said it was the same. Moses knew Jesus, face to face; that is, he knew the Logos. He did not just look forward to him. In Exodus 24 we can read how Jesus and Moses and more than 70 others dined together.

It is not an issue but I have > presented the best that can be said for this authorship. The best evidence we have for the authorship of Moses is the testimony of Jesus Christ. Don't let the scholars (the scribes of our day) prevent you from recognizing this simple truth. Higher criticism likes to speculate on various authors, but Jesus settles the question for those of us with faith in him. By the way, you talked in a previous post about faith being emotional. I consider all faith based in emotion to be a false faith known as presumption. Faith is based upon knowledge, not emotion. See Romans 10. Faith must have some components of logic and understanding that touch the spirit. The emotional decision making thing has nothing to do with faith unless you are talking about when one is touching knowledge that comes from the spirit rather than through the mind.

Moses knew Jesus, face to face; that is, he knew the Logos. He did not just look forward to him.

He had no concept of the "Word" as did the Apostle John.

Let's go with a reference that tells us Moses wrote Genesis, (and Exodus and Leviticusand and .) By the way, you talked in a previous post about faith being emotional.
