It's a good thing to remember the words of Jesus Himself regarding God's Law for those who believe themselves to be above it. "Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."

John, When you read about the law in the NT please realize it was written by Jews who meant the OT laws of God.  Torah in Hebrew was written as Law in Greek. Law = Torah.  We fool ourselves when we pretend they are not one and the same. Izzy

Lets see now, if I'm understanding this John rejects Torah. So if this is true John, What then is sin?  From my perspective, if we reject Torah then we quite naturally reject God's law and in rejecting God's Law we therefore have to reject ALL notions of sin.  Without Torah, how are we to know what sin is? Is it a sin according to Billy Sunday or is it a sin according to Anton Le Vey (the satanist)?  Either way this is manmade definition of sin, NOT GOD"S definition of sin!  Now I know I'm far from perfect, but I'll stick with God's Torah and take my spanking like a man.

I am a New Covenant Christian. Regarding the Law,  I understand it's usefulness as expressed in Rom 3-7 and the Galatian letter (among other scripture)  "Torah" is not a word glorified in any of the Christian assemblies I attend.   I have never had any trouble with the definition of sin  -- New Testament scripture presents ample definition.   It is the law or the spirit.   I have no desire to be placed under law  --  kinda like Paul. 

John
