John writes:
I am guessing that you believe that I
am not studied in scripture or you would not think that I am giving an
interpretation that conflicts with scripture. I noticed that you did not
give any references but, oh well.
jt: I didn't post references but they
are there. Understanding the fall of man and why God instituted the
Mosaic Law to begin with is a good start and from there to New Creation
realities. What being born again means and the outworking in a person's
life ie walking after the Spirit rather than fulfilling the lusts of the
flesh.
As far as "another way?"
This Gentile has not HEARD the Word of the New
Law.
jt: What New Law? There is no
"new Law" What is new is the Covenant or Testament. It was with
Moses and included the ritual or Levitical Law.
It is now through Christ and through
Him we are to walk after the Spirit and fulfill the "royal law" - Same
law. Love fulfills it.
So, of course, repentance and
confession and conviction are out but is he necessarily lost?
jt: Yes. There are not two
gospels. One for this felow (and 3rd world countries) and another for
those of us who live in the USA.
Not according to Paul in v
15-16. And how is he saved -- through Jesus
Christ. So NOTHING IS DIFFERENT except that he is not a hearer, only
a doer. Why you reject this biblical teaching is beyond
me.
jt: Yours is not a biblical teaching
John. To teach that someone can be saved through Christ apart from
conviction, confession, and repentance is to walk in massive denial...
(even to the point of negating the ministry of John the Baptist who came to
"prepare the way of the Lord" exhorting people to repent and telling them that
if they did not the axe would be laid to the root of the tree (them).
Noone gets to carry all their carnal mess into Christ. Not even the gentile
in V.15-16.and to go on and claim that this man fulfilled God's
Law while still in his sin even more preposterous.
