Moral Law Verses Ceremonial Law

So, I did get it right. Why'd you say this then?

Discrediting DHK and attempting to prove he's a Calvinist is clearly one of the things you've been trying to do. Pretty poor show by you to blatantly lie about it.

 

HP, do you ever read books? Do you enjoy learning? Or do you prefer to remain woefully ignorant as you infer on this thread?

 

No, but it seems you have. You have developed your own HP-philosophical brand of theology that is totally different from any other poster on this board. You deny the sin nature of man. You make inferences of others based on the simplest of statements. Your entire philosophy is so obfuscated that no one can understand it.

To give you a straight answer, however, I have learned my theology from the Bible, and I teach it to my students. You don't know what it is because you only infer from simple statements that I make.

 

The fact that some who claim to be Arminian - happen to unwittingly accept a few key errors that only fit the Calvinist model - is not a claim that those Arminians go around admitting to that flaw or go around claiming "I am Calvinist".

For example - OSAS only works in extreme 4-point or 5-point Calvinist models. And yet - there are Arminians who will choose to go down that road as if it was consistent with the Arminian position.


in Christ,

Bob

 

As Already noted previously - even D.L Moody understood the continued and binding nature of the Ten Commandments for the NT Saints.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

DWIGHT L. MOODY
The Ten Commandments:

Exodus 20:2-17


BINDING TODAY
Some people seem to think we have got beyond the commandments. What did Christ say?
"Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till Heaven and Earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:17-18)
The commandments of God given to Moses in the Mount at Horeb are as binding today as ever they have been since the time they were proclaimed in the hearing of the people. The Jews said the law was not given in Palestine (which belonged to Israel), but in the wilderness, because the law was for all nations.

Jesus never condemned the law and the prophets, but He did condemn those who did not obey them. Because He gave new commandments, it does not follow that He abolished the old. Christ's explanation of them made them all the more searching. In His Sermon on the Mount, He carried the principles of the commandments beyond the mere letter. He unfolded them and showed that they embraced more, that they are positive as well as prohibitive. The Old Testament closes with these words:
"Remember ye the Law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the Statutes and Judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the Earth with a curse." (Malachi 4:4-6)
Does that look as if the law of Moses was becoming obsolete?

The conviction deepens in me with the years that the old truths of the Bible must be stated and restated in the plainest possible language. I do not remember ever to have heard a sermon preached on the commandments. I have an index of two thousand five hundred sermons preached by Spurgeon, and not one of them selects its text from the first seventeen verses of Exodus 20. The people must be made to understand that the Ten Commandments are still binding, and that there is a penalty attached to their violation. We do not want a gospel of mere sentiment. The Sermon on the Mount did not blot out the Ten Commandments.

 

This proves nothing. Why do you keep harping on it?

 

As I stated HP, I have learned my theology from the Bible. I am not opposed to reading other books.
Let me ask the same question that I asked previously. Perhaps you didn't understand it:

Perhaps you'd care to answer my question from post #121, HP?

 

I have given you definitions in proper dictionaries. What more do you want?
Do you really want a first grader's primary dictionary? Are you that elementary? Every field has its own dictionary.

I studied Biology. Biology has its own dictionary.
Were you aware that:

Sheehan's Syndrome was postpartum hypopituitarism caused by ischemic necrosis of the pituitary.

I didn't think so.
I don't think all the words are found in your basic Webster's dictionary either.

 

After four times, you would think you would have it by now. Go back a few pages; it won't hurt you.

 

Such a fascination with Calvin. It's funny how if you are not a actual Calvinist then you could be a 3 point Calvinist, or a 4 point Calvinist. Calvinist, Calvinist, Calvinist. What's up with this obsession?

Have you ever heard anyone speaking of a 3 point Arminian? How about a 4 point Baptist or a 5 point Catholic?

Bob and HP really have a disdain for Calvin. Yet even though I would not agree with Calvin's freewill denial I would judge that Calvin had more theology correct than the SDA or HP when it comes to the gospel of Jesus Christ as it relates to the law. At least Calvin did not preach that keeping the commandments was part of justifying a person for salvation. This alone places Calvin above HP and Bob in understanding the teachings of the bible.

casuistic
Case law, law applied to specific cases, most commonly in the form “If . . . , then . . .” where a crime is mentioned, then its punishment (e.g., Deut 22:23-29). See, in contrast, the discussion of apodictic law.
