In this episode I chose to go up against Paul directly and correct his misunderstanding about Mosaic Law. I'm kidding of course. Rachel and I spend a lot of time discussing the abuse of "You are not under law but under grace," pointing out that Paul spends Romans 6:15-23 spelling out exactly what he means by the statement. We discuss how the abuse of that expression is exactly what Paul intended to address when he said "Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace?" We discuss how the law legislates sin and its consequences but has nothing to say to someone who's living a righteous life (which can only occur through the gracious gift of the Holy Spirit). After spending a lot of time in Romans, we go on to talk about how the Apostles and authors of the New Testament assume the continuing authority of Mosaic Law unless otherwise abrogated in Christ. We end by discussing how the General Equity of biblical law applies to the different spheres of government (self government, family government, church government, and civil government) and give examples of what the law has to say to each area. The beginning and the conclusion of the matter is incredibly simple: Christians are expected to obey God. We hope this challenges you to think a little more clearly on this issue.
