New Covenant Law
(Copyright 08-24-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) Dear Friends and Brethren, It’s commonly taught among professing Christian churches that some or all of the commandments of God, especially the ten commandments given from Mt. Sinai, are not applicable to Christians. Christ, we are told, has “replaced the law,” including the ten commandments, thus they are no longer obligatory for Christians. An example of this general idea is found in how the Jamieson Fausset Brown Bible Commentary interprets the meaning of Colossians 2:14: “The law (including especially the moral law, wherein lay the chief difficulty in obeying) is abrogated to the believer….” “The […]
God’s Law is a Blessing
(Copyright 04-19-2025) by Rod Reynolds (Wentzville, Missouri) The world as a whole is groping in darkness and blindness for a path to happiness, peace, safety and life. In the world many don’t realize they can’t see. They don’t realize they are blind and walking in darkness. They think they are walking in light and that they know the path to a better, fuller, happier life. Yet, they keep falling into pits. They keep stumbling into snares. And the result is a world full of unhappiness, misery, suffering and death. At the same time, they have nothing but contempt and scorn for […]
Not Under the Law
(Copyright 2023) by Darwin Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) Just what did the apostle Paul mean when he said, “for you are not under the law”? Ro 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14 starts with “Sin shall not have dominion over you”. Why, because we are “under grace”. How does sin have dominion over a person? Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Without grace death is certain, therefore sin would have […]
A Snapshot of Church History and Mosaic Law
(Copyright) by Avram Yehoshua (Flagstaff, Arizona) Passover (Lev. 23:4-8f.; Mt. 26:26f.) and the 7th day Sabbath (Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Lk. 4:16) aren’t observed by most Christians today, but in the days of the Apostles they were (Acts 15:21; 21:20-24; 1st Cor. 5:6-8), which reveals that they kept Mosaic Law. The Church teaches that the Law was nullified at the death of Jesus, but Church History records that for the first 90 years after the resurrection, all Christians kept Passover and the 7th day Sabbath, and walked out their faith in Christ through all the rules of Moses that applied […]
Unsettled Law
(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Unsettled Law: President Trump, has – SURRENDERED – to the Devils’ children, with the words “Same sex marriage is settled law.” That is disgraceful, and the same as saying: the judgment of five judges, overrules the judgment of God. President Trump has, with that statement, placed himself and all Americans, bowing at the Devils feet. And, he has effectively, agreed with Satan, to criminalize God’s law in America. What God condemns, according to President Trump, must be honored; because of five bigoted and perverted judges. Saying ‘same sex marriage is settled law’ is disarming […]
Freedom Under Law
(Copyright) by James McBride (United Kingdom) A walk in the park. A trip to the shopping mall, A cheery smile from a friend. A hug. All valued—but for how much longer? Or is this our future: Cameras on lamp-posts, mounted on trees, in shops, in every open public space. Microphones (and cameras?) in your smart TV, in Alexa or Siri, in your fridge. Your I-phone and computer constantly monitored officially or by big business. Your finances at risk via hackers or being plundered by Inland Revenue. And all linked to an array of screens in a government or Council or […]
Was God’s Law Nailed to the Cross?
(Copyright) by Earl L. Henn (Charlotte, North Carolina) In their struggle to find a New Testament scripture that supports their misconception that God’s law is “done away,” many people point to Colossians 2:14 to “prove” that Christ nailed the law of God to the cross. In fact, this verse becomes a major linchpin in their fallacious argument that Christians are not required to keep God’s “harsh Old Testament law.” Proponents of such a teaching say that the “handwriting of requirements [ordinances, KJV]” refers to the law “that was against us.” They further claim that Christ “took it out of the way” or abolished the […]
Lawmakers Above the Law
by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Government is the problem; imposing laws that only apply to others and not themselves. Matthew 23:4 – They put heavy loads on men’s shoulders but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. President Trump needs to rescind the regulations that exempt congress and staff from the effect of Obama Care regulations; that they imposed on others. And he needs to sign another executive order requiring congress to be subject to all laws that apply to all Americans. And, that special health care insurance for them would be against the […]
Is God’s Law Done Away?
(Part 1)(Copyright) by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio) Picture this: a man is in court for grand theft, the judge is ready to pronounce judgment, then a stranger steps forward and pays the fines and agrees to suffer any other penalty due in place of the offender. The judge agrees and the convict is overwhelmed and grateful! He thanks this kind stranger and leaves the courtroom a free man. The man exclaims “I am so happy to be forgiven and can now steal all I want because of what the kind stranger did for me”. Everyone is now thinking of […]
