Mis-reading the law has ruined my life. I was taught a standard of law keeping that has shipwrecked my thinking. Praise God I heard this before its too late.
Noah had grace and Adam knew the Law...when translated properly the word Law meant INSTRUCTIONS. Even Abraham followed the Instructions: Genesis 26:4-5...Grace simply means GOD denying his word so that we might live...You will do well to study the ancient legal world from whence the Bible is written...Paul was referring to The Instructions that Jesus or Yeshua represented perfectly...He was renewing a Government mandate or Covenant which we are all under when accepting the rulership of GOD...Obey my laws, my statutes and INSTRUCTION. Psalm 119 (GOD did not change his desire to show us what was best www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20119&version=NIV
I would ask John Walton that question...I found his email address here www.wheaton.edu/academics/faculty/john-walton/ Just checked, the email address is no longer under his name? We dont have his presentation Stuart
Allegory kicked your as. Nothing new under the sun. Maybe you can wake up Phil 2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
The ancient world is about covenant law Not everyone who broke the covenant laws was put to death In the same way that those who get speeding tickets are not stoned to death A point is being address about covenant law The adulteress woman was not put to death
@@jeffmorton9073 I understand that Mr. Walton describes this as more so for instructions and wisdom according to the courts(Sanhedrin), but idk, it seems to me the 613 commandments given in the Torah were prescriptive rather than descriptive. In other words, their were penalties to each commandment and would have to be annalyzed case by case brought in court. That's prescriptive. "you should do this if so and so does this" it's a law that holds order together...although on the other hand yes you are right, not all cases were deserving capital punishment, which makes one wonder, what is the Torah about.
@@vegetasapologetics3214 the entirety of the Torah, for me is about behavior! The constitution reiterated in (Devarim) prior to entering the land emphasizes this. Walton, having spoken with him in length, builds upon this proposition with regard to teaching a Christian audience
I love Walton. Can't get enough of him.
Yes...what a blessing!

Thank you for posting this Jeff.
I was unaware of several comments here....
John, you need to make a translation of the hebrew Bible so your ideas can be understood in biblical context.
I beseech ye brethren by the mercies of God, someone please tell me where to find the rest of this discussion!

Oh thank you so much! Praise God for your life!
Does he have any content on why Paul speaks about us being under grace and now law then?

So, a person who commits adultery doesn't have to be stoned?/ I'm alittle confused... Help please
The ancient world is about covenant law
Not everyone who broke the covenant laws was put to death
In the same way that those who get speeding tickets are not stoned to death
A point is being address about covenant law
The adulteress woman was not put to death
