Sorry, I still don't understand Mathew 5:17. We are saved by Grace and not by works, I get that, but if no letter of the law has passed away, then why shouldn't we follow the Old Testament laws? Shouldn't we obey them just to please God? Some of them are already listed in the New Testament, like staying away from blood etc, so why aren't people following all of them?
I always thoroughly enjoy these. However, today Skip didn't go into what is happening in the modern church for the past 30 years or so. I wish he had. There are a multitude of divorced Christian couples who have then remarried. Mixed families in church's are quite common nowadays. I wish he would have gone into the issue of remarrying in Christian couples in light of the scripture passage he read at the end of this talk. I do have to say that as he answered that last question he seemed a bit nervous and jittery. I felt bad for him. And, he really didn't answer the question either. Not really.
I see that he didn’t deal with remarriage at any serious level lol. I see this type of move WAYYY too often by pastors. Even the great RC Sproul “ conveniently” overlooked it in his sermon treatment of the same verse. What’s not clear on his position on remarriage is when a husband divorces his wife (or vice versa) for any issue that is not based upon infidelity. The question is does she have the right to remarry then or is she bound by her vows to a lifetime of singleness (essentially nunnery)? He references “something” very slightly when he says that Christ argues that you’re going to make adulterers everywhere, but he doesn’t deal with it in great detail in any robust way. My assumption is that he didn’t want to offend many in his congregation that are in fact in this very type of sinful relationship currently. This is actually a VERY IMPORTANT question however, and the pastor’s position should be absolutely clear. Ex. Can a woman who is married to a man (who is a professing Christian) at the age of 22 remarry at the age of 27 if her husband divorces her for let’s say irreconcilable differences (that she doesn’t agree with at all and begged him to stay) or would this be considered perpetual adultery (non ceasing and willful sin everyday that she remains remarried to her second husband) because in the eyes of God, they’re not truly divorced? In other words, what God put together let no man or civil magistrate take apart. This issue the real question and it was unfortunately completely avoided
Hello Katiana thank you for watching our RUclips videos! Pastor Skip will occasionally use other Bible translations but the one he uses most often is the New King James Version (NKJV). Thank you for watching! - Miguel R. Calvary Online Coordinator
He’s always a generous n brilliant teacher, but this one is so rich it requires 2 listens. Amazingly packed!

He should really tell people that when Jesus said law the word he used was Torah
