New Covenant Patriarchy and Jesus Christ
Who is Jesus? What are his values? What is his standard of right and wrong?If you say you love Jesus but insist on defining him outside of Scripture, then you love a figment of your imaginaton, and not the God with whom we have to do. Jesus said of Himself, "I AM the Way the Truth and the Light." He thus declared Himself to be the 'Walking Torah of God.'
Do you feel latent hostility to the Laws of God, the books of the Law and the Prophets of the Bible? Do you have a hard time relating to the delight in God's law the writer of Psalm 119 speaks about? Most Chistians do. Yes, you are in fact in company with a great deal of Christianity today. But you are out of sync with Jesus.
The Bible, in its entirety, is the character of Christ writ large. What the Bible defines as right and wrong is what Jesus thinks is right and wrong.
If you are a dispensationalist then you are guilty of idolatry since you dispense with major portions of God's word as irrelevant to you. This makes it possible for you to pour man-made meaning into Christ instead of letting him define you. A dispensationalist thus worships a god made in his own image.
So stop dispensing with the Torah of God! Confess you have dispensed with His LawWord and then turn from your wicked way to the way of God. Study it and learn it every day.
Like polygyny without God's Law is tyranny in the family, so is society without God's Law, and churches, and religion, and the state, and so are all the other relationships in life tyrannical without God's Law. Christ came to reconcile us to himself as defined by His law. Forsake man-made law, which is Phariseism, and turn to the real Jesus. True freedom and liberty await, in marriage, political life, church, and community.
