What Is The Dispensation Of Death? by Ubenedictus(m): 5:00pm On May 29, 2016 |
AMP) [b]“Now if the dispensation of death engraved in letters on stone [the ministration of the Law],[/b]was inaugurated with such glory and splendor that the Israelites were not able to look steadily at the face of Moses because of its brilliance, [a glory] that was to fade and pass away.” My question is, what is the ministry of death in the passage above, what is the law carved on stone? Is that not the 10 commandment? Cc blueagent syncan |

Ubenedictus: The ministration of death is the law. becos the bible says the wages of sin is death.Romans 6:23 and what is sin? sin is the transgression of the law.James2:9-12 When you break God's moral law the consquences is death. the bible says where there is no law there is no Sin.Romans5:13 example in a society were adultery is legal and accepted.if someone commits that offence.what will you charge him on? since it is legal. If you read translated bible version.you see that what was done away with ,was the glory covering moses face.not the law written on stone. 1 Like |

Ubenedictus: Sorry for my late response. i have been too busy lately. You and most christains confuse Law & Grace. Before the coming of Jesus those who sinned against God(which is the transgression of the law Roman 4:3) were punished by death, Bible examples are given below.becos this is the requirement of the law.(wages of sin is death Romans6:23) The following texts clearly show what Paul meant by the term “ministration of death”; they also show that the law he referred to was the Decalogue: “And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death.” (Leviticus 24:16). “Whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.” (Exodus 31:15). “For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.” (Leviticus 20:9). “And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.” (Leviticus 24:17). “The adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” (Leviticus 20:10). In Moses' day Israel was called a “nation” and also “the church in the wilderness” (Numbers 14:12; Acts 7:38). The church and the nation were united under the immediate direction of God; it was a union of church and state. Such a regime is a theocracy. But the time came when Jesus died .for our sins we moved from been subjected to the penalty of the law .which is death to grace. Note. What changed is the dispensation of Justice not the law. (death to grace) the law remains unchanged. We are now reqiured to seek forgiveness through faith in JESUS..and to turn away from sin whenever we sin against God. The law remains valid but its penalty for defaulters was changed. a bible example is given below. One of the sections of Scripture that clearly reveals Jesus’ teaching on law and grace is the one in which an adulteress was dragged before Him to see if He would pronounce the penalty upon her demanded by the law—death by stoning (John 8:1-11). Silent at first, He only wrote something in the dust with His finger. Pressed by the accusers to make a judgment, He told them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first” (verse 7). No one stepped forward. Instead, they slowly dissolved into the crowd within the temple. When all the accusers had left without condemning the woman, Jesus, the only One who truly was sinless, did not condemn her either. “Go and sin no more,” He told her (John 8:11). Because of grace, God’s benevolent kindness, Jesus pardoned the woman from death for something of which she was certainly guilty. Expressed in today’s language, God’s grace was His not giving the woman what she deserved for the way she had behaved. What did Jesus teach about law? This, too, is revealed in the above account. He did not say to the woman that she was free to carry on as before, as if she hadn’t been pardoned. He wanted her to change her way of living—to repent. Essentially, He said, “Now, go Sin No more" Was she to behave by the evolving norms of what society accepts as tolerable behavior? Or was she to behave by what she felt was an acceptable way to live? The answer is no to both of these questions. The word “sin” reveals the answer. Sin means an action or thought contrary to the law of God (1 John 3:4; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6), not to some human standard. Jesus told her to live from then on by the 10 Commandments. This teaching is confirmed by other examples in the Bible. Jesus told the wealthy young ruler that the way to salvation required keeping the 10 Commandments (Matthew 19:16-21). Jesus Himself kept all the 10 Commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath (Luke 4:16). Obviously, Jesus wasn’t intimating that anyone could earn salvation by keeping the 10 Commandments. Yet He taught and showed by example that God has set a reasonable standard of behavior for His children. That standard is the 10 Commandments. Moreover, common sense tells us that pardoning someone for committing a capital crime doesn’t do away with the law that was broken. If anything, it shows that the law carries force, for without the pardon, the criminal would die! 1 Like |
