There is a balance that we need to achieve between legalism (that is, seeking to be justified by the Law) and lawlessness (that is, not having any law or a false idea of…[Read more]

Quote (Gene @ Nov. 05 2009,20:46)Irene……….The issue here is Not the covenant, it is what is LAW, a LAW is (NOT) a Covenant , a covenant is a agreement, a law is Used for the enforcement of the agreement.  Law works through the power to extract a penalty, for violating it.  It is exactly the same as our present Law in our country, Our laws a…[Read more]
