Core Christianity Must Christians Keep the Mosaic Law?
Episode 639 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
1. I'm still relatively new to the faith. Recently I've been confused about the meaning of 1st John chapter 3 verse 4. There are a lot of discrepancies regarding that verse, and many are using it to say that we must uphold God's law, including the sabbath. I ended up going deep down the rabbit hole of the internet a couple weeks back and I've discovered that there are some groups claiming that our salvation is contingent upon our obedience to the Mosaic Law. I know that we aren't justified by the law, but all the conflicting information online has been making me really overwhelmed, confused and stressed. What should I do?
2. How should we respond to Messianic Judaism?
3. In Matthew 7, Jesus says, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'" This sounds like one of the scarier passages in the bible, what is your interpretation of this?
4. In Luke 22, Jesus says that one should sell their cloak and buy a sword. What does this mean?
5. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul says that God desires all to be saved, if this is true, why aren't all people saved?
