The Misconceptions About Keeping the Law and the Influence of Marcionism
There is a fundamental misunderstanding about God's instructions and the law, which stems from Marcionism. This false dichotomy separates the God of the Old Testament, seen as a God of retribution and justice, from the God of the New Testament, portrayed as loving and gracious. However, throughout the Bible, God's character remains consistent. Jesus challenges the Pharisees' restrictive interpretation of the law, highlighting the spirit of the law, which is freedom. The Sabbath, for example, is a gift and a day of rest, not a burden of strict rules. Understanding the spirit of the law allows believers to find blessings and rest in God's instructions.
