Galatians 2 reads:



Are there false brethren among us today that have infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ and make us slaves?

If so, Do they preach another gospel?

So Dan what is Freedom? Can one be FREE to commit murder? all things are lawful! hmmmmm Yeah, Sure it might not be beneficial to have done it but he was ticking me off! LOL!

As I pointed out in another thread you can't sit and say well people that SIN showed they where never Chrisitans and sit and say all things are lawful. ala "Well you can do it but if you do you really never where saved" or "If you get caught up in the flesh after you where saved you where never really a Chrisitian."

Really? These were men who obeyed the commandments and lived "upright" lives, Luke. See Acts 15.

I didn't address freedoms, the Apostle Paul did.

Well to those who have taken the time to read the book of Galatians they will realize that these Christians were turning back to the law, by doing so they were trying to add to the salvation that was purchased. It could never be a one stepper that Paul had in mind because the problem was adding to, not taking away from the Gospel.

Adding conditions to what Christ has done is the problem, not freedom. And it is sad that when you say something like this you have to add a disclaimer or some idiot will ask if it’s ok to murder and commit adultery. So if your tempted to ask such a question don’t or I might change my mind and think murder is ok too.

Baron, it's funny how two people can read the same scriptures and see what's going on in them differently. I see what was going on with the Galatians as along the lines that they started to believe they could be saved by following the law, rather than maintaining their confidence in Christ's ability to save. That's what I believe Paul was admonishing them over.

What is it you see differently? They were returning to the law as a way to be saved. Paul explains to them you can't add to what Christ has done. The law has served its purpose. So the issue is adding to with works of the law, not taking away.
