On the Length of Comments

Mm-hm. Thanks for the reminder.

Absolutely agreed Scot.

A suggestion for those who really feel the need to post extra-long comments: if you have a blog, turn your comment into a post on your blog. Trackbacks work great for this, and that way those of us who may want to read a longer comment still can, without horribly interrupting the flow of the conversation here.

Amen, I do not even really like a long post. Maybe this is not the best, but it is the net culture.

Amen! Thanks for the guideline.

Roger!

Richard at #11,

Since the Law is God's preliminary revelation of God's will, I would say, "Yes, he did fulfill it because he was sinless and because he did even more than the Torah."

Thanks for the response Scott, surprised me.

“Yes, he did fulfill it because he was sinless and because he did even more than the Torah.”

Senior skipping over a couple of points if you don't mind me saying.
Was God unrighteous to curse his son.
What grounds did God curses his son. Jesus was born under the law Galatians 4 chapter. Paul says in the third chapter of the law could make no one righteous and righteousness was to come through faith because of a promise.
I know these are questions that no one likes to deal with but nonetheless are valid questions and I think they have concrete answers.
I know Jesus fulfilled the law.
There's a difference between fulfilling the law and being righteous by the law. My question again becomes what Paul deals with in the third chapter of Galatians cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree. If I read Paul right that's directly out of the law. My perception is that the law was flawed because of the flesh. It being a spiritual law.
Christ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.?

As always, I'm the main offender. I was just following the two individual threads while I was working and it was a very busy day, so I just saw this. I only even followed those two threads because I felt so passionate about their topic. As ever, Scot, feel free to delete comments by me or metaphorically whack me if you think I'm blocking conversation. You're not going to offend me by doing so. I know I use too many words when I have a lot I feel like I want to say, especially when it's something I care about. And it is your blog. I don't feel any sense of entitlement or right to hog the comment threads, no matter how strongly I feel about something. So delete away any time I get out of hand. 8)
