And, so, he rejects Jesus' sacrifice and prefers to try to obtain Salvation by following every dot and t in the Law. Well, how'd he do? Not very well, I'll bet.
The New testament creature is not about adhering to the Law, rather in understanding that he cannot perfectly adhere to the Law, and that he needs Grace to survive. Under the Law, you must be perfect. It's pass-fail. No passing grade. No grading on a curve.
So, that guy was as the Pharisees who thought that the Law would save them. They thought, as Muslims do, that performance is the key to Salvation. It is not, of course.
==...trying to curb his lust...==
Under the Law, there's no such thing as "trying" to follow it. There is no grading curve. No "70% is passing" stuff. It's pass-fail. You have to be perfect. 'Cept you cannot, but you must.
Those who are born again don't have-ta be perfect. They just have to be under Grace, realizing that they cannot perfectly serve the Law.
God will not treat the disobedient as He does the obedient.
So, trying to follow the Law, how did he do?
==I obey the famous ones:
-The Ten Commandments
-Love thy neighbor
-Be fruitful and multiply
-But also, the hundreds of oft-ignored ones.
-Do not wear clothes of mixed fibers.
-Do not shave your beard
-Stone adulterers"==
No, you don't.
(Jas 2:10) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
(Jas 2:11) For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Not only that, but, for example, if you make a rule for yourself that you will not yell at your spouse, and, then, you raise your voice to him/her, VIOLATION. God holds you accountable for that.
In other words, God says that, if you're gonna choose the Law for Salvation, then, you must follow it to the t and to the dot.
Jesus himself said, "By their fruits you will know them" in warning us about false prophets to come. I very rarely make a negative remarks on a sitting President (regardless of whether I approve of him or not.)But Dobson has pimped the Gospel and its Churches. Take a look at the fruit of the labors of Focus on the Family. Did he name it that so that Satan would have no doubts as to what the target would be? His brand of Psychology is directly responsible for the divorce rate inside of Churches in almost ever denomination escalating almost even with the divorce rate secularly. Jesus warned his followers to be a wise as snakes and as harmless as doves. But very few of them are/were. Dobson either really is anti-abortion, or knew it was the perfect stand to take to fool most Christians. Lenin
was antiabortion. Lots of atheists have and are antiabortion. Being antiabortion does not a man of God make. In every way, huge portions of people who call themselves Christians, in the USA, and elsewhere have followed Dobson as if he is a true prophet. Most of them people who believe there is not such thing as prophets anymore since the New Covenant Scriputures were compiled. And the Pentecostals who did so should truly be ashamed of themselves. Dobson never did pass the criteria. While he was viewing pornography for Congress no one was defending a wifes right not to be forced to testify against her husband (in order for her or her children to receive relief from abuse.) While Dobson was keeping us all from going to the defense for the chosen faiths of so many wives in traditional marriages by doing in effective attacks on Pro-Life issues "marriage" has been destroyed in the USA. While he and his favorite political parties and cronies say they are all have faith in our judicial system they never once tried to make due process of law be the way to deal with domestic abuse/sexual assaults in families. Nope, we just force, coerce, and extort the women involved into divorcing the bums. Too bad if the bums are not guilty. Too bad if the wives do not believe in traditional lifestyles, they can just be retrained. Too bad if it causes the children stress beyond humanly possible. The fruits of this man's labors are the demise of traditonal Christianity and its Churches. Pastors just mindlessly handed their flocks over, one and two and three at a time to Psychologists. Because of some lies that their practices work. If they worked so well, why don't the numbers show it? In fact, the numbers (the fruit) says exactly the opposite.
Mr. Incredible, the perfect "Word of God" is Jesus. See John, Chapter 1. No Bible ever bled for you, or me, or anyone else.
