The righteousness obtained by law.





Edit : Seek understanding from God and not man.





Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.Christians,which law was nailed to the cross ? ?
When speaking of the ending of the Mosaic law covenant at the time of Jesus’ death and resurrection and ascension into heaven, why did Jehovah say that “He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake”? No copy of the law was nailed to the torture stake of Christ Jesus in the first place, and if it had been what good would that do? How would that act take the law out of the way or terminate it? Since the law was not literally nailed to the stake, the meaning must be symbolical. What is that meaning? Again, it is the background facts that illuminate the words. The claim is made that in the time of Christ in Asia bills or deeds were canceled by driving a nail through them and fixing them to a post in a public place. Some say that outmoded laws were abrogated by nailing copies of them up in public places. While specific proof of this custom is lacking today, there are indications that it existed and was followed and that the allusion is to this custom where Colossians 2:14 speaks of the law as being canceled out by nailing it to the torture stake on which Jesus was impaled.





First Timothy 1:3, 4 records Paul’s warning to “certain ones not to teach different doctrine, nor to pay attention to false stories and to genealogies which end up in nothing, but which furnish questions for research rather than a dispensing of anything by God in connection with faith.” The force of this warning is more appreciated when we know of the scrupulous accuracy with which the Jews kept the genealogies, and how minutely they investigated any possible discrepancy. “How prolific these Biblical books [of Chronicles] were in provoking genealogical conceits is shown by the statement that 900 camel-loads of commentary existed on 1 Chron. viii. 37 to ix. 44,” says The Jewish Encyclopedia, and it continues to deplore the mischief and pride involved in these genealogical tables. But when Paul wrote First Timothy such controversies were pointless. It was no longer vital to have the genealogical records maintained, since God no longer recognized in the “body of Christ” Jew or Gentile anyway, and the genealogical records already established the descent of Christ through the line of David. So the genealogies were of no importance to Christian teaching, and Christians should not be sidetracked into such quarrels that contributed nothing to Christian faith.
This was some idea that people thought up AFTER they had no further contact with J.C. Like all individual sects, some people started ';adding'; and ';subtracting'; and ';interpreting'; after the star of the show left the stage. This is humorous especially since I hear Protestants ALL of the time claiming that after the Apostles died that revelations died. They use this argument mostly against the Catholics and Mormons, who each believes in further guidance from their god through their church officials.
There was only one law for those of Israel in that context; the old covenant law. People do produce spins and explanations in order to circumvent the obvious.
