I am a Canadian, married with kid, and working in Hong Kong. I usually answer posts from a reformed / protestant / evangelical perspective.
People I have encountered on this site seem to be a ‘whole bunch of good people’. Even those who sharply disagree with my own point of view.
I am a huge sinner but am happy knowing God's grace will keep me in his grip.

Keep the law OR nail to the cross? added title |

Keep the law OR nail to the cross? Not at all. Following Paul is following Jesus, in that Paul best understood and taught Jess. When Jesus said he did not come to destroy the law, it means he did not come to oppose it or break its meaning. Its meaning was fullfilled in him, not opposed by him. Fulfillment 'brings an end' to something as its climax not as a destruction. Therefore, Christ makes Moses obsolete through fulfillment not opposition. Moses only serves and prepares for simething much greater, as a shadow. When the power of the Sun arises the light of the Moon is not required anymore. But the moon just reflects the Sun. |

Keep the law OR nail to the cross? @abcd - No worries, you are just agreeing with me. Yes, that is what I am arguing. One can't really divide the law into moral, civil, ceremonial therefore we must consider all the law to be superseded through fulfillment, not just parts. Biblically the Law is the first five books of the Bible. We should still sacrifices animals in the temple if the law was not nailed to the cross. The origin of the actual grouping that is iften used to argue against the whole law being crucified, here: christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/154/… |

How did the Catholic canon that Christians could not 'share a meal with a Jew' differ in spirit from the Pharisees traditions concerning Gentiles? I see some reason in your argument but the thing that does not make sense at all is how synod rulings can go for so many years without being corrected by the Pope. If ' its rulings cannot currently be considered any more significant than the ramblings of defrocked and excommunicated bishop Milingo' then why we're they not defrocked and excommunicated? Why no rebuke by the Pope for their excess, but rather seeming support in the absence of it? The Pope is supposed to be the boss so those under his authority they represent the Pope if he does not oppose there assembled rulings. True, or not? |

Besides works versus grace and indulgences, what were the external practices of the Catholics that offended so many reformers? Thanks for the tip and welcome to C.SE! |

Although I do not share your conclusion, for the purpose of this site, I think this represents a good catholic apologetic to the defense of my question and deserves an up-vote on that account. |

If you argue that this canon does not count because someone important was not there, would it not be the responsibility of the more important people to publicly denounce this official catholic ruling? A lack of denunciation would be acceptance as these officials are supposedly under the popes authority so they must fall in line? |

It took me all of twenty seconds to find one. If you want to argue against this evil canon and its traditional practice you need to find out when the practice ended and potan argument not a just a lazy comment can evade a the power of a legitamate question. This is more of denial than proper argumentation. |
