You can't argue Deuteronomy isn't the Law given to the Hebrews.
Christ said he came to FULFILL the Law, not erase a jot or a tittle of it.
Despite Liberal efforts to make Jesus a Magical Forgiveness Machine, He said "Go and sin no more." God is not fine with our sinning nor excusing it. He expects us to TRY to follow the Law, though we may fall short. And He knows the lies in human hearts.
“You can argue that Genesis is parable.”
I strongly disagree. Genesis is either true as it was written or the whole Bible is false.
The Law sends us to Christ for Justification and Regeneration. Christ sends us back to the Law for sanctification.
No you cannot. Either all of the Bible is true or none of it is.
NO ONE can follow the law, no one but Christ himself kept the Law. That is why he chose Paul to introduce “Grace” to the believers. The Law leads to death (that is scripture) Grace leads to forgiveness and eternal life. After Jesus talked to the young rich man and he turned away, Jesus’ own disciples asked him” then who can be saved??? Jesus answer was what is impossible with men is possible through God. In other words the law cannot save you because you cannot keep the law, but Grace can save you.
Very good argument. Concur.
Not so. When Jesus spoke in parables, He made clear He was doing so, and gave meanings for various words He used as illustrations.
When it comes to Genesis, Hebrew teaching regards it as an historical account. In fact, that is the way it's written.
If we consider Genesis to be anything but factual, the rest of the Bible, and God's purpose of redemption, falls apart. He used those books to clearly show us how sin entered the human race, why creation fell under His righteous anger, and why we need that redemption.
Elsewhere throughout the Bible, the people mentioned in Genesis are referred to as real---historical, not mythical---individuals. The Apostle Paul spoke of sin entering the world through one man, and he called that man by name---Adam.
Jesus talked about the creation of Adam and Eve, and Noah and the flood, as real historical people & events.
