Pilgrim, where have I said;" Gods Law could safely be relegated to oblivion" as you imply .Explain please
You have too many times said that the Moral Law of God is no longer binding upon Christians. Could it be said any plainer than that? scratchchin

Now, you can get feisty all you like.. to a point of course, with all your silly rhetoric, e.g., "I wont be bullied by you , the WCF , or ANY tradition.'! evilgrin But it isn't going to change the facts nor the truth that Antinomians in EVERY age have been rejected and soundly refuted. That heresies "morph" from generation to generation is nothing new, because the Father of Lies is like a chameleon who changes colors to match its surroundings so as to blend in and not be easily recognized.

So, all your empty protests will avail nothing with me nor with the vast majority of people here, who btw, don't follow men as sheep, but are students of Scripture and taught by the Holy Spirit no less than what you claim is true of yourself. So, any of those arguments are just weak strawman ploys. laugh The matter in dispute has been clearly stated by you and I'm not one to let you off the hook with some attempt to use semantics. Anti (against) nomian (law), = anyone who rejects the perpetuity and binding application of God's Moral Law, aka: Ten Commandments for believers. This would include all forms of Dispensationalism who would bifurcate the Moral Law and say it was applicable and binding upon OT Israel, but not upon NT Christians. Now, is this not your position? the one which you claim you are "working through" yet find nothing truthful in the view that opposes it? scratch1

As previously stated, I am up to speed on the Puritan debate between 1640-1700 and ,quite frankly, there is no sign here that many are.
Don't preen yourself, brother, as being the only one who has read the Puritans. And I find this statement totally at odds with what you wrote immediately beforehand where you said quoting from notable authors is basically fruitless, etc. Yet, here you are boasting of being "up to speed" of the issue having read some of the debate which took place between 1640-1700 by Puritan authors? scold

What we have so often asked for and have received so little is EXEGESIS of SCRIPTURE. Soooooo, where is YOUR exegesis of the texts that have been used against your view? Are they forthcoming or not? Can you make a case that Scripture never uses "commandments" as a synonym for the Decalogue or any of the Moral Law? I anxiously await your biblical expositions.

In His Grace,
