The Curse Of The Law

Contributed by John Lowe on May 18, 2016

Salvation could never come by obedience to the Law, because the Law brings a curse, not a blessing. The Law demands obedience, and this means obedience in all things. The Law is not a “religious cafeteria” where people can pick and choose.

Tom Lowe 5/17/16 The Curse of the Law (3.10-12) Galatians 3.10-12 (KJV) 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is ...read more

Spiritual Warfare

Community - Weirdest Herd I've Ever Seen!
