>>13326933Now People like to bring up that Paul would argue that he abolished the law and calls for multicultural approaches and the like. The verse that usualy is brought up is
>28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.alleging that this nullifies differences between these. They fail to see that this is refering to Salvation, meaning that everyone, regardles of ethnicity, gender, class etc. are called to follow God and not that following Jesus abolishes all differences and social regulations regarding these differences which are detailed elsewhere in the scripture. How can I say that? Here is another bit from Paul
>34 Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.here a clear difference is mentioned in how faitfull women and men should act, in line with previous established customs, showing that Galatians doesnt revoke those
>14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.>15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed. 18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.Paul argues that we are no longer under the law as Jesus paid for our transgrassions, as such there is no punishment for the sinning. He refutes however the mentality that argues that we are now free to sin, as there is no punishment. The law is good, and if we love God, and our neighbor, our enemy and everyone, we should produce, and now are meant to do good and obey the law out of love for life instead fear of death.
