| I read the chapter - I didn't see where he said anything about legalism - more exactly things that happen to those that do not obey the voice of the Lord. Those types of things still happen to those that don't obey the voice of the Lord. Folks can be forgiven - but the consequences on earth of bad choices still reign. Sowing and reaping hasn't been rescinded - as far as earthly results are concerned |

| You don't understand basic Bible legalism. You are trying to put new wine into old wineskins. You want to keep Hagar in the house - but that old system of blessed if you do good, cursed if you do bad is obsolete and must be cast out.If you rob a bank, expect to be arrested.If you cheat on your wife, expect a divorce.If you beat your children, expect a visit from social services.But as for God, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. See Gal. 3:13Our sins, all of them, have already been laid on Jesus, condemned, killed and put away.Rom. 4:7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,And whose sins have been covered.8 “Blessed is the man |

| True, and we need to recognize that Deuteronomy 28flows on from Chapter 27. The things that would bar the way to prosperity for the people included worshipping idols, cheating your neighbor, deliberately misleading blind people, having sex with your stepmother, copulating with animals, committing incest, murder, and receiving bribes. To commit such sins would be a clear indication that someone had deliberately chosen to cut himself from the covenant.It would be a sad perversion of the Gospel indeed if we were to say, Hey, it's OK to worship idols, steal your neighbor's land, exploit the disabled, have sex with your step-mother sister and dog, kill your neighbor and take bribes. You can keep doing all these things and God will still bless you and prosper you because you're a Christian and you're covered by the blood.We see a clear application of the true Gospel of Grace in 1 Corinthians where Paul addresses one of the very issues raised in Deuteronomy Chapters 27 & 28. A member of the Church at Corinth was sleeping with his step-mother. Paul did not say, Hey, don't worry about that cursed and fruitless stuff - it's all covered by the cross anyway. He was clear that the individual, by his actions, had separated himself from God's covenant people. The solution was to cast him out of the church until his actions demonstrated repentance Senior Pastor, Solid Rock Church, DroghedaNational Overseer, Church of God, IrelandExecutive Director, Evangelical Alliance Irelandhttp://eaiseanchai.wordpress.com/ |

| Jesus did nothing to facilitate me continuing to live in willful deliberate sin an excuse it by sayin it was my flesh what done it, not my spirit. Are you able to say what Jesus did for you or just what He didn't do for you I'm not saved because I'm good.
