Discussion
Topic: Mosaic Law in the Life of a Christian
Thread Prompt: The New Testament teaches the law is eternal and will never pass away (Matthew 5:17) but that believers in Christ are "no longer under the law" (Romans 7; Galatians 3-4). After reading Applying the Old Testament Law Today by J. Daniel Hays you will write a reflection on what this article has contributed to your understanding of the Christian's relationship to the Mosaic Law. This initial thread should be at least 400 words.
You may discuss areas of agreement or disagreement, and/or specific issues raised in the article. Does the article help in showing how the Christian uses the law as an ethical and moral guide? Why or why not? This is a reflection on the article, not a summary of its argument, but you must deal with the specific ideas and issues raised in the article.
