Tate Publishing, 2011 - Religion - 514 pages

Have you ever wondered why the Law of Moses was given To The children of Israel, especially if true salvation could only come through Christ? Have you ever been confused regarding the status of the Old Testament laws in the new covenant? If God's law commands that an adulteress be stoned, why did Jesus not condemn the woman caught in the act of adultery? These are only a few of the questions that haunt Christians that attempt to rectify the old covenant with the new. Jesus himself proclaimed that he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. Follow Kurt, a seeker for truth, who finds himself immersed in a conversation with the Law of Moses in A Chance Encounter with the Law. Kurt is anxious to ask the toughest questions, pointing out seeming inconsistencies within the Scriptures. However, with faith that all Scripture is inspired, Kurt is answered with patience, insight, and wisdom. Join along in this intense dialog where Kurt gleans an in-depth understanding from the Scriptures concerning: Salvation the details of the new and old covenants the true purpose of the law the blessings promised to believers that seek the truth Common misconceptions in doctrines like the new birth, The indwelling of the Spirit, and much more...
