KML,Thank you so much for calling out the Galatianism of today:
"For those who may be reading this letter who participate in the Hebrew Roots Movement which has crept into the churches"
It starts out appealing to our religious pride, in knowing more about the Hebrew language or old testament practices.Slowly it turns to a works-based salvation.Either works to get saved or to stay saved.The Galatians were bewitched:
Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Years ago, I felt the tug of that, but the LORD protected me from myself.Praise the LORD for your boldness,Gino
