re christians above the law was clarification of personal position in article apr rchland ibm com xzz rchland vnet ibm com r j traff writes in article c muiw aqc mailer cc fsu edu dlecoint garnet acns fsu edu darius lecointe writes question is on what authority do we proclaim that the requirements of the fourth commandment are no longer relevant to modern christians please i don t believe most christians believe they are above the law however we are not saved by adherence to the law the law exists to tell us what is sinful we all sin hence we are all above the law where all in this case refers to christians jews believe that their sins are atoned for with blood sacrifice of animals as described in the old testament when was the last time you heard about a jewish animal sacrifice christians believe that their sins are atoned for by the blood sacrifice of jesus the blood sacrifice of an innocent man this does not make the law irrelevant then why don t christians follow it why don t they even follow their own ten commandments breaking the law is sinful and we are to avoid sinful ways but sinning by itself does not jeopardize salvation so in short hitler is in heaven and gandhi is in hell note that i m not a theologian but this is the gist of several sermons i ve heard lately and some bible studies i ve been through did you ever wonder if someone perhaps a great deceiver was pulling your leg
