Is the New Testament a Law? (Jonathan Perz)

November 5, 2024 by admin

Is the New Testament a Law? Jonathan Perz The Bible is undeniably divided into two key sections—the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Legalism … Again … and Again … and Again … Jonathan Perz Ugh. (Yes, I just started a post off with the word “ugh.”) I realize that many of my brethren have grave concerns about the idea of “legalism.” It has become quite paramount in the thinking of some. The way some speak, there is […]
