Sadly, most professing 'Christians' believe that the Old Testament, with all its 'hars'h laws, has been done away, replaced with grace and 'belief' requiring no works. This antinomian philosophy, which the apostle Paul had to battle continuously, crept into the early church from the teaching of the Hellenistic Gnostic dualism, suggesting that the physical universe is evil and the spiritual universe (from which our 'immortal soul' allegedly derived) is pure and good. Gnosticism, which had infiltrated the congregations in Galatia and Colossae, has dominated mainstream Christianity, encompassing the evangelical Protestant churches of the world. When Paul taught Timothy that "all scripture is given by inspiration by God, profitable for doctrine," he was referring to the Old Testament exclusively. When Christ battled the ruler of darkness, He used Old Testament scripture completely. Jesus reminds us that until heaven and earth pass away, not one tittle shall in no wise pass. Grace as unmerited pardon for past sins does not give a follower of Christ the right to ignore the Law which will last for eternity. We should realize that keeping the faith is equivalent to actively keeping the commandments of God (Revelation 14:12).
