Gal 4:4 does NOT say Jesus was "born under the Law" it says He was "made under the Law" the same way He was "made a curse" for us in Gal 3:13 which uses the same Greek word.

Paul defines Under the Law as being GUILTY in Rom 3:19

You are correct that 'made' is a more accurate translation than 'born'. Thanks for correcting me on that.

I believe there is only one meaning for the phrase 'under the law', and I discuss that in my video called:

Under the law - Examining it's uses

[Rogueoftroy]

Jesus said the law would not pass away until all be fulfilled. Jesus on the Cross: "It is finished." Any questions?

I agree that the saints are not under the law.

I do have a different understanding of what ALL is when Jesus said "till all is fulfilled."

Check out my video:

Matthew 5:17-20 - Transforming hearts through the law.

[sparkshot]

'under the law' could mean, 'under the death penalty' for breaking etc rather than 'obligation to keep', unsure.

Galatians 3:13 reads:

"Christ redeemed us from THE CURSE of the law..."

The language Paul wrote in had words for 'the', 'death', & 'penalty', so I am of the opinion that if Paul wanted to convey that we we not under "the death penalty", he would have written just that, as in the Galatians quote above.

[ChristusVlCTOR]

To be Under the Law = Under the Curse of the Law (see Gal 3:10, 13, 22-23; 4:4-5)

The ENTIRE Bible is in agreeance that God's Law is forever, and that those who Love God Obey His ENTIRE Law. That is the New Covenant (I will write My Law on their hearts, etc).

Paul says a few things that are a little tricky to understand, and the whole "church" throws out God's Law. But what should we expect, Paul warned us that the spirit of Lawlessness was at work in the church even in his day.

It is more than Paul's jutterbug dance with the Law. Rev 2 Yahshua says he hates those who preach the doctrine of Balaam. It also has something to say about those calling themselves Apostles, when they are not. Paul calls himself Father, and the comforter, a Master, all things Yahshua forbade. He curses people, not just a few, anyone who doubts him. And Yahshua forbade that too. Paul never saw Yahshua in the desert, Satan maybe. Serpent scales on the eyes.....

@preachinshawn - Ok, I'd have to disagree though, but that's ok. I'm still searching. Peter says people in his time were misunderstanding him then, moreso now. Paul speaks as if we know what he knows and we dont!

Thanks, I try not to let my preconceptions get in the way of understanding Gods word. Pray that God would make me humble.
