[The Grounds of Christianity Examined by Comparing The New Testament with the Old by George Bethune English]@TWC D-Link bookThe Grounds of Christianity Examined by Comparing The New Testament with the Old CHAPTER XI 16/18
Acts xxv.
8, "Against the law of the Jews, neither against the Temple, have I offended any thing at all," and again, to the Jews at Rome, Acts xxviii., 7, he assures them that "he had done nothing against the people, or the customs of the fathers." But some men will say," did not Paul expressly teach the abrogation of the law, in his Epistles, especially in that to the Galatians ?" I answer, he undoubtedly did; and in so doing he contradicted the Old Testament, his master Jesus, the twelve Apostles, and himself too.
But how can this be? I answer, it is none of my concern to reconcile the conduct of Paul; or to defend his equivocations.
It is pretty clear, that he did not dare to preach this doctrine at Jerusalem.
He confined this "hidden wisdom," to the Gentiles.
