So, what's your answer? Does the Old Testament law apply to us today?

Amy says, "No," while Becky says, "No...with a side of yes."

Today, Amy and I are walking you through the three most important rules of understanding Scripture:
1-context
2-context
3-context

We're using one of the most plucked-right-out-of-context verses from the Old Testament, 2 Chronicles 7:14. I {Becky} would say that this verse is second only to Jeremiah 29:11 as being a verse people pull right from the passage to make it say what they'd like. Maybe we'll do an episode on that verse as well.

Amy and I are introducing you to a tool, The Old Testament Triangle Diagram, that can help us see how the Old Testament law/verse may not apply DIRECTLY to us, but there are still truths about God and timeless principles that apply to us today, especially when they are repeated in the New Testament.

Listen in to hear how we use context and this diagram to help us understand this passage more deeply and how it may or may not apply to us today. I pray that it is helpful for you!
