For we do not keep the Law to be saved. But rather, in keeping the Law we show ourselves to already have gained salvation through the cross of Christ. In light of the cross of Christ and the liberation from the (sting) of sin we receive from it, we are now free to keep the Law (Gal. 4:31).
C. Matthew McMahon

Day Of The Lord Or Day Of Chris

Day Of The Lord Or Day Of Chris

IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE “DAY OF THE LORD” OR “DAY OF CHRIST” IN 2THESSALONIANS 2:2?

Well, the textual criticism is real plain. The Textus Receptus says “Christ.” And the Westcott and Hort and Nestle’s and Aland and Metzger and Eusyppians say, “Lord.”

But, what’s the problem? Look at 2:1: “We beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” So, he said the day of Christ would be the day of the Lord anyway. It’s just another name for it.

Verse 1 said, “Our Lord Jesus Christ.”

That’s somebody who found something there and figured it would make better sense if it said, “Lord,” so he changed it to “Lord.”
