Law in the New Testament

A different way to look at it

We don't agree with every thing Mr. Dake taught, but this list puts a different spin on New Testament instructions. What if these aren't suggestions anymore than the 10 Commandments (or the 613) are? What if we look at this list as a set of commandments also? What if believers actually pursued these things as if they were life itself? What if there aren't 1,050 or 613 but only one (love God) expressed 1,663 ways?

Handy tool

The Word of God Ministries doesn't see that a lot of these 1,050 commands are really separate commands. Rather, many of them (and other verses) are simply different ways of saying the same thing. However, the groupings are handy for fleshing out the individual concepts and getting a better handle on related ideas.

Some verses are misquoted

Check all of the references, and read a little before and after in order to get an accurate understanding of the Word as opposed to Dake's opinions of the Word. Some verses he misquotes, although we allow that he does so within the context of his church understanding. We have noted some instances of the misquotes, and instances of our disagreement. There are also a few video links to videos on our Youtube channel for a better understanding of our positions.

Mr. Finnis Jennings Dake had a lot of controversial teachings. Some of them are not biblical in our estimation. Some of them are due to disagreement with church tradition and not the Bible. We do not endorse everything he taught. But this list is important for at least two reasons. One is it gives a different viewpoint of the New Testament, in that it changes the normal church idea of "we can take it or leave it" into something more incumbent on all believers. The second reason it's important is it shows that despite the typical church teaching to the contrary, there is lots of Law in the New Testament. Mr. Dake took the Bible very literally, most of the time.
