study guide, authored by Jeffery W. Hamilton<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve adopted its scripture into a lesson format.\u00a0 Herein is where I’ll be wanting.\u00a0 Not being familiar with Methodism, what difficulties should be anticipated?<\/p>\nAny aid and direction are greatly appreciated.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n\t
Answer:<\/h2>\n
From what I know of Methodism, there is nothing in their belief system that states the Old Law remains in effect. Methodism, in general, has swung to a liberal view and its adherents tend to think that people can choose whatever belief system they like. Thus, many Methodists have no qualms about Jews living under the Old Law while they live under the New Law. But still, the Methodists don’t believe they live by the Mosaic Covenant.<\/p>\n
While Methodists don’t officially believe Christians are under the Ten Commandments, it is a very common belief among religious people in general. However, I think that if you go through the points and passages with your fiance, she won’t many difficulties with the points. If you run into questions you don’t know how to address, you are always welcome to write.<\/p>\n\t
