(And I need to emphasize here that it is crucial, eternal life or eternal death, to understand that there is a false gospel and to study out what is the true and what is the false.)įrom the original meaning of warp and woof, another meaning, a metaphorical meaning, has evolved based on the initial usage. What a perfect illustration of the wending and weaving together of the law, and the gospel is presented in the “warp and woof” of the weaver’s craft. If only part of the law is used, the fabric of our faith will be weak and unable to endure the test.īy the same token, even if there is a complete law, without the gospel, it produces a legalistic religion, the husk without the kernel. The fabric would be weak and unable to stand up to regular use. Let’s say that the weaver used only half thickness yarn, or damaged, frayed yarn for the warp yarn. Now let’s take this illustration one step further. Without the gospel, the true gospel, there is no foundation, no basis for our faith. Remove it and again there is nothing left but loose yarn, nothing left that can be used as fabric. In just the same way, if the law is removed from faith, there is no foundation, no basis, no cloth of faith left. If you were to remove all the warp yarn, there would not be any fabric in fact, all that would be left is a pile of loose, tangled, useless yarn. Neither can function independently of the other. To illustrate, let’s consider the law as the warp yarn, and the gospel, the true gospel, as the woof yarn. The weft or woof yarn is woven through the warp yarn to create the cloth. In the craft of weaving, the warp yarn is the vertical yarn. The last expression in this quote caught my attention, and since I was not familiar with it, I decided to look it up. The law and the gospel are in perfect harmony they are interwoven as the warp and the woof.” The Review and Herald, September 29, 1891. In the cross of Calvary, mercy and truth are met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other. The atoning sacrifice, the righteousness of Christ, is to us the vital center of all truth. The knowledge of truth is the great power of God unto salvation to all who believe. “Mighty truths have been committed to human agencies, truths which, when unfolded, quicken into activity the minds of men and women who are in the darkness of error, and call to them, ‘Come for all things are now ready’. skins of fishes, are not defiled by plagues (of leprosy) for which the commentators give this reason, that as wool and linen are of things which grow out of the earth, so must the skins be that is, of such animals as live by grass, that springs out of the earth but if anything was joined unto them, which grew out of the earth, though but a thread, that received uncleanness, it was defiled.Thus says the Lord : ‘Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth for I delight in these things,’ declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 9:23, 24. but skins of fishes, according to the Jewish traditions, are excepted for so they say, sea skins, i.e. Whether in a skin, or anything made of skin that is, whether in unwrought skin, which is not made up in anything, or in anything that is made of skins, as tents, bottles, &c. When these are woven and mixed together, it seems difficult, if not impossible, to judge whether the plague of leprosy was in the one or in the other one would think it should be unavoidably in both wherefore Castalio renders the words, whether "in the outer part of it, or in the inner" in the outside or inside, or what we call the right side or the wrong side of the cloth: but to me it seems that the warp and woof, whether of linen or woollen, are here distinguished not only from garments made of them, but from the cloth itself, of which they are made, and even to be considered before they are wrought together in the loom and, according to the Jews, when upon the spindle: Whether it be in the warp, or woof, of linen, or of woollen.
