Bible Question: Is "no effect" in Galatians 5:4 the same as "no escape" in 1Thessalonians 5:3

Question

It seems many justified by the law, thereby fallen from grace above, say Peace and Safety in Law worketh Wrath, and don't see sudden destruction coming from law: ministration of death.

Answer 1

they are very different

Answer 2

Not really. The "no effect" in Galatians means that those who seek justification by their works, render the work of Christ as "no effect" or meaningless. Whereas, the "no escape" in 1 Thess. means that when God judges the world, those for whom the judgment is meant for will have no way to escape it. I can see a connection in that the same people spoken of in Galatians could be the same in the 1 Thess. passage.

Answer 3

You are comparing 2 different things, so the answer to your question is NO.
If you want to understand what Paul was teaching concerning Peace and safety, read Ezekiel 38 and 39, when Gog has it in his mind to come upon Jerusalem unexpectedly, while Jerusalem has been in peace, 'without walls'.
If you are trying to understand something 'without the Torah(Law)' you won't get very far.

Answer 4

Get a good Greek dictionary.

Gal 5:4 "no effect" =
G2673
καταργέω
katargeō
kat-arg-eh'-o
From G2596 and G691; to be (render) entirely idle (useless), literally or figuratively: - abolish, cease, cumber, deliver, destroy, do away, become (make) of no (none, without) effect, fail, loose, bring (come) to nought, put away (down), vanish away, make void.

1. Thes 5:3 "no escape" =
G1628
ἐκφεύγω
ekpheugō
ek-fyoo'-go
From G1537 and G5343; to flee out: - escape, flee.

Summary, they are NOT the same.

the Quran is truly the word of the Absolute one that says: "He who is guided by Allah SWT is and forever will be in the guidance of Allah SWT, and he whom has allowed himself to be led astray have never been and never will be guided by anything on the face of this earth! BINGO! WE GOT IT!
Just give us time to trickle the love down, turn no longer to each other in hate, please!!!! We made error also, but there had to be some defence and we had to play your game to learn the rules.. And that is what we do when we don't understand something we go back to Allah SWT, then Muhammed SAW and then all those loved him -"THATS US CAUSE HE MISSED US SO MUCH BEFORE WE WHERE EVEN BORN! PERFECT SENSE!" So no more Babble, and lets look towards this new found or shall I say old found promise land that we so are prejudice and ignorant to have kept bickering about what we have, and forget to see what we where given through all books.
We mentioned Allah SWT is always in knowledge and the gift was for you each and every one of you! So please those who believe turn East to a name I will give once "We" will give once we iron out some details, you know our style its un breakable style just like the Quran :) Oh ya Jim C - we figured out the link thanks so much for the Gift, it was all that made the differance Al hamdoullah WE CALL NOW FOR PEACE AND THANK YEE THY LORD!
