Antinomian (against the law - lawless....)

Looks like we have an antinomian in the family! Please.... let me explain...

We have had ongoing verbal battles between Rosa and Owen. Owen will say "apple pie" and Rosa will crossly say "No apple pie!" and then "eat" and Rosa, "no eat!" and so on... hmmm... the old sin nature at it again!

Anyway we have been learning the verse from Galatians 5v 22 and 23...

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control, against such things there is no law.

Rosa was sitting on the potty one day - Owen walks up and starts talking about this verse - saying "law!" and of course, Rosa... "No law!"

A few nights ago at the dinner table there was a rare quiet moment while all were eating. All of the sudden Rosa declares "No law!"

I must confess at this point that we all ended up in stitches! (and of course now we are going to have to try and help her learn the rest of the verse :)
