The whole point of a rabbi/disciple relationship is for the rabbi to teach his disciples how to walk in obedience to the Torah by word and by example so that they can be equipped to make their own disciples to teach how to walk in obedience to the Torah. In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ began his...

In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent of the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and God's law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the...

In Psalms 119:29, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith. In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God...

Someone or something can be alone in difference senses, such as someone can be alone apart from the presence of other humans while not be alone apart from the presence of their pets. So become righteous by faith alone apart from being required to have first done a certain amount of righteous...

While we do not earn eternal life as the result of our obedience to God’s word, Bible is nevertheless abundantly clear that being a doer of God’s word is the determinant of who will have eternal life (Deuteronomy 30:11-20, Deuteronomy 32:46-47, Proverbs 3:18, Proverbs 6:23, Matthew 19:17, Luke...

You have yet to quote where the Bible states that Gentiles did not know the law, so what you've made up full cloth does not counter what I said about Romans 14. Paul was referring to days that man esteemed as a disputable matter of opinion, not to days that man observed because God commanded...

Again, we are permitted to carry within an eruv on the Sabbath, so those Pharisees were incorrect.

Those verses notably do not state anything about Gentiles not knowing the law, but about not having it. In Acts 10:14, Peter objected by saying that he had never eaten anything that was "koinos" or "akathartos" and God rebuked Peter for referring to what He had made clean as being "koinos", but...

In Romana 14, the topic of the chapter is in regard to how to handle disputable matters of opinion in which God has given no command, not in regard to whether followers of God should follow God. For example, in Romans 14:2-3, they were judging and resenting each other over whether or not...

Jesus followed their traditions and instructed His disciples to also follow them in accordance with Deuteronomy 17:8-13. The Pharisees who thought that Jesus had broken the Sabbath were incorrect.

It notable does not say that they were doers of the law without knowing the law, so you're making stuff up. While Galatians says that Peter ate with Gentiles, it does not say that he ate unclean foots, so again you're making things up. While the Greek word "koinos" and "akathartos" both refer...

Someone has an understanding of how to obey the Torah and it gets passed down as tradition, so it would be virtually impossible for someone to by the Torah without following traditions. For example, in Numbers 15:38, it instructs to wear tassels on the corners of our garments with a thread of...

That refers to Gentiles being doers of the Torah in spite of not having physical possession of a Torah scroll, not being doers of the Torah while not knowing it. Father requires an object, so there is not such thing as faith without an object. God is trustworthy, therefore the Torah is also...

His problem was not with the oral law, but with them drawing near with their lips while their hearts were far from him. Hypocrisy is doing things for show and the problem that Jesus had with the Pharisees was not with their authority to make rulings about how to correctly obey God's law, but...

In Isaiah 51:7, the righteous are those on whose heart is God's law, and in 1 John 3:7, everyone who is a doer of righteous works is righteous even as they are righteous. Those who say that the law was made for the righteous in order to justify their freedom to be a doer of unrighteous works...

In Deuteronomy 17:8-13, God's word gives authority to priests and judges to make rulings about how to correctly obey God's law, which got passed down as oral law. In Matthew 23:1-4, Jesus recognizes that the scribes and Pharisees had this authority by saying that they sit in the Seat of Moses...

In Psalms 119:142, God's law is truth and His righteousness is eternal. The only way to become someone who has character traits is through faith that we ought to be a doer of that trait apart from being required to have first done a certain amount of works in order to earn it as the result...

A day that is holy is a day that is set apart and in order for a day to be set apart there needs to be a day that it is set apart from. If we did on every day what God wants us to do on the Sabbath, then we would do no work, but God also wants us to work on the other six days. Resting on the...

Jesus set an example for us to follow of keeping the 7th day holy.

Keeping the Sabbath holy testifies that there is a Creator who created the world in six days, who rested on the 7th, who sanctified it, and who sanctifies us. The purpose of all of God's laws is to teach us how to know, love, believe in, and testify about Him through acting in accordance with...
