It is good that you are acknowledging that according to God’s what you are doing is worthy of the death penalty, so what don’t you like about it?

There is no Sanhedrin, so anyone doing that would be transgressing the Law of Moses.

I know of countless people who have obeyed the Law of Moses and I doubt you are the exception.

God has not commanded anything that wasn’t in accordance with walking in the Spirit.

God did not give His law as instructions for how to change ourselves or for how to become good enough for Him, but as instructions for how to come to Him. It is contradictory to change ourselves by relying on God's instructions. In Titus 2:11-13, our salvation is described as being trained by...

God is sovereign, so we are under His law. In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting His law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, so if want nothing to do with being under God's law, then you want nothing to do with the New Covenant. In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to...

Morality is in regard to what we ought to do and we ought to be in God's likeness by being a doer of His character traits and His law is His instructions for how to do that. Jesus lived morally and he also lived in sinless obedience to God's law. Likewise, God's character traits are the fruits...

God's way is the way to know, love, glorify, believe in, and testify about Him by being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits and God has taught how to walk in His way through His law (1 Kings 2:1-3). For example, in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his...

It is important to recognize that Paul spoke about multiple categories of Law other than the Law of God, so we should be careful to discern which law he was referring to us as not being under. For example, in Romans 7:25-8:2, Paul contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and contrasted the...

Christ set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to God's law and as his followers we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way that he walked (1 John 2:6).

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for 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...

What it means for the God of Israel to be our God and the way to know, love, worship, believe in, and testify about Him is by directing our lives towards being in His likeness by being a doer of His character traits in obedience to Him. For example, by being a doer of good works in obedience to...

God's way is the way to know and believe in Him by being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits, such as in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in His way by being a doer of righteousness and justice that the...

God’s way is the way to know Him and Jesus by directing our lives towards being in His likeness by being a doer of His character traits, which is the way to the Tree of Life (John 17:3), and sin is what is contrary to God’s way, which is the way to the Tree of Knowledge. Sin is also the...

Paul was a servant of God, so he upheld all of God’s commandments, not just ten of them.

What you should be against is not so much rejecting Paul as being against interpreting Paul in a way that means that we should reject him. In Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed His children to determine that someone is a false prophet who is not speaking for Him is if they taught...

Indeed, Jesus embodied the Mosaic Law by setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to it. No, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked (1 John 2:6), so only those who are following Christ’s example of walking in obedience to the Mosaic...

“God’s law” straightforwardly refers to the laws that God has given of which Jesus was in complete accordance.

Jesus expressed his righteousness by setting an example of how to walk in obedience to God's law, so God's law describes the behaviors that you might expect.

Righteousness is not something that can be earned as a wage even through perfect obedience (Romans 4:1-5). In Romans 3:21-22, it doesn't say that the Law and the Prophets testify that the righteousness of God comes through perfect obedience, but rather the only way to become righteous that is...
