It is absurd to think that I violate God's commandment by holding the position that we should follow God's commandments in accordance with the example that Christ set for us to follow, but rather it is refusing to submit to God's command that is violating it. Again, it is the law of sin that is...

Was Marry's mother sinless?

No. Paul spoke about multiple categories of law other than the Law of God, such as the law of sin and works of the law. For example, in Romans 7:25-8:2, he contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and contrasted the Law of the Spirit with the law of sin and death. In Romans 3:27, Paul...

I have not placed the Law of Moses above the Law of Messiah, but rather the Messiah spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Law of Moses by word and by example, so I see no justification for thinking that the Law of Messiah is something other than or contrary to what he taught...

In Deuteronomy 30, it is the basis of the New Covenant, which prophesies about the Israelites returning from exile, God circumcising their hearts, and about them returning to obedience to the Mosaic Law. In Jeremiah 31:33 and Ezekiel 36:26-27, the context is in regard to the Israelites...

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 the Mosaic 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...

Jesus set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law, so he was much more zealous for obedience to it than the Pharisees were and he never criticized them for obeying it, but he did criticize them for not obeying it or for not obeying it correctly. The fact...

Jesus is God's word made flesh, so while we do not need to be a Jew in order to follow him, we can't follow him by refusing to follow God's word. God's word is His instructions for how to believe in God's word made flesh and we can't believe in him by refusing to follow God's word. The...

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 the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is, so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the Kingdom...

The only way to become righteous that is testified about by the Law and Prophets is through faith in Christ. There is a difference between the way to become righteous and what we are becoming when we become righteous. The only way to become righteous is by faith apart from being required to...

It is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of what sin is (Romans 3:20), so the position that we are not it is the position that we are free to sin all we like, which is clearly contrary to what taught, so 1 Corinthians 9:20 could not be referring the Mosaic Law. Paul was not speaking about...

@Eternally Grateful @Ziggy The Mosaic Law describes the way that Christ lived as do the greatest two commandments, so do you agree that someone who is correctly living in obedience to the Mosaic Law would be living in an identical manner as someone who is correctly living in obedience to the...

Paul spoke about multiple categories of law other than the Law of God, such as the law of sin and works of the law, so it is important to correctly identify which law he is speaking about. For example, in Romans 7:25-8:2, Paul contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and contrasted the Law...

Paul did not address the book of Romans to unbelievers who had who did not know about the Law of Moses, but to Gentile believers who were obeying it by nature, and were showing that it was written on their hearts even though they did not have physical possession of a Torah scroll. Again, it is...

Gentiles not having the law refers to not having physical possession of a Torah scroll. Jews were in charge of copying, maintaining, and teaching the Torah, so if a Gentile wanted access to it, then they had to go through the Jews to do that. The point is for Jews to be a light and a blessing...

Believing Gentiles by nature doing what the Mosaic Law requires is in full support of the Mosaic Law not be abrogated. Saying that we can't believe Christ's words without believing what Moses wrote is again in full support of what Moses wrote not being abrogated. In Galatians 3:16-19, a new...

The NT commands are based on and in accordance with the OT commands. Christ set a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the Law of Moses, so what sense does it make to think that the Law of Christ is something other than or contrary to the example that he set for us to follow? In...

That's not what the Bible says, but rather God's law was given for our own good in order to bless us (Deuteronomy 6:24, 10:12-13). I cited a number of verses to show that that is indeed what the Bible says.

I cited the Greek definition to show that "oikodomeo" can mean to restore, rebuild, or repair and I cited a verse that uses it in that sense, so insisting that I am wrong does not counter my position, though we can agree to disagree if you're prefer. When a word can have a range of meanings...
