The God of Israel has given laws to teach how to know, love, worship, believe in, and testify about Him, so those who want seeking after the Spirit by doing those things will follow those instructions, which were given for our own good (Deuteronomy 6:24, 10:12-13). If we learn to love as God...

Jesus said that because of lawlessness the love of many will grow cold (Matthew 24:12-14).

The way to glorify God is by testifying about aspects of His character. For example, our good works testify about God's goodness, which is why they bring glory to Him (Matthew 5:16).

Those are different ways of referring to the same thing. God is not in disagreement with Himself about which laws we should follow, so the Law of Christ is the same as the Law of the Spirit and the Law of the Father, which was given to Moses. The phrase "the Law and the Prophets" uses capital...

Romans 10:5-8, it references Deuteronomy 30:11-16 as the word of faith hat we proclaim in regard to saying that God's law is not too difficult to for us to keep and that keeping it brings life and a blessing, but that is the word of faith that you deny. Furthermore, there are many examples of...

That is not necessarily the case, but rather "oikodomeo" can mean to restore, rebuild, or repair: https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g3618/kjv/tr/0-1/ It is also used in that sense in Matthew 26:61. For someone to have a character trait means to be a doer of that trait. That's not...

In Matthew 7:23, Christ said that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he never knew, so knowing Christ is the goal of the law, which means that the the verses that you quoted should not be interpreted as saying that being workers of the law is dung and...

Exodus 34:6-7 ”Then Adonai passed before him, and proclaimed, “Adonai, Adonai, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth, showing mercy to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, yet by no means leaving the guilty...

The Bible refers to the Law of Moses as being the Law of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23.

In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God commanded him to without departing from it, so what God directly told Moses to write down is not any less of the perfect Law of God than what God directly wrote. In Psalms 19:7, it uses the Hebrew word “Torah”, which refers to the...

Before Adam and Eve had eaten from either tree they were at a crossroads between mortality and eternal life, where eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil caused them to become mortal while eating from the Tree of Life would have caused them to have eternal life. In Deuteronomy...

I'm sorry about the mix up, I was respond to a post by @GracePeace made and you responded as if you thought I had been responding to you rather than them. Thank you. Yes, everything in Scripture testifies about how to know the Messiah, which is eternal life, including the Mosaic Law. In...

The Bible begins and ends with the Tree of Life and the purpose of everything in between is about how have eternal life. Eternal life is the experience of knowing God and Jesus (John 17:3) and the purpose of God's law is to teach us how to have that experience through acting in accordance with...

I was responding to him, not you. He is not open to changing his mind, so it seems odd that he would accuse me of that, especially when he doesn't know me.

That incorrectly treats everyone in a group as though we are the same and it was said as if you were open to evidence that I could furnish to convince you that you are wrong.

In Romans 10:5-8, it references Deuteronomy 30:11-20 as the world of faith that we proclaim in regard to saying that God's law is not too difficult for us to obey and that obedience to it brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so choose life! So it was presented...

How else do you think that his audience knew what they should be repenting from doing if not by the Mosaic Law? Do you think that Jesus was fine with them continuing to live in sin or that he wanted them to repent from sin? The New Covenant involves following the Mosaic Law (Jeremiah 31:33)...

A Christian is someone who seeks to follow what Christ taught and Christ taught his followers to obey the Torah by word and by example. I affirm that we should follow what Christ taught and have not said anything against following what he taught, so why do you think that it is incorrect for me...

Christ came as the Jewish Messiah of Judaism in fulfillment of prophecy and he spent his ministry teaching his followers how to practice Judaism in obedience to the Torah by word and by example. In Acts 21:20, they were rejoicing that tens of thousands of Jews were coming to faith in Christ who...

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, 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 of the Kingdom, which is what Jesus...
