You can't quote me as saying that we should cling to the Mosaic Covenant, but rather that is what you keep falsely accusing me of doing. The Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our mind and writing it o our hearts, so by saying that we should be followed the...

No, I am not altering the word of God, but rather I am saying that it would be more accurate to translate the word that Jesus used into English as "rebuild" rather than as "build". For someone to have a character trait means to a doer of that trait. That is not philosophy, but is simply what...

In Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus said that he came not to abolish the law and warned against relaxing the least part of it, so saying that he abolished even the least part of it is calling him a liar and disregarding his warning. Furthermore, in Romans 3:31, Paul confirms that our faith does not...

In Matthew 4, Jesus consistently preceded a quote from what was written by saying "it is written...", but in Matthew 5, he consistently preceded a quote from what the people had heard being said by saying "you have heard that it was said...", so him emphasis on the different form of...

In Romans 7:25-8:2, Paul contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and contrasted the Law of the Spirit with the law of sin and death, so the Law of God is not the law of sin and death, but rather he equated the Law of God with the Law of the. Spirit, after all the Spirit is God. In...

Again, we are not required to follow laws in regard to temple practice when there is no temple in which to practice them. I have not suggest that we should cling to the Mosaic Covenant, but rather I have been speaking about the way to live under the New Covenant, which involves God putting the...

I gave some examples, so I'm not sure why you are ignoring them. Likewise, in 2 Chronicles 30:15-20, Hezekiah prayed for God to pardon everyone who sets his heart to seek God even through they were not acting according to the sanctuary's rules of cleanness and the Lord heard his prayer and...

While we are under the New Covenant and not the Mosaic Covenant, we are nevertheless still under the same God with the same eternal character and therefore the same eternal laws for how to act in accordance with His character. For example, God's righteousness is eternal (Psalms 119:142)...

In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God commanded Him without departing from it, so all of the Law of Moses came from God and are based on His nature, not just ten of its commandments. All of the Law of Moses teaches us how to point to the Messiah, so we should live in a...

While there are certainly night and day differences between how healthy it is to eat clean or unclean animals, God associated it with His holiness, so there is more to it than that. In 1 Peter 1:16, we are told to be holy for God is holy, which is a quote from Leviticus where God was giving...

The New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33), so it is applicable to those living under the New Covenant. In 1 Peter 1:16, we are told to be holy for God is holy, which is a quote from Leviticus where God was giving instructions...

Sin is defined as the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4), which includes God's laws against eating unclean animals (Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14). Furthermore, in Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from God's law, so if Jesus and Paul had done as you suggest, then they were...

About 1/3 of the verses in the NT contain quotes or allusions to the OT, which the NT authors did thousands of times in order to establish that it supported what they said and that they hadn't changed their theology. It is not obedience to God's law that brings wrath, but the refusal to obey...

Jesus is God’s word made flesh, so he shouldn’t be interpreted as overruling God’s word. In Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from God’s law, so if Jesus had tried to overrule it, then he would have sinned and therefore disqualified himself as being our Savior. Likewise, in...

Why would Jesus teach anything other than what he spent his ministry teaching?

The Hebrew word "pachad" refers to the type of fear that causes us to want to run away and hide while the word "yireh" refers to the type of fear that causes us to see and run towards someone. In other words, there is the type of fear where we don't want to be close to someone and the type of...

Part of the command to love our neighbors as ourselves, so part of that is the command to love ourselves. The way to view what our parents created as having no value is by not honoring them while the way to view what our creators created as having great value is by honoring them, so by honoring...

Again, Ezekiel 36:26-27 says that the Spirt has the role of leading us to obey the Mosaic Law. All of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalms 119:160), so the Mosaic Law will never be abolished, which means that Ephesians 2:15 is not referring to Mosaic Law. The Bible does not use the Greek...

It is absurd to think that the Word of God's will for my life is to refuse to obey the Word of God. In Acts 5:32, the Spirit has been given to those who obey God, so obedience to God is part of the way to receive the Spirit, however, Galatians 3:1-2 denies that "works of the law" are part of...

Jesus set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law, including keeping the Sabbath holy, and in Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus was inviting people to come to him for rest and to learn from him, not inviting people to come to him for rest and to refuse to learn...
