In Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law in contrast with saying that he came to abolish it, so you should not interpret fulfilling the law as meaning essentially the same thing as abolishing it. Rather, to fulfill the law means "to cause God's will (as made known through...

The Mosaic Law does not command to execute gays, but to execute those who have homosexual sex, though again, I have never witnesses anyone doing that, it requires the witnesses to throw the first stone, it requires that no one is to be put to death without at least two or three witnesses, it...

How is that out of context? Do you think hat those who do not stand firm to the end will also be saved? 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 nations, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience...

Please address what I said instead of making things up.

The New Covenant was only made with the house of Judah and the house of Israel (Jeremiah 31:31), so it is only by becoming joined to Israel through faith in Christ that Gentiles are able to become partakers of the New Covenant, which involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing...

Indeed, grace is a gift and gifts are incompatible with works done to earn a result (Romans 11:6), however, works can be done for other reasons that are compatible with grace, which is why there are many other verses that connect grace with works. In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false...

Why are you lying about me evading your question? In Psalms 40:8, God has made His will known through the Mosaic Law, and in Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus said that only those who do the will of the Father will enter the Kingdom of Heaven while he will tell those who are workers of lawlessness to...

In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, which includes the command to keep the Sabbath holy. Likewise, the NT calls for us to repent from our sin and it is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of what sin is (Romans...

Why do you continue to ask the same question while ignoring my answer?

No. No. In Genesis 4:7, God told Cain told that sin was crouching at the door and that he must master it, so we can infer that God had already instructed His law to him even though it is not recorded when God did that. For example, it is not recorded that God commanded Him to refrain from...

The fact that Jesus is King of the Jews does not say imply that he was not King of Israel, but rather being King of Israel includes being King of the Jews, which is not insulting to Jesus. We can acknowledge that "Jew" originally referred to someone who was from the southern kingdom of Judah...

How about addressing what I've said instead of throwing out accusations? Even if I were the biggest hypocrite in the word, then that would just mean that I would need to repent, not that I was wrong about the fact that followers of God should follow what God has commanded, so those are...

The law does not command me to do that, but rather it requires for the witnesses to be the ones who throw the first stones, for no one to be put to death without at least two or three witnesses, and for a judge to do a thorough investigation into the matter. Jesus gave himself to pay the...

While I agree that Scripture can be used to support opposing views, I don't see the point of all of the verses that exhort us to continue to the end or that warn against falling away if that were not possible or if we don't have a choice in the matter. While God wants everyone to be saved, He...

The issue of whether the Jews who wanted Jesus crucified appreciated Pilate's honesty is completely irrelevant to the point that I was making, so please address my point.

Indeed. It is God's law, not my law. God's law is God's word and it is contradictory for you to want to stick with God's word made flesh instead of sticking to God's word. In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting His law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, so those who...

You're welcome. I believe that nothing from the outside can pluck us from the Father's hand, but we can choose to remove ourselves. Our salvation is not something that is lost or regained every time that we sin or repent or that can be unintentionally lost, but is based on choosing to be an...

There can be no good reason to doubt that something happened even if it is not directly stated that it happened. That's the point. Indeed, though the fire could be left burning. There are ways of staying warm that do not require a fire. In James 2:1-11, he was speaking to people who had...

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 the law that he was referring to as not being under. For example, in Romans 7:25-8:2, he contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and...

All of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalms 119:160) and Ephesians 2:14-16 is referring to a law that is not eternal, therefore it is not referring to God's law. God did not make any mistakes when He gave the law, so He had no reason to abolish His own laws. God did not give any laws for...
