I live them out as it is Christ who lives in me. Yet imperfectly due to the remaining sin nature. Through the new nature, I have a desire to please Him and through His abiding Spirit, I have the power. Yet, I do not keep any of the 10 as I ought (not perfectly as He did), so yes I sin...

Our 'opinions' of what truly constitutes love also gets in the way of truth (as in the Ecumenical movement...sacrificing truth in the name of 'love').

Basically among true believers... 1 Corinthians 13:9 (NASB) For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NASB) For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

I'll have to figure that out I guess.

However you want to define it...the law stands/is established because the Gospel exalts Christ's righteousness Who was perfect in obedience to the Law. We don't have the necessary obedience, unless you have perfect obedience to the law. Do you have perfect obedience to the law? No? Then how are...

I don't mean to be brash..just curious. Is that your opinion or is that the absolute truth?

Sorry I tried replying point by point, but my new keyboard messed up and lost everything. I am only going to answer one point per post from now on. When it says 'we establish the law through faith (in Christ), it is saying that through faith in Jesus' perfect obedience rather than our...

Right, He fulfilled it. It also means we have died to the law that we may live to righteousness through faith in Jesus. Are you speaking of imputed righteousness or that which is inwardly worked in us? I see it as both. When you make comments like this "This verse does not say Yeshua kept...

I'm sorry to pop your 'rabid hatred party' against those who have other eschatological views other than your own,but I'll have to just put you on ignore, since your attitude has a tough time rising above that of a 3rd grader.

No, I only admit that we have different presuppositions in our approach to Scripture and to pursue this is a Colossal waste of time. And I'm beginning to believe you have an obsession to prove others wrong regardless of the outcome. It's very trollish behavior...not Christian.

No, but I have read enough of Origen to know his Neo-Patonism scares me with all his allegorizing of the text.

I'm sorry but you are mixing law with grace and are still therefore under the curse of the law. John 1:17 (ASV) For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Romans 5:20 (ASV) And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded...

I hope you don't read Scripture like you read my posts...LAST TIME...GOODBYE. (I guess some people thrive on arguing)

I'm well aware of Burgon and his biases against manuscripts other than those that support the KJV. Just not my cup of tea to specialize in.

I realize the one camp embraces them, the other calls them corrupt.

Even if that verse happens to be not part of the original autographs, I believe it is Scriptural. OTOH That 2nd clause of Rom 8:1 obviously does not belong in vs 8:1, otherwise it would contradict Jn 5:24.

(Rom 5:19) For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. We sin because of our old sinful flesh/ old nature, not because fail to obey the law. IOW we sin because by our old nature we are sinners. Attempting to keep the law...

Right. I'm just not sure if you are saying all this in agreement or as a challenge.

The true heart of Protestanism is... Sola Scriptura (by Scripture alone) Soli fide (through faith alone) Soli gratia (by grace alone) Solus Christus (Christ alone) Sol Deo gloria (glory to God alone). Also, I am quite aware of manuscript evidence and schools of thought in that area. But when...

I think you completely misunderstood my point. My point was as Christians even our best EFFORTS at law keeping fall woefully short. We cannot rely on that which is imperfect (our law keeping), but must entrust our lives and hope in the One who perfectly kept the law in our stead.
