I have not suggest that we should keep the Mosaic Covenant, but rather I have been speaking about how to live under the New Covenant, which still involves following the Mosaic Law (Jeremiah 31:33, Ezekiel 36:26-27). Please interact with what I've said about Galatias 5:4 rather than just...

Sin is still the transgression of the Law of Moses in the NT (1 John 3:4). Again, the reason why he established the New Covenant was not in order to nullify anything that he spent his ministry teaching or so that we could continue to have the same lawlessness that caused the New Covenant to be...

Paul taught against circumcision for incorrect reasons, but he was a servant of God, so he did not speak against circumcision for the reasons that God commanded it.

There is a difference between a carnal nature and carnal commands in regard to descendants. In Romans 8:4-7, Paul contrasted those who walk in the Spirit with those who have carnal minds who are enemies of God who refuse to submit to the Law of God. In Galatians 5:16-23, Paul contrasted carnal...

The way to love God is by embodying His character traits, so the way to love justice is by being a doer of justice, the way to love holiness is by being a doer of His instructions for how to be holy as He is holy, and so forth. In other words, the goal of everything that God has commanded is to...

The way to love God is by embodying His character traits, so the way to love justice is by being a doer of justice, the way to love holiness is by being a doer of God's instructions for how to be holy as He is holy, and so forth. In other words, the goal of everything that God has instructed is...

Indeed, everything in Romans 6 is speaking in favor of obedient to the Law of God and against the law of sin, is it bizarre how common it is for people to remove Romans 6:14 from that context as if we are no longer under the Law of God and have been set free to obey the law of sin instead of the...

If it is true that the Gospel calls Gentiles to obey the Law of Moses as I've argued it does (Matthew 4:15-23), then Peter arguing in Acts 15:6-7 that Gentiles had heard and believed the Gospel is in accordance with Acts 15:5. If it is true that the Spirit has the role of circumcising our...

You have quoted from ActIs 15 numerous times and you have insisted that you a right numbers times, but you have not interacted with what I've said about Acts 15 in order to explain why you think it is wrong. In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for...

I quoted 1 Peter 2:21-22 to support the position that we are told to follow Christ's example of refraining from sin and you argued against me. So do you think that following Christ is just for Israel and not for Gentiles? Paul did not oppose Gentiles following God's instructions for how to...

Are you seriously trying to argue that Paul thought Gentile followers of Christ don't need to follow Christ's example of refraining from sin? Do you think that being a follower of Jesus is just for Israel? In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus commissioned his disciples to teach to the nations everything...

In Acts 15, the topic that they were discussing is not whether followers of Christ should follow what he taught, but whether salvation is by grace (Acts 15:11) or by circumcision (Acts 15:1). In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God...

Please interact with what I said rather than just insisting that you are right. The fact that Peter affirmed that Gentiles hard heard and believed a the Gospel that calls for obedience to the Law of Moses is the opposite of proving that Gentiles did not need to obey it. Indeed, Peter arguing...

The issue of what was available in written form is not the same as the issue of what was being transmitted orally.

In Acts 24:14, Paul testified that according to The Way, which they call a sect, he continued to worship the God of their fathers, believing everything laid by by the Torah and written in the Prophets, and the religion that The Way is a sect of is Judaism, so he did not distinguish between...

The Torah did not become lost during the reign of David. Things were certainly passed down orally regardless of when they were written down and losing the scrolls did not mean that there was no one who was following the Torah.

The Gospel that Peter argued that Gentiles had heard and believed calls for obedience to the Law of Moses, which is in accordance with Acts 15:5. In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Law of Moses, and he chose...

It is not absurd to think that Peter was referring to the position of the men from Judea in Acts 15:1 rather than the position of the Pharisees from among the believes in Acts 15:5. I spoke in regard to how Acts 15:5-11 should be interpreted, so simply quoting that passage again while ignoring...

Christ set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law, which included keeping the Sabbath holy, and we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22), that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way that he walked (1 John 2:6), and to be...

In Acts 15:1, men from Judea were wanting to require Gentiles to becoming circumcised in order to become saved. In Acts 15:5, were opposed by Pharisees among the believers who agreed Gentiles should become circumcised and obey the Law of Moses but not in order to become saved, so one one there...
