    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    Being under God's Word made flesh does not remove our obligation to obey God's Word. In Romans 3:21-22, the only way to become righteous that is testified about in the Law of and the Prophets is through faith in Christ for all who believe, so there are not two different types of righteousness...

    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    Do ecumenical creeds, Christian Church since early times and the New Testament take the position that Jesus was correct in Matthew 4:4 that Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God? If so, then why do you think that Jesus should be...

    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    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 Gentiles, and the Law of Moses 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...

    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    Jesus set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Law of God, so he was much more zealous for obedience to it than the Pharisees were and it is absurd to interpret that verses as Jesus criticizing them teaching people to do what God commanded them to do.

    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    The way to come to God's Word made flesh is not by rejecting God's Word. Christ fulfilled the Law of God by teaching his followers how to correctly obey it by word and by example and the way to come to him is not by refusing to follow what he taught. God's character traits are the fruits of...

    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    Someone who disregarded everything that their schoolmaster taught them after they graduated would be missing the whole point of a schoolmaster. God's Word leads us to God's Word's Word made flesh because it is His instructions for how to know him, but it does not lead us to him so that we can...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    Do ecumenical creeds, Christian Church since early times and the New Testament affirm the truth of everything in the Bible as Scripture? If so, then no part should be interpreted as contradicting another part. Did the Apostates treat the Psalms as being an authoritative source? If so, then...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    Do ecumenical creeds, Christian Church since early times and the New Testament support the position that the Psalms express a correct view of obeying the Torah that the Jesus and the Apostles were in agreement with? Do ecumenical creeds, Christian Church since early times and the New Testament...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    What does your response have to do with answering my yes or no question? Do you think that Jesus and the Apostles took the position that we should only follow what they said but not what they considered to be an authoritative source? In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    It is not a cult. Do you believe that the Psalms express a correct view of obeying the Torah that the Jesus and the Apostles were in agreement with? Jesus and the Apostles quoted from the OT hundreds of times in order to support what they were saying, so it doesn't work for orthodox...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    It is short for Messianic Judaism. Some treat Christianity as if Christ had come to start his own religion separate from Judaism, however, he came as the Jewish Messiah of Judaism in fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and he spent his ministry teaching how to practice Judaism by setting a sinless...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    I'm Messianic. I sowed that Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Law of Moses by word and by example, so why is Christian teaching opposed to following what Christ taught? Christ notably did not begin is his message with the Gospel message to stop repenting because the...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    The Mosaic Law was given to Israel in order to equip them to be a light and a blessing to the Gentiles by turning them from their wickedness and by teaching them to obey it in accordance with the promise and with spreading the Gospel of the Kingdom/Grace. If the Mosaic Law was only mean for...

    Saved, what is it & why the confusion as to how ?

    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 the Gentiles, and the Law of God was how his audience knew what sin is, so repenting from our disobedience is central part of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which Paul...

    They are reflections of each other. What your point?

    THE TEN COMMANDMENTS SUMMARIZE THE MOSAIC COVENANT

    The first five of Ten Commandments are based on the same principles as the last five, but are expressed differently in regard to our vertical relationships with our creators or with our horizontal relationships with our neighbor, and these five principles are expounded upon throughout the rest...

    Does the Old Testament teach a pagan religion that Jesus came to overthrow?

    In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus commissioned his disciples to teach to the nations everything that he taught them. Sin is the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3:4), so the position Jesus was sinless is the position that he never broke the Sabbath while the position that Jesus broke the...
