I'll answer in the morning, God willing. I'm off to sleep.

Idk if you're in Israel, but I'm not--it's late so I'll be off!

Right, you get to say they were incorrect, and that's what I'm saying : Jesus never followed their authority, because He said they were wrong. Lol He WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to break their traditions to show His burning hatred for how they falsely represented God--breaking God's Laws IN THE NAME OF...

And how do they keep it? Because the New Covenant is God writes it on the heart. That's the point : we can be doers of the Law without the Law. God said eat non kosher food. He went and did it, and the Jewish believers took issue with it understandably. Lol You must not be familiar with the...

Nope, the Gentiles were doers of Law without knowing God's "command", so the issue wasn't about that. If it were, Paul wouldn't have said men were free to observe or not observe a day (God had commanded observance of many days). God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith (Ro 1:17)...

Nope, Jesus broke their traditions, and His disciples broke their traditions, just like their Master, with impunity, and Jesus intentionally commanded a man to break their traditions (Jn 5), as I've proven--thus, the only coherent way to read "do as they say but not as they do" is that Jesus was...

Do not speak about topics you know nothing about. Romans 2 13For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous. 14Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to...

Bottom line: Jesus REJECTED their words and REJECTED their pretense of "authority from God". Jesus DID NOT follow their words, and DID NOT have His disciples follow their words. Therefore, when He says "do all they say but don't do as they do" He was being sarcastic. He did not follow, and...

Exodus 12 49There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you. When the issue between Jewish and Gentile believers' beliefs on how to live before God arose in the Roman Church, Paul resolved it with "each man is to be fully convinced in his own mind": God's...

Precedent: the Gentile believers are "doers of the Law" without even knowing the Law, because the Spirit writes the Law on their hearts. Conclusion: Christians don't need the Law to be deemed "doers of the Law". Why? "God's righteousness is revealed apart from the Law": Jesus's Name is "God Is...

You must not have read: Matthew 15 1Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.” 3Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your...

Yep, Paul, inspired by the Spirit of God, deems the Gentile believers, "who do not have the Law", "doers of the Law" (they are doers of the Law without even knowing the Law), because they reveal God's righteousness (not their own) by walking in faith (Ro 1:17, 14:5, 23), in Romans 2, so there's...

Jesus, directed by God, went out of His way to command a man to break the Jewish religious "authorities" Sabbath rules. John 5 8Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.” 9Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the...

Oops! Jesus, Himself, rejected their oral law as false, quoting Isaiah, "In vain do they worship Me" "they draw near with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me", and rejected their pretense of "God-ordained" authority (Matthew 15): He was being sarcastic when He said "do everything they...

Faith in God's testimony about His Son is already "doing the thing God wants you to do" ("obedience of faith", "law of faith"), and the reason is that all righteousness is is revealing the truth about God--when you say "God is true", you are already revealing the truth about God, thus "doing...

Agreed, faith is counted as righteousness, and "the Law was not made for the righteous", so we're not under Law; after we receive Grace, our walking in faith reveals God's righteousness (Ro 1:17), not "our own from the [the knowledge of good and evil]" (Pp 3:9), thus the movements of our lives...

Since unrighteousness is a suppression of the truth about God (Ro 1:18,19), the flip side of the same coin would be that righteousness is a revelation of the truth about God : when God speaks about Himself, and we adhere to the Word God spoke (ie, God's Gospel about His Son), we are saying, "God...

This presentation makes some pretty persuasive arguments that they indeed are of the 10 Lost Tribes.

I did do the work. Your reply was, "I know that no one else agrees with my view of the Scriptures on this issue, but the reason all the teachers and commentaries (even those written by people who agree with OSAS, the view I'm trying to preserve) disagree must be because the bookstores, who sell...

I will share my "take" on the issue of "faith vs works". Walking by faith is not "works". "Works" is "a righteousness of my own"; walking in faith is God's righteousness (Ro 1:17; 14:5,23). "I was abundant in labors above them all, yet, not I, but the grace with me." "I have been crucified...
