No, the Law is not a "transcript" of the Spirit. LOL As I have already noted, Christ condemns some Torah laws as "of the evil one" Mt 5, and others as "concessions" Mt 19. You don't know what you're talking about.

Also, you didn't even address the fact that Peter was not "careful" to keep kosher in eating with the Gentile--and his vision SPECIFICALLY was about EATING UNCLEAN FOODS, because God had accepted the Gentiles AS THEY ARE, WITH THEIR DIET, as was later clarified (Gal 2, etc), represented in the...

1. The distinction was enumerated before men ever ate animals, was given for the purpose of sacrifices, so it had nothing to do with eating them; after the flood, God said the fear of man will fall on the creatures, and they will be food for him, so even the Jews recognize the Gentiles were...

1. The Church Council didn't lay that burden on the Gentile believers (Acts). 2. Sabbath commemorates God's resting from creating--being we are "a new creation", God has created anew, so there is a new rest, and we are not bound to the 7th day sabbath, which is why it was never reiterated in the...

Actually, I see it as "the narrow way" Jesus described--each man walking by the convictions God's Holy Spirit has given them to walk by as unto the Lord, in His presence, with peace. It's God, the "all-consuming fire", consuming us--serving God in our very thoughts and spirits, every moment...

1. My view is THE "Gospel" view, nothing less nothing more. 2. I don't really like Kubrick's films (don't "rewatch" them), but there are a few aspects of some of them that I appreciate. I guess you recognize the officer. "Well, well!" It's a reflection of that "moment of reckoning" we have to have.

Number 1 : the Law isn't even entirely in force according to Christ, because He denounces some of its Laws (eg, making and keeping vows, permitted under Torah, He calls "of the evil one" Mt 5, and "any cause" divorce is revealed as having been a mere concession, not God's actual delight Mt 19)...

I actually recently addressed this Law: the "same law for the foreigner and the native-born" is "let each man be fully convinced in his own mind" (Ro 14:5), so that "anything that is not of faith is sin" (Ro 14:23), because "God's righteousness [not our own from the Law Php 3:9] is revealed from...

Yeah, 4:21-31 says those who are under the Law are "in bondage", then, in Galatians 5:1, he says, "do not submit yourselves to a yoke of bondage".

So, similar to myself, it seems, you want people to stick to the topic.

In the few interactions we've had, I have found you to be a dishonest person--I would not even continue with you, except that addressing your dishonesty will provide opportunities for others to learn.

So, what I said stands unaddressed. Jesus Himself did away with parts of the Law. Your issue is with Jesus--of course, also with Paul.

How did the Gentile believers qualify as "doers of the Law" without even knowing the Law (Ro 2:13-16, 26, 27) if your interpretation of Scripture is correct ?

No, actually... Romans 14 14I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Paul teaches that each one's personal conviction is the Law of God they are to live by--for Paul, his conviction from and...

You don't read my answers, so I am on the verge of not continuing in conversation, as it is vain--I said those who walk after the Spirit fulfill the "righteous requirement of the Law".

What I know (and @TonyChanYT can tell us if he feels the same here) is when I make a post I am frustrated when I see people not staying on topic.

He said those who walk after the spirit, who serve not after the oldness of the letter but in newness of the Spirit of Grace ("serve one another by faith"), fulfill the Law's "righteous requirement" (not all of it is required--eg, Jesus called making and keeping of vows "of the evil one" Mt 5...

We really ought to try to stick to the topic.

Paul himself is dead to the Law (Gal 2:19), and teaches Jewish believers the same (Ro 6:14, 7), and Gentile Christians certainly aren't under the Law (never were required to keep it--eg, its dietary restrictions), and Paul reprimands the Gentile Christians in Galatia for being under the Law (eg...

Definitely, Gentile believers aren't--Gentiles never were held to those laws--so, the most anyone could argue from Isaiah 66 would be that Jewish believers would be bound to keep those dietary laws... and there would be ample NT teaching to the contrary.
