Again, Judaism is the religion that is based on following the Torah and that is the religion that Jesus set a sinless example for us to practice. The harshest criticisms of the members of a group tend to come from other members of that group because they care the most about its reputation, so...

Judaism is the religion based on following the Torah. The oral Torah is in regard to how to follow the Torah, so following it does not involve following a separate religion. Many Jews have never read the Talmud or don't consider it to be authoritative. There are some who practice Judaism as...

Please cite where Jesus said that. Jesus and the Jews that he spent his ministry interacting with were all under the Mosaic Covenant, so everything that he spent his ministry teaching up until he established the New Covenant at the end of his ministry was in regard to how to live under the...

It would be impossible for someone to follow the Torah without following traditions for how to follow it. There are many issues that would naturally arise for a nation that has decided to put the Torah into practice, which is why Moses got swamped with questions and had to appoint a system of...

Judaism is the religion that is based on the following the Torah, which God gave to Israel through Moses. In Deuteronomy 5:31-33 Moses wrote down everything that God spoke to him without departing him it, and Jesu said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the...

In Psalm 119:29, he wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Torah, which means that the Mosaic Covenant is a covenant of grace and law. Likewise, Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to walk in His way that he and Israel might know Him, and...

I did not say that. The fact that we can have our sins forgiven demonstrates that we are not required to have perfect obedience. The only reason why someone would need to have perfect obedience is if they are going to give themselves to pay for the sins of the world - the rest of us can...

Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and sin is the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3:4), so him graciously teaching us to experience being a doer of it is intrinsically what it means for him to save us from not being a doer of it. The only way to acquire a character trait is...

Grace is a gift and gifts can’t be earned, so grace is incompatible with Law insofar as it is obeyed in order to earn a wage, however, there can be other reasons for obeying the Law that are compatible with grace. For example, the content of a gift can be the experience of getting to do...

I’ve already told you the answer to those questions multiple times, but you aren’t interested in answers.

Some treat Christianity as if Jesus had come to start a separate religion, but he came as the Jewish Messiah of Judaism in fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and he set a perfect example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism by walking in sinless obedience to the Torah. In Acts 21:20, they...

In James 2:1-11, he was speaking to people who had sinned by committing favoritism, so he was not telling them that they needed to have perfect obedience because that would have already been too late and he was not discouraging them from trying to keep it, but rather he was encouraging them to...

Some of God's laws appear to conflict with each other, such as with God commanding to rest on the Sabbath while also commanding priests to make offerings on the Sabbath (Numbers 28:9-10), however, it was not the case that priests were forced to sin by breaking one of the two laws no matter what...

In Isaiah 45:17, it says that all of Israel shall be saved, so it is easy to see how someone might think that means that Jews are saved by being Jews and that Gentiles need to become Jews in order to become saved, which involves circumcision. It was Jesus who was all about the Torah by setting...

Let me know when you're interested in having a conversation rather than a gotcha.

I did not say that.

I think that I've made it abundantly clear that someone can't be executed in accordance with the Torah without a Sanhedrin and that it would be unjust to enforce a penalty that Jesus has already been paid. What does that even have to do with the issue of whether followers of Christ should...

Deuteronomy 17:8-13 If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge—whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults—take them to the place the Lord your God will choose.9 Go to the Levitical priests and to the judge who is in office at that time. Inquire of them and they will...

No one is to be put to death without due process, no exceptions.

The Torah does not command us to kill anyone without due process.
