If you interpret 3/4 of the NT in a way that makes its authors out to be false prophets, then you can argue in favor of crossing it out if you want, but it would be better for you to conclude that you must have misinterpreted them and to look for a way of interpreting them that reconciles them...

Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Torah by word and by example, so he is the man of lawfulness, which is in contrast with the Antichrist, who is the man of lawlessness (2 Thessalonians 2:3). In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Torah in our...

I did not disagree with the Scriptures that you posted but rather I interacted with them to explain why I do not think that they should be interpreted as speaking against being under the Torah. According to Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to recognize that someone is a false prophet...

I've not said anything contrary to those verses. The Torah does not have the power to cause us to embody it, but rather in order to embody it we need to help of the one who is the embodiment of it. Someone having a circumcised heart only refers to them being a doer of the Torah (Deuteronomy...

Part 2/2 According to Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to recognize that someone is a false prophet is if they speak against obeying the Torah, so if you agree that Paul was a servant of God, then you should arguing against your position that he spoke against obeying it, but if you...

Part 1/2 While I agree that everything that Jesus spent his ministry teaching by word and by example was in regard to how to walk in obedience to the Torah under the Mosaic Covenant, the reason why Jesus did established the New Covenant was not for the purpose of nullifying anything that he...

God has not commanded anything that is not in accordance with walking in the Spirit, but rather God's character traits are the fruits of the Spirit and the Torah was given in order to teach us how to embody His character traits, which is why the Spirit has the role of leading us to obey it...

I cite verses to support what say because I am inviting people to look them up. In Galatians 4:4, Jesus was born under the Torah, and in Luke 2:21, Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day as a member of the Mosaic Covenant, so he was obligated to obey obey it, and the fact that he was sinless...

In Matthew 1:21, Jesus saves us from our sin, and in Romans 3:20, it is by the Torah that we have knowledge of what sin is (Romans 3:20), so Jesus graciously teaching us to experience being a doer of it is intrinsically the way that he is giving us his gift of saving us from not being a doer of...

The reason why the commandments to love God and our neighbor are the greatest two commandments is because they are inclusive of all of the other commandments, which is why Jesus said that all of the other commandments hang on them (Matthew 22:36-40), so love does not go beyond what Gos has...

Something is not from the spirit of the Antichrist just because you disagree with it. The Hebrew word “yada” refers to intimate relationships/knowledge gained by experience, such as with Genesis 4:1 where Adam knew (yada) Eve, she conceived, and gave birth to Cain. God’s way is the way to know...

Jesus did not come to free us from the law in order to become doers of what it reveals to be sin, but rather said that he came to call sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32). In Titus 2:14, it does not say that Jesus gave himself to free us from the Law of Moses, but rather he gave himself to free...

In Psalm 119:29-30, it says that he wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Torah and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so what grounds do you have for accusing me of twisting that? In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to...

How so? Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Torah by word and by example, so he is the man of lawfulness, which is in contrast with the Antichrist, who is the man of lawlessness (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

If God had saved the Israelites out of bond in Egypt in order to put them under bondage to the Torah, then it would be for bondage that God sets us free, however, Galatians 5:1 says that it is for freedom that God sets us free, so you are not correctly identifying what Paul was speaking against...

Some people treat Christianity as if Jesus had come to start a different religion, but he came as the Jewish Messiah of Judaism in fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and he spent his ministry teaching his followers how to practice Jesus by setting a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the...

It would contradictory for the Torah to something that our faith upholds and something that is not of faith, so "works of the law" can't refer to the Torah. God is trustworthy, therefore the Torah is also trustworthy (Psalm 19:7), so the way to trust in God is by obediently trusting in God's...

The New Covenant still involves following the Torah (Jeremiah 31:33, Ezekiel 36:26-27). None of God's covenants involve switching to a different religion.

Jesus set a perfect example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism by walking in sinless obedience to the Torah and as his followers we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way that he walked (1 John 2:6), so...

God’s way is the way to know Him and Jesus through embodying His character traits, which is the narrow way to eternal life (John 17:3). In Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his house to walk in His way by being doers of righteousness and justice that...
