Christ said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God, so what sounds do you have for thinking that the Law of Christ is not in perfect accordance with every word that comes from the mouth of God?

In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to the Law of Moses is the free gift of Jesus on the cross and the free gift of...

In 1 John 3:4-10, those who are not doers of righteous works in obedience to the Law of Moses are not born against. In Romans 8:4-14, Paul contrasted those who are born of the Spirit with those who have minds set n the flesh who are enemies of God who refuse too submit to the Law of Moses. In...

I chop up your posts so that your post so that you can more directly see which points I am responding to, but I can refrain from doing that if you'd prefer. I do not see why you can't grant the the content of a gift can be the experience of doing something. For example, I could pay for...

In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God spoke to him without departing from it, which is why the Law of Moses is called the Law of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23). Again, Christ also spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Law...

Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Law of Moses by word and by example, which included saying that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God, so I see no justification for thinking that the Law of Christ is not in perfect...

In Galatians 5:2-6, Paul was speaking against circumcision for the purpose of becoming justified, not saying that it is no longer a marker that defines God's people. If God had saved the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt in order to put them under bondage to His Torah, then it would be for...

Our salvation from sin would be incomplete if we were only saved from the penalty of our sin while we continued to be doers of sin, so there is an aspect of our gift of salvation from sin that we are experiencing in the present by repenting and becoming a doer of the Law of God. Jesus saves us...

Sin is not being a doer of the Torah (Romans 3:20, Romans 7:7, 1 John 2:6), so it would be contradictory for someone to want freedom from not being a doer of the Torah while not wanting to be a doer of the Torah.

While it is true that Abraham was righteous because he believed God (Genesis 15:6), it is also true that he was a doer of righteous works in obedience to the Law of God because he believed God (Genesis 18:19), so the faith by which he was declared righteous was also embodied through his works...

Someone having a circumcised heart only refers to them being a doer of the Torah (Deuteronomy 10:12-16) while someone having an uncircumcised heart only refers to them not being a doer of the Torah (Jeremiah 9:25). In Romans 2:25-29, the way to recognize that a Gentile has a circumcised heart...

If Paul had been speaking against circumcision for any reason and not just against incorrect reasons, then Galatians 5:2 would mean that he caused Christ to be of no value to Timothy when he had him circumcised right after the Jerusalem Council and Christ is of no value to roughly 70% of the men...

Paul was not doing that. Paul also said that circumcision has much value in every way (Romans 3:1-2) and that circumcision conditional has value if we obey the Torah (Romans 2:25-29), so the issue is that circumcision has no innate value and that its value is entirely derived from our obedience...

Someone can be alone apart from the company of other humans while not being alone apart from the company of their pets, so someone can be alone and not alone at the same time in different senses. We are declared righteous by faith alone apart from works done in order to earn it as the result...

Indeed, outside of Colossians 2:14 and Ephesians 2:15, every use of the Greek word "dogma" refers to something other than the Torah, so justification needs to be given for why those verses should be interpreted as referring to the Torah, especially in light of the fact that that would contradict...

Indeed.

You are speaking against followers of Christ following his example of obedience to what God has commanded, so perhaps you should take your own advice. Again, the Bible repeatedly states in both the OT and the NT that the way to love God is by obeying His commandments, so you can deny that all...

The way to love God is by embodying His character traits, so the way to love justice is by being a doer of justice, the way to love holiness is by being a doer of God's instructions for how to be holy as He is holy, and so forth. In other words, the goal of all of the 613 laws is to teach us...

In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God spoke to him without departing from it, which is why the Law of Moses is called the Law of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23. Agreed. Everything in the Law of Moses is either in regard to how to love...
