Behold doesn't arrive at thought through study, he just rattles off whatever nonsense he's been told--no need to point out what Scripture says.

That guy has lots of people on his ignore list. Reminds me of the Pharisees. Sad. Every thread he engages in (or a striking number I've seen) he is putting someone on his ignore list.

Quit scrawling your empty graffiti on the thread. It's rude. Go dump your brains out on your own threads. This thread has an OP. Engage the OP or scram.

No, actually, none of this helps explain why faith is righteousness.

You just rattle off the typical fare, and don't even bother with the actual material of the OP.

This is not mutually exclusive with what was stated.

God's "righteousness" is that He forgives our sins, glorifying Christ, His Word. 1 John 1 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It is a righteous thing God does--God does the right thing--when He forgives us...

Peter was not to call the non-kosher animals he saw "common". Acts 10:15 V-PMA-2S GRK: σὺ μὴ κοίνου NAS: no [longer] consider unholy. KJV: not thou common. INT: you not call unholy Paul uses the same word in Romans 14, so we can know this can refer to the same type of non-kosher foods...

No, lying was actually how Rahab was justified. It was, in her case, an act of faith. "Love fulfills the law because love does no harm to one's neighbor" (Ro 13:8-10). Bearing false witness against your neighbor is a sin, because you are hurting your neighbor. Paul also told holy...

I did, actually. LOL Everyone (all commentaries, all teachers) agrees with me. You remain unconvinced. That's a force of nature I can't predict.

God's "judgment" is that He gave His Son so that we could live through Him--trust that.

No, he wouldn't have been worried about the Galatians observing days commanded in Torah if that had been the case--and why would Paul have introduced the "one law" to resolve the dispute if it were not that there was a thought that what was going on was in contravention of Ex 12? Clearly, that...

I honestly thought I could get some sleep, but it's escaping me, so I might as well be here. 1. The text says the Gentile believers will be justified by being doers of the Law BY DINT OF THE SPIRIT WRITING THE LAW ON THEIR HEART, the New Covenant promise (Jer 31:31-34), and, as Ezekiel says, "I...

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...
