Why is it people can read the Bible and still look for salvation that is God's righteous manifested through the Law?

“The law is a witness to the truth”
I thought scripture says you’ll know them by their fruits?
Fruit is love, peace, joy, etc.....They're not mutually exclusive. How does one know to distinguish between fruit and sin? The law instructs us in what is sin, and what is not. The Spirit confirms the witness of the law because the law is spiritual.
" What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! We know that the law is spiritual". Rom7:7:14
Your post implied there known by not gathering sticks on Saturday,They're not mutually exclusive. How does one know to distinguish between fruit and sin? The law instructs us in what is sin, and what is not. The Spirit confirms the witness of the law because the law is spiritual.

Why are some people so compelled to bear false witness? Could it be that justifying sin causes one to sin all the more? Could that be why Christ refers to it as "an abomination"?Why is it people can read the Bible and still look for salvation that is God's righteous manifested through the Law?
And the fruit of the Spirit does not transgress God's law. There is no commandment against keeping God's law.Fruit is love, peace, joy, etc.....
Your post implied there known by not gathering sticks on Saturday,
Agreed.And the fruit of the Spirit does not transgress God's law. There is no commandment against keeping God's law.
Therefore those who transgress God's law continue to sin. Those who do so willingly will have no recourse to Christ's sacrifice under the New Covenant as "there remains no more sacrifice for sin" Hebrews 10:26.Agreed.
Please repost this so that it may be understood. This is incoherent.
You say our not gathering twigs on Saturday is a witness to truth. I say the fruit of the Spirit is the witness of Christ in us.You wouldn't. But again, the law is a witness to the truth, and if you think you can ignore God's law, then you obviously don't have them written on your heart to begin with. You're deceived.
Where did you learn of these laws?Therefore those who transgress God's law continue to sin. Those who do so willingly will have no recourse to Christ's sacrifice under the New Covenant as "there remains no more sacrifice for sin" Hebrews 10:26.
This spotlights the fact that one is either damned, or they are not a new creation, but still deceived in their sins.
You say our not gathering twigs on Saturday is a witness to truth.
I say the fruit of the Spirit is the witness of Christ in us.
So, where did you learn of these laws?False. Strawman argument. You are ignoring my post, or simply haven't comprehended it at all.
And there can be no sin in Christ. Sin, as defined by the bible, is transgression of God's law. You justify transgressing God's law which Christ himself states is an abomination. There can be no fruit of the Spirit in transgressing God's law. Only the lust of the flesh causes one to transgress God's law. Those who walk after the Spirit do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. They do not sin, nor do they redefine sin to justify themselves.
As Jesus would say, "Haven't you read what it says in the book of Moses"? If you don't have the ears to hear what Moses and the prophets have to say, you will not be persuaded even if someone were to rise from the dead. Luke 16:31Where did you learn of these laws?
Lol, okay thanks.As Jesus would say, "Haven't you read what it says in the book of Moses"? If you don't have the ears to hear what Moses and the prophets have to say, you will not be persuaded even if someone were to rise from the dead. Luke 16:31
"The Spirit breathes where he will. You hear the sound of his voice, but you have no clue where it is coming from or where it is going. So too are those who are born of the Spirit". They look but can't see, they listen, but can't hear, nor can they understand...

oh no...not ANOTHER thread on this...there have been so many...and some still going ...Nothing new, same ol' same ol' arguments ..
Same old soup, just a different spoon.
From what I have been told the OT Jewish Calendar and the calendar we use today is not in sync with each other....also there are many people who keep everyday as Holy unto the Lord....and the "rest" isn't that what we enter when we are saved? We enter into His Rest....and finally do you really think God will deny us passage into heaven because we gathered in an assembly to worship Him on Sunday, or Monday or whatever day? Isn't it the heart of man that will be judged?
I have strong issues with church doctrines that teach people are in danger of being judged because of a day with which the come together to Worship His Holy Name.
No. There are God's laws, and then there are the ordinances that are "against us" Why? Because they are a set of laws explicitly for dealing with transgressions of God's law. e.g. Those "laws that were added because of transgressions", "the penalty", or "curse" of the law.
Passover was not a feast to begin with. He is referring to the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
So it isn't the Feast days themselves that are done away with, but the sacrificial offerings that were carried out.
