Maybe you should start your own thread on the topic, "Share your God given revelations", where you and others share your "God given revelations".
What is a waist of your time is to point to all the accusations you make with references, because you can't. That's why its a waist of your time. You just want to remain the accuser of the brethren without care. You stated it perfectly in your last post.
Sounds good. I invite you to place me on ignore since you find me so objectionable. You're just another woman without any ability to have any reason in your mind. You just mindlessly chatter, making no sense, all emotions, all senseless ignorance, all disorderly. Yeah, you know the Lord, but you don't have a clue about the Bible (the topic). There's a reason you women are NEVER to teach men.
You talk like a woman lol so emotional and irrational
God's righteousness is eternal (Psalms 119:142), therefore all of God's righteous laws are also eternal (Psalms 119:160). The way to act in accordance with God's righteousness is straightforwardly based on His righteousness, not on a particular covenant, so any instructions that God has ever given for how to act in accordance with His eternal righteousness are eternally valid regardless of which covenant someone is under, if any. The only way that eternal laws for how to act in accordance with God's eternal righteousness can be nullified is by first nullifying God's eternal righteousness.
The Bible never lists which are the moral laws and never even refers to that as being a category of law. The existence of the moral law would imply that we can be acting morally while disobeying laws that aren't in that category, however, there is no example in the Bible of disobedience to any of God's laws being considered to be moral and I do not see justification for thinking that it can be moral to disobey God. Morality is in regard to what we ought to do and we ought to obey God, so all of God's laws are inherently moral laws. Legislators give laws according to what they think ought to be done, so for someone to claim that some of God's laws are not moral laws is to claim that God made a moral error about what ought to be done when He gave those laws, and therefore to claim to have greater moral knowledge than God.
Indeed, the God of Israel has given instructions for how to know, love, worship, believe in, and testify about Him, so anyone who is interested in doing those things should follow those instructions. Bible repeatedly refers to the Mosaic Law as being God's way and followers of the God of Israel should walk in His way.
Indeed, in Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus specifically said that he came not to abolish the law and warned against relaxing the least part of it or teaching others to relax the least part of it. Likewise, in Romans 3:31, Paul confirmed that our faith does not abolish God's law, but rather our faith upholds it. In Deuteronomy 13:1-5, the way that God instructed His children to determine that someone is a false prophet who is not speaking for Him is if they teach against obeying His law, so that does not leave us any room to follow someone who teaches that the least part of it has been annulled, which is why the NT should not be interpreted as saying that.
God's nature is eternal, so the way to act in accordance with His nature existed before the creation of man. In John 15:10, Jesu used a parallel statement to equate his commands with those of the Father, and in John 14:23-24, Jesus said that if we love him, then we will obey his instructions, if we do not love him, then we will not obey his instructions, and that his instructions are not his own, but that of the Father, so he did not teach his own laws. In Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to subtract from God's law, so Jesus did not do that.
In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel message. Furthermore, Jesus set a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law and we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who abide in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked (1 John 2:6). So Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example and he did not establish the New Covenant for the purpose of undermining anything that he spent his ministry teaching, but rather the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). I don't see a good reason to think that following the Law of Christ is something other than or contrary to following what Christ taught.
Galatians should not be interpreted as speaking against obeying what Christ taught.
In Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from the Mosaic Law, so Jesus did not do that. In Matthew 4, Jesus consistently proceeded a quote from what was written by saying "it is written...", but in Matthew 5, he consistently proceeded a quote from what the people had heard being said by saying "you have heard that it was said...", so his emphasis on the form of communication is important. Jesus was not sinning by making changes to the Mosaic Law, but rather he was fulfilling it by correcting what the people had heard being taught and by teaching how to correctly obey it as it was originally intended.
All throughout the Bible, God wanted His people to repent and to return to obedience to the Mosaic Law, and even Christ because his ministry with that Gospel message, so it would be absurd to interpret Galatians 5:4 as Paul warning us against following Christ and saying that we will be cut off from Christ if we follow him. In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Mosaic Law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this is what it means to be under grace, and this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith. It would again be absurd to interpret that as saying that he wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him how to fall from grace.
The God of Israel gave instructions to the Israelites for how to know, love, worship, believe in, and testify about Him, so anyone who wants to do those things should voluntarily follow those instructions regardless of their contractual obligations. Furthermore, those instructions were given to Israel in order to equip Israel to be a light and a blessing to the nations by turning the nations from their wickedness and teaching them to obey it in accordance with the promise and with spreading the Gospel.
In Romans 6:19-23, we are no longer to present ourselves as slaves to impurity, lawlessness, and sin, but are now to present ourselves as slaves to God and to righteousness leading to sanctification and the goal of sanctification is eternal life in Christ, which is the gift of God, so being an obeyer of the Mosaic Law is the content of God's gift of eternal life, and Romans 7:1-6 should not be interpreted in a way that contradicts the preceding verses. In Romans 7:1-3, at no point was the woman set free from needing to obey the Mosaic Law, so there is nothing that leads to the conclusion in verse 4 that in the same way we have been set free from obeying it. God's word is His instructions for how to be unified with God's word made flesh and would be absurd to think that we need to die to God's word in order to become unified with him. Likewise, it would be absurd to think that we need to die to God's instructions for how to bear fruit for Him in order to be free to bear fruit for Him.
According to Deuteronomy 27-28, relying on the Mosaic Law is the way to be blessed while not relying on it is the way to be cursed, so Galatians 3:10 should not be interpreted as Paul quoting from those chapters in order to support a point that is arguing against them by saying that relying on it is the way to be cursed while not relying on it is the way to avoid being cursed. Rather, the way to come under the curse is by not relying on the Mosaic Law, so those who rely on works of the law instead of relying on the Mosaic Law come under that curse. God is trustworthy, therefore His instructions are also trustworthy (Psalms 19:7), so the way to rely on God is by obediently relying on His instructions, it is contradictory for someone to think that we should rely on God, but not on His instructions, and for someone to interpret that as speaking against relying on God's instructions is to interpret that as speaking against relying on God.
The purpose of the barbarity of crucifixion was to act as a deterrent, so the Romans wanted to make sure that everyone knew what someone was being crucified, which is why they would nail a handwritten ordinance to their cross that announce what they had been charged with. In Matthew 27:37, they nailed a sign to Christ's cross that announce the charge that was against him that he was the King of the Jews, so that is likely also how his followers knew that the people who were crucified with him were thieves. This fits perfectly with the concept with a sign that lists the sins that we have been charged with being nailed to Christ's cross and him dying in our place to pay the penalty for our sins, but has nothing to do with nailing laws themselves the cross. For example, they didn't have to legislate a new law against committing murder every time someone was crucified for committing murder. In Titus 2:14, it does not say that Jesus gave himself to free us from any laws, but in order to free 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 God's law is the way to believe in what Jesus accomplished through the cross (Acts 21:20).
You obey all the Law? You execute gays? Adulterers? Rebellious children? Those who work on weekends?
I don't know if you have observed, as I have, that there is no amount of evidence you can show "Torah Observant" Christians that will ever convince them that they don't know what they're talking about (they view and worship themselves as "masters of Scripture", so they will suffer nothing to bring an end to that illicit indulgence), but, no matter what, the guy isn't going to change his mind.
In Matthew 27:11, Jesus affirmed that it was as he said, however, my point in citing Matthew 27:37 was not to discuss whether he or anyone else thought he was the King of the Jews, but rather my point was that they nailed a sign to his cross that announced the charge that was against him. The did not nail the laws themselves to people crosses, but a list of the violations of the law that they had been charged with committing, which fits perfectly with the list of our violations of God's law that we have been charged with committing being nailed to Christ's cross and with him dying in our place to pay the penalty for our sins, but has nothing to do with nailing any of God's laws to the cross.
I obey God's law. God's law does not instruct me to go around executing anyone that I think has violated certain laws, but rather it instructs for the witnesses to bring accused people before a judge who does a through investigation, for no one to be put to death without at least two or there witnesses, for the witnesses to throw the first stone, and for the penalty to be applied to the witnesses instead if they falsely accuse someone. Furthermore, Jesus gave himself to pay the penalty of our sins, so it would be unjust the enforce a penalty that has already been paid.
Most of the Torah observant Christians were initially taught against being Torah observant, which shows that we can be persuaded by the evidence to change our minds, which makes it odd that you would claim that about those who are Torah observant, especially if you have never changed your mind on the topic. Likewise, it seems odd for you to claim that we worship ourselves as masters of Scripture because we are not persuaded by your mastery of Scripture.
Well, most gays weren't gay, but were changed by life circumstances, but most gays don't change back, because homosexuality is a powerful delusion/illicit desire.
