I am justified by Faith in Jesus Christ. Not sure where you got the idea that I'm asserting anything else. The Law if for the knowledge of sin and convicts both the unsaved and the wayward saved person of their sin, to lead them to repentance. If you don't care for righteous behaviour then...

Irrelevant since I'm not claiming that righteousness comes by the Law. Irrelevant since I'm not claiming that justification come by the Law. No heresies here. Galatians 3:24 is Truth. Amen. I'm under Christ. Paul's admonition for the saved person here is to resist sin...

Is Deuteronomy 22:5 embedded in the Law of Christ, as you see it?

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated. If you wouldn't mind, could you please withhold from posting loaded questions. I'm your Brother in Christ and I mean you no harm. Your quotes from Galatians 5 and from 1st Corinthians 6 shed no light on the matter of a man dressing...

Respectfully, I ask that you discontinue the use of loaded statements. They are not conducive to discussion. You're quite right. According to Mat 5:17-20 "fulfilling" the law would necessarily also mean fulfilling the "utterances of the prophets". There are hundreds of prophecies as yet...

It's not Scriptural. The sceptre departed from Judah in AD 6-7 effectively ending the theocracy, the kingdom of Judah, and removing by force their right to enforce certain laws. This did not affect most laws, for example, the commandments pertaining to the Lord's Passover. No. I'm not. The...

I'm not seeing an answer to my question here...???

You: "Which package and what era?" Answer: THE Law. Christ made reference to it over and over again, for example Mat 5:17. Your statement about law and grace is gratuitous. I do not suppose that anyone who walks in the Spirit is 'under' the Law. Paul kept the Law - "While he answered...

Ah, I'm not seeing an answer to my question here oyster.

Not sure what this kind of equivocating is supposed to achieve. The question pertains to THE Law as expounded in the Torah. If you were following the thread you would have seen that the discussion centered around Luke's account of the observance of the Passover and Paul's reference (1st Cor...

Paul taught "liberty", but did this liberty point to a setting aside of the Law? - "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." (Rom 3:31) "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." (Rom 7:12) "While he answered for...

No 'jumping to conclusions' required. Just weighing the evidence at hand. The various points of view expressed in this thread can be categorized roughly in the following way: 1) The entire OT is no longer relevant to God's people, thus "law" in the NT points to a 'new law' which some call the...

I'm certain you knew I was referring to the Luke account, and specifically Luke 22:16. Citing Mat 26:29 is a strawman. Your last statement about communion is gratuitous. Without controversy Luke 22:19 and 1st Cor 11:24-25 are speaking of the Passover (See Luke 22:15).

Your argument is wrong-headed. You're essentially arguing that because you have the Spirit of Christ and can make mistakes that the men of the Jerusalem council, who also had the Spirit of Christ, could get things wrong - therefore - they got their judgement in Acts 15 wrong. In light of 2 Tim...

We don't disagree on what you've said here. But that's not what I'm asking you about. Let me ask another way. If Christ is THE passover lamb (and, He is) who, in fulfillment of Leviticus 23:4-8, was crucified on the day of passover, has permanently set aside the commandment to observe the...

With respect, nowhere in 2nd Corinthians 3 is the 'new ministration' said to be at odds with the 'old ministration' with the exception of the ministrations' effectiveness and persistent glory. Nowhere is the content of God's commandments altered. Paul is clarifying that the letter without the...

I agree with you that "christian" churches ought to take heed to the plain reading of the Scriptures, especially Romans 1. Simply reading and believing the Scriptures solves most 'christian' problems. However, your citing of Romans 1 doesn't quite address the matter raised. You mentioned the...

I'm with you. Mat 5:17-20 indicates that the Law is NOT abolished, certainly not until ALL is fulfilled. The term "law" that Christ is using in v18 is a contracted form of the noun phrase "the law and the prophets" alluded to in v17. In other words "the law" often refer to the books of the...

Define "love", so we know we're on the same page. Pro Tip: John's first epistle.
