You've got things WAY mixed up in your head.
Those verses are saying the OPPOSITE of what you are trying to make them say.
Romans 3:28 [FONT="]Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
[/FONT]That is Paul saying the exact OPPOSITE of what you try to make him say.
Romans 3:31 [FONT="]Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
[/FONT]Is this Paul saying to work at the law like Judaism does? No. Paul is not saying follow the law here.
Paul is saying we are dead to the law and we are alive to God by faith. It is this faith that establishes THE SPIRITUAL LAW.
Following the law does not establish the law. Paul tells us this over and over but judaizers can't grasp it.
Romans 9:31-32
[FONT="]31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.[/FONT]
[FONT="]32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Is Paul telling people to follow the law here? No, he isn't. He is saying the same thing he said in Romans 3. A person is justified, a person is righteous, OUTSIDE of the law. Following the law does not cause any of these things.
People who follow the law do not attain to what the law says because they have no ability to do it. But those who are dead to the law and alive to Christ, BY FAITH, do attain to the righteousness of the law. Because it is the work of Christ that causes us to be righteous. It is the work of Christ that causes us to be justified before God.
IF there was a law that could have done any of these things then the Lord Jesus Christ and Paul would have told us.
Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
If you follow the law then you are frustrating Grace. Do you really think that's a good idea? You would rather be under the law than under Grace, Really?[/FONT]

2 Peter 3:17-18
[FONT="]17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.[/FONT]
[FONT="]18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Its kind of weird that judaizers hardly ever post that verse 18 but verse 17 gets posted a lot.
If growing in Grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ is the solution to NOT being led away with the error of the wicked then FRUSTRATING the Grace of God must be pretty close to what the error of the wicked ACTUALLY is.
Galatians 2:19-21[/FONT]
[FONT="]19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.[/FONT]
[FONT="]20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.[/FONT]
[FONT="]21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Looks like frustrating the Grace of God would be to NOT be dead to the law but still try to follow it in your own understanding.
Acts 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
What would be the way in which the Jews would call heresy? It would be Christianity. Being dead to the Law and alive to Christ. It would be not following the law in your own understanding but producing fruit through faith in Christ. That would be heresy to the Jews but it would still fall perfectly in line with the prophets and the law.
1 Corinthians 1:27-31
[/FONT]
[FONT="]27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;[/FONT]
[FONT="]28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:[/FONT]
[FONT="]29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.[/FONT]
[FONT="]30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:[/FONT]
[FONT="]31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.[/FONT]

I understand the word, and Paul says many times to keep the Law, so if in other places he says do not then there is a bigger issue with Paul.

What is fascinating to me is that the serpent's desire was to make Eve disobey God by using God's Own Words. Not all of them mind you, just enough to make its lie seem logical. The Bible says there is no new thing under the sun.
So here we are today, the same serpent with the same desire using the same tactic, using parts of God's Word to make people disobey God. Not all of God's Word mind you, because when you consider all of God's Word, disobedience to God is the reason for His Wrath in the first place. Even Paul knew how essential following God's Instructions are.
Rom. 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Do you keep all 613 commandments of Moses? Of course you don't. You don't even obey the commandments given by Jesus Christ when He was on earth. Have you already sold your possession and given the money to the poor? Of course not! If you had you wouldn't be able to log in.
I am absolutely sure you don't even keep the Sabbath properly, let alone the whole Law.

You have a corrupt bible version so I always have to go back and see what the bible REALLY says when you post.
Romans 7:25 [FONT="]I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
[/FONT]How does that occur? How does someone serve the law of God with their mind but the law of sin with their flesh?
How does a person separate a carnal law from a spiritual law?
Its pretty easy, actually. If you fulfil it in your own flesh and understanding then it is a carnal law.
If you must rely on the Holy Spirit to fulfill it then it is a spiritual law. Paul describes this in Romans 7 but judaizers twist these scriptures like they do with most scripture.
Acts 21:25 [FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]As touching the Gentiles which believe[/FONT][FONT="], we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
I guess if you would have posted this one along with Acts 21:24 it would have been unnecessary for you to keep on with your judaizer nonsense.
[/FONT]Romans 7:12 [FONT="]Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
[/FONT]Yes, so??
Galatians 2:21-22
[FONT="]21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.[/FONT]
[FONT="]22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Your scorn does noting to erase the truth in the post I sent you. There has never been 613 laws that God instructed me to keep. Just more of the cleaver, subtle talk of the serpent. If you would have known the God of the Old Testament, you would know Jesus. As He said "If they don't listen to Moses, they won't listen though One rose from the dead.
How great is God/Jesus in their wisdom and foresight into the mind of man. I am in AWE hourly at what He knew about today all those thousands of years ago. God is truly a Great God..

Everybody keeps some of God’s Commandments, your statement is patently false. But you will not be judged by what others do, you will be judged by what you do. Preaching that Paul taught against following God’s Instruction is a falsehood designed to turn people away from the God of the Bible and towards the god of men’s mind. An age old battle that will be fought until He comes back. Our weapons for this war is the Word of God, ALL of them, not just those that can be used to promote religious traditions. Like He said, if we don’t repent of our transgression of God’s Laws, we will all perish.
if you keep reading the letter of Romans, Paul says in the next chapter - '' for no person shall be justified in His sight by the works of the law " chapter 3,v.20, and 21 for that matter.
this cut and paste , with no context and chronological order, is just noise. and attempted ( fail ) deception.
most of us read letters from front to back. I guess needs to study man does not??

Ok, let me edit my statement:
The law of Moses is all or nothing -- you can't disregard any single mitzvah.
Again, do you known any person on this planet who keeps the WHOLE law of Moses?

That is true, the Jews still taught that it was necessary to follow the Levitical Priesthood Sacrificial "Works of the Law" for remission of sins. Paul said, as the old testament teaches, that these "works of the Law justified no one. God's Word doesn't work the way you use it. One scripture does not beat up another scripture simply because you can twist it to support ancient church traditions.
