I could not, because I have sinned in the past, which therefore disqualifies me from atoning for the sins of another. We have all sinned, which is why we are all called to "stop sinning". If we continue sinning then there cannot be forgiveness of sins, because you never stopped sinning. This is not difficult to understand.
I asked him to clarify things, and asked him plainly if he agrees or disagrees with the following statement, "we must stop sinning from now and onwards", yet he refused to answer, because he knows he disagrees with the statement, as do you I perceive. If I am mistaken, then by all means, clarify for us if you agree or disagree with that statement. But I already suspect you do, and just as him, will refuse to answer.
You lied to say Dino is calling you to teach that "we can continue sinning." Dino suggested no such thing to you to teach. You have shown you have no intention of quitting sinning by persisting in your lie and then attempting to cover it up by making excuses for it as if it were justifiable by your rationalizations. You simply show yourself to be a hypocrite.
You saying Dino is calling you to teach that "we can continue sinning" was a false accusation. All else you say here is simply trying to detract from the fact that you lied about this, regardless of what he believes on the matter. Bearing false witness is a sin. Obviously, you have not stopped sinning.

There are a few things to consider here;
1)God is a non-changing God so He would never change His word.
2)The Bible teaches us that everything is about Jesus. So if He tells us not to follow Torah, He basically tells us not to follow Him anymore.
3)After His crucifixion, Jesus appeared to the two men and taught them from the Old Testament about himself.
4)Jesus said that the Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses (that is to keep the Torah) so do what they tell you to do (keep Torah) but don’t do what they do (keep Talmud). The Talmud is basically man’s opinion and will lead to destruction.

Mere belief is just that. Mere belief. Even demons believe, but what good is it?
And you want to know what sin is? The torah will expose if you commit certain sins, But it has no power to tell you what sin is. Thats why the jewish nation as a whole could never find the truth Because like you. They looked to the wrong source.
As paul said, The torah was given to lead them to their messiah. Once you find the messiah, You find what sin is.. For he is the power of Love, His grace and forgiveness, is what empowers us to stop seeking self (sin) and start loving and serving others (righteousness)

You can be careful to obay all you want
You still will fall short of the glory of God. And still deserve eternal judgment.
Even the law states perfection is the only means, anyone who does not meet this standard is under a curse.
James understood this when he made it clear you can keep the whole law. Yet if you fail in one smal point, your guilty of the whole law.
You will not find righteousness by following the law. All you will find is judgment, Because you can not keep it.

You can’t stop sin dude. Thats the problem.
Thats why Jesus said it is only through love we can obey the law (we do not love 24/7 so we can not obey the law 24/7)
And why John made it clear. If we say we have no sin we are deceived, and have no truth in us. Because do not comprehend yet what sin is.

Which is why belief is also necessary, because mere perfect obedience to the Torah is not sufficient to attain perfection, it must also come with belief, belief in Yeshuah, which then, through obedience of the commands of the Torah that define sin, and through belief in Yeshuah, then a man receives the anointing of God, which perfects him and frees him from sin, and thus fulfills, "he who is born of God cannot sin" and "you have been set free from sin". Yet just as mere obedience to the Torah without belief in Yeshuah does not yield perfection, which is the case of many Jews, so in likewise manner belief in Yeshuah without obedience to the Torah does not yield perfection, which is the case of many "Christians", and in both cases, a man falls short of what is required to inherit the kingdom of God.
