Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Gal 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
This is what i'm saying.
not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Gal 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

i also believe the bible does not contradict itself.
There is commandments and laws mentioned that refer to the whole lot but sometimes the law is the schoolmaster (Gal 3) which is the law of ordinance given because of Israel's needed to understand Christ and Salvation. What are the laws James talks about in chap 2, what are the commandments in Rev? What are the laws Jesus was talking about in Matt 5:17? No law will save us but the law of liberty is still there to reveal sin.
2Jn 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
2Jn 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2Jn 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

It definitely contradicts itself...
You should try reading it.
For me, other texts are extensions with motivations...
Everyone wants to direct this new movement...
Galatians is the first Christian text.
In it he says if anyone give a different gospel than this they are wrong.
Fun fact, none of the gospels call themselves such...
This is the only text that actually calls itself good news.
And indeed, this is good news.

if you throw out the law and believe that no law exists today you will be like Paul ... not now what sin is.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Rom 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Rom 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Rom 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

God did not canonize the Bible
Jesus never knew a canon
I have said I interpret all else through it... I venture outside the bible too, into other traditions even on the basis that all has come from the Logos... and all of it contains human bias...
For me, these people have experience of oneness and are trying to convey it... they have to use the sources around them outside the experience to say more... only this union is what they actually know.
I think that if we refuse to acknowledge this all religion will be dead very soon.

when you got the spirit in 2012 how do you know which spirit it was?
1Jn_4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Ti_4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
do you think the king of deception will come to you and admit that he wants to lead you astray?
If the Spirit came to you and convicted you to obey the 10 commandments would that mean it is an evil spirit or Gods Spirit?
