From your post 63. "
Isn’t it pretty clear who gave the law , and when the law was added and why and who ordained it ? I guess Hebrews won’t make much sense."
When Abraham kept God's law, and Abraham was before Sinai, then God's laws preceded Moses.
This is the aforementioned, Law of the Patriarchs.
God's first command was in Eden into Adam. Thou shalt not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
Gentile=Nation
It is by Abraham that Gentiles are able to come to Salvation in Messiah. Galatians 3:14 So that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Abraham observed the Torah, God's law, before it was given to Israel. Genesis 26:5 "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments.
Genesis 15:6 And he (Abraham) believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
Galatians 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the
nations be blessed.”
The term Jew is derived from Jacob. Before Jacob there were no Jews.
Genesis 32:28 “No longer will your name be Jacob,” the man told him,“but Israel,because you have fought with God and with men and have prevailed.”
In scripture, any people not Hebrew,Israelite,Jew, as these terms make their appearances in scripture, were labeled Gentile.
Genesis 12:1-3 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from
your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
“God's first command was in Eden into Adam. Thou shalt not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
Yes that has nothing to do with Moses law though.
“Abraham observed the Torah, God's law, before it was given to Israel. Genesis 26:5 "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments.”
the law of Moses is t Gods voice they wouldn’t hear it so they got Moses law
“Genesis 15:6 And he (Abraham) believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.”
that has nothing to do with the law ot was given 430 years after Abraham lived there was no law then , there was Gods word then like to adam , to Cain , to Noah , to Abraham those things are all
About hearing Gods word and believing in other words
faith
“
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out,
not knowing whither he went.”
Hebrews 11:7-8 KJV
that’s the gospel to hear what God said believe and follow what he said so like this
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
to hear that and get baptized is an act of faith has zero to do with the law of Moses it has to do with Gods word jeering and believing so we can have faith
I showed you earlier the law is not of faith
“But that
no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”
Galatians 3:11-12 KJV
I’m not sure where your argument is based but you seem to skip over the scriptures I’ve given you which sort of ends any chance of me doecussing ot with you
“For
the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
John 1:17
I’m sort of a believer of what it says so
I’d have to say the law came through Moses to the children of Israel and was added because of thoer transgressions , was ordained of angels and given into
Moses hand
“Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”
Galatians 3:19 KJV
and it was 430 years after this promise of the gospel before the law when men hears Gods word d believed and had faith
“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,
preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then
they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
….And this I say, that
the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ,
the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.”
Galatians 3:8-9, 17 KJV
is also say to at the law was a curse for sin
“For
as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.”
Galatians 3:10 KJV
and it was temporary came after Abraham and lasted until Christ came preaching Gods word that we can believe and be saved like Abraham , Noah and the time of faith
“
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
Luke 16:16 KJV
that’s the difference in the law and faith faith is to
hear Gods word and believe his instruction and promise and act because you believe what he said and the accompanying promise
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
that’s a word of faith , this other one isn’t
“For as many as are of the works of the law are
under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
And
the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”
Galatians 3:10, 12 KJV
That’s not faith it’s not about hearing Gods word and believing it’s about seeing a book full of hundreds of ordinances and commands that aren’t about the same thkngs in the gospel not to be saved but for this purpose
“Now we know
that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore
by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20
it’s not of faith can’t justify wasn’t from the beginning isn’t Gods word through Christ whos voice Abraham Isaac and Jacob heard and obeyed .
faith has to be hearing christs word and believing not an angel and Moses word but Christ the son of Gods word is what makes and keeps faith
