I plan to respond more later, but a quick question: do you think that God is a giver of trustworthy instructions or a giver of untrustworthy instructions?

The many verses that say that the way to inherit eternal life is by believing in Jesus along with the many verses the say that the way to inherit eternal life is by obeying God's commandments show that God's commandments are His instructions for how to believe in Jesus, or in other words...

In Psalms 119:142, God's law is truth, and in John 14:6, Jesus is the embodiment of truth.

In 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, we are to use Israel's disobedience to God's law as an example of what we should avoid doing rather than as an example for us to emulate. The offerings on Succot for each day that total 70 represents atonement for the nations. https://ohr.edu/2349

The Mosaic Covenant is eternal (Exodus 31:14-17, Leviticus 24:8), so the only way that it can be replaced by the New Covenant is if the New Covenant does everything that it does plus more, which is what it means to make something obsolete (Hebrews 8:13). So the New Covenant still is made with...

There is certainly a possibility that Judas wanted to force a confrontation between Jesus and the authorities, where he may have expected Jesus to take over.

No, I am not saying that, rather Romans 10:5-8 and Romans 10:13 should be interpreted as being in accordance with each other, especially because Paul's point in Romans 10:5-8 is directly relevant to what it means to call on the name of the Lord and what it means to be saved. Jesus notably did...

Hello, Christ set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Law of Mosaic Law and we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked (1 John 2:6), so Acts 15 should not be interpreted...

Your point in your last post was that we are under the priesthood of Melchizedek rather than the priesthood of Aaron, so the context is speaking about administration, and this is not conjecture on my part. Agreed. In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God commanded him...

Our salvation from sin would be incomplete if we were only saved from the penalty of our sin while we continued to live in sin, so there must also be an aspect of our salvation that we are experiencing in the present by Jesus leading us to obey God's law. In Titus 2:11-13, our salvation is...

People really like to ignore the point that Paul was making in Romans 10:5-8 and its relevance to the surrounding verses because that context is contrary to how they want to interpret the surrounding verses, so correctly understanding Romans 10:9-10 in the context in which it was written is not...

I agree that a change of the law has occurred, though the context is in regard to a change of the priesthood, so it is speaking about a change in the law in regard to its administration and not in regard to its content, such as with it becoming righteous to commit adultery or sinful to help the...

Thank you. Paul spoke about multiple categories of law other than the Law of God, such as the law of sin and works of the law, so the problem is that people often don't bother to distinguish which law he was speaking about. For example, in Romans 7:21-8:2, Paul said that he delighted in...

I try to be concise, but it is not easy to do that while giving the support to my position that I want to give. I've changed my mind about something as major as the role of the Torah because of forums when I used to be strongly opposed to by current position, so it is certainly possible for...

Sorry, I did not intend to ignore your question, the tabs that I have open of post that I want to respond to grow faster than they shrink. On one hand, I am criticized for not supporting my position with Scripture while on the other hand my posts are too long because I spend too much time...

I've seen estimates that Acts 10 is around 7-15 years after the resurrection of Jesus. There were all kinds of animals in Peter's vision, so he could have obeyed God's commands in the Torah and His command in his vision by simply killing and eating one of the clean animals, so the key to...

In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God commanded him without departing from it, so the Torah of Moses is the Torah of God, and it is referred to as being the Torah of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23. The Bible is abundantly clear that...

I frequently cite Scripture to show where I have derived my position, so if you disagree with what I've said without explaining why you think that I have misunderstood those verses, then you are disagreeing with those verses. For example, Jeremiah 31:33 uses the Hebrew word "Torah" in regard to...

In Jeremiah 31:33, it uses the Hebrew word "Torah" in regard to what the New Covenant involves being put in our minds and written on our hearts, so I don't see how you can deny this without denying the truth of the verse. There is no rule that a new covenant must have a completely new set of...

Christ specifically said that he came not to about the Mosaic Law. He spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example and he did not establish the New Covenant for the purpose of undermining his ministry and what he accomplished through the cross, but...
