My position is only not supported by the Bible if you deliberately ignore all of the verses that I've cited in support of my position, such as with you deliberately ignoring Jeremiah 31:33, which states that the New Covenant involves God putting the Torah in our minds and writing on our hearts...

I've given examples in the Bible where people were not required to obey laws that they can't currently obey, so you are more concerned with trying to gotcha than with whether your position is supported by the Bible. I'm not telling people that they should be doing sacrifices in their backyards...

In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Mosaic Law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ...

I agree that what I am personally doing matters, though it is a separate issue. If I am not obeying the Mosaic Law in the manner than I should be, then that means that I need to repent, but it does not mean that I am wrong about the fact that followers of God should follow what God has...

I have not argued that we earn our salvation as the result of having first been circumcised, and in fact I agree that that is not the case, but that we are saved by grace, so I have not refuted my own argument. In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be...

In Acts 3:25-26, Jesus was sent in fulfillment of the promise to bless us by turning us from our wickedness and wickedness is contrary to God’s law, so do you affirm or deny that we should have faith in the promise? Every example of faith listed in Hebrews 11 is an example of someone who was an...

Those who claim that the law is only for the lawless in order to justify their freedom to be lawless thereby become someone that the law is for. God’s law is His instructions for how to believe in the name of the Son, which is why the Son said that the way to inherit eternal life is by obeying...

Either Paul only spoke against becoming circumcised for incorrect reasons or according to Galatians 5:2, Paul caused Christ to be of no value to Timothy when he had him circumcised right after the Jerusalem Council (Acts 16:3) and Christ is of no value to roughly 80% of the men in the US. In...

In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith. It is contradictory to think...

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and God’s law is how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel message...

Another way to put it is the the way to obey the greatest commandment in the Bible is by being obsessed with teaching repentance and obedience to God’s law (Deuteronomy 6:4-7), which is in accordance with many other verses in both the OT and the NT that say that the way to love God is by obeying...

Those who agree with the truth of these words as Scripture will consider Christ's Gospel to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand to be very good news and will be obsessed with teaching obedience to God's law in accordance with it: Deuteronomy 6:4-7 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the...

In Matthew 4:15-23, it describes the Gospel that Jesus taught as the call to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, and God's law is how his audience knew what sin is, so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel message. I spoke about Titus 2:14, where Jesus gave...

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Law of Moses is how his audience knew what sin is, so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the Kingdom...

I agree that salvation is by/through Christ alone, but Christ is God's word made flesh, so following his example of obedience to God's word is the way to have salvation by/through Christ alone. Again, Titus 2:11-13 describes our salvation as being trained by grace to do those works, so being...

People have disagreements about which books should be consider to be Scripture, such as why the Catholic Bible contains 73 books while the Protestant Bible contains 66 books, and with apocrypha that didn't make the cut. For example, there are standards like whether it was written by someone who...

We do not earn our justification as the result of having first obeyed the Law of Moses even through perfect obedience because it was never given as a means of doing that (Romans 4:1-5), but that does not mean that we are not required to obey it for the purposes for which it was given or that our...

Our salvation is from sin (Matthew 1:21) and it is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of what sin is (Romans 3:20), so while we do not earn our salvation as the result of having first obeyed it, living in obedience to it through faith in Jesus is intrinsically the content of the free gift...

The way to testify about God's righteousness is straightforwardly based on God's righteousness, not on a particular covenant, and God's righteousness is eternal (Psalms 119:142), so any instructions that God has ever given for how to do that are eternally valid regardless of which covenant...
