I had a typo, I mean to say that if we are not under God's law. It is good that you won't do those things, though you should also obey God's other laws.

I wasn't citing 1 Timothy 1:5 in regard to what it is teaching, but as an example where "telos" is not referring to the termination of something. "Telos" can mean either "end" or "goal", so it should at least be worth discussing which would be the best word choice in Romans 10:4. I cited...

I meant to say "If we are not under God's law...".

If we are under God's law, then we are free to do what God revealed to be sin through it, but I don't see that position supported in Romans 6. It says that we are not to continue to sin that grace my about, that we can't live in sin now that we have died to it, that we have been raised with...

I don't generally use the CEB, but I just cited it as an example of a translation that translate "telos" in Romans 10:4 as "goal" rather than as "end". As I said, "telos" can be translated as "end", but it can also be translated as "purpose" or "goal" depending upon the context of how it is...

Sorry if I was not clear, this is an example of one translation of Romans 10:4: Romans 10:4 (CEB) Christ is the goal of the Law, which leads to righteousness for all who have faith in God. I have been making the case from both context surrounding Romans 10:4 and the broader context of other...

The Hebrew word "yada" refers to intimate relational knowledge gained through experience, such as in Genesis 4:1, Adam knew (yada) Eve, she conceived, and gave birth to Cain. The Bible begins and ends with the Tree of Life and everything in between is how to get back to it, or in other words...

The existence of sin requires the existence of something that defines what is and is not sin, which is God's character, so for example righteousness is in accordance with God's character while unrighteousness is sin. The Bible often uses the same terms to describe the character of God as it...

I did not say that I am constantly transgressing God's law, but even if I were, then that would mean that I would need to repent and return to obedience to it, not that I was wrong about the fact that followers of God should obey what God has commanded in accordance with the example that Christ...

Christ walked in obedience to the Mosaic Law and in 1 John 2:6, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked, so only those who are walking in obedience to the Mosaic Law are in Christ. Christ did not teach anything about superseding the Mosaic Law, but the sum of...

If you agree that Jesus did not come to abolish it, then that is contrary to interpreting Romans 6:14 and 10:4 as speaking against obeying it. "To fulfill the law" means "to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be" (NAS Greek Lexicon: pleroo), so after Jesus...

It is contradictory to think that the way to have a right relationship with God is through God's word made flesh, but not through obeying Gods word. Moreover, showed with Scripture that Moses was taught how to know God through His law. The fact that God divorced the Northern Kingdom because...

I agree that Romans 10:4 is referring to the Law of God. Moreover, "end" can be a correct translation in the sense that it is referring to knowing Christ being the intention or aim of the law, but it is not the best word choice because it can easily be misunderstood as referring to abolishing...

Paul spoke about multiple different categories of law other than the Law of God, such as the law of sin and works of the law, so it is important to correctly identify which law he was referring to us as not being under. For example, in Romans 7:25-8:2, Paul contrasted the Law of God with the...

The only way to become righteous is through faith and what it means to become righteous through faith is to become a doer of righteous works through the same faith. To say that God is righteous means that He is a doer of righteous works, so it is contradictory for someone to be made righteous...

The Mosaic Law has 613 of God's commandments, which Paul promoted obedience to as a servant of God. It is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of what sin is and Paul spoke against sin.

It is contradictory to think that we should obey the principles of God's laws, but not the laws that are examples of those principles. For instance, righteousness is a principle of God's law, but it would overwhelming to teach that principle by teaching how to be a doer of righteousness in...

Those falling for the devil's fake gospel are no longer saved! In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ 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 Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so...

In Titus 2:14, it does not say that Jesus gave himself to free us from God's law, but in order to free us from all lawlessness, so the freedom that we have in Christ is the freedom from lawlessness, not the freedom to do the things that God has revealed to be sin through His law. In Psalms...

I agree. According Deuteronomy 27-28, the blessing of the law is living in obedience to it while the curse of the law is lawlessness, so Jesus set us free from lawlessness by leading us to live in obedience to it. In Titus 2:14, it doesn't say that Jesus gave himself to free us from God's law...
