Jesus came as the Jewish Messiah of Judaism in fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and he sent a prefect example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism by walking in sinless obedience to the Torah, and we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are...

Why did you quote those verses? The Bible repeatedly describes the Mosaic Law as being God’s ways, such as in Deuteronomy 10:12-14, Isaiah 2:2-3, Joshua 22:5, 1 Kings 2:1-3, Psalms 103:7, Psalms 119:1-3, and many other places.

In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God commanded him without departing from it, so all of the Law of Moses was commanded by God, which is why it is referred to as the Law of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23. All of God's commands have the...

In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to walk in His way that he and Israel might know Him, and in 1 Kings 2:1-3, God taught how to walk in His way though the Mosaic Law. In Jeremiah 9:3 and 9:6, they did not know God and refused to know Him because in 9:13...

The Law of Moses refers to all of the 613 laws that God gave to Israel through Moses as a mediator, which includes the Ten Commandments. I not sure what the verses that you quoted have to do with my last post.

God’s nature eternal, so any instructions that God has ever given for how to act in accordance with His nature are eternally valid and the only way that those institutions can be abolished is by first abolishing God. This is why the Bible says that all of God’s righteous laws are eternal...

Jesus said that the measure that we use will be used against us. Do you think that what he said is true or false?

Rather, it has always been and will always be that. In Matthew 23:23, Jesus said that justice, mercy, and faithfulness are weightier matters of the Mosaic Law, includes an eye for an eye. Jesus said judge not lest you be judged for the measure that you use will be used against you, so again...

God’s law is not His instructions for how to be under the rule of Satan, but just the opposite.

We see measure for measure justice taught throughout the Bible, so an eye for an eye is still a good guideline for judges to help ensure fair sentencing that does not escalate out of proportion to the offense, but it was not intended to be used to justifying taking revenge into our own hands in...

We fulfill the law every time that we correctly do what it commands. Everything that it commands is in regard to how to how to love our neighbor and/or how to love God, so I agree that we are fulfilling the law when we are correctly loving in obedience to it and we are not fulfilling it when we...

"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 said that he came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, he then proceeded to fulfill it six times throughout the rest on chapter by teaching how to...

The parts that we are able to obey. Do you think that Galatians 5:2 is saying that Christ is of no value to anyone who becomes circumcised for any reason? For example to you think that it is saying that Christ is of no value to roughly 80% of the men in the US and that Paul caused Christ to be...

The New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts (Hebrews 8:10), plus it is based on better promises and has a superior mediator (Hebrews 8:6). In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law in contrast with saying that he came not...

It is our prerogative to choose our standards for which things are important and how much much importance they are. Someone might consider us to be shallow if they disagree with the standards that we've chosen, but they aren't us and they aren't looking for the same spouse we are. For our own...

Self-defense is good. Killing in self-defense is another issue and Exodus 22 distinguishes between whether the thief was killed during the day or at night. The purpose of striking someone's cheek was to bring shame to them, not to physically attack them, so turning the other cheek is in regard...

The good kings tends to live for much longer than than the evil kings did, so the Israelites were under a good king for a majority of the time even though there were more evil kings, so while there was room for improvement, they were even farther from failing miserably. In any case, Israel...

Jews were given the role of being a light and a blessing to the nations by turning the nations from their wickedness and teaching them to do the same works as Abraham by walking in God's way in obedience to His law in accordance with the promise, so the Gospel went out to the Jew first and then...

It is not that we are adding our works to God's grace, but that God is gracious to us by teaching us to do works. 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...

Our salvation is from sin (Matthew 1:21) and sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4), so our salvation from sin would be incomplete if we were only saved from the penalty of our sin while we continued to live in transgression of God's law, so there must be an aspect of our salvation...
