I agree with those verses. The fact that we are not required to earn our righteousness as the result of obeying God does not men that we are not obligated to obey God. There is a difference between the way to attain a character trait and what it means for us to attain a character trait. The...

All throughout the Bible, God wanted His people to repent and to return to obedience to His law, and even Christ began his ministry with that Gospel message, so why does it make sense to you to think that doing that is the way to incur God's wrath while rebelling against His commands is the way...

In Romans 10:4, the Greek word "telos" can mean "end', though it can also mean "purpose" or "goal", such as with how it clearly has that meaning in 1 Timothy 1:5, Romans 6:21-22, or James 5:11, so this is a classic example where those who are determined to turn God's word against itself and be...

The Torah is truth (Psalms 119:142), Jesus is the embodiment of that truth (John 14:6), and with all of the false accusations that you are spewing out, you are clearly opposed to truth.

The position that some of God's laws are not moral laws is the position that we can be acting morally while disobeying those laws, however, there are no examples in the Bible where disobedience to any of God's laws is said to be moral and I do not see justification for thinking that it can ever...

I'm taking the position that we should obey what He has commanded while you are taking the position of being disobedient and obstinate.

In Romans 10:5-8, Paul referred to Deuteronomy 30:11-16 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to saying that the Mosaic Law is not too difficult for us to obey, in regard to saying that the one who obeys it will attain life by it, in regard to what we are agreeing to obey by confessing...

Christ spent his ministry teaching teaching his followers to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example, so the problem that Paul had with the Judaizers was not that they were teaching Gentiles how to follow Christ, but that they were wanting to require Gentiles to become circumcised in order to...

If you don’t want to continue participating in the discussion, then that is your choice, but it is pointless for you to continue to discuss how pointless you think that the conversation is. The OP doesn’t need to participate in the discussion in order for the point that they raised to be an...

Indeed.

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 Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel...

The Mosaic Law contains 613 laws. If we violate any portion of the law, then we become a lawbreaker and need to repent and return to obedience through faith. God's law came with instructions for what to His children sinned, so it never required us to have perfect obedience. The fact that we...

In Romans 10:5-8, it references Deuteronomy 30:11-16 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to saying that the Mosaic Law is not too difficult for us to obey and that obedience to it brings life, so believing that we can obey the Torah is a matter of putting our faith in God's word, but...

The position that we should obey the greatest two commandments is also the position that we should obey all of the commandments than hang on them. For example, if we love God and our neighbor, then we won't commit adultery, theft, murder, idolatry, kidnapping, favoritism, rape, and so forth for...

It's not about wining an argument, but about spreading the Gospel.

In Jeremiah 31:33, it says that the New. Covenant involves God putting the Torah in our minds and writing it on our hearts. In Titus 2:14, it does say that Jesus gave himself to free us from the Torah, but in order to free us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own...

God is trustworthy, therefore His instructions are also trustworthy (Psalms 19:7), so the way to trust in God is by obediently trusting in His instructions and it is contradictory for someone to think that we should trust in God for salvation, but not in His instructions. In Proverbs 3:5-7, we...

In Romans 10:5-8, it quotes Deuteronomy 30:11-16 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to saying that the Mosaic Law is not too difficult to obey, so it was not given to show us that we can never measure up. Likewise, in 1 John 5:3, to love God is to obey His commandments, which are...

The Spirit has the role of leading us to obey the Torah (Ezekiel 36:26-27), so it is contradictory to claim to be led by the Spirit while refusing to submit to it.

Rather, God's law is meant to lead the sinner to faith in Christ because it was given to teach us how to have faith in him. For example, by doing good works in obedience to God's law, we are testifying that God is good which is why our good works bring glory to Him (Matthew 5:16), and by...
