Yes, I saved, sorry I did not see you ask that question until just now.

In Acts 5:32, the Spirit has been given to those who obey God. In John 16:13, the Spirit has the role of leading us in truth, in Ezekiel 36:26-27, the Spirit has the role of leading us to obey the Mosaic Law, and in Psalms 119:142, the Mosaic Law is truth. In John 16:8, the Spirit has the role...

Jesus set a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to God's law, so he was much more zealous for obedience to it than the Pharisees and he never criticized anyone for obeying it, but he did criticize them for not obeying it or for not obeying it correctly. For example, in Mark 7:6-9, Jesus...

I'm not the one who thinks that it makes perfect sent to interpret God's word as promoting rebellion against Him.

I agree with the verse, but not with blatantly false interpretations of it, such as that the law leads to Christ so that we can be free to do what it revealed to be sin.

Do you think that the law brings us to Christ so that we can then be free to do what it reveals to be sin? Or does the law bring us to Christ because it teaches us how to know him? Do you think that the way to have faith in God is by refusing to rely on His instructions?

Jesus lived in obedience to God's law, so that is also the way that we live when he is living within us, which is also the way that we fulfill the law.

Why does it make sense to you to think that the way to hell is by relying on God's instructions and the way to avoid going to hell is by rebelling against God's instructions? The only reason why someone would need to have perfect obedience is if they are going to give themselves to pay for the...

In Romans 10:5-8, it references Deuteronomy 30:11-16 as the world of faith that we proclaim in regard to saying the Torah is not too difficult for us to obey and that obedience to it brings life. In Deuteronomy 32:46-47, the Torah is our very life. In Revelation 22:14, those who obeyed God's...

Again, there is nothing wrong with not obeying a law that can't currently be obeyed, but that shouldn't stop us from obeying all of the laws that we can obey. Jesus did not obey the laws in regard to having a period or to giving birth, but there is there is no sin or curse in that. According...

What part of we should follow Christ's example to the extent that we are able to don't you understand?

Something happened to the quote tag in post #119, so I'm tagging you to make sure that you saw it.

I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase it?.

Arranged marriages are certainly not the evil that is promoted in Hollywood. Being infatuated with someone clouds our judgement and can cause us to ignore red flags that a 3rd party would not overlook. There are advantages for young people to lean on wisdom of their parents and trust them to...

Christ set a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Torah and as his followers 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 3:4). It should not be strange for some people...

Luke 14:5 And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”

Jesus set a prefect example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Torah, and in Matthew 11:28-30, he was inviting people to come to him for rest and to learn from him, not inviting people to refuse to learn from his example. Moreover, by Jesus saying that we would find rest for...

Indeed, you have. According to Deuteronomy 27-28, relying on the Book of the Law is the way to be blessed while not relying on it is the way to be cursed, you should not interpret Galatians 3:10 as quoting from that passage in order to support a point that is arguing against that passage...

Psalms 1:1-2 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

You are clearly misinterpreting (at best) or not understanding (at worst). To whom was Matthew's gospel written? Clearly, it was written to the Jewish people to give them understanding of their Messiah. It was not written to Christians! When He warned against relaxing the least part of it or...
