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...

Clearly you are unable to discern between a legitimate reason and an illegitimate reason for not obeying a particular law.

According to that verse, the only way to avoid being cursed is by continuing to do everything in the Book of the Law, so you should hold the position that we should continue to do everything in the Book of the Law rather than the position that we should be cursed by not continuing to do that.

While I agree that Galatians 3:16-19 is speaking about God's law not nullifying the promise made to Abraham, it is just as true that the New Covenant does not nullify the promise that was made to Abraham. While we do not earn the the promise as the result of having first obeyed God's law, that...

It is lawful to get a donkey out of a well on the Sabbath, so those who are speaking in favor of keeping the Sabbath will help you out.

In Deuteronomy 30:1-10, it prophesies about a time when the Israelites will return from exile, God will circumcise their hearts, and they will return to obedience to the Torah, which is the basis for the New Covenant. In Ezekiel 36:26-27 and Jeremiah 31:33, the context is speaking about the...

The Torah was given to Israel to equip Israel to be a light and a blessing to the nations by turning the nations from their wickedness and teaching them to obey it in accordance with spreading the Gospel of the Kingdom. For example, do you think that the greatest two commandments and the...

Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

For some reason many people think that it makes perfect sense to interpret servants of God promoting rebellion against Him.

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

No, I was saying even if it was the case that Christians are not obligated to obey it, not stating that is is the case. We should follow the Torah to the extent that we are able to obey it and we are not required to obey commands that can't currently be obeyed.

You are being silly by demanding that we can only quote Jesus in the original languages. Jesus spoke Hebrew, so it is very likely that he was speaking Hebrew in Matthew 5:17-19, which which case he would have used the word "Torah'.

In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law in contrast with saying that he came not to abolish it and he warned against relaxing the least part of it or teaching others to relax the least part of it, so you should not interpret fulfilling the law as relaxing any part of it...

The Israelites were given a number of laws that had the condition "when you enter the land..." while they were still wandering the wilderness for 40 years, so there is nothing wrong with not following laws that can't currently be followed. Laws in regard to temple practice that weren't followed...

The God of Israel has given instructions for how to know, love, worship, believe in, and testify about Him in accordance with living as citizens of His Kingdom, and for how to refrain from sin by contrast, so those who want to do those things will voluntarily choose to follow them even if they...

The phrase "Torah and the Prophets" has a specific meaning, so there is no room for him to be using a word other than "Torah' or its equivalent in whatever language he was speaking in. Jesus didn't speak any English words, if you want to call me a liar for quoting what he said in English, then...

Refusing to submit to the Torah is the way to deny that Jesus is the Messiah. Or in other words, obeying God's word is the way to believe in God's word made flesh while refusing to obey God's word is the way to deny that Jesus is God's word made flesh. It is contradictory to think that we...

The Torah does not instruct us to go around stoning people, but rathe it instructs for the people accused to be brought before a judge to do a thorough investigation, that the witnesses are to throw the first stones, that no one is to be put to death without at least two or three witnesses, that...

The Mosaic Covenant is eternal (Exodus 31:14-17, Leviticus 24:8), so the only way that it can be replaced by the New Covenant is if the New Covenant does everything that it does plus more, which is what it means to make something obsolete. So the New Covenant still involves following the Torah...
