How so?

Let's say the torah is a schoolteacher. I remember schoolteachers, and now I am grown I am not under them, but I don't use my freedom to rebel against the truths they taught me, because now I know the same truth in my own heart. Likewise, freedom in God's Messiah cannot mean opposition to the...

Laws in regard to temple practice require there to be a temple in which to practice them. When the Israelites were exiled in Babylon, the condition for their return to the land was to first return to obedience to the Torah, which contains instructions in regard to temple practice that they...

Anyone who reads Matthew 5:17-19 can see that you are the one who is lying, so shame on your for being so obvious about it.

Even if that were true, it wouldn't, it doesn't show that anything that I said was false. In 1 Corinthians 9:21, Paul used a parallel statement to equate the Law of God with the Law of Christ by saying that he was not outside the Law of God, but under the Law of Christ. the Bible refers to the...

Jesus is one with the Father, so he was not in disagreement with what the Father has commanded.

Rather, you are lying by denying that Jesus said that, as anyone who has read Matthew 5:17-19 can confirm.

Romans 2:7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;

If we are not free to do what the Torah reveals to be sin, then we are under the Torah. The Spirit has the role of leading us to obey the Torah (Ezekiel 36:26-27), so it is contradictory for someone to claim to be led by the Spirit while claiming that we are not under the Torah. Likewise, in...

I quoted from the Bible where Jesus said those words, so you're being ridiculous by making up random accusations that have no basis in reality. I did not deny that some sins carry penalty of death by stoning, but rather I said that the Torah does not instruct us to go around stoning people.

In Romans 7:21-25, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God and served it with it mind, but contrasted that with the law of sin that held him captive and that he served with his flesh. So verses that refer to something that would be absurd for Paul to delight in doing should not be...

Being free from the Torah would mean that we are free to do everything that it reveals to. be sin. The greatest two commandments of the Torah are to love God and our neighbor, so that is not better than the Torah and it is contradictory to think that we should love God and our neighbor while...

Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

Joshua 24:15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

The Torah does not instruct people to go around stoning people to death. A Sanhedrin that executed once in 70 years as considered to be murderous.

I did not make that up: Matthew 5:17-19 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished...

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Indeed, Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-19 that he came not to abolish the Torah and warned against relaxing the least part of it, and in Romans 3:31, our faith does not abolish our need to obey the Torah, but rather our faith uphold it.

Matthew 19:17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.”

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
