In Romans 7:22-23, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God, but contrasted that with the law of sin, which held him captive, so it should be worth at least considering the possibility of whether what you emphasized is referring to the Law of God or to the law of sin. In Romans...

In Psalms 119:142, it the Mosaic Law is truth, and in John 14:6, Jesus is the embodiment of that truth expressed through setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law. So do you really think that the position that followers of God should follow what God...

Paul spoke about multiple different categories of law other than the Law of God, such as the law of sin and works of the law, so it should at least be worth investigating the issue of which law he was referring to us as not being under out of all of the categories of law that he spoke about...

No, a promise that has been ratified remains true under the New Covenant. God's law defines what wickedness is, so if someone isn't under it, then they have no obligations to refrain from doing what it reveals to be wickedness, so that is motivation for not wanting to be under it. It remains...

Neither. Jesus set a sinless example for us to follow of how to practice Judaism in obedience to the Mosaic Law, which we are told to follow (1 Peter 2:21-22, 1 John 2:6). The way to follow Jesus is not by refusing to follow what he taught.

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 message, so it would be absurd to interpret Galatians 5:2-4 as warning us against doing that and saying that we will be cut off from Christ if we follow...

From the NAS Greek Lexicon for pleroo: "to fulfil, i.e. to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment" After Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law, he then proceeded to fulfill it six times...

Please interact with the points that I made in my first post. I did not suggest that God is double-minded, but rather God nullifying His own laws is what would mean that He is double-minded. Christ did not go around with the message telling people to stop repenting because the law has been...

There is still the issue of explaining why it makes sense to think that acting in accordance with God instructions is blindness and not the other way around. It is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) and the NT calls Gentiles to repent from their sins, which is...

In 1 Peter 2:21-22, we are told to follow Christ's example, and in 1 John 2:6, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked, but you think that the way to follow him his by refusing to follow his example?

I responded to four of your posts to explain why I disagreed with points that you made, so iIt would be appreciated if you interacted with my post. Can you explain why it makes sense to you to think that blindness is connected with obeying what God has commanded rather than with disobeying...

There is no difference because who He is is also the way to know Him. The Hebrews word "yada" refers to intimate knowledge gained through experience, such as in Genesis 4:1, Adam knew (yada) Eve, she conceived, and gave birth to Cain. In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by...

If God saved the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt in order to put them under slavery to His law, then it would be for slavery that God sets us free, however, Galatians 5:1 says that it is for freedom that God sets us free, so you are not correctly identifying what makes you a slave. In Psalms...

Yes. Indeed, all of Scripture testifies about how to know Jesus, which includes the Mosaic Law, and knowing God and Jesus is eternal life (John 17:3). 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 Matthew...

In Hebrews 3:18-19, they did not enter into God's rest because of their unbelief/disobedience, and in Exodus 20:13, it specifically mentions that they greatly profaned God's Sabbaths. In Hebrews 4:9-11, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, we should rest from our work as God...

Jesus taught for us to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, so I have not taken his testimony out of Scripture.

Again, the heart issue is love for God. The command says not to take the mother with the young, so knowing that I have actually kept the command is fairly straightforward. We are not required to know why God commanded His children to do something in order to be able to do what He has...

Welcome. In Acts 21:20, they were rejoicing that tens of thousands of Jews were coming to faith in Jesus who were all zealous for the Torah, which is in accordance with Titus 2:14, where Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own...

In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing in on our hearts.

The Bible contains a number of commands where there is no explanation given for why God command them, which invite us to ponder what God is teaching us about how to love aspects of His nature through them. Furthermore, we have the greatest opportunity to have faith in God to correctly guide us...
