the Bible clearly refers to people who are part of those categories and Paul never stopped identifying as a Jew (Acts 21:39, 22:3), so he was not denying the obvious reality of these categories, but rather he was denying that they gave someone a higher status when it comes to being in Christ...

In Psalms 119:142, the Mosaic Law is truth and Jesus embodied that truth by living in sinless obedience to it (John 14:6), so I am not the one who doesn't recognize truth. I have never suggest that we should live under the Mosaic Covenant, but rather I have been speaking about how to live under...

The things that count as food vary from culture to culture, so when we have one Jew speaking to a group of other Jews about food, then we should consider them to be speaking about the things that they consider to be food rather than insert the things that we consider to be food. An obvious...

God's law is about Jesus, so that is contradictory.

I'm not above correction, though the correction needs to be correct. In Deuteronomy 30:15-16, obedience to God's law leads to life. In Deuteronomy 32:46-47, God's law is our very life. In Proverbs 3:18, it is a Tree of Life for all who take hold of it. In Proverbs 6:23, for the commandment...

In Deuteronomy 30:11-20, it says that the Mosaic Law is not too difficult to follow and Romans 10:5-8 references that passage as the word of faith that we proclaim. While there is a distinction between the Ten Commandments and the other commandments, they are all God's commandments and all have...

In Romans 7:25, Paul contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin. My position is that we should obey the Law of God, not the law of sin. In Hebrews 3:18-19, the Israelites did not enter into God's rest because their unbelief and disobedience to the Mosaic Law, and in Hebrews 4:11, we...

I speak frequently speak about Christ. The Mosaic Law is God word and Jesus is God's word made flesh, so he is the embodiment of the Mosaic Law expressed through walking in sinless obedience to it. In 1 John 2:6, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked so it is...

No, I am leading away from from observing the law of sin and death. In Romans 7:25-8:2, Paul contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and contested the Law of the Spirit with the law of sin and death, so he equated the Law of God with the Law of the Spirit, and the Bible refers to the Law...

In Luke 2:22-23, it refers to the Law of Moses as being the Law of God, so the very verse that you are citing to establish a distinction between the Law of Moses and the Law of God actually completely undermines that distinction. Likewise, the Law of Moses is referred to as the Law of God in...

The Bible often uses the same terms to describe aspects of God's nature as it does to destine aspects of the nature of God's law, such as with it being holy, righteous, and good (Romans 7:12), or with justice, mercy, and faithfulness being weightier matters of the law (Matthew 23:23), which is...

If there were a law that commands against adultery and we were set free from it, then that would mean that we are free to commit adultery, but if we are still required to refrain from committing adultery, then we have not been set free from that law. In Titus 2:14, it does not say that Jesus...

Everything that Jesus taught was rooted in the OT and the same with what was taught ion the rest of the NT, so the NT is essentially commentary on the OT.

In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Torah in our minds and writing it on our hearts, so the New Covenant is not transitioning away from the Torah, but rather they expected Gentiles to continue to learn how to obey it in accordance with following what Christ taught.

According to Romans 3:21-22, the only way to become righteous that is testified in the prophets is through faith in Christ for all who believe, so obedience to the law is not about earning our righteousness, but about having faith in Christ. Becoming righteous through faith means becoming...

In Acts 18:18, Paul took a vow involving shaving his head and the vow prescribed in the Bible that involves doing that is a Nazarite vow, which involves making animal offerings (Numbers 6). Furthermore, in Acts 21:20-24, Paul intended to pay for the offerings of others who had taken a vow. In...

It is not clear to me why you think truth of what I said leads to the expectation that it is something that would be mentioned in Acts 15. In Acts 15:21, the expectation was that Gentiles would continue to learn about how to obey Moses by hearing him taught every Sabbath in the synagogues.

That is not a counterargument. You are the one who thinks that it makes perfect sense to interpret servants of God as speaking obeying what He has commanded, so I find it a bit silly that you think that I'm the one twisting everything the wrong way and that you would try to apply those verses...

The Mosaic Law requires the witnesses to throw the first stone and I have not personally witnesses anyone doing that.. The Mosaic Law requires the accused people to be brought before a judge to do a thorough investigate and that none is to be put to death without at least two or three witness...
