Jesus embodied the Mosaic Law by living in sinless obedience to it, that's not a question of if he did, and there is nothing about him living in sinless obedience to it that means that it expired when he died on the cross, especially because all of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalms...

When the Israelites were in exile in Babylon, the condition for their return to the land was to first return to obedience to the Mosaic Law, which contains instruction in regard to temple practice that they couldn't follow because the temple had been destroyed, so God honored their obedience to...

There is a difference between saying that people will stop committing adultery and saying that adultery will stop being a sin, such that if people were able to commit adultery, then it would no longer be a sin to do so, so the problem is that you're conflating the two.

In Jeremiah 31:33, it it directly states in regard to the New Covenant that it involves God putting the Torah in our minds and writing it on our hearts, so I did not lie, but rather you are saying that that verse is a lie.

I've not claimed that we are under the Mosaic Covenant, so I don't need to establish that. It is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20), so anyone who wants to repent from their sin in accordance with the Gospel can choose to obey it regardless of whether or not they are...

You neglected to give a reason why it is no logic at all. There is no meaning in saying that God is faithful without there being anything that defines what is or is not faithful, so it order for God to be eternally faithful, faithfulness must also exist. God's nature is eternal, so if...

In Deuteronomy 4:2, it its a sin to add to or subtract from the Mosaic Law, so Jesus could not raise the bar without disqualifying himself as our Savior, but even if he could do that, then that would mean that we the very least we should obey the Mosaic Law plus whatever he raised the bar to...

More hand waving. It is certainly possible that I have misunderstood verses that I've cited, so if you think that I have, then I invite you to explain why and what the correct understanding is, but if you simply insist that I am wrong without explaining why, then you fail to establish your...

In regard to the debate between the house of Hillel and the house of Shammai, Jesus was virtually in complete agreement with Hillel, so the Talmud teaches many things that are the same or similar to what Jesus taught. It is contains things that would fit right at home in the Proverbs and many...

For example: Exodus 12:25 And when you come to the land that the Lord will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service. Exodus 13:11-12 “When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and your fathers, and shall give it to you,12 you shall set apart...

Many people interpret actions of abolishing the Mosaic Law, fulfilling it, and the Mosaic Covenant becoming obsolete as meaning that we are no longer obligated to obey it, which is why I think that they are interpreting it as meaning essentially the same thing. Do you understand those actions...

I showed how you did, so your objections falls flat when you refuse to acknowledge what I said. You are engaging in handwaving, with again falls flat when you refuse to acknowledge what I said. Jesus spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example...

I didn't say anything about pretending to know what God thinks. I didn't say that they were not useful today. The Israelites were were given a number of laws while they were still wandering the wilderness for 40 years, so it was useful for them to have those laws, but they couldn't follow them...

If I disagree with someone, then I try to make the strongest case that I can to explain why. You made assumptions about what it means to be like a Pharisee, so I explained why are incorrect. You accuse me of stating opinions that are not articulated in Scripture, so I repeatedly cited...

Where is the flaw in my logic? I haven't claimed anything like that I know God's will perfectly, but I understand what it means for God's nature to be eternal and for God to be the same yesterday, today, and forever. Can you at least acknowledge there is a distinction between what something is...

It is not the case that everyone who thinks that followers of God should follow God's law is a Pharisee or thinks that Jesus broke the law, but rather there was a group of Pharisees who though that he broke it, and I think that those Pharisees were incorrect. Jesus set a perfect example for...

I establish that Christ taught his followers to obey the Law of Moses by word and by example, your position is that the Law of Christ is something other than the Law of Moses, so it follows that your position is that the Law of Christ is something other than what Christ taught. You've given no...

You said: "According to people like you of Jesus' time, Jesus was a law breaker." Why did you say that and what were you implying about my position by saying that? In Deuteronomy 30:11-20, it says that God's law is not too difficult to keep and that obedience brings life and a blessing while...

The good kings tended to live for much longer than the evil kings did. so while there were more evil kings, they were under a good king for a majority of the time, so while far from perfect is even further from a complete failure to keep it, so there were countless Jews who did keep it, and the...

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 of...
