God is sovereign, so we are all under His law and obligated to refrain from sin. In Genesis 18:19, God knew Avraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in His way by doing righteousness and justice that the Lord may bring to him all that He has promised. In...

Claiming to. be a doer of the law is not claiming to be without sin. There are many examples in the Bible of people who were doers of the law, such as in Joshua 22:1-3, Luke 1:5-6, Revelation 14:12, and Revelation 22:14, though only Jesus was without sin. The law itself came with instructions...

It Deuteronomy 10:12-16, it instructs to circumcise our hearts and obey the Mosaic Law. In Deuteronomy 30:1-10, it prophesies about a time when the Israelites would return from exile, God would circumcise their hearts, and they would return to obedience to the Mosaic Law. In Ezekiel 36:26-27...

Your blatant disregard for the context of that parable is noted. Indeed, while Christ is greater than Moses, then same God who gave the law to Moses also sent Jesus in fulfillment of the promise to lead us to obey in accordance with spreading the Gospel. It is wrong, just was fulfilling the...

I saw your point, it's just incorrect. It is contradictory to think that relying on what God has instructed is doing our best.

In Deuteronomy 30:11-20, it says that God's law is not too difficult for us keep and that keeping it brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so choose life! Moreover Romans 10:5-8 references Deuteronomy 30:11-20 as the word of faith that we proclaim, so we can...

God's law is God's word and Jesus is God's word made flesh, so it is contradictory to think that we are justified by faith in God's word made flesh, but not in God's word. God is trustworthy, therefore His instructions are also trustworthy (Psalms 19:7), so the way to trust God is by obediently...

Please quote where God said that.

No, that was never the goal of why we should obey it. Character traits in general are not produced by our works, but rather the only way to attain a character trait is through faith that we ought to be doers of that trait, through becoming someone who has a character trait means becoming...

I denied that we can earn our justification even as the result of perfect obedience to the Law and Acts 13:39 denies that we can earn our justification as the result of obedience to the Law of Moses, so I'm not seeing what you think needs to be reconciled. All throughout the Bible, God wanted...

I don't see any grounds for interpreting Romans 2:13 as referring to something other than the Law of Moses.

"As a wage" is connected to "earn" and the point is that it was never the case that we are the way to become righteous is the result of having first done works, but rather the only way to become righteous that is testified about in the Law and the Prophets is through faith in Christ (Romans...

Under the Mosaic Covenant, we should love ourselves as God loves us, so that is also how we should love our neighbors, and that is not different under the New Covenant.

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, in 1 Kings 2:1-3, God taught how to walk in His way through the Mosaic Law, and in John 17:3, eternal life is knowing God and Jesus. In Jeremiah 9:3 and 9:6, they did...

Even if someone managed to have perfect obedience to God's law, then they still wouldn't earn their justification as a wage, so that has always been a fundamental misunderstanding of why we should obey God's law. While Paul denied in Romans 4:1-5 that we can earn our justification as a wage, he...

The New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33), so there is not a different way of being justified under the New Covenant. In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted God to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by...

While we do not earn the promise as the result of having first obeyed God's law, that does not mean that the obedience to God's law is not central to the content of what the promise is in regard to. In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom...

Even if someone managed to have perfect obedience to God's law, then we still would not earn our justification as a wage (Romans 4:1-5), so that was never the goal of why we should obey it. In Romans 3:21-22, it does not say that the Law and the Prophets testify that the righteousness of God...

God is trustworthy, therefore His instructions are also trustworthy (Psalms 19:7), so the way to trust God is by obediently trusting in His instructions and it is contradictory for someone to think that we should trust God, but should not trust His instructions. When someone does something in...

Calling me clueless about the Gospel does not demonstrate that I am wrong. 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)...
