Indeed, though Jesus did not say anything about usurping the greatest two commandments. In Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from the Mosaic Law, so if Jesus had done as you suggest, then he would have sinned and disqualified himself aa being our Savior. Likewise, in...

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 the fulfill the Law and the Prophets, he then proceeded to...

The phrase “Law and the Prophets” straightforwardly refers to everything in the Law and the Prophets, not to just ten of its commandments. Jesus said that all of the other commandments hang on the greatest two, so if you think that we should obey the greatest two commandments, then you should...

In Proverbs 3:5-7, we have a choice between whether we are going to lean on our own understanding of right and wrong by doing what is right in our own eyes or whether we are going to trust in God with all of our heart to correctly divide between right and wrong through obeying what He has...

In Acts 5:32, the Spirit has been given to those who obey God. In John 16:13, the Spirit has the role of leading us in truth, in Ezekiel 36:26-27, the Spirit has the role of leading us to obey the Mosaic Law, and in Psalms 119:142, the Mosaic Law is truth. In John 16:8, the Spirit has the role...

Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example, so Galatians should not be interpreted as speaking against following Christ's example of obedience to God. It is absurd to interpret God's word as saying that it is foolish to obey God's word. In...

In Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from the Mosaic Law, so Christ did not do that. The Israelites were given a number of laws while they were still wandering the wilderness for 40 years that had the condition "when you enter the land...", so there is nothing wrong with having...

In Deuteronomy 4:2, it is a sin to add to or subtract from the Mosaic Law, and in Deuteronomy 13:1-5, the way that God instructed His people to determine that someone is a false prophet who is not speaking him was if they taught against obeying the Mosaic Law, so if your post were correct, then...

You should not mistake me contradicting you with me contradicting God and Jesus. I did not say anything that contradicted Titus 3:4-7. According to Titus 2:11-13, it is neither the case that we are required to have first done those works in order to earn our salvation as the result nor are we...

The Bible speaks about our salvation in the past, present, and future tense, so we have been saved from the penalty of our sins (Ephesians 2:5), we are being saved from continuing to live in sin (Philippians 2:12), and we will be saved from God's wrath on the day of the Lord. Our salvation from...

So do you believe that the way to follow Christ is by refusing to follow everything he taught during his ministry and by following what he did not teach to follow? In the Great Commission, Jesus instructed them to make disciples of all nations, teach everything that he taught them, not that the...

All of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalms 119:160), so they will never become superseded. The Mosaic Law came with instructions for what to do when His people did not keep it perfectly, so it never required us to do that.

In Exodus 20:7, it changes from God speaking in the first person to speaking about God in the third person, so arguably God only spoke the first two Commandments at that time, though all of God's commandments are God's commandments regardless of whether God spoke them, wrote them, or instructed...

In Titus 2:11-13, it doesn't say that we become saved first and then we will do those works as the result or fruit of our salvation, but rather it describes the content of God's gift of salvation as being trained by grace. You can insist that God ordered it otherwise, but not while upholding...

The mystery refers to the Sod level of interpretation in PaRDeS. Gentiles being fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel is directly connected with living in obedience to God's law. In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his...

Multitudes is not the same as a few and they were included into Israel, so you are hand waving. The Mosaic Law is the instructions of the God of Israel for how to believe in Him, which is why there are many verses that connect our faith or belief in God with our obedience to Him, such as...

The fruits of the Spirit are aspects of God's nature, the Son is the embodiment of the fruits of the Spirit, and God's word is His instructions for how to embody His nature, which is why Jesus is God's word made flesh. The Son is the image of the inviable God (Colossians 1:15) and he is the...

In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, so while we are under the New Covenant and not the Mosaic Covenant, the OP is still correct. The Mosaic Law is God's word and Christ is God's word made flesh, so it is opposing the...

In Exodus 12::38, there was a mixed multitude that came up out of Egypt with the Israelites, so there were Gentiles at the foot of Sinai, and in John 8:33, Israel was inclusive of both the foreigner and the native born, so Israel is inclusive of all Gentiles who believe in the God of Israel. In...

Do you affirm or deny the truth of Titus 2:11-13? It does not say that we are required to have first done those works in order to become saved or that will do those works as the result of having first been saved, but rather it describes the content of God's gift of salvation as being trained by...
