    Denominations?

    I'd choose the Russian Orthodox Church. I think it's not as bad as the Roman Catholic Church.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    I, too, believe that the ascended Christ revealed the Gospel of Grace to Paul during those 3 years in Arabia. The book you linked seems to be interesting. It's bedtime here -- I'll read it tomorrow.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Yes, it was really interesting! But, .... why didn't Paul go to Jerusalem right after his conversion? If Paul were to preach the exact same Gospel the Lord preached on Earth, he would have gone to Jerusalem in order to learn about it from the eyewitnesses. But his gospel was different. Here is...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    I told him that, but he wouldn't listen. After a few years he ended up working (as a pilot) for South America's greatest false prophet Edir Macedo.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Welcome to Christian Chat! Don't worry, Perfection, I'm not gonna submit myself to the Law of Moses. My point here is different -- I'm collecting opinions on the differences between the teachings of Jesus and those of Paul. Whom should we follow when they disagree? Check out this vid:

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Hi, UWC! I agree that Jesus hinted at salvation by grace. For example: “my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” In the video you linked, John Piper says he believes that the Lord gave us four Gospels so that we can more fully and accurately see and savor the glories of the Savior. A little...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    You believe that people who don't keep the Law of Moses are lawless and therefore will not be saved.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Hi, SG! But Nathan Rambeck's position is different from yours. He believes that Jesus preached the Law of Moses and states that the plan of salvation is found in the letters of Paul.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    I think your position is reasonable; the blood of our Lord is so powerful that it can have retroactive effect. Thanks for introducing me to this verse! I can tell you it has already made me more interested in the book of Job. OK, but that's not Jesus speaking; it's John. I'd like to hear...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    The two of us are of one mind that it was mainly Paul – not Jesus -- who told us to stop keeping the Law of Moses. Yes, Paul and other Jewish Christians continued to observe some ordinances; there was a long transition period between the Old and the New Covenant Regarding the young rich ruler...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    You’re right! Abraham and David were justified by grace through faith. Well, I don’t claim to have a perfect understanding of Scripture – I’m here to learn, not to teach. I think the term “salvation by grace” is quite confusing, so let me put my statement another way: Salvation by the blood of...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Normally, when a new legal system is created a number of old laws are preserved and this is what happened with the advent of the New Covenant. If the five books of Moses got lost forever this wouldn't affect our salvation because all laws of Moses that apply to Christians are in the New Testament.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Welcome to Christian Chat, UnitedWithChrist! Please, read the original post (on top) again. I said: "I'm not a law keeper". Basically, my point in this thread is this: The Lord Jesus, in his earthly walk, never told the disciples to stop keeping the law of Moses. Rather, He taught obedience to...

    I'm seeing it for the first time, but that's what I had in mind when I suggested putting together a choir (or at least a quartet). Now, check out this vid:
