You are making the common error of legalists: a false dichotomy.

That’s a great idea… when the verses aren’t controversial. This is one of the most controversial in the NT. It isn’t rocket science but it is a verse that needs more than a basic once-over.

I think you have made up your mind already.

^^^ This. ^^^

What is between the same covers is irrelevant because you cited the dictionary, not the lexicon.

Consider the context; it is critical to understanding this.

Yes, a few gentiles, but as an aggregate, no. Those who did were anomalous. Your argument doesn't hold water.

One pat answer, coming right up... 42. The answer is always 42.

False prophets in the end times? Yes, there were many. Ponder that, in light of the text of Scripture and the events that took place in Israel within the first 50 years after Christ was crucified. ;)

Chapter and verse. I'm not reading 28 chapters to satisfy your lazy ego.

I disagree, but that is irrelevant to the thread topic, because the Law is not associated with the covenant in Christ's blood.

Strong's is only a dictionary showing how words were used in the KJV. It has no evidentiary value outside of the KJV.

I like your optimism, but it is naive. Many jurisdictions simply will not licence a car built from spare parts; where I live, parts must be new or sourced from the government wrecker. Many people live in locations not adequately served by public or even commercial transit. Uber would be...

That depends on many factors, and needs to be considered from the perspective of both borrower and lender. Lenders should charge interest according to their reasonable potential gains with that money by other means (also called 'opportunity cost'). Because many banks are legally authorized to...

Hello, welcome, and my condolences. I would encourage you to sign up for the daily devotional from DivorceCare.org. I found it helpful and encouraging after my divorce. Also, you might find the Singles forum here relatively safe.

That isn't going to be sufficient. You would have to establish from contemporary extra-biblical usage that 'usury' in English simply meant 'interest' in the 1500's.

Yoke, not yolk. The gentiles didn't attend synagogues, so James' words would be directed to the Jews. Moses was preached to the Jews every Sabbath. The Christianized Jews would know Moses' commands well, and would be committed to ritual purity, so by directing the Christianized gentiles to...

The Law is within the covenant. Your out-of-context verses aren't going to convince me otherwise. Don't be ridiculous; it's got nothing to do with me. The temple was destroyed in 70 AD. You can't bring take your offering there anymore, and you can't find a priest to make an offering for you, so...

Yes: context is critical, and you aren't looking broadly enough. Paul was specifically addressing the issue of being justified before God (Gal. 2:16-17). The discussion of sin is within that context. His words through 3:14 are about justification generally, not just redemption for sin. There...

And yet the verses you posted support my position and refute yours. Exactly; the Law was given within the context of the covenant. Correct. The law is within the covenant, as I stated earlier. Wrong. The Law is part of the word. Yes, He will (does) put the Law in our hearts; He doesn't...
