Nowhere does the Bible say that Jesus became the law for us or that we need to follow it perfectly. God's law came with instructions for what to do when His children sinned, so it never required us to have perfect obedience. Repentance doesn't change the fact that we have not had perfect...

Paul spoke about multiple categories of law other than the Law of God, such as the law of sin or works of the law, so we should be careful to discern which law he was referring to. For example, in Romans 7:21-8:2, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God and served it with his...

Jesus taught how to walk in obedience to Torah by setting a sinless example for us to follow and in Matthew 11:28-30, he was inviting people to come to him for rest and to learn from him, not inviting people to come to him for rest instead of learning from him. Moreover, by Jesus saying that we...

I didn't say that it was. In Psalms 119:142, the Torah is truth, and in John 8:31-16, it is the transgression of the Torah that puts us into bondage while the truth sets us free.

The yoke of Christ is the yoke of the Kingdom, which is obeying the Torah that he spent his ministry teaching by word and by example, and which he was inviting people to learn from him in Matthew 11:28-30. Moreover, by Jesus saying that they would find rest for our souls, he was referencing...

God's way is the way to know Him and Jesus by being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits, such as in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in God's way by being a doer of righteousness and justice that the Lord...

Even the concept of false gods was created by God so that we would have a choice.

If you break any law and become a lawbreaker, then you need to repent and return to obedience, which is precisely what James was encouraging them to do. His point has nothing to do with saying that the law only proves our guilty, not how to live, so you are taking that verse out of context.

The fact that I have not kept God's law perfectly does not mean that I have never kept it. The reason why we should obey God's law had nothing to do with trying to pay the penalty for our sin on our own. In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for...

When I have not kept it, then I have repented.

I don't claim to have perfect obedience to God's law, but to fulfill the law you just need to correctly do what it instructs. When a husband is fulfilling his marriage vows he is correctly acting in accordance with what he has vowed. God's law was never given as a means of saving ourselves...

Where did you get that definition and why are you rejecting the definition from the NAS Greek Lexicon? According to Galatians 5:14, anyone who has ever loved their neighbor has fulfilled the entire law, so again it refers to correctly obeying it as it should be. Moreover, it refers to...

“To fulfill the law” means “to cause God’s will (as made known by the law) to be obeyed as it should be” (NAS Greek Lexicon: pleroo). That doesn’t follow, but rather the opposite is true. The Gospel is based on the premise that we can keep God’s law because there would be no point in calling...

n James 2:1-11, he was speaking to people who had sinned by committing favoritism, so he was not telling them that he needed to have perfect obedience because that would have already been too late and he was not discouraging them from trying to keep God's law, but rather he was encouraging them...

The Law of God leads us to do what is godly, righteous, and good (Romans 7:12) while the law of sin leads us in the opposite direction by staring up sinful passion in order to bear fruit unto death (Romans 7:5), so Paul is contrasting the two laws throughout this passage. In Romans 6:14, Paul...

While I agree that the only way to attain the promises is by faith, the content of what is promised is in regard to obeying God's law. In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of Go is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and God's...

In Romans 7:21-8:2, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God and that he served it with his mind, but contrasted it with the law of sin that was waging war against the law of his mind, that held him captive, and which he served with his flesh. Furthermore, he said that the Law of...

The Bible often uses the same terms to describe the character of God as it does to describe the character of God's law, such as with it being holy, righteous, and good (Romans 7:12) or with justice mercy, and faithfulness being weightier matters of the law (Matthew 23:23), which is because it is...

I used God's word to support what I said, so my argument is not with God's word, but with your incorrect interpretation of it. If the Mosaic Covenant were made of no effect, so would be its promises, and God would be a breaker of His promises. The Mosaic Covenant is eternal (Exodus 31:14-17...

Sin is what is contrary to God's character, such as with unrighteousness being sin, and sin is the transgression of God's law because it was given to teach us how to be a doer of His character traits. The law can't give us knowledge of what is unrighteous without also giving us knowledge of how...
