Paul directed stated that he delighted in obeying the Law of God and served it with his mind in contrast with the law of sin and directly contrasted those who walk in the Spirit with those who have minds set on the flesh who are enemies of God who refuse to submit to the Law of God, so I didn’t...

In Romans 7:22-8:4, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God and served it with his mind in contrast with the law of sin the held him captive that he served with his flesh and he said that the the Law of the Spirit has freed us from the law of sin and death, so the freedom that we...

Claiming it is far from demonstrating it to be the case. Nowhere does the Bible say that, rather in Romans 10:5-8, it references Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to proclaiming that God's law is not too difficult for us to keep and that obedience to it brings life...

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 passions in order to bear fruit unto death (Romans 7:5), so it is important to be careful not to mistake things that were said in regard to...

Sin is what is contrary to God's character traits, such as with unrighteousness being sin and sin is the transgression of God's law because it was given to teach us how to teach us how to be a doer of God's character traits. God's character traits are eternal, so any instructions that God has...

A child of God is someone whose life is directed at being in His likeness by being a doer of His character traits in obedience to His law, which is why those who do not practice righteousness in obedience to it are not children of God (1 John 3:4-10) and why Paul contrasted those who are born of...

Good works are not extrinsic to salvation, so we are not required to have first done enough good works in order to earn our salvation as the result and we are not required to do good works as the result of having first been saved, but rather the experience being a doer of good works is...

In Romans 10:5-10, Paul referenced Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to proclaiming that God's law is not too difficult for us to obey, that obedience to it brings life and a blessing, in regard to what we are agreeing to obey by confessing that Jesus is Lord, and in...

There are many verses that show that the Torah is the way to walk in God's way, such as in Deuteronomy 10:12-12, Isaiah 2:2-3, Joshua 22:5, 1 Kings 2:1-3, Psalms 103:7, Psalms 119:1-3, and many others.

When a man and woman get married, then she takes or carries his last name, but if she were to act in a way that was unfaithful to him or that diminished his reputation, then she would be taking his last name in vain. Similarly, the Mosaic Covenant is often described in terms of being a marriage...

The way to believe in God is by having the goal of being in His likeness by being a doer of His character traits. For example, by being a doer of good works in obedience to God’s instructions we are testifying about God’s goodness, which is why our good works bring glory to Him (Matthew 5:16)...

That does not interact with what I said. It is not a fallacy to thoroughly support what I say with the Bible. I have not ignored that passage. The position of rebellious people who are ruining whole households is not that we should repent and obey what God has commanded in accordance with the...

In Titus 2:11-13, our salvation is described as being trained by grace to do what is godly, righteous, and good, and to renounce doing what is ungodly, so obeying God’s law has nothing to do with trying to earn our salvation, but rather God graciously teaching us to be a doer of His law is the...

That doesn’t interact with what I said and is a moot point because it is the same thing. The same God who gave His law to Moses also sent Jesus in fulfillment of the promise to turn us from our wickedness in disobedience to it (Acts 3:25-26), so there is no disagreement. In Matthew 4:15-23...

The only way to abolish God’s instructions for how to be in His likeness by being a doer of His character traits would be by first abolishing God.

A newer covenant doesn’t nullify the promises of covenants that have already been ratified (Galatians 3:16-19), so God’s covenants are cumulative. One thing can only make another thing obsolete insofar as it has cumulative functionality. For example, a computer makes a typewriter obsolete, but...

Romans 2:26 “So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?” ‭‭ That verse notably does notably does not state that a Gentile who has faith will be regarded as circumcision, but one who keeps the law, though the Bible...

The view that we have of the law matches the view that we have of the Lawgiver for giving it. For example, a wise God is a giver of wise laws and a righteous God is not a giver of unrighteousness laws. The Psalms express an extremely positive view of obeying God’s law, such as the David...

If God freed Israel out of bondage in Egypt in order to put them under bondage to His law, then it would be for bondage that God sets us free, however, Galatians 5:1 says that it is for freedom that God sets us free, and God’s law is of freedom (Psalms 119:45). In Psalms 119:142, God’s law is...

In Romans 2:25-29, the way to tell that a Gentile has a circumcised heart is by observing their obedience to God’s law and circumcision of the heart is a matter of the Spirit, which is in in accordance with Ezekiel 36:26-27, where God will take away our hearts of stone, give us hearts of flesh...
