Those words are not “mistranslated”. They are translated into the only available English words. The fact that the English words have senses of meaning that don’t align with the Greek “pisteuo” is not anyone’s fault. Deal with it.

You didn’t answer the question.

You might want to read Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews.

You clearly implied it. If you don’t appreciate being called out on your bad behaviour, don’t behave badly.

That isn't what salvation means. The law was not "given to describe the life of a righteous person as it describes the life of Christ". Scripture tells us plainly why the Law was given: because of transgressions (Galatians 3:19).

I can turn grape juice into wine... but I guess that doesn't count, and I'm not really doing anything anyway. ;)

Salvation is firstly about not paying the penalty for our own sin. Jesus also obeyed all (relevant) ordinances among the other 600-odd. By your logic we should follow those as well. He also walked on water....

No Scripture? Ah, so quoting Jesus is “no Scripture”. Okay. John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." Happy now?

I have told you repeatedly that your invented definition is incorrect. You have not bothered to correct it.

Dodge! Please cite the Scripture where God distinguishes between moral, civil, and ceremonial laws... and get your spelling sorted.

Yes, that is a bait question. You have an agenda to support, even if it justifying your personal views. I don’t think it is appropriate to “love myself” by attending to my “felt needs” over and above my genuine needs. In the same way, I don’t think it is appropriate to attend to the expressed...

He doesn’t claim to be Jewish. My fundamental disagreement with Soyeong is not the result of me walking away from the faith. It is far more likely that he never had it.

If you pay attention to his posts, you’ll realize this is exactly what he does.

It appears that you don’t understand what Soyeong is promoting. It’s not “good works” as Christians understand them; it’s following the ordinances of the old covenant law. Please don’t encourage him.

I saw your bait question earlier but I chose to ignore it. You obviously have a chip on your shoulder.

You continue to say this but you have no evidence. You lack integrity.

Yes, I stop to ask God about it.

Did any of the biblical authors distinguish between moral, civil, and ceremonial laws?

If the need is something you can legitimately meet, without endangering or impoverishing yourself, then God may want you to meet it. Or He may not. He may want someone else to meet that need. He may know that the person requesting is a scammer. He is God, and He knows best. That's why it is...

You would do well to learn the meaning of “concise”… and to embody that.
