Yep taking a few Scriptures out of context once again.
Matt. 5:18 is not a Scripture that commands BELIEVERS to follow the Law. It's a Scripture that says it still exists. But we are DEAD to it. The old ways are gone.
Revelation 21:1 is just you proof texting.
Sure be lead by Him, but He's also in the believers around you. If you don't believe that. Why do you try to correct people?
John 12:48 - "The word that I have spoken." You are conflating this Scripture. It has nothing to do with the LAW.
John 12:4 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever
believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 The one who looks at me is
seeing the one who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as a light, so that
no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
By your own words you think people are sinning right now. People who don't follow the Law. Yet these are people who believe in Him. So are YOU believing the WORD He has spoken?
Acts 3:19-23 Yes follow everything
HE says, and He says BELIEVE on HIM. But you're conflating this Scripture if you think this is about the Law. It's about Jesus.
Here's some Scripture about Him:
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning
himself. (
Luke 24:27)
For
all the promises of God find their Yes in
him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. (
2 Corinthians 1:20)
For
Christ is the
end of the law for righteousness to
everyone who believes. (
Romans 10:4)
"The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed
until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and
everyone is forcing his way into it. (Luke 16:16)
Well you gave commentary in my name a bit there huh?
Im fine with the view that Mat 5:18 simply means the Law is not gone, but you said ti's not to be followed... LOL!!!
Matthew 5:17-19, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done. Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens;
but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.”
Ohh and you translation of Romans 10:4 is not true to the koine greek...
The word translated “end” is word#G5056, τέλος, telos, tel'-os
From a primary word τέλλω tellō (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid):—+ continual, custom, end (-ing), finally, uttermost. Compare G5411.
Lets look at places this word is used in the Konie Greek originals to get an idea of it meaning and context;
Romans 10:4, "For Christ is the end (telos) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
Romans 10:4, "For Yahshua is the ultimate result (telos) of the Law unto righteousness for everyone who believes."
1Peter 1:9, "Receiving the end (telos) of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
1 Peter 1:9, "Receiving the ultimate result (telos) of your faith – the salvation of your souls."
If the its the end of the Law aka Law is done away or at an end in Romans 10:4 then faith must also be done away or at an end in 1 Peter 1:9. Unless of course “telos” means the goal.

1 Timothy 1:5-7, " But the goal* of our instruction/command is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions."
