Acts 15:5-10
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
If you were born again you would understand not being under the law. You don't understand because you aren't and don't believe.
Galatians 3:10-12
[SUP]10 [/SUP]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Galatians 3:23-26
[SUP]23 [/SUP]But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Christians were given the gospel. The way of righteousness and hope. IF Moses law were to be a part of it it would have been added. If Moses law were to be dissected and some of it kept and some of it disposed of, that also would have been spelled out. But, as you can see by the bible, the law is not of faith. And faith is exactly what Christians are to walk in.

The finished work of Christ is that He gave us something that would cause our Righteousness, and He took away what could never cause our Righteousness.

In order for any individual to experience the new birth it has been established by an addition to the law the requirement of first resolving the murder of Jesus Christ by the faith of obeying the law which has been added. Since it is the rule of law there are no exceptions whatsoever. "Make every effort on your part to enter through the gate." Because if you do not have the faith to actually use that gate by the faith of obeying the law which has been added entry into God's kingdom is disallowed because of disobedience of a law.
OK upstart answer me. What does the scripture say that has happened to the law AFTER Jesus Christ's murder, burial, resurrection and ASCENSION? Was the law abolished or was it strengthened by adding a word to it?
"For it is not those who just hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who OBEY the law who will be declared righteous." Rom. 2:13
Now! Whom is it that shot himself in his head? Me or thee?

Look SDA, CoC or whatever your religious affiliation is. There is no disparagement on my part of despising the commandments of God. Your allegation is fully a falsehood. What your assumption is, and it is unilaterally false, is obedience of the written code is sufficient for being declared righteous by God. However the new wine was not placed into any formally used wine skin! Whomever tastes the old wine first absolutely despises the new wine and the wine skin that contains it!
