Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” John 8:42-47
We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God. 1 Corinthians 8:1-3
Isn't it better to be known by God than to compare myself to anyone else or exalt myself as if I'm any better and then be rejected in the end?
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Matthew 7:21-23

after Jesus said this, He went on to say " everyone who hears these Words of Mine and puts them into practice.....
notice- He said this in present tense. meaning the words He was speaking. the words in red.
so, he was not referring back to the Torah, because He quoted parts of the Torah, and also spoke His own words.

It's the "here a little.....there a little."
"No God!"...."But, but, but.......wait!"
It's like a "jigsaw puzzle!" You supply some? He supplies some! You wanna work one border? He wanna work a "little" on that border. Then, move to another part of the puzzle. That's the "way it goes."
Or? You can rest on your laurels, in the smugness of your being saved, and hope and wait for Him to supply the the missing pieces, just because you believe.
Reminds me of several somebodies in this very forum, actually. -

You people never want to answer serious questions
its your downfall and one of the biggest reasons no one will listen to you
jesus told us which one went home justified, the mere fact you teach law as the pharisee did, and refuse to acknowledge you humbled yourself to become poor in spirit (spiritually bankrupt) is more than enough to let us know what you are doing
i pray you are humbled soon
you can post all the scripture you want, it is meaningless
the legalist works at being obedient, thinking he is saved, he will try to use those works as arguing points on judgment day, jesus will tell them to depart, he never knew them
good luck trying to earn your salvation.
i gave you an opportunity to prove me wrong, you lost that chance

If you had any scriptural knowledge you would know the three passages of scripture i refer 2.
in the words of moses
Deuteronomy 27:26
‘Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this law by observing them.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ”
In the words of paul
Galatians 3:10
[ The Law Brings a Curse ] For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
in the words of james
so before you attack people of not knowing the word, as i have told you so many times before, look to yourself, you should have known those verses, especially after i have posted them numerous times
again, if people have ever kept the law, they are not under the curse of the law, period, and they did not need jesus death, period.

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Galatians 3:24-25
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
The Lord said it first in Matthew 11.
Paul then expounds on it in Galatians 3.
They are saying the same things. Just in different ways.
