Jesus lived under the law but why does Jesus still before resurrection change the law? He was supposed to fulfill it

like this:
"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.'

thats what the torah states in deuteronomy leviticus and many places. sometimes God even says make an oath in LORD's name only in Deuteronomy 6:13. so why does Jesus change it to:

"But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;"....

why does it change before resurrection of Jesus where new covenant comes? its almost like rebuking God. of course Jesus has power to change the law i got no problem with it, its just timing that concern me because it says new covenant begins when Jesus resurrects, but here this is said when Jesus is still not died and resurrected yet.

A will is written before death and then ratified at the time of death.............same is true of the New Covenant.......MANY fail to grasp the words of JESUS under this banner...He was born, lived and died under the LAW which ratified the NEW Covenant....and to add insult to injury, the workers for, Cainologists, Pharisees and salvation losers conflate salvation and justification with ongoing sanctification and in so doing peddle a dogma straight from hell.....!

Faith without works is not the faith that justifies apart from works.
Even Luther said this.

When you trusted Jesus unto justification, how many works did you have to do before God justified you?

I did none but believe (which I do not call a work), but works followed justification out of gratitude

Benedicamus, what you are red exxing is in agreement with Romans 4. So you disagree with Paul.

welcome to roman catholicism. this is why you should never debate roman catholic unless you put one premise: bible trumps what church(es) say. they belief only they can interpret bible and its owned by the church so what they say trumps bible. if thats the case all discussion is waste of time

There is no discussion to be had with you.

You are here for the sake of debate, not discussion.

Someone should have set you straight a long time ago.

Excellent answer.

Having begun in the Spirit, we are perfected in the Spirit. We are kept the same way way we were saved in the first place. By the power of God through faith

Key: "through faith"
You have to keep believing to be protected by the power of God.
The newest version of once saved always saved says you don't have to continue in the 'faith' part to be kept by the power of God.
Maybe you don't realize it, but this new form of osas does not agree with you that believers will without doubt continue to believe.

I believe Discern said that continual belief is necessary. So on that front we have unity.

EleventhHour doesnt believe that continual faith is necessary. So a major disconnect there.
