all I’m saying is Moses law blinds people to Christ ,
Moses' law is a schoolmaster to lead people to Christ (Galatians 3:24-25)...[/quote]
the gospel presents God as he is in truth the law shows God how Adam saw him like this
“And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
Genesis 3:10 KJV
that’s how they saw him when he gave the law they asked God not to speak anymore
“Now therefore
why should we die? for this great fire will consume us:
if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die.”
Deuteronomy 5:25 KJV
God approved their request and then he promised to send Jesus to speak his word to the people later
“
According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying,
Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
And the Lord said unto me,
They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
Deuteronomy 18:16-19 KJV
That’s Moses himself explaining that the latter word to come was Zelda requirement that’s what Peter is explaining here about Jesus
“For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea, and
all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Unto you first
God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”
Acts 3:22-24, 26 KJV
of Moses understood Christs word was Gods word of requirement why shouldn’t we ? That’s why it’s written Moses law was temporary only meant to last until Jesus arrived [/quote]
Yet it is written on the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5; 1 John 2:3-6).
“Wherefore then serveth
the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was
ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”
Galatians 3:19
We understand who the seed is
“Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.”
Galatians 3:16 KJV
the law has a purpose it was put in place to give the knowledge of sin to sinners
“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;”
1 Timothy 1:9-10 KJV
why was it in place until Christ came ? Because only someone conscious of thier sin will ever repent of it , and realize they need a savior righteous people don’t think they have anything to repent of that’s how the law leads us to Christ it reveals that we’re sinners to and will die without Jesus
it was only meant to last until the promosed seed came[/quote]
So, the question is whether or not you think you are still righteous even when the law shows you to be a sinner.
Some sinners don't think that they have anything to repent of; and if anyone righteous, he doesn't have anything to repent of.
But righteousness is a practical thing in holy scripture (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).
The promised seed came in order to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21) and to redeem us from all iniquity (Titus 2:14).
“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
Luke 16:16 KJV
The only reason I think it’s important is when Christians preach that other Christians need to keep the law of Moses ot is actually subverting the soul of the person hindering thoer salvation
I don't think so; because the law is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24-25).
“Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:”
Acts 15:24 KJV
it’s a yoke no one can bear and no Christian needs try to bear
“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?”
Acts 15:10 KJV
It may indeed be a burden to be under the bondage of having to obey a set of do's and don't perfectly in order to be saved;
However, in the gospel of Jesus Christ salvation is through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ and as the result the love of the Lord is shed abroad in the hearts of those who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ.
This love is not impractical (1 John 3:17-18) and is the fulfilling of the righteousness of the law within the life of the believer (Romans 13:8-10, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6; Romans 8:4).
It is not that a man must obey the law perfectly in order to be saved (that would apply to all those who are attempting to be justified by the law); it is that a man is justified through faith in the blood of Jesus and is set free to live a holy life even according to the righteous standard of the law.
Brother my only intent in discussing with you was hoping you would let in the scripture that you must not have seen or considered much but I’m capable of being wrong like anyone is I just believe the scripture is pretty clear on this subject
I have considered the scriptures that you have presented and have not rejected them.
Again, I believe that you are speaking in regards to justification while I am speaking more along the lines of sanctification in the life of the believer.
