Does anyone know of....

That was not the point. the point was the capability of obeying the Law. And here is just one example where Josiah obeyed the Law perfectly:

2 KINGS 22,23: KING JOSIAH IS YOUR EXAMPLE
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left...
13 Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us...

18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
19 Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.
20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place...

23:3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

Which means that you will now have to seriously REVISE your theology. Let's hope you do that instead of doubling down in error.

Why do you kick so hard against the clear teachings of the Scriptures?

No, it means that you need to reconcile numerous contradictions in the bible that contradict that passage. You just made God out to be a liar! This is so typical of purveyors of false gospels. You post stuff that you think proves your point and just pretend a whole slew of contradictory passages aren't in the bible.

You seem to be missing the point of what Nehemiah6 is attempting to make.

He is simply stating that mankind can strive to obey God. This is after all our purpose/duty in life.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
New International Version
13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.

It's easy to do when someone willfully ignores the context of a passage. Did you happen to notice to whom "sinless" Josiah was being compared to in 2Ki 22:2?

Sinless Josiah???? I don't think I am following your question. What gives you the idea that Josiah was sinless, unless you were being rhetorical.


Sir, I would suggest to you, in all kindness, that there is NO CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE.

Seeming contradictions are only in the mind of people, thus prompting every believer to study and pray more, in the hope that the Lord shall reveal the Truth to the one confused.

I hope you take this in the spirit it was given.

IOW, Josiah was a sinless human being.

Don't be absurd! Nehemiah6 is not claiming King Josiah was sinless!

Nehemiah6 is simply quoting the following:

Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and followed completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left.

Nehemiah6 never uses the verbiage or implies that King Josiah was a sinless human being. You are simply misquoting him.

Nor is he implying that the Bible contradicts itself. Nor is he calling God a liar.

What I read is NOT try (or strive) to keep the commandments. Where do you get that from???????
It seems you cannot read plain English. It clearly says to KEEP His commandments. Peter says none
could... calling the law a yoke that none could bear. Perhaps you fail to understand that also.
It goes along with there being none righteous. Squeeze those glutes harder.

I know some who believe much of the reformed faith, but who still have doubts concerning their salvation.

Who are you, Yoda?

There is no "do" without "try".

Luke 12:58 New International Version
As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

1st Cor. 14:12 New International Version
So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

Ephesians 5:10 New Revised Standard Version
Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord.

etc.

Really? Nehemiah said Josiah "obeyed the law perfectly". You're lying when you say I misquoted him. That's what HE said. So now you're saying that someone who obeys the law perfectly is not sinless? Then pray tell, how would you classify someone who has obeyed the law perfectly? Did Jesus obey the law perfectly? Was Jesus sinless or not? If not, how would you classify Jesus?

And yes, if Josiah obeyed the law of God perfectly, then that would contradict numerous scriptures; for only the Son of David did that! Evidently Nehemiah must also think that king David obeyed the law perfectly since Josiah is clearly compared to his father David. Don't blame me if your buddy is hopelessy confused.

Got any more deflections, grasshopper? How trying your life must be! I hope you are able to find rest in our Lord. Allow h
Him to work through you as He promised to, and you may not have to try so hard.

The "reformed FAITH" isn't a "FAITH" at all - it's only a "THEOLOGICAL SYSTEMATIC".

"Theology" can't make anybody "Secure", since it's nothing but intellectual assent to a bunch of controversial concepts/ interpretations.

FAITH, grounded in a living relationship with God through the Holy Spirit is where SECURITY comes from. No place else.

Wouldn't Yoda say Padawan, and not grasshopper? Is this a new use of the force you are unveiling?

Deflections? In what way are they deflections?
