Roman catholic dogma in what way? I don't follow catholic teachings

Peter by all indications was the lead Apostle; it was his job to proclaim the gospel. James was head of the Jerusalem church; he wasn't sent to proclaim the gospel.

Christ likely confirmed the new covenant with the circumcision for 3.5 years before he was cut off. And then his body, the apostles of the circumcision, confirmed the covenant for another 3.5 years culminating in the head apostle of the church, Peter, opening the door to the gentiles by...

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal...

His commandments: Love God. love your neighbor The 4th commandment is observed and kept when we rest in the faith and knowledge that God is sanctifying us in Christ, which is loving God because we believe his witness

Why do you keep playing this game? Is it a Seventh Day Adventist script? I'll ask you again. how is doing any of those things loving God and one's neighbor?

Actually it does put an end to observing the letters. If the righteousness of the law is fulfilled by loving one's neighbor then there is no need for the letters of the law; they have become obsolete.

To settle once and for all if the gospel required gentiles to become circumcised and observe the law as some trouble-making pharisees were trying to get them to do. All of the apostles agreed that gentiles were saved by grace as they were. Works of law excludes grace and vice versa Peter was...

You're twisting the meaning. The 10 commandments are fulfilled, ie, completed fully, by loving our neighbor Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8 Fulfilled G4137 πληρόω pleroo (plee-ro'-ō) v. 1. to fully, completely fill.

Which means if you love your neighbor as yourself you have kept all of the commandments You shall not commit adultery; you shall not murder; you shall not steal; you shall not covet, and any other commandment is summed up in this saying, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Romans 13:9

Your reasoning is flawed and a stumbling block to the brothers. The righteousness of all the law is fulfilled in the two great commandments in which the sabbath does not appear. You're not being an honest person by avoiding explaining how believers in Christ who are dead to the law are required...

The only difference I see between how Jews were saved back then after the cross and how gentiles are saved after the cross is Jews were saved out of faith into justification and gentiles are saved through faith into justification. IMO today since the old covenant along with the law has been...

I hungered and thirsted for righteousness well before I believed in Christ. I even mocked Christians back then. So your claim that all unregenerate people hate righteousness and godliness is simply ignorant and not based on experience like I've had.

The gospel of grace was first proclaimed to the gentiles by Peter, not Paul, and it was no different than what all of the apostles followed. God is no respecter of persons. Works of law is not grace. Believing Jews zealously following the law was done out of ignorance of the fullness of God's...

Paul said those who proclaim another gospel than what he proclaimed are cursed. Acts 15 makes it clear that apostles to the circumcision and uncircumcision proclaimed the same gospel. The only reasons Jews in Jerusalem were so zealous for the law are because that was their culture and measure of...

How does grape juice take way the heart? Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. Hosea 4:11

You're just flip flopping around to avoid being pinned down. You said in post 1,068 that being regenerated means being born from above. Are you saying that people before Pentecost were born from above?

How were people before Pentecost born from above, ie regenerated?

Works of faith do not contradict justification by faith. When Paul contrasts works and faith he is referring to works of law

Believing Jews were not required by God to observe the law of Moses after the cross. God's laws written on our hearts has been his goal from the beginning for all of humanity, Israel included. Israel was just a parenthetical dispensation in order to bring that reality into existence.
