Yes, that's interesting when some groups try to push the law of Moses onto Moses. As if they were his laws. Moses was a prophet. God gave him the laws to write down. The term the law of Moses refers to all five books of the law. But they are still God's laws, not Moses' laws.

The NIV translation makes it clearer. It says, "our legal indebtedness". Basically, the condemnation of the law toward us. Colossians 2:14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross...

You got that right. Jesus said it best. John 5:45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.

Right. And frankly, the NT didn't even exist at the time this scripture was written. To what was the writer referring? What was "the word of truth" at that time? It may have included more than just the existing OT. Perhaps the whole message of the gospel that they were entrusted with. No...

I guess I was half right then. (or less)

So, you speak in tongues?

I'm guessing you are a King James person. Not like all those other modern translation sinners. lol -- But I could be wrong.

My pet peeve is when people use the Bible to give their own ideas biblical authority. It usually begins with, "God's word says..." and then you get their twisted opinion, which typically has little or nothing to do with the misused scripture. Thus wrongly handling...

Do you mean handling what rightly divided means accurately, or accurately dividing what rightly handling means? Or how do you divide accurately what rightly handling means? Divided rightly means accurately handling, right? Shouldn't we learn to rightly add and subtract before we rightly...

Why was Cain's offering rejected by God? (in one sentence please)

Where's the news? That was discussed in the OP. Once again, you are arguing just to argue.

Yes, that would have had a fighting chance against Abel's barbequed lamb. lol

If you come up with anything of value to contribute, please do.

Right here.

Nor do we need you over-spiritualizing what is plain as day.

Wow. That's a terrific observation. Thanks.

Yes, we really don't know how all that worked. It seems to me that Moses may have written the first five books in somewhat reverse order. Recording events he was wirness too first and the law God was giving to the Israelites through him. Then Exodus and finally Genesis as the last to be...

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

There's a topic. I love the unanswered question in Gen.3. "Who told you that you were naked?" (something to that effect) Indeed. Who did tell Adam that he was naked? At the end of Gen.3 they were naked an unashamed.

You are scratching at straws. Can you make a solid statement directly from the text? What do we know for sure based on the text?
