The "Impossible" Gospel

[WomanLovesTX]

He kept ducking the question so I drew my own conclusion and gave my reasons. If anyone is throwing stones it is...oh, btw, are you born again?

Born again here!! Died to old non-covenant believer to be reborn into new covenant believer. Now I am cleansed of all my past sins of disobeying God's commandments and now have His commandments and the testimony of Y'shua Messiah. Gotta have both to be reborn.

Joh_3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh_3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
1Pe_1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Praise God coming from someone I don't recall asking. At least you are glad and unafraid to proclaim it.
Although being reborn is when His Law is written on our hearts.

Christ loved His Father and Christ kept God's commandments, and
because Christ is truth, He did not do away or add to Torah, because that would have made Him a sinner.

Christ gave the new covenant law of love (Mt 22:37-39) for those in the new covenant,
which fulfills the prophets and the law (Mt 22:40).

Christ likewise changed the law of retaliation to, or gave a new, law of non-retaliation.

 

[WomanLovesTX]

In short, you are right the law has not been done away with...us as Christians have...

Romans 7:1-4 Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives?
For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.
So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress.
So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.

BTW, you are not Christian? Are you Jewish or what?

The law Paul is speaking of is the Law of Marriage, Divorce, remarriage, and death.

Deu 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deu 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Deu 24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
Deu 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Why was Paul talking about the Law of Divorce? Because YHWH divorced the House of Israel and there was only one way He could remarry them without breaking His own law.

Deuteronomy 29 King James Version (KJV)

1These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day:
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:

Yes, that is the renewal of the Sinaitic covenant 40 years later

as they are preparing to go out to take the promised land.

 

[Elin]

You are a redemed yet why not keep the law in spirit ?

Because I am redeemed under the new covenant, and have Christ's new covenant law (Mt 22:27-39)

for my way of life, to be kept in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Oh Please. Is that why Jesus spent three years with His JEWISH disciples before His crucifixion.

Again for good measure...

Romans 7:6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

 

[Elin]

The law was a way of life for the redeemed (Lev 18:5), not a way of salvation for the lost.

He came to fulfill it, both in his life and in his command of Mt 22:37-40.

Which he did in keeping it perfectly, and dying according to its justice.

Jesus did not die according to the Torah justice!! Everything about His trial and cruxifiction was against the truth of Torah. The Pharisees brought in FALSE WITNESSES!! because they could not find anything of truth to accuse him of.

Jesus knew why He came and He even told us. Mat_15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

He died in our place according to the Levitical law prescribing the penalty for sin.

very interesting point you made about Jesus thus if we have Jesus we will obey the law

Romans 8 King James Version (KJV)

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Yes, those in the new covenant will obey Christ's new covenant law of Mt 22:37-39.

1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

6 But now hath he (Jesus) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8 For finding fault with them,(The law, the Torah) he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

The new covenant, testament of love grace and forgivness replaces the old testament law of condemnation for disobeying the rules.

16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law (The Torah), but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by (obedience to) the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

19 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.

1 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

And etc., etc., etc. There are multitudes of scripture on the subject.

The Jews hated their brothers of the House of Israel. Thus in the New Testament those of the House of Israel are called Gentiles. Paul even made that point.

Rom_11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Paul is again quoting from the OT.

Gen 48:9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
Gen 48:10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Gen 48:11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
Gen 48:12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
Gen 48:13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
Gen 48:14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Gen 48:15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
Gen 48:16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
Gen 48:17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
Gen 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
Gen 48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

Multitude = Fulness
Nations = Gentiles

Ephraim was the head of the House of Israel.

Eze_37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
Eze_37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

Which the above is also addressed by Paul in the NT.

Eph_2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Eph_2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Eph_2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Could that word "end" mean something other than "brought to an end"?

Or would we say that "the end of our faith" means our faith comes to a literal end? Of course not. The word "end" in these verses mean "end objective" or "end goal".

8 For finding fault with them,(The law, the Torah) he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

The new covenant, testament of love grace and forgivness replaces the old testament law of condemnation for disobeying the rules.

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

19 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.

1 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Here is something to add to Romans 7:4 and 6

Romans 7:4, 6 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.
But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

which is...

Galatians 2:20-21 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I do not set aside God’s grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

But all this means nothing in your pre-cooked ideas.

BIBLE VERSE 6 - Galatians 3:24-25 .....'Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.'


In the same chapter in verse 19, it says that the law was ADDED because of transgression. Now if this is also talking about the ten commandments, the moral law of God, then what was it ADDED to?

There is nothing to add it to. But if we take this verse in truth and apply it to the ceremonial laws and the priestly service, then it makes sense.

The ceremonial laws were ADDED to the ten commandments, BECAUSE OF SIN AGAINST THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

So then, the "schoolmaster" or forshadow of the priestly service, containing the ceremonial laws, which pointed to Christ Jesus, as He became our sacrifice for sin, and our High Priest.
