what class of Jew was rich, and ruled over the people?

which of us was not His enemy, when He loved us?

to which person who believed in Him did He ever say why do you call me good?

what kind of person says what can I "do" to earn salvation?

Vassal said that because he believes salvation is through the law. Christ obviously knew that He is the Savior and salvation through
Him alone, so He couldn't have been telling him to try to satisfy the law to become saved. Vassal and those of his ilk, find particular verses they like, isolate them out of context, and base their entire conclusion upon that.
 
I did not intend any insult to you or say anything to suggest that I think that I am intellectually superior in the word to everyone else, so I apologize.

According to Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to determine that someone is a false prophet is if they speak against obeying the Law of Moses, so if you think that Paul should be interpreted as doing that, then why do you not consider him to be a false prophet? If you do not consider Paul to be a false prophet, then why do you not object to you interpreting him as speaking against obeying the Law of Moses?
again, you are suggesting we who disagree with your understanding of the law are saying not to obey the law. That is false. What I am saying is. Paul's teaches following the law doesn't save you.


What did say was this:

God gave Israel the Mosaic Law for one purpose: to reveal sin and condemn (Romans 3.19-20). Paul wrote Timothy:

8 But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted (1 Timothy 1.8-11).
No one who spends time with Paul will conclude the Church is under the Mosaic Law. The great apostle’s teachings are completely contrary to such thought. Tragically, the vast majority of Christendom know little of Paul nor understand his teachings.

When one reads acclaimed Pauline “experts” and “scholars” one finds they too have little comprehension of Paul’s doctrines or knowledge of his revelations (secrets).


Paul the Pharisee

Paul trained as a Pharisee and became a zealot of Judaism and the Mosaic Law.

Paul thought he doing God’s will and keeping the Law in arresting, torturing, and killing those who believed Jesus was the promised Messiah. How wrong he was!

In God’s matchless grace, God saved Saul of Tarsus.

God redirected Paul’s zeal for His own purposes and commissioned him “the apostle of the Gentiles”
(Romans 11.13) and the apostle of grace.

No one ever experienced such a radical change in outlook and direction as Paul.

As a Hebrew of the Hebrews, God sent him to Gentiles. As a legalistic zealot, God revealed righteous living apart from the administration of the Mosaic Law. To effect this transformation, God gave Paul revelations, “secrets” (μυστήριον), God had kept hidden from the Law and prophets, and from the Twelve.

God gave the Mosaic Law to Israel through Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 20). The Mosaic Law was God’s moral, ceremonial, and civil law to govern a Jew’s daily life.


2 The Decalogue expressed God’s moral law. But the moral law existed long before Moses’ encounter with God on Mt. Sinai. The moral law reflects the nature and character of God and is eternal. God codified the moral law in the Mosaic Law and made Israel accountable to it. Before the Mosaic Law, morality was “written on the heart” (Romans 2.14-15) in man’s conscience.
Paul taught that Israel alone had received the Mosaic Law and was under its administration. Gentiles were excluded from the Law, as was the Church, the body of Christ (Ephesians 2.11-13; Romans 3.1-2, 6.14). However, Paul taught that when Gentiles or the Church come in contact with the Law, it has the same effect it had on Israel: it condemns (Romans 3.19).



YET some here know more than Paul? And the Lord who gave this to HIM.
 
You have no basis for claiming that it is the wrong law. For example, love is one of the fruits of the Spirit and everything in the Mosaic Law is either in regard to how to love God or our neighbor. Jesus spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example and the reason why he established the New Covenant was not in order to nullify anything that he spent his ministry teaching or so that we could continue to have the same lawlessness that caused the New Covenant to be needed in the first place, but rather the New Covenant still involves following the Mosaic Law (Jeremiah 31:33, Ezekiel 36:26-27). The New Covenant is still made with the same God with the same character traits and therefore the same eternal and cumulatively valid instructions for how to embody His character traits, which are the fruits of the Spirit.
This is an important distinction that needs to be addressed carefully — especially on a forum like this one where many are Gentile believers at different stages of their walk with God.

The Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 dealt with this exact question. Jewish believers were telling Gentile converts that they must follow the Mosaic Law to be saved — and the apostles and elders gathered specifically to settle this. Their conclusion was clear and deliberate:

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.(Acts 15:28-29)​

The council did not impose the Mosaic Law on Gentile believers. That was a settled decision made under the guidance of the Holy Spirit Himself. To go beyond that decision and insist Gentiles must follow the full Mosaic Law is to add a burden that even the apostles refused to place on them. Peter himself said:

Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? (Acts 15:10)

This does not mean the Mosaic Law has no value — it absolutely does as a witness to God's character and His dealings with Israel. But there is a critical difference between the Mosaic covenant given specifically to Israel and the Ten Commandments which predate Moses entirely and are written into the very conscience of every human being made in God's image.

The Ten Commandments are not Mosaic in origin — they are the eternal covenant. The Sabbath was established at creation (Genesis 2:2-3) long before Moses or Israel existed. The commandments against murder, theft, adultery, and idolatry are not Jewish laws — they are the expression of God's own character written on human hearts. Jeremiah confirmed this is precisely what the New Covenant would accomplish:

I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts. (Jeremiah 31:33)

Not abolish it. Write it deeper. That is the New Covenant — the same eternal standard of God's character now placed within us by the Holy Spirit rather than on external tablets of stone.

So the foundation for Gentile believers on this forum is this — start with what the Jerusalem Council established in Acts 15, and build from there with the Ten Commandments as the base of all God's moral law — written not as a burden to perform but as a natural expression of a heart that loves God and loves people. Jesus summed up the entire law in two commandments:

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.(Matthew 22:37-40)

Pushing the full Mosaic Law on Gentile believers — especially new or seeking ones on a forum like this — will not draw people closer to God. It will overwhelm them and push them away from the very foundation they need to build on. Give people the base first. The Ten Commandments from the heart, lived out in love — that is where every believer regardless of background must begin.
 
Vassal said that because he believes salvation is through the law. Christ obviously knew that He is the Savior and salvation through
Him alone, so He couldn't have been telling him to try to satisfy the law to become saved. Vassal and those of his ilk, find particular verses they like, isolate them out of context, and base their entire conclusion upon that.

It is one thing to know that God exists and a totally different thing to know Him, as in [having a relationship with Him].


Many here on CC know that there is a God, but lack the relationship with Him needed to understand that salvation is not based on what we do – but what He has done for us.. . .

Because it's in error.

Hebrews 3:5,6
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
But Christ as a Son over His own house; whose house are we, IF we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Now, there is a new house, the Body of Jesus Christ! Under the New Covenant that the Lord said would come forth, we see Jesus Christ as the High Priest. The old covenant with it’s laws and regulations have been taken away because thru Jesus Christ a new and better covenant has come in to place.

Hebrews 10:9
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
(God said He would make a New Covenant - see Jeremiah 31:31-34)

Hebrews 8:6
But now hath Jesus obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

And with the changing of the priesthood, God’s Word tells us there is also a change of the law.

Hebrews 7:12
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

9 or the 10 commandments were taught in the New Testament under the Law of Christ which is what Christians live under now. The New Testament does not call them the 10 commandments

The reason the sabbath commandment is not mention is because under the New Testament our rest is abiding in Christ which we are to engage on ongoing and not just one day a week

As I said one who tries to control the narrative at the expense of context to try and silence people by calling or suggesting they are false prophets. How predictable. We follow Christ He is our Sabbath.

Acts 15:24 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:
Rom 2:14
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

We have received circumcision of the heart Rom 2:29

"But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
1cor 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Gal 5:2-3 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.


what laws do you follow that are listed and I can tell you of the laws I follow that are that I did not know were listed.

yes many of the laws of Moses were for the israelites but some can still be followed but all of these flow from the ten commandments that themselves flow from Love of our Heavenly father for us.
 
According to Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to determine that someone is a false prophet is if they speak against obeying the Law of Moses, so if you think that Paul should be interpreted as doing that, then why do you not consider him to be a false prophet? If you do not consider Paul to be a false prophet, then why do you not object to you interpreting him as speaking against obeying the Law of Moses?

In the New Covenant we are under the Law of Christ and the Law of Moses is of no concern to Christians.

Law of Christ
The phrase "the law of Christ" appears only in Galatians 6:2, although it is implied by the wording of 1 Corinthians 9:21 as well. In both places, its precise meaning is difficult to fix. In Galatians, Paul argues vigorously that the law given at Sinai makes no claim on those who believe in Christ, whether Gentile or Jew ( 2:15-21 ; Galatians 3:10-14 Galatians 3:23-26 ; 4:4-5 ; 4:21-5:6).

He then appeals to the Galatians to engage in ethical behavior by walking in the Spirit ( 5:16 Galatians 16 ), being lead by the Spirit ( 5:18 ), and fulfilling "the law of Christ" (ho nomos tou Christou) through bearing one another's burdens ( 6:2 ). In 1 Corinthians 9 Paul demonstrates how Christians should, out of love for the weaker brother or sister, refrain from demanding their rights.

By way of illustration Paul says in verses 19-23 that he adopts certain Jewish customs when among Jews, although he is not under the Jewish law, and that he adopts some Gentile customs when among Gentiles, although he is not without the law of God but rather "in the law of Christ" (ennomos Christou).
It seems fairly clear from these two texts that Paul uses the phrase to mean something other than the law given to Israel at Sinai and considered by most Jews to be their special possession.

Help is found in the prophets. In Isaiah 42:1-4 we read that God's chosen servant will one day establish justice throughout the earth and that "the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law" (NASB). If we take this passage to refer to the Messiah, then we could paraphrase it by saying that the Christ, when he comes, will teach God's law to the Gentiles ("the coastlands"). Jeremiah 31:31-34 similarly predicts the coming of a time in which disobedient Israel will receive a new covenant, consisting of a law written on the heart and therefore obeyed (cf. Ezek 36:26-27 ).

Jesus' teaching, although standing in continuity with the law given at Sinai, nevertheless sovereignly fashions a new law. In some instances Jesus sharpens commandments ( Matt 5:17-48 ) and in others considers them obsolete ( Mark 7:17-19 ). On one occasion, having been asked to identify the greatest commandment, Jesus concurs with the Jewish wisdom of his time ( Mark 12:32-33 ) that the greatest commandments are to love God supremely and to love one's neighbor as oneself ( Mark 12:28-31 ). He breaks with tradition, however, by defining the term "neighbor" to mean even the despised Samaritan ( Luke 10:29-37 ).

Paul believed that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ marked the beginning point of God's new covenant ( 2 Cor 3:1-18 ; Gal 4:21-31 ; cf. Rom 8:2 ). Like Isaiah, he believed that this covenant included the Gentiles ( Gal 3:7-20 ), and like Jeremiah he believed that it offered Israel a remedy for the curse that the old Sinaitic covenant pronounced on Israel's disobedience ( Gal 3:10-13 ).

In light of this, Paul understood the teaching of Christ as a new law. If so, then the correspondence between the ethical teaching of Jesus and Paul on many points (e.g., 1 Cor 7:10-11 / Mark 10:2-9 ; 1 Cor 9:14 / Luke 10:7 ; Rom 14:1-23 / Mark 7:18-19 ) is a matter of Paul's intention rather than happy accident. Paul's own admonition to fulfill the law of Christ by bearing one another's burdens provides both a pithy restatement of Jesus' summary of the law and an indication that Jesus' teaching fulfills prophetic expectations.

Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
 
yes many of the laws of Moses were for the israelites but some can still be followed but all of these flow from the ten commandments that themselves flow from Love of our Heavenly father for us.

And yet for the New Covenant believers they are not the 10 Commandments

They are the Law of Christ which is a higher standard than following the 10 Commandments under the Law of Moses.
 
And because of what He has done for us that changes what we do.

If it doesn't then there is no personal relationship with the Lord.

Coming in to a relationship with the Lord changes what we do as well as our entire lives.

This is how we know when someone is either not a true believer or that are a bacslider
You are correct A relationship is ongoing.

Romans 7 man is not a born again believer.

He says he was sold under sin and could not cease from sin.

That's not applicable to Christians, at least not the ones that keep reading over in to Romans 8 which provides the answer Romans 7 man is looking for.

It's sad that many have been taught in error that as Christians they are just like Romans 7 man and they can never stop living in sin which of course is why we have so many sinners living in sin claiming to be Christians which is hypocrisy
 
again, you are suggesting we who disagree with your understanding of the law are saying not to obey the law. That is false. What I am saying is. Paul's teaches following the law doesn't save you.

YET some here know more than Paul? And the Lord who gave this to HIM.
I addressed it in this post:

 
And yet for the New Covenant believers they are not the 10 Commandments

They are the Law of Christ which is a higher standard than following the 10 Commandments under the Law of Moses.
please, let us go directly to Jesus Himself, the Highest possible authority on this — because He addressed this question more clearly and more powerfully than any theological framework built around a single phrase from any epistle.

Jesus was asked directly what the greatest commandment was. He did not introduce a new separate law replacing the Ten. He went straight to the heart of them:

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 22:37-40)

Notice what Jesus said — all the Law and the Prophets hang on these two. He did not say the Law is replaced. He said love is what the Law hangs upon. Love is the root. The Ten Commandments are the fruit of that love expressed in practical daily life. They are not in competition with love — they are love made visible and specific.

Jesus was also unmistakably clear about His relationship to the Law:

Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:17)

And He went even further:

Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19)

That is Jesus speaking — not Moses. Jesus Himself defending the commandments and warning against those who would teach others to break them.

And when asked what a person must do to have eternal life Jesus answered without hesitation:

If you want to enter into life keep the commandments. (Matthew 19:17)

Not the law of Christ as a replacement system. The commandments. Spoken by Christ Himself.

The so called higher standard Jesus introduced in the Sermon on the Mount was never a replacement of the Ten — it was a deeper penetration into their true meaning. Do not just avoid murder — deal with anger in your heart. Do not just avoid adultery — deal with lust in your heart. He was taking the commandments deeper into the inner life — exactly what Jeremiah prophesied the New Covenant would accomplish:

I will put My law in their minds and write it on their hearts. (Jeremiah 31:33)

The same law. Written deeper. That is the New Covenant. Not a different law — the same eternal standard of God's character now written within us by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus never called His teaching a replacement of the Ten. He called it fulfillment. And He closed the question of obedience with the simplest and most direct statement possible:

If you love Me keep My commandments. (John 14:15)

Not the law of Christ as a separate theological category. His commandments. The ones He upheld, taught, deepened, and lived perfectly before our eyes.
 
please, let us go directly to Jesus Himself

Do you think the writings of the Apostles were not Jesus speaking, talking about the entire New Testament?

Or, are only the words in red legit and all others can be ignored or are somehow less truthful not counting and being the Word of God?

Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

According to Jesus, the law and the prophets stopped being taught by the Lord starting with the ministry of John the Baptist. Luke 16:16 is in RED, so that's Jesus speaking.

Jesus goes on to say all teaching starting with John the Baptist going forward is the kingdom of God is preached, aka Gospel of the Kingdom.

Everything Jesus taught in the Gospels is under the Gospel of the Kingdom and as mentioned earlier He reiterated some things from the old covenant like the moral law of God.

But no where in the New Covenant are we told to follow the Ten Commandments. No, we are told to follow the Law of Christ aka the Doctrine of Christ.

To focus on the old covenant after Jesus came to take that away and establish the New Covenant (Hebrews 10:9) is teaching in error. Some may say this is semantics but it's important that we teach the New Covenant not the old.

That's the Lord speaking in Hebrews 10:9

2 John 1:9
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

1 Corinthians 9:21
To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

Galatians 6:2
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

James 2:12
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Hebrews 6:1
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Acts 2:42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

1 Timothy 6:3-5
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
