So, you are saying that the Holy Spirit leads us back to the law?
No, I didn't even come close to saying that. In fact, I made it quite clear that I wasn't saying that. And, once again, you are committing the fallacy of equivocation. When are you going to understand this, that is an error in reasoning and so should be discarded?
You said, "But the Holy Spirit leads us by the rules and commands for believers that he inspired". What you are saying is that the Holy Spirit leads us to rules and commandments that he inspired. 100% contrary to the teachings of Paul.
How so, exactly?
The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to magnify the work and the person of Jesus Christ, John 16:13-14.
That is one of many purposes. Among the many other purposes is also that he reveals things to us and gives us wisdom to understand God and the things of God, which naturally includes the Bible:
Again, you are committing the fallacy of equivocation and so creating a false dichotomy. You keep talking about the law of Moses, but that is not what the discussion is about. It's about "the law of the Spirit of life" that has set us "free in Christ Jesus;" it's about the rules and commands that Paul, Peter, John, and other NT writers give believers for proper Christian living.
If you need laws, rules and religion it is because you don't have the Holy Spirit. Pharisees need laws, rules and religion, not Christians. Within the Spirit there is the law, but it is not the same as the written Mosiac law. The Holy Spirit urges us and prompts us to do what is right. The Mosiac law demands perfect obedience or death. There is no condemnation for those that are led by the Spirit, Romans 8:1.
Where does the Bible say this?
And this is mostly done how? Is it not through leading us by what the Bible says?
Again, no one is arguing to the Mosaic law, so why do you keep bringing it up?
Paul wrote, "Knowing this, that the law is not made for the righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and the profane, for murders of fathers and murders of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for homosexuals, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be anything else contrary to sound doctrine" 1 Timothy 1:9-10.
Yet again, no one is arguing to the Mosaic law, so why do you keep bringing it up?
The Bible is a book of law and religion. The purpose of the law is to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith, Galatians 3:24.
Well, since you repeatedly refuse to answer questions and address counterarguments, following the same MO as the previous discussion we had, there is no point in continuing. It seems as though you aren't interested in truth, which makes all discussion pointless.
If you had the truth I might listen to you.
The whole point is that you first need to show that what I have said isn't true, but you haven't done that. You haven't even tried. You just evade and avoid answering questions and counterarguments, and instead just keep repeating fallacious arguments and arguments that have been shown to be problematic. That is a sign of someone not interested in the truth of a matter.
Why don't you post an article so that we can see what you believe?
