Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Ro 3:19 ¶ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

This is what Paul means when he said we establish the law. For its purpose to make all men guilty and to reject any attempts to justifiy themselves by any other method other than faith.

Ga 3:21 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.

Yes Its called being Born-again:-)

2Co 3:6 ¶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, (TEN COMMANDMENTS) was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.:yes
 
Ro 3:19 ¶ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.:naughty

So, by not under the Law, are you saying there is no obligation to obey? That sin is NOT the transgression of the Law? That choosing your own right and wrong is perfectly acceptable?
you seem to think that the law keeps a man from sin? It does not, it is the grace of God that overcomes the sinful passions of man. No I am not under law, but my obedience is by faith, in the spirit and not by the letter.

Ro 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Ro 8:3 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.
 
'The obedience of faith' is not the same as being under the law.

Romans is a very thorough and wholesome exposition of justification for the New Testament believer.
 
'The obedience of faith' is not the same as being under the law.

Romans is a very thorough and wholesome exposition of justification for the New Testament believer.
Good call farouk, the obedience of faith is not obedience of the letter, for as Abraham, we obey from the heart that which we believe. The letter requires that the flesh be able to perform righteousness, it cannot. We obey from the heart that which God has written by His Spirit. The flesh is set aside and put to death by the spirit. As Paul wrote we are the circumcision who worship God in spirit and have no confidence in the flesh.

It does not surprise me that you don't get the point, you pick the scripture you want out of context as a proof text and do not weigh all the evidence on a subject to come to a conclusion. We are not born until the resurrection. We are begotten with the Holy Spirit now, and born into the family of God at the resurrection just as Eph 1:13-14 says.

I think the horse is dead here.
 
You keep misapplying Gal 3:24-25. The Law referred to there is the Law of sacrifices. It doesn't take a really deep study of Heb 10 to see that the law concerning sacrifices was a bloody reminder that sin = death...


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.
15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19Wherefore 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.

this is talking about blood sacrifices??

Obviously not.....Galatians is about we are saved by grace/faith and not the Law of Moses.

Maybe someone should do a thread on Galatians.

You just dont like what it says, because it in plain words says what it means and means what it says;

1Jo 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.:amen

Ro 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. GLORY!
 
Ro 3:19 ¶ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.:naughty

So, by not under the Law, are you saying there is no obligation to obey? That sin is NOT the transgression of the Law? That choosing your own right and wrong is perfectly acceptable?
you seem to think that the law keeps a man from sin? It does not, it is the grace of God that overcomes the sinful passions of man. No I am not under law, but my obedience is by faith, in the spirit and not by the letter.

You keep attributing your own thoughts to my posts. I have NEVER said the Law justifies, saves, removes sin or any such thing. What I have said is exactly consistent with what Paul says...

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

The Law tells us what sin is, it defines right and wrong...

Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Grace is the unearned and undeserved forgiveness for transgressing the Law...

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Grace is the payment for what we have earned. Christ's death pays in full our debt and He gives us forgiveness that we may have life.

Ro 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Ro 8:3 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.


Yes, through God's Spirit we are able to obey the Law. You seem to have a terrible reading problem, every time you see the word S-I-N, you read it LAW.

Being under the Law means one is subject to the Law. One is subject to the penalty the Law exacts for breaking it. Grace means the penalty for breaking the Law has been paid in full by Christ and we are no longer subject to the penalty.

Grace does not mean that since Christ died in our stead and we freed from the penalty of the Law that there is no more Law and that we are now under anarchy.

What was added?

Deu 5:22 These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

It is a simple and interesting study to find the Ten Commandments either stated or practiced from Gen 1:1 to Ex 19:25. They were in full force prior to Mt. Sinai. What was added at the time of Moses...

Jer 7:22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Jer 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Sacrifices were added as a reminder for sin and a shadow of what was coming just as Hebrews says...

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Which of the Ten Commandments tells us to sacrifice? NONE! The Law that was added in Exodus and Leviticus was the Law of Sacrifices and it had no bearing on the promises made to Abraham concerning God's faithfulness to deliver on them.

Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

A remembrance of what? Verse 4 is a parenthetical thought here, so on to verse 5...

Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

It refers to the coming of Christ to be the ultimate sacrifice...

Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

The death of Christ was not a stop-gap measure that had to be thought up on the spot. God planned it before the first molecule of the physical creation was made. God doesn't plan like we do, He has no contingencies, everything goes exactly as He plans and every detail is planned for. Anyhoo...

Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 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.

Quite often verse 9 is pulled out of context and said to be applied to the Covenants. Although the New Covenant does replace the Old, the subject matter here is not the Covenants...

Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

The real subject it is referring to is the Priesthood. The Levitical (Aaronic) Priesthood was replaced by the Melchisedec Priesthood in the person of Jesus Christ.

Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Heb 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Heb 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Heb 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

Yes, Hebrews 10 is talking about sacrifices as I have pointed out in several threads.

Why do you separate the 10 from the other Torah laws?

Were just the 10 given for a schoolmaster or all Torah?
 
Yes, through God's Spirit we are able to obey the Law.


Again you seem to fail to see the difference between the letter and the Spirit?
Ro 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

The law is spiritual and it cannot be fulfilled by the written code, but is fulfilled by the Spirit of God in love.

Ro 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
 
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

How about explaining this spiritual law to me? What is it? What is it composed of? Can you enumerate it for me?
