The law was delivered to the nation of Israel. It was "NEVER" placed upon the gentiles.
You apparently didn't read the scripture I cited. It is clearly meant to shut up 'every' mouth and make 'all the world' guilty of sin before God, delivery notwithstanding.
I would "challenge" you to find Scripture that states, The law was delivered to the gentiles...
Could provide several. But that would depend on your depth of understanding 'the law.'
You understand for example that the law says to love your neighbors as yourself. Jesus cited this law many times. So did Paul and specifically to GENTILES. So, you desire to throw away the entire fulcrum of this LAW
because you are not a Jew?
LOL.
Problem with the Law is that most believers buy their understandings from somebody else without putting much of their own time into it other than being a theological parrot for some segmentist.
The law was made for "law breakers." The gentiles (us) are under "Grace" and were never under the law...From Adam on,sin was in the world and we are all (Jew and Gentile) guilty of sin.
You again will admit to being a sinner, which means A LAWLESS LAWBREAKER but don't want the measuring stick that proves it? LOL
Adam was 'under the Law' as well. That Law was DO NOT EAT. What happened to Adam under that law was not one whit different than what happens to us, just as Paul taught us here, and fwiw we do not throw out or throw away that which is holy, righteous and good. You might also notice that 'we' also were 'in the flesh' prior to being led of the Spirit.
Romans 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.
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.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And
the commandment, which
was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For
sin, taking occasion by the commandment,
deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment
holy, and just, and good.
The Law is the exact instrument of our SLAYING in the flesh that we may LIVE unto Christ!
The Law is also Gods Word. We RESPECT Gods Words. We don't THROW THEM AWAY.
In the Prophet(s) who delivered the Law, primarily Moses,
it was in fact CHRIST speaking THROUGH THEM!
However, the law was delivered to the "Chosen" house of Israel only, not the gentiles...We "the gentiles" were grafted in later, but we (the gentiles) were and are under Grace not law...
The Law in the form of a good conscience was also put into the hearts of everyone.
Seriously dude, you need to brush up.
Romans 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:
15
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness,
You see, you don't need to be 'under the delivered Law to the Jews' when you are in compliance with same. If you don't MURDER you are in fact OBEYING the LAW.
Granted, the Law for Jews is much more interesting and complex, but again, ALL of that Law is in fact written in the hearts of mankind everywhere when they DO GOOD AND RIGHT.
And when they don't THEY ARE LAWBREAKERS!
enjoy!
