Romans 2:
14 For whenever they of the nations that have no law, by nature may be doing that which the law demands, these, having no law, are a law to themselves, [functioning conscience].
15 who are displaying the action of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying together and their reckonings between one another, accusing or defending them,
16 in the day when God will be judging the hidden things of humanity, according to my evangel, through Jesus Christ." [Hours spent studying letters will not be a covering at The Judgment].
17 Lo! you are being denominated a Jew, and are resting on law,
and are boasting in God, [not Israel].
18 and know the will, and are testing what things are of consequence, being instructed out of the law. [as opposed to the Spirit]
19 Besides, you have confidence in yourself to be a guide of the blind, a light of those in darkness,
[Those who have become experts show a marked self-confidence, not a boldness].
20 a discipliner of the imprudent, a teacher of minors, having the form of knowledge and the truth in the law.
[a knowledge about Truth is not the Spirit of Truth, it is the spirit of wanting to be right. Reliance on knowledge of Torah is not reliance on The Counselor].
21 You, then, who are teaching another, you are not teaching yourself! who are heralding not to be stealing, you are stealing!
[teaching Law instead of liberty of conscience is stealing].
22 who are saying not to be committing adultery, you are committing adultery! who are abominating idols, you are despoiling the sanctuary!"
Romans 7:4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
[Commitment to Torah study instead of Faithfulness to the Spirit is adultery].
23 who are boasting in a law, through the transgression of the law you are dishonoring God!
24 For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the nations,
according as it is written.
25 For circumcision, indeed, is benefiting if you should be putting law into practice,
yet if you should be a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision."
How is arguing about the Law for hours a day on a forum putting law into practice?
Free your slaves!
26 If the Uncircumcision, then, should be maintaining the just requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
[work of conscience by the Holy Spirit= True circumcision].
27 And the Uncircumcision who, by nature, are discharging the law's demands, shall be judging you, who through letter and circumcision, are a transgressor of law.
Seriously?
28 For not that which is apparent is the Jew, nor yet that which is apparent in flesh is circumcision;
29 but that which is hidden is the Jew, and circumcision is of the heart,
in spirit, not in letter, whose applause is not of men, but of God.

and consulted against thy hidden ones.
