The law of the Spirit is not the law mediated by Moses.
Moses and many a prophet spoke Gods Own Words. I do not relegate those words to the man in whom they came.
It comes from your contention that the law retains jurisdiction, and you never responded to the citation of Ephesians 2:11-16 or Galatians 3:10-14.
The Law retains jurisdication in the revealing, arousing and condemnation of THE LAWLESS for whom it was intended to be against. In that same LAW is the Spirit of LOVE. The LAW is simultaneously FOR LOVE and AGAINST lawlessness.
This is meaningless drivel that doesn't address anything in particular, and you haven't responded to your concession (by ignoring the point over and over) that you're going to comply with the law by breaking it.
I do not say that the power of sin or evil present IN ANY including MYSELF is LEGAL or LAW ABIDING, nor CAN it be. Love however DOES comply with EVERY jot and tittle of THE LAW as stipulated in Romans 13:8-10.
The power of SIN and EVIL PRESENT cannot do that OR be LAWful in any way, shape or form. IF you insist that the LAW is and only consists of EXTERNAL FLESHLY ORDINANCE MATTERS that would be false presentation of LAW:
Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and
have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
For the record I would not have any problem with ANYONE following the O.T. Laws as they see fit with the realization of the fact that the power of sin and evil present are not LAWFUL in them while so following. Paul exhibited this exact fact many times by participation in various legal matters, rituals etc etc.
When you refuse to either acknowledge or deny an observation that is made, the default is acceptance that you have no contention to the observation that was made.
My observations have been made. No man is justified under the LAW because of what they carry in their flesh/mind, that being the power of SIN and EVIL PRESENT. Those things REMAIN condemned under LAW, condemned apart from LAW, condemned under GRACE, condemned apart from GRACE.
Now the burden resides with you to show how anyone has advocated sin. That has not been the case with my posts.
Never said you did that I recall. I certainly might have said that MANY have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that SATAN enters where THE WORD is sown (in man) and THAT ENTITY is and remains TOTALLY LAWLESS and utterly corrupt. I have no issues understanding this fact in the light of the disclosures of scripture.
The entry of SATAN is a scriptural fact and that fact goes a long way in helping understand these matters of LAW and of LOVE or the lack thereof AND inability OF man to 'be legal' regardless WHEN that entity is PRESENT with them.
enjoy!
