You're already getting off on the wrong foot. Your reference no such thing as you claim. If it did Luke 16:16 would be a lie. No small wonder why the unchurched say the religious people are foolish.Why should any read further when your opener is clearly wrong?
Nope God's WORD is true it is your interpretation of Luke 16:16 that is the problem brother. JESUS was speaking in the present tense of the time of JOHN the BAPTIST stating that the Law and the prophets were until John. He is not saying God's LAW is abolished as JESUS says in
v17-18 that you leave out...
LUKE 16:17-18 [17], And
it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail. [18],
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband
commits adultery.
links to what JESUS says here..
MATTHEW 5:17-28
[17],
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
[18], For truly I say to you,
Till heaven and earth pass, one stroke or one pronunciation mark shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[19],
Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
[20], For I say to you, That
except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[21], You have heard that it was said of them of old time,
You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
[22], But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
[23], Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has ought against you;
[24], Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
[25], Agree with your adversary quickly, whiles you are in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
[26], Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out there, till you have paid the uttermost farthing.
[27], You have heard that it was said by them of old time,
You shall not commit adultery:
[28], But I say to you,
That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Yep JESUS is applying God's LAW from the inside out.
Can you see your error here brother?
Why didn't you include the full story also recorded in Mat 19? Is it so you can defend your false idea salvation requires keeping the law? Verse 22 says - And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. Doesn't this reveal the fact he didn't keep the law as claimed. Doesn't it also reveal no one does in accordance with Psalms 14:3? Why do you think you can do what the Scripture says you don't and can't?
MARK 10:17-21. was quoted as a reference scripture to show what JESUS taught in reference to the question that was asked of him which was "What good thing shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? Jesus answer was keeping the Commandments. The point the was being made was the response to the question being asked of JESUS. The question was answered by JESUS saying that in order to inherit enternal life you must keep God's Commandments and that is why the scripture was quoted in support of the OP which was that JESUS supported the keeping of God's Commandments. Now wheather the rich young ruler kept them or not is a different subject. The outcome however remains the same to JESUS answering his question. Which ever way you want to say it JESUS says you cannot have eternal life without keeping God's Commandments brother because they wages of sin is death in all those who reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.
Also brother this is only sent in love but why do you make claims that no one has ever said to you? Where have I ever once stated we get our salvation from keeping God's LAW? If I have never said such things why do you make false claims pretending I have said this or think this way? This is simply being dishonest and sad for you especially when I have already stated to you many times now that we are only saved by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves, it is a gift of God and not of Works lest any man should boast *EPHESIANS 2:8. I will leave that between you and God. I have already forgiven you.
Oh where does your reference say that?
MATTHEW 22:40 ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS (Love to God and man) HANG ALL THE LAW and the prophets. Happy to share the scriptures showing that LOVE is the very expression of OBEDIENCE to God's LAW through faith. Just let me know?
Nothing but an effort to condemn here. We're not obligated to the law given to Israel. We have the New Covenant which is unlike the covenant given on stone. Why should I continue with your deception and foolishness?
If you feel condemned brother through the scriptures provided to you this was not my intent as I do not judge you. If you feel the Spirit speaking to you praise God as God is guiding you. The scripture quoted here is God's WORD not mine in MATTHEW 15:3-9. Only God's WORD is true and we should believe and follow it over the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God.
Hope this helps
