Ex 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that "the LORD doth put a difference between the Nations and Israel".
(MY NOTE: The LORD put a difference between all other 69 (Gen 10) Nations & Israel/His chosen people) Gentiles were viewed as unclean dogs, bastards, living outside of covenant seals)
Ex 19:
3 God, spoke to Moses saying, Thus shalt thou "say to the house of Jacob" "and tell the children of Israel";
(NOTE: God tells Moses, say to: the house of Jacob/children of Israel! Gentiles (69 other nations) had/have NO PART in this law covenant)
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
(MY NOTE: When Moses gives the law to: the house of Jacob/children of Israel: They ALL AGREED, to the words the Lord had spoken. Under the new covenant one must confess Jesus as Lord & believe/place their Faith/agree in His righteous/obedient sin atoning work)
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
(MY NOTE: Gentiles referred to as the Uncircumcision (vs 11) were without God, having no covenant promises & a hopeless future)
Rom 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
(MY NOTE: Gentiles aren't now & were never under the Mosaic law covenant)
Council at Jerusalem
Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
(MY NOTE: The letters written & sent by Christ chosen apostles. Proclaim that gentiles, are not, nor were they ever, required to be circumcised or keep Mosaic law. Quoting: WE gave NO such commandment!)
Rom 4:15 (A) the law worketh wrath.
(1) Israel only! Agrees (Ex 19:8) & enters into the Mosaic law covenant on Mt Sinai.
(2) Eph 2:12, Rom 2:14 & Acts 15:24 ALL state gentiles were never under the Mosaic law covenant.
Neither has any NT believer ever been under the Covenant made at Sinai. Written to believers: Rom 6:14 Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Paul's Holy Spirit inspired writing also disagree with a, law is love, position:
He cites the law written & engraved in stones. As the ministration of death (vs 7) & the ministration of condemnation (vs 9)
2 Cor 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.
(MY NOTE: Written to believers (2 Cor 1:1) The letter/law/administers death. But, the NT Holy Spirit's administration is life giving).
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, 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:
(MY NOTE: The apostle calls the 10 commandments the ministration of death)
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.
(MY NOTE: The apostle calls the 10 commandments the ministration of condemnation)
Gal 3:19 It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made
(MY NOTE: Because of sin the law was added & in effect, UNTIL, Christ/the promised seed should come)
These verses don't claim there isn't a sovereign creator God, or no right & wrong actions. Adam wasn't under Mosaic covenant laws, yet, he knowingly transgressed/sinned against God's law.
Fundamentally, Mosaic law is just, BUT, it can't justify anyone. The law is holy, BUT, can't make anyone holy. The law is righteous, BUT, can't make anyone righteous.
If the law can't make us holy, righteous or justified, condemns without mercy unto death, was to be preached UNTIL Christ's arrival.
Why, are so many people tenaciously driven. To place today's NT believers under it's yoke of condemnation?
Rom 8:1 (A) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.
Matt 26:28 (AMP) For this is My blood of the new covenant, which ratifies the agreement and is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Matt 26:28 (KJV) For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Law keeping never provided sin remission/pardon/forgiveness, water baptism never provided sin remission/pardon, repentance never provided sin remission/forgiveness, obedience never provided sin forgiveness, sabbath observance never provided sin pardon/forgiveness, tithing doesn't provide sin remission/pardon/forgiveness etc.
Only faith in Jesus sin atoning sacrifice & resurrection can remove the sin stain from one's soul.
1 Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(NOTE: Anyone that believes they can conquer their own sin nature, without Gods help is mistaken)
Faith in Christ's righteous/obedient sin redemptive work, LEADS, to obedience & repentance
Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches "of his goodness" and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that "the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance"?
(MY NOTE: It's thru the GOODNESS of GOD not thru OUR OWN great work of sin repentance, obedience or self-control. That we REPENT/change our thinking/course. It's salvations seal of indwelling Holy Spirit that leads us to REPENT/change our thinking outlook & direction > TOWARDS God & faith in Christ. Also see Acts 20:21).
Rom 16:26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, ""so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience"" ""that comes from faith""
(NOTE: Brought to obedience/repentance/godly living, thru Faith)
Rom 1:5 "Through him we received grace" & apostleship "to call all the Gentiles to the obedience" "that comes from faith" for his name’s sake.
(NOTE: Called to FAITH, which leads to obedience & repentance)
Faith & Faith alone is the requirement for salvation. Repentance/obedience & good works will be the result of Faith.
BTW: God see's our self righteous law keeping works as filthy rags (Isa 64:6).
Salvation isn't about how great, wonderful & perfect we may think we are.
Its about how great, wonderful, graceful, loving, righteous, obedient, forgiving & sinless perfect Christ was/is! As HE IS, so are we in this world! (1 Jn 4;17)
All praise, glory & honor belong to our Great God & Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen
