Those who love the Law don't cheapen the Law, like you do, by lowering its standard to something you think you can manage.

You, maco, don't love God's Law. The reason you don't understand the way of God’s grace is because you have such a low view of the law. That low view causes you think its standard is attainable by you....a thought made possible by you lowering the bar low enough for you to jump over it. It is an idea straight out of the pit.....it is the idea that God will accept anything less than the perfect righteousness of Jesus.

I'm on God's side and do not adhere to the laws of the old covenant.

Heb. 8
13 [i]When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is [j]ready to disappear.

Gal. 3

19 Why the Law then? It was added [ac]because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the [ad]agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. 20 Now a mediator is not [ae]for one party only; whereas God is only one. 21 Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness [af]would indeed have been [ag]based on law. 22 But the Scripture has shut up [ah]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a [ai]tutor. 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is [aj]neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you [ak]belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s [al]descendants, heirs according to promise.


Do you belong to Christ, Maco? Or do you still need a tutor?

Neither of your passage prove the old covenant laws are applicable under the new covenant.

If I was to go precept by precept through the old covenant law, would I find you perfect in each?

I wasn't. My apologies. The quote function doesn't seem to work on my phone browser for longer posts.

Those who say peace and safety because the Law is done away with will not escape.

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

The standard has been set and you know full well sin is sin. We either identify it and turn away to the best of our ability or suffer the effects of sin.

Romans 2:8-9 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Do not know much but Jesus seems to say 1 can escape the law with -

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Define "on God's side" for us here.
