Thank you.
Like I said, in my experience, when I tell a person a verse or passage, they do not tend to believe that verse or passage sometimes. Take for example Matthew 5:28-30. Most will say that these words of Jesus do not apply to the life of the believer today. They misinterpret Paul to undo the words of Jesus. But Paul said in 1 Timothy 6:3-4 that if any man does not agree with the words of Jesus Christ and the doctrine according to godliness, he is proud and he knows nothing. Funny, when I tell most Christians about these kinds of passages together, it is like they are in a fog and they don't know what to say to make sense out of them.
Romans 6:14 that says “you are not under the law” is in reference to the 613 Laws of Moses.
Any time Paul referred to the word “law” generically, it was in reference to the 613 Laws of Moses.
Why? If we do the study on every time Paul mentions the word “law” generically, we see in the context a reference to the Old Law, and Paul does not reference the unique laws or commands of Jesus, and His followers; John 1:17 says that the Law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. But most Christians today take the word “law” out of context when they read Paul and they make it refer to the laws or commands that come from Jesus and His followers, too. They think that Paul is referring to all forms of Law when this is not the case. 1 John 3:23 says that to believe in Jesus is a commandment (a.k.a. law). Jesus even gave us new commandments. Surely Paul was not speaking against the words of Jesus in what He commanded of us. But that is what many today are saying. They are saying we can sin and still be saved, and we cannot be condemned by any Law of any kind. This is wrong, and it is not what the Bible teaches.
Thank you.

You can't keep the Law of Moses but you can keep the Law of Christ?
What a sad commentary! You are basing your eternal destiny on being able to keep the commandments of Christ when you know that is impossible. What's worse than this is that you are teaching others to do the same.
If you place your faith in any Laws there is no mercy, Law condemns if you can't keep every single one of them.
Faith alone in Jesus Christ is the only way for the sinner to find mercy in the day of Judgement. That's what we are, sinners needing mercy.
