So when Soyeong says the same thing I have been saying all along you agree with him? Looks personal to me.Indeed! Obedience in the Holy Spirit leads to righteousness leading to holiness Ro 6:16, 19).
But you believe Gentiles can't keep the law of God. The Holy Spirit is never in conflict with the Bible.God enables all believers, Gentile and Jew, to walk in the obedience of the Holy Spirit.
God enables all believers, Gentile and Jew, to walk in the obedience of the Holy Spirit.
Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Lev 20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
Lev 20:8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
Jesus in Matt 23:23, was referring to God's law in which the Mosaic law & Faith are pointed to. (Law of Righteousness) Romans 3:21.In Matthew 23:23, Jesus said that faith is one of the weightier matters of the Mosaic Law, so the Mosaic Law is the law of faith.
Faith is expressed as being a doer of the law and as being justified, but being a doer of the law does not result in being justified. So having faith, being a doer of the law, and being justified are all linked such that if one of those three is true of someone, then the others are also true, and if one of those three is not true of someone, then the others are also not true. In other words all of those who have faith are also doers of the law and are being justified, all of those who are doers of the law also have faith and are being justified, and all those who are being justified also have faith and are doers of the law. This is how Paul can say both that only doers of the law will be justified (Romans 2:13), which is because only doers of the law have faith, while also denying that we can earn our justification as the result of being a doer of the law (Romans 4:1-5). Likewise, this is how Paul can that we are justified by faith without being the result of being a doer of the law while also saying that the same faith by which we are justified is also expressed by being a doer of the law, so being justified by faith does not abolish our need to be a doer of the law (Romans 3:27-31).
In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God commanded without departing from it, so Mosaic Law was commanded by God and is thus God's law. Furthermore, the Law of Moses is referred to as the Law of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23. The phrase "Law and the Prophets" used in Romans 3:21 also refers to the Mosaic Law.Jesus in Matt 23:23, was referring to God's law in which the Mosaic law & Faith are pointed to. (Law of Righteousness) Romans 3:21.
In Acts 5:32, the Spirit is given to those who obey God, so obedience to what God has instructed is part of the way to receive the Spirit, however, Galatians 3:1-2 denies that works of the law are part of the way to receive the Spirit, therefore the phrase "works of the law" does not refer to obedience to what God has instructed. In Romans 3:27-31, Paul contrasted a law of works with a law of faith, so works of the law are of works, while he said that our faith upholds God's law, so it is of faith, and a law that our faith upholds can't be referring to the same thing as the works of the law that are not of faith Galatians 3:10-12. Moreover, in Galatians 3:10-12, Paul associated a quote from Habakkuk 2:4 saying that the righteous shall live by faith with a quote from Leviticus 18:5 that the one who obeys the Mosaic Law will live by it, so the righteous living by faith are the ones who are living in obedience to the Mosaic Law. Likewise, in Isaiah 51:7, the righteous are those on whose heart is the Mosaic Law, so the righteous living by faith does not refer to a manner of living that is not in obedience to it. God is trustworthy, therefore what He has instructed is also trustworthy (Psalms 19:7), so the way to have faith in God is by having faith in what He has instructed, to deny that what God has instructed is of faith is to deny the faithfulness of God, and it is contradictory to think that we should have faith in God, but not in what He has instructed.The Mosaic law is NOT based on Faith..Galatians 3:12, so, The Mosaic law is the Law based on "works" as in Romans 3: 27.
Jesus is our righteousness in that his atonement and sacrifice removed our sin, unrighteousness.
There is:
1) forensic righteousness - imputed in God's declaration of "not guilty," sentence of acquittal, finding of right standing with the Court; i.e., penalty paid, time served, nothing owing to the Court,
2) actual righteousness - through obedience in the Holy Spirit which leads to righteousness leading to holinesss (Ro 6:16, 19), and
3) Jesus our righteousness - his atoning sacrifice removing our sin, unrighteousness.
Was anyone able to keep the law of God in the OT?But you believe Gentiles can't keep the law of God. The Holy Spirit is never in conflict with the Bible.
Agreed, keeping in mind it is used in three different ways.It seems prudent to trust the Scriptures definition of Righteousness, more than the many who come in Christ's Name.
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. Rom 8:29-30Agreed, keeping in mind it is used in three different ways.

Has Christ been divided? Of course not. 1 Cor 1:13Rom. 8: 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Not Calvins or the Popes or Russel, etc.)
God, who knows the hearts, confirmed that He accepted them, by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us. Acts 15:8In my understanding God knows the end from the beginning. So therefore, HE would know in advance who "repented" and turned to HIM, from those who only served Him with their lips.
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God; 2 Cor 1:21The deceiver would have us believe that God picks winners and losers according to some secret Holy Lottery, where men don't have a choice or say in who God chooses to Justify, ...
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 1 John 2:20That's why I said to the brethren, "It seems prudent to trust the Scriptures definition of Righteousness, more than the many who come in Christ's Name" that the Jesus of the Bible warned about.
You have to get the horse before the Cart. Because of Jesus we are righteous and sanctified. This is what redemption means. The Law does not redeem us, but the law does show us what it means to be redeemed or saved.Yes. Jesus is our sanctification. Our all-in-one source for righteousness.
In Hebrew every letter has a symbolic meaning. Context helps but we need to go way beyond that if we want to properly understand the Word of God. A is the first letter and it represents the Ox or the lead animal in a herd.Grammar, context and the context of NT teaching show the meaning.
Just where did I say the law redeems us? I've never said something that moronic. I'm not that dumb.You have to get the horse before the Cart. Because of Jesus we are righteous and sanctified. This is what redemption means. The Law does not redeem us, but the law does show us what it means to be redeemed or saved.
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:Just where did I say the law redeems us?
How am I getting the cart before the horse?1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
You are correct the law does not redeem us.
I said that those who are redeemed follow the law.
You keep getting the cart before the horse.
