I brought no one into judgment. I stated plain facts found in the Scripture.Do not bring your servant into judgement, for NO ONE living I righteous before you
Psalms143:2
No because I am a new man (creature) in Jesus Christ with a new nature. I do not practice sin. When I sin the Holy Spirit convicts me. The law has nothing to do with me as a Christian.Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law, rather THROUGH the law we become conscious of sin( present tense)
Rom3:20
Are you ever conscious of sin?
No I do not believe I ever became conscious of sin because of the law. I learned about coveting when my parents did not attend church upon taking something that was not mine and being punished for it.We are not under the law( of righteousness. And yes, I know why the Holy Spirit was given.
But the fact remains.
If you commit any specific sin and you are conscious you sin because of That specific sin that law, MUST be placed within you.
For it is a spiritual cast iron fact.
THROUGH the law you become conscious of sin.
So I repeat. If you coveted, would you be conscious you committed sin because you coveted, or would you only be conscious you sinned because you failed to love as you should?
We all know the answer to That question don't we. No more needs to be said
It is all the law or none of the law according to my Bible.And BTW I agree with your scriptures from Galatians or anywhere else. The christian is not under law, but That does not mean all the law got abolished
Not according to Jesus.I think you made a mistake. The greatest command is found in the TC. It is the first.
Only those who don't understand that the new covenant started when Christ died. Before that the old covenant was still in effect.
It is all the law or none of the law according to my Bible.

I obviously wouldn't claim to know as much as you knowYou do not understand the purposes of the law.

Really, so according to Jesus the first of the TC is not the greatest commandment?Not according to Jesus.

Just to make it clear, and I don't know if that is possible, here is what I wrote about the 10cs: As I have said over and over there is not even the command in the 10Cs to love period. The greatest command is not found in the 10 commandments. They were temporary commands given only to Israel for a purpose we are not fully knowledgeable of knowing. Maybe that was all they could handle at the time.So stuart, I write a nice post explaining my position really trying to tell you where I stand and your answer to me is the above response? OY!
Well I'm leaving this thread now, I see no point in continuing.Just to make it clear, and I don't know if that is possible, here is what I wrote about the 10cs: As I have said over and over there is not even the command in the 10Cs to love period.

I was not comparing the greatest commandment in the 10. If you would only take the time to study what we have posted you wouldn't end up with egg on your face. As it is I take your posts with a grain of salt.
I am sure Abraham knew not to take God's name in vain 490 years before the law was given at Sinai. Morality has and will be forever. We do not need the now defunct 10 commandments to tell us what sin is. If that were so then we would not know that love is the greatest commandment because it was not mentioned in the 10 so we would be treating our fellow man with disgust and all the other adjectives that describe sin except for the 5 that are mentioned. 2Cor 3:7-11 Ellen had her head in the sand and yet you parrot her. What can I say?So then you are in favor of taking God's name in vain or ... against it... which?
Well, I guess you got the last word, but do you know you have just refuted Jesus?Well I'm leaving this thread now, I see no point in continuing.
But the greatest commandment is found In the TC. It is the first
