It's very interesting to me they post 2 Timothy 3:16 and disregard Galatians as inspired by God and invalid as Scripture."however" no one is ever 100% correct, according to LGW. You have to correct everyone. Well, maybe I can, from scripture, correct both of you on who the schoolmaster law was for. (By the way LGW translates "God's law as the 10 commandments.) The King James version of Gal 3:1-6
3 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
The Galatians never had the "schoolmaster law". They didn't receive the Spirit because they had the Schoolmaster law. They received it by hearing about faith just as Abraham never had the schoolmaster law, he too received the Spirit by faith. That established let us look further down in the chapter where Paul talks about the schoolmaster law.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
In the course of Paul's letter he is addressing those that were under the law including himself, the we in the letter. Since the Galatians never had the law the we could not have meant them. The Schoolmaster law was the Jews way of bringing only the Jews to their knees before Christ. As seen in the previous verses the Galatians received Jesus by hearing the good news by faith just as did Abraham. Jesus commands us to go into the World and spread the good news just as Paul and Barnabas did for the Galatians. If you will read in Gal 2:15 “You(Peter) and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles. 16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”
Yes Gentiles were sinners (without the Sinai law) even though not like the Jews who were under the Sinai law. Both become right with God through faith in Jesus. Salvation has nothing to do with any law. The law was not given to Israel for salvation. It was given as a way of life for Israel and Israel.
My question for LGW is how did keeping Sabbath become a salvational commandment?
2Cor3:7-11 and as everyone know there is no command to "keep" Sunday. That is a strawman argument and you should know it by now.
Oh yes we have, you are programed not to believe God's Word on the subject.
