Interesting.We have a supernatural God, Divine and all knowing. Psalm 82 says,
God stands in the congregation of the mighty,
He judges among the gods, elohim, mighty ones.
These are Divine beings under the authority of the God of Israel.

(Psalms 1) Blessed is the man,who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,or stands with the way of sinners,or sits in the seat of the scornful... Delight in the Word of God! Meditate and think of God and His Word and be planted and fruitful in Him!
There are two ways to interpret Scripture:I had those verses memorized as a kid, but for some reason it took a long time for it to click that it is speaking about delighting in the Torah, yet I had been taught to hold a negative view of the Torah, so I realized that if I was going to continue to uphold the Psalms as Scripture that I needed to change my view of the Torah to match the one expressed in the Psalms. Furthermore, the NT authors considered the Psalms to be Scripture, so I also realized that I needed to interpret them as though they were in complete agreement with the extremely positive view of the Torah that is expressed in the Psalms.
2 Corinthians 3:6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.There are two ways to interpret Scripture:
1- By the letter: the letter kills;
The Son is the exact image of God's nature, so he embodied the God's nature by setting a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the Torah. The Torah is God's word and Jesus is God's word made flesh, so we can't have faith in the one who embodies God's word instead of having faith in God's word.2 - By the Spirit: the Spirit gives life. (2Peter 1:20-21-Complete Jewish Bible(CJB : - 20 First of all, understand this: no prophecy of Scripture is to be interpreted by an individual on his own; 21 for never has a prophecy come as a result of human willing — on the contrary, people moved by the Ruach HaKodesh spoke a message from GOD.
2 Peter 1:20-21 King James Version-KJV
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of GOD spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 1:1-4 and 8KJV
1 GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days (last two days-2000 years) spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE of GOD's Person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when he had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
8 - But unto the Son-JESUS-, GOD saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy Kingdom.
GOD's Kingdom? Revelation 11:15 to 18 combined with 1 Corinthians 15:24 to 28. Take a look.
May our Lord GOD bless us and keep us, and give us His protection
Amen
By the letter of your words in your reply, I can discern the spirit that inspired you, if it is of GOD or not. Hebrews 4:12-13KJV :2 Corinthians 3:6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Yes, what matters and prevails is the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD, self-executing, it fulfills itself LITERALLY in its own self, understand? By the way, you mentioned Deuteronomy 30:15-20, and what is written in the verses 17-19 combined with Deuteronomy 28:15-68, it fulfilled LITERALLY against the rebel Israel in Babylon, and mainly after the crucifixion of the Messiah- Yeshua / JESUS, for in the year 70AD Israel was destroyed by the Romans, and the people was banned from their earth and spread themselves around the Gentile world, from year 70AD to 1948, 1878 years of strong chatisements, and severe curses-Deuteronomy 28:15-68.In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Torah in our minds and writing it on our hearts, and in Ezekiel 36:26-27, the New Covenant involves God taking away our hearts of stone, giving us hearts of flesh, and sending His Spirit to lead us in obedience to the Torah, and in Deuteronomy 30:15-20, obedience to the Torah brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so choose life! There are many other verses that say similar things, so 2 Corinthians 3:6 needs to be interpreted in light of these other verses in a way that is in agreement with them rather than a way that is contrary to them.
I would say you need to re-study your interpretation above. Meditate and think on GOD and His Word. The Word is GOD, self-executing as I have showed by this post. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the MOUTH of GOD. The Word that was given or proceeded out from the MOUTH of GOD is written in the Bible - Take a look in Hebrews 1:1-3.The Son is the exact image of God's nature, so he embodied the God's nature by setting a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the Torah. The Torah is God's word and Jesus is God's word made flesh, so we can't have faith in the one who embodies God's word instead of having faith in God's word.
