Nonsense, it was one WHOLE lawAgain, Paul is talking about the Old Testament Law and not all Law. This is clear according to the context if you were to read it more closely.
For if Paul was talking about all Law, then you could not rely on the Command or Law in 1 John 3:23.
...
Then how do you explain John 3:16?
I'm not twisting anything.
Lets clarify then.
Do you rely on obeying the law to attain heaven?
The answer is yes or no
I WILL write my laws on their minds and place them on their hearts
So Jesus is not your Lord and you don't love him unless you obey each and every literal command of Christ in the Gospels?Believing in Jesus is more than just believing in the person of Jesus, it is believing in everything He taught and commanded of us. For if you believe in a Jesus that told you to jump off a bridge, then that would be another Jesus. If you believe in a Jesus that told you to not obey Him, then I would say that would be another Jesus (Because Jesus always told us to obey Him and not to disobey Him). For Jesus said, if you love me, keep my Commandments. He said if you are my friends, do whatsoever I command you.
Jesus said why do you call me Lord, Lord if you do not do what I say?

I have responded to the points you make in your posts. You have chosen to duck answering uf you rely on obeying the law to attain to heaven.I'm sorry but as I said before, you don't get to ask all the questions and evade those posed to you. When that happens, it's easy to see whos' answering and who's evading, and a certain fact can be drawn from that.
None of your questions are tough to answer but in order to have a fair exchange here, we all need to join in equally.
So, once again, does the following mean those laws are to be obeyed or not:
Nonsense, it was one WHOLE law
Paul is referring to all the OT law, including the ten commandments. Do you now accept this? You didn't previouslyIn Galatians 3, Paul is talking about the word "law" in reference to the Law of Moses. Paul says, "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ" The word "circumcision" appears 5 times in Galatians 2, as well.
Paul is clearly referencing the Old Law and not the New Law here.

Do you obey try hem all?
No fibbing, please

I can see why you don't now want to answer the question
Believing in Jesus is more than just believing in the person of Jesus, it is believing in everything He taught and commanded of us. For if you believe in a Jesus that told you to jump off a bridge, then that would be another Jesus. If you believe in a Jesus that told you to not obey Him, then I would say that would be another Jesus (Because Jesus always told us to obey Him and not to disobey Him). For Jesus said, if you love me, keep my Commandments. He said if you are my friends, do whatsoever I command you.
Jesus said why do you call me Lord, Lord if you do not do what I say?

Answer if we should obey Gods laws?Yet you still do not answer yet you continually expert answers.
OK, so let me try this from a different angle, why are you afraid to answer that?
Did Jesus say every command?
That is something you are adding.
Paul is referring to all the OT law, including the ten commandments. Do you now accept this? You didn't previously
He did quote that man doesn't live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
You previously told me gal3:10&11 does not include the Te commandments. Do you still believe that?I never changed my position on Paul referencing the Old Law when he mentions the word "law" many times. Granted, Paul has made reference to New Covenant Law, as well, though. But these are clearly defined. As I said before, there is the Law of Christ, and the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.
Also, the Law is more than just the 10 Commandments.
Please stop stating that the Law is just the 10 Commandments.
That is not what the Jews believed nor is it what the Word of God says.
There are 613 Commands in the OT. But believers today look to the NT and not the OT to obey God, though.
...
I will answer that if you promise to then tell me if you rely on obeying the law to attain to heaven.
Yes. For if we are ashamed of Jesus (Which would be by His Word or words), then he will be ashamed of us in front of his father and his holy angels.
...
The Ten Commandments are an inflexible law. There is no imaginary pass mark of obedience to them that will entitle you to enter heaven. Perfectly obey them or stand guilty before them. There is nothing in those commands that speak of mercy or forgiveness
The Old Testament Law was not just .... some law.
....
Fine. So if part of your plan for salvation is obeying the law, you MUST rely on obeying the law for salvationI already answered that, and just because I didn't allow you to make it appear that's all I rely on, does not mean I didn't answer. I rely on the whole plan of salvation, what you mention there, as in obeying God (that's your answer flat out and witnessed) as well as accepting his grace to forgive when I do not obey, just as he says he will forgive.
Your turn.
