Okay, now read 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, 1 Corinthians 2:13-14, Acts of the Apostles 28:26-27.
You cannot see what is plainly in front of you. The previous scriptures show clearly that God requires us to continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them; if we are going to be redeemed through keeping the law (Galatians 3:10-14). That if we keep the whole law and offend in one point, we are guilty of breaking all of it (James 2:10). And that Jesus commands us to be perfect even as our heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48).
You tell me how these scriptures don't show that the requirement is to keep the law perfectly, if we are going to be justified by the keeping of the law.
Sorry justbyfaith, you are reading something into the Bible that isn't there. Let the Bible speak for itself without you adding anything. Jesus said if you (you, me, and everyone else) wants to enter life, keep the commandments. No need to add 'perfectly' when it's not there.
If Jesus had meant keep them 'perfectly', this would have been the most essential passage to add 'perfectly'. However, He didn't and I am sure not going to add it. I can add things to this passage also if I wanted to prove my point. For instance, 'if you want to enter life, keep the commandments like Zacharias and Elizabeth did', or 'if you want to enter life, keep the commandments, for then you will know me' (oh wait, John did say that in his epistle).
Now given what John said, how do you propose anyone can know Him without keeping His commandments?
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
With John's words in mind, please answer these questions.
1. Can someone who does not know Jesus be saved?
2. Can someone who does not know Jesus be justified?
3. Can someone who does not know Jesus have any truth in them?
4. Can someone who is a liar know the truth?
5. Can someone who is a liar know Jesus?
6. Can someone who is a liar tell others they cannot enter life by keeping His commandments?
7. Can someone who has no truth in him be saved?
8. Can someone who has no truth in him think he knows better than Jesus?
9. Can someone who has no truth in him know Jesus?
10. Can someone who has not truth in him understand why some people believe Jesus and want to enter life by keeping His commandments?
How in the world can you and others say we can't keep His commandments, how can you and others say we are not saved by keeping His commandments, and how can you and others tell others not to believe Jesus, for life is not acquired the way Jesus said, but acquired some other way?
