You teach the old Covenant by ignoring clear doctrines and manipulating isolated texts. I do not agree with your SDA doctrines. You ignore the cross and preach the law and the Sabbath.Then why are you arguing against keeping God's law? If you agreed, there would be no debate.
You can try to live by the law if you want.
I don't mind debating, but you can't stick to one issue.
I'm not a hater, Jews still live under the law until the fulness of the Gentiles come into Christ.
Scriptures proves that not one person could ever live by the law except for Jesus Christ.
Scriptures proves that God has given a new covenant unlike the one from Sinai. (The ten commandments)
As usual, your response ignores what both Paul and I said in Rom 7:6.Answered in detailed post #136- can we worship other gods, vain God's holy name, steal, covet - no, so Paul is not teaching we are released from the letter of the law but instead teaching us to live by the Spirit and tells us clearly those who do would be keeping God's law- those who are against God's law are living in the flesh (sin) Romans 8:7 which is what Romans 7:7 also tells us.
Rom 7:6
But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.
Who has been released from the law?
Who is dead to the law?
Who is no longer bound to the law?
How should we serve God?
Who should serve God by a new way (in the spirit) and not by the law?
You ignore the facts about what Paul is teaching.
Rom 7:7 ¶ Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”[fn]
Again, Paul nor I, am saying the law is a bad thing. You don't understand that Christ died to fulfill the law. The law has a great purpose. It explains sins but it does not promise life.
Gal 2:21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Gal 3:21
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
Paul is saying: If we're to be righteous by keeping the law, then Christ died in vain. Paul also teaches that; if any 1 of the commandments had promised life, then righteousness be by the law.
(lol)That other breath is your voice. I never said it's OK to sin. Unfortunately, your commentary appears to misrepresent what people are saying and to manipulate scriptures.There is no contradiction to my post and you can't say we are released from the law in one breath and in another say it's not okay to worship other gods, covet or steal, so either you have a misunderstanding of what it means to live by the Spirit and misunderstand what Paul is teaching. Paul says what matters is keeping God's commandments. Too many people depend on their version of right-doing and not God's Psalms 119:172, their truth over God's Psalms 119:151 our works can't save us but God's works Exodus 32:16 leads us to righteousness Romans 6:16 and is perfect for converting the soul Psalms 19:7
