Clare73 said:Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.
So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.
Now that faith has come we are no longer under the supervision of the law.
--Galatians 3:23-25
Christ is the goal of the law in that he was to lead us to justification by faith, removing us from under the law--to put an end to the law's supervision of us, not to establish us in it.
Which is precisely what you are doing in your failure to deal with the meaning of above Scriptures--setting what Jesus said regarding the New Covenant (Matthew 22:37-41) against what he did under the Old Covenant.Christ did not go around teaching people that the law has ended and that they needed to stop repenting, but just the opposite, so
what is said about what Jesus did in Galatians 3:23-25 should not be used against following what is recorded about what Christ did.
That is Judaizing the gospel which the NT anathametizes (Galatians 1:6-9), and a failure to rightly divide (cut straight, handle) the NT word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
Jesus was born, lived, preached and died under the Old Covenent.
What he did was obey the Old Covenant that he might mediate a New Covenant, which he revealed in what he said.
And what he said was the Decalogue is accomplished/fulfilled (Romans 13:8-10) in obedience to his two commandments (Matthew 22:37-41), in which two commandments he managed to enlarge the scope (love my neighbor) and raise the standard (as myself) of the ten (Decalogue).
In obeying Jesus' two commandments, one is thereby obeying the Decalogue, and is not "going back to live in sin"--your ridiculous straw man.
