Most of the other members contributing to this forum have integrity on their side, and those who have followed this thread know that your comments misrepresent what I've posted. To the extreme, and should a moderator take an interest it is likely that they're going to look on your post as a personal attack.
Let's remember that I have upheld the Holiness of the Law mediated through Moses, and made a contribution to this thread when I observed that your first course of action was to diminish the Holiness of the Law to a mere list of 'principles', six times in the poorly worded questions of your poll.
From there I pointed out from Scripture -Romans 7:6 and Galatians 3:23- that the relationship is that the Law kept the recipients until the fulness of time determined by God -Galatians 4:4-5- and God redeemed those who were retained by the Law to make them His own adopted sons and daughters. That is the essence of the Gospel -God's redemption- that you continue to show denial of.
Throughout our posting history, I have asked you to document when and where God ever gave the Gentiles in Barbados -or elsewhere- the covenant from Mount Sinai Moses entitled the Ten Commandments. At no time did you ever attempt to provide any support that the Gentiles ever received the old covenant. At no time did you ever provide any solution to the estrangement apart from God the Gentiles suffered under during the Law's tenure (Ephesians 2:11-16, Galatians 3:13-14).
Your latest contribution is to deny the Biblical record regarding the origin of the Law, and the origin of sin that resulted from Adam's transgression that isn't even included in the covenant from Mount Sinai. Each time you have an opportunity to, you have chosen to contradict the Law's own testimony, and you have even contradicted yourself enough times that your opinions have long lost any hope of credibility.
So, your accusation that posting members opine God's action in taking away the Ten Commandments doesn't really tell the whole story. Not when it is realized that God never gave you -a Gentile- the Ten Commandments in the first place. And yes, the Biblical record is replete with God ending the jurisdiction of the Ten Commandments over those He redeemed as His own children. This has been established as factual in recent posts, and asking another member why he supposed God did this was met with his fiat statement that he "can't go there". I'm not in the business of determining why someone else would state this, but making such a statement disqualifies such a person from further contributions on a forum limited to discussions among Christians hoping to hash out differences.
So yes, I will agree with the Gospel's message that we
can violate the old covenant - which is necessary in light of God's determination that we
have violated the old covenant, with no exceptions: "
For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all" (Romans 11:32), and it is solely to His redeemed that He gives us His promise "
Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more". It is necessary because sin still exists apart from the Law, just as it did before the Law existed.
...
And consistent with the way you've stripped the Law of its Holiness by making it a list of 'principles', it becomes something you advocate evil from. There hasn't been a law that has ever successfully transformed the fallen human character, but rather only condemned those who have transgressed it.
Which is everyone who ever received it; no exceptions: "
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God."
Failing to keep the sabbath Holy, bearing false witness, and grovelling before the created instead of the Creator Who is forever blessed are all transgressions I have observed from your posts.
Is it all right for you to transgress God's Holy Law?
That's a rhetorical question you won't answer.
It is a 'principle' I have observed many times that those most likely to transgress the covenant from Mount Sinai are those who advocate bringing God's purchased possession back under that which He redeemed us
from. It is driven by the spiritual purpose ordained into the Law, designed to drive you to your knees in search of your Redeemer.
Galatians 3
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
God's redeemed children live in the experience
after faith in our Redeemer has come.
Those remaining in a condition
before faith is given to them remain under the tutelage of the Law, for it hasn't finished with you yet.
