Metmom post 193: God never abolished the Law and its requirements.
Putting these two thoughts together: We are not under a law and it's requirements that were never abolished.
Lucys, Youse got some splainin to do (Desi Arnez accent)
i never said that God abolished the law.. I said the saved are not under it.. BIG DIFFERENCE

Galatians 3:1-29 will clarify this. It's only 29 verses...won't take to long to read.
Let's see if I can help...
Genesis 17 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
1 And after he began to be ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to him: and said unto him: I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 Abram fell flat on his face.
4 And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations.
6 And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God.
9 Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10 This is my covenant which you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised:
11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock:
13 And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.
14 The male, whose flesh of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant.
15 God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara.
16 And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him.
17 Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?
18 And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.
19 And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.
Exodus 20
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Do I need to post Acts 15?
We’ve been trying........
But spiritual truths are spiritually discerned and the man without the spirit cannot understand them.
The Law stands forever.
God’s dealings with man changed under the different covenant. We are no longer held accountable for not keeping a law that no one could keep to begin with.
Answer this then.
Why was the Law given?
It's been 'splained to you numerous times with scripture in other threads...
I'm guessin' that every time scripture is posted, you skip over it, and at the very least, refuse to believe it...
