There is no getting around the fact that Scripture DOES say we are saved by the grace of God and NOT by our works - of course it is through faith that we appropriate that grace and receive the gift of God which is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You are nitpicking something that NOBODY has actually claimed!
Or using the apostles attack on the false law of the Pharisees as an attack on the covenant that they all preached.
Only it WASN'T the "false law of the Pharisees" that Paul preached against but the false and accursed gospel that obeying the Law of Moses could impart righteousness
When one seeks to establish his own righteousness by the law or any other kinds of works of righteousness, he is FALLEN from grace.
Or ignoring the obvious fact that Acts 15 is a study on how to teach Torah to new believers. Insanity squared!
Here is what Acts 15 says was the problem that initiated the council of Jerusalem:
The "law of Moses" means THE LAW OF MOSES. This sect was trying to force the Gentiles to be circumcised ACCORDING TO the Law of Moses in addition to keeping the Law in order to be justified. How is your teacher saying anything different than these first century dividers?
Funny how e-s hasn’t replied to this post proving him wrong.
It’s almost like he desperately wants to ignore it.
