Please quote Scripture for such a statement. Please explain WHY within what you call "God's Law" there is PROVISION for forgiveness of sin if it required perfection in keeping? This is such a common misconception by Antinomians that I continue to be baffled by. "Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law, to do them." (Deut 27:26)

Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law, to do them

Among the things "written in the book of the law" was a detailed sacrificial system for atoning for failing to obey. Perseverance is key here - not failing to be exactingly perfect in doing it. You see "continueth" as if it means "perfectly" - it does not - in fact, Hebrew does not even convey what appears in English to be present tense. What this means is that we are not to abandon obedience to God as a lifestyle and rule of life, but rather to affirm God's standard and to act out that affirmation in obedience (hmm, sounds like Jesus' words in Matt 5:17-19).

Can you explain why we are told to obey the commandments in the "New Testament"? And if so, which ones?
