Who is trying to censor who?

BEHOLD THE LAW IN ITS PERSPECTIVE:

John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Galatians 3:23-25
23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

James 2
8If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

9But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

10For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

11For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

1 John 3
4Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Hebrews 7:19
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Blogger, show me which Apostle, other than +Paul, pushed the idea that Christians do not need to be under the Law?

Show me which Apostle actually wrote that circumcision (equivalent to Christian Baptism) is to be dispensed with? No one was willing to put his name on that idea, other than +Paul.

That would like someone now saying we don't need to be Baptized!

You keep saying that I reject [sic] 3/4 of the NT (I never rejected anything in the New Testament explicitly or implicitly). Do you not find it strange that two Apostles who did not know Christ personally (+Paul and +Luke) wrote more than those who actually walked with our Lord? I do!

I look at +Paul's writings the same way I look at his statements about women being covered in church, or not allowed to speak/preach. He also says that the head of a woman is man, as Christ is the head of man, and God (Father I suppose) the head of Christ (although this is strangely non-Triniatrian in my opinion).

As for +Paul, explain Rom 2:13 "for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified." Not something the Protestants quote very often as "Pauline" teaching.

In fact, Romans 2:1-6 should be the assigned reading for this morning. Good night and may God bless you all.
