19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
“Do you see here, Jesus is telling us that NONE can live the law. Jesus offers himself in sacrifice so that we may do good works through him and not by our own effort. BECAUSE”
Nice commentary. Not the words of Jesus. Where does he say none can live the law? To the group he is addressing he says that they don’t follow the law of Moses. He is also saying that they are trying to kill him. If you follow your logic, then all mankind would attempt to kill Jesus? Woah, John, Peter, and all the apostles went out to kill him.
Look n&l, if the Pharisees couldn't keep the law, then why do you think you can? Or why could anyone else for that matter. And if you think you can add one single thing to the atonement by your own filthy self-glorifying acts, then you are in essence turning your back upon the crusifixion. You are exhibiting that you believe you can save yourself. But hey, good luck with that....and that becoming a 'god' thing.
(yeah, thinking you can be perfect in your obvedience and works enough that you can become a god is not in direct conflict to John 7:18...He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh His glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.)
