And of course men can do that right?
We can no more be as Holy as God as we can keep the 10 commandments.. The purpose of the law, the purpose of the call to be Holy as God is Holy is to show us our need for a Savior..
Gal 3:24 — Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead.
Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Yes, according to God who is being quoted in Deuteronomy 30:14 (KJV) as saying "you can do it." Or do you think God is teasing when he says "be holy, for I am holy" or "be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect"?
So what do we do now? Go with Paul or with God? God says you can and Paul says you can't. Who's lying?
The purpose of the law, the purpose of the call to be Holy as God is Holy is to show us our need for a Savior
If the law is there to show us that we need a Savior as you say, then why does the Old Testament say that the Law is to be observed forever? And how can something that is eternal be "fulfilled?"
And what's the purpose of Christ's saying "be therefore perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect" if he didn't think it can't be done?
Gal 3:24...Rom 3:20...
Pau, Paul and more Paul. That is the Protestant religion: Paul. Paul, a mere human, trumps God. Amazing.
