Can you and have you kept the law withouit fail?
Whereas I believe that what we need is repentance and forgiveness. I don't see the sacrifice as necessary.
The law was broken, it HAS to be paid for or else God tells lies.
What does this really mean? Does that mean that the letter of the law doesn't need to be obeyed? Does that mean that one doesn't even need to try to obey the law?
It means the Holy Spirit will do it in our lifes if we yeild to Him.

Me? Are you kidding? For much of my life I didn't even think that it applied to me. And I'm still studying and trying to learn. At the same time, I trust that God forgives my failings when I repent and seek forgiveness.
Judaism doesn't teach that man is inherently depraved. We choose to do good or evil, to obey or disobey. There is no reason that we cannot choose to obey the Law. First, we have to know what it is, and then we have to choose to do it.
The law was broken, it HAS to be paid for or else God tells lies.
It has to be paid for, but God accepts our repentance, prayer and return to obedience as sufficient.
It means the Holy Spirit will do it in our lifes if we yeild to Him.
Do you mean that the Holy Spirit will give you the grace to be able to follow the Law?
What Law do you believe you are supposed to obey?
