Michael D: FTR, The law of Moses is associated with bondage not liberty. I Cor 15 tells us that the strength of sin is the law. Paul says in Galatians 4 that Sinai brings men into bondage... Paul asked why they desired to return again to bondage by returning to the law. The law was given that sin might increase. The law was given that every mouth might be stopped and all might become guilty before God. Rom 4, we are dead to the law that we might live unto God...
Evidently, the perfect law of liberty is not the law of Moses!!! What is it then??? Go figure that one out...
The apostles said that they commanded no man to teach the Gentiles to obey the law of Moses. Peter said that neither they nor the fathers could have born the law. He said to require such is to tempt God. Notice, he did not say that now that the Gentiles have Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we will saddle them with the requirements of the law, he said they are saved by the grace of God just as we, so leave them alone!!!! Reading things about the need for the law that aren't there is being intellectually dishonest, or be in serious deception.
You are fulfilling Paul's warning of those who desire to be teachers of the law, and know not what they teach, or affirm. Paul says we are dead to the law, but you want believers to be alive to the law. Paul said that we live by faith without the law, you say that we live by faith and the law. You need to repent and believe the gospel.

So speak ye, AND SO DO, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty."If he did he would be contradicting Paul.II Peter 3Yeah, You are fulfilling exactly this, unfortunately.
