Actually, much of the Scripture you yourself have presented I'd also use to support
Sola Gractia. The Law which condemned us, and even condemns those today who aren't in Christ, was fulfilled
Sola Christus. Such that it is inside Christ's righteous alone, and nothing of our Law keeping that makes us righteous before or pleasing to God.
It really is just a matter of wrong and right interpretation, and I simply believe many passages you use for support undo your case more than anything. However, let's delve into some Scripture...
Gman says: How can we love God and the law, except that we read and study it.
But Jeremiah said: “Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD. “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the LORD, “
I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. “They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” (Jeremiah 31:31-34)
Gman says: the Law is love and brings us close to God.
Paul says: All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.' Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, 'The righteous will live by faith.' The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, 'The man who does these things will live by them.' Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.' (Galatians 3:10-13)
Gman says: the Law was not abolished and we so should keep them.
and he is correct that the Law was not abolished, but...
Christ said: "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish
but to fulfill.
None of us here believe the Law was literally destroyed (strawman), but rather it was fulfilled in Christ. Mind you, Christ received punishment of a false prophet by Pharisees according to the Law. Yet, Christ was justified in the resurrection by God against the Law that was used to crucify Him. He suffered the death of a false prophet and His followers dispersed and abandoned. But the Law that was used to nail Christ, was in the resurrection shown to have been in fact conquered by Christ.
Gman says: But we should keep the Law because it is pleasing to God that we do.
But Isaiah said: All our righteous acts are like filthy rags to God. (Isaiah 64:6) How can we please God at all if all he sees are the blood-stained rags of women? (or filthy garments at best)
Gman says: But we must still keep the Law if we love God. It is how we love God.
Paul says: that the purpose of the Law was to silence us. The Law shows us our sinfulness. The Law reveals that no one truly seeks after God--
- Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
“Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
ruin and misery mark their ways,
and the way of peace they do not know.”
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. (Romans 3:9-20)
Gman says: Nonetheless, by God's grace we can keep the Law -- it is how we love God!
Me: Think that through logically. Our righteousness is as "filthy rags". So, if it is God who enables us to keep the Law -- which is how we love God -- then logic says it is God who is loving Himself through us, NOT us. Every time you sin or masturbate to porn or whatever your weakness is, your godless lust and conscience bears witness against you and reveals that you - your nature - truly doesn't love God.
You are in opposition to God.
Just because you keep a Sabbath Day, now you're loving God?? Again, our acts are like filthy rags. Just because we now decide to do "good" at some point oe keep the Law in some area/s, well those filthy rags God sees would smother blood over any good that we think we're able do. We can't love God through the Law, we can't show love to God in our actions because according to Scripture God only sees filth.
Gman: So you just love God any way you see fit then?
Me: It is not about "our love" at all. It is about God's love, specifically Christ's love for us. What matters isn't "our" love but rather Christ's love for us.
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer
through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39)
And it is in Christ -- which is all to do with Christ's love for us rather than our love for God, that we are free to come to God as who we are
in all our sinful glory.
Furthermore, it is the Holy Spirit which bears witness with our spirit that we are sons and daughters of Christ (Romans 8:16), not the Law or our love for it, or our desire or ability to keep it.
Gman: So we should just do anything then. Nice one. I think I'll do whatever I please.
Me: Hey, if whatever you please is not whatever pleases God... well now you're at least honestly acting in accordance to your true nature. You've stripped yourself bear and just shown you don't love God after all. Which is the first requirement to accepting the Gospel and placing your faith in Christ.
As for those who have placed their faith in Christ:
- "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1:6)
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:16-19)
It isn't about us or what we do. It is all Jesus. Who cleanses us from sin and unrighteousness?
"If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
Is Christ not faithful? Will He not work good within me?
Since it is by God's grace in Christ, and His work within us that we can do any good pleasing to God, then our keeping the Law would be simply God ultimately pleasing Himself. I have no problem with that since I'm God's vessel in Christ, as Paul says: "for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13)
But there is no room for an "I" in any good works I produce. It is all God and because of Christ that anything done via my body is pleasing to God. Given this, it is contradictory to say that "I" am able to love God via keeping the Law, since I'm not responsible for any good actions or works.
Anything good I did manage to do would be smeared with the blood of filthy rags of the bad I do anyway.
Good luck Gman! You're in my prayers.
I do believe there were a few people that got it perhaps.. We shall see..
