Torah perfect, not "worthless" The law of the LORD is perfect The Law of the Lord - is perfect - gives new strength - is trustworthy - gives wisdom - is right - is just - gives understanding - is always fair - gives knowledge to me Psalm 19:7-11 7 The law of the Lord is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the Lord are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it. 8 The laws of the Lord are right, and those who obey them are happy. The commands of the Lord are just and give understanding to the mind. 9 Reverence for the Lord is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the Lord are just; they are always fair. 10 They are more desirable than the finest gold; they are sweeter than the purest honey. 11 They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them. (Today's English Version) 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8 the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. (Revised Standard Version) |

2 | Will there be a partial rapture? | 1 Thess 4:17 | Searcher56 | 154008 | ||
Correction ... Counting on the Torah for salvation is worthless ... Phil 3:3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, Phil 3:4 although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: Phil 3:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; Phil 3:6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless. Phil 3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. |

For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 3:28 (ESV) Searcher: You write "Counting on the Torah for salvation is worthless". When you put it that way I must reply with a hearty AMEN! Romans 4:2-3 (ESV) For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. [3] For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." Romans 3:27-31 (ESV) Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. [28] For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. [29] Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, [30] since God is one. He will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. [31] Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law. Grace to you, Kalos |
