Bible Note: Hello Bub "As for your closing question, 'Do you believe that keeping the Torah contributes in any way to "justification"?' Well let’s see: Ro 2:13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." This is an invalid use. You have already stated that the law was what the Pharisees had put in place and was common use of life at the time. Paul being a Pharisee would have had the same understanding. Therefore, by your own reasoning, this "law" has nothing to do with Torah. Steve |
