While the only way for someone to attain a character trait is through faith, what it means for someone to attain a character trait is for them to become a doer of that trait. For example, the only way for someone to become courageous is through faith apart from being required to have first done...

One new man that should walk in God's way, not reject it. Jesus spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey God's law by word and by example and while Gentiles do not need to become Jews in order to become his follower, Gentiles can't follow him by refusing to follow what he taught. In 1...

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and God's law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the...

In Ephesians 2:12-19, Gentiles were at one time separated from Christ, alienated from Israel and the covenants of promise, and without hope and without God in this world, which is all in accordance with Gentiles at one time not being doers of God's law, but through faith in Christ all of that is...

Psalms 119:29-30 (ESV) Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law! 30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me. I don't see a significant change in meaning between the translations.

In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey His law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith. In Exodus 33:13, Moses...

The Bible often uses the same words to describe the character traits of God as it does to describe the character traits of God's instructions, which is because it is God's instructions for how to be a doer of His character traits, such as with it being holy, righteous, and good (Romans 7:12) or...

Those are indeed God's character traits. The way that we should behave on a personal level is not the same as the way that we should behave on a judicial level. Someone should try to seek to repay what others have done to them in accordance with what they see as getting even, but that is...

The way to obey God is by being a doer of His character traits, which is also the way to worship Him.

The way to believe in and worship the God of Abraham is by directing our lives towards being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits. For example, by being a doer of good works in obedience to God's law we are testifying about God's goodness, which is why our good works...

That doesn’t follow.

There is strong agreement between Jesus and the house of Hillel, so he was Orthodox and the Talmud derives from the OT many of the same things that are taught in the NT, so he was strongly Orthodox.

God is sovereign over all, so we are all obligated to walk in His way. God taught the Israelites to walk in His way so that they would would be equipped to be a light and a blessing to the nations by turning them from their wickedness and by teaching them to walk in God’s way in accordance with...

We are obligated to walk in God's way regardless of whether or not we choose to do so. The Bible repeatedly shows that God taught how to walk in His way through the Mosaic Law, such as in Deuteronomy 10:12-13, Isaiah 2:2-23, 1 Kings 2:1-3, Joshua 22:5, Psalms 103:7, Psalms 119:1-3, and many others.

Again, there is no temple.

God is sovereign, so we are all obligated to obey Him regardless of whether or not we agree. God commanding the death penalty is not contrary to God being love. God's way is the way to know, love, glory, believe in, and testify about Him by being in His likeness through being a doer of His...

In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God spoke to him without departing from it, so the Law of Moses is the Law of God, which is also why it is referred to as being the Law of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23. Nowhere does the Bible say this...

No, that is not true. Even if what if I were actively trying to sin as much as possible, then that would just mean that I should repent, not that I wrong about the fact that followers of God should walk in His way in accordance with the example that Jesus set for us to follow. The New Covenant...

It is good that you are acknowledging that according to God’s what you are doing is worthy of the death penalty, so what don’t you like about it?

There is no Sanhedrin, so anyone doing that would be transgressing the Law of Moses.
