What happened to the fear of the LORD? How is it many take His word so lightly today that they put up with teaching that blatantly disregards the clear texts of scripture?! .. And yet they affirm themselves to be His followers. Are they not DECEIVED, DESPISERS OF THE LORD'S WORD?! FOR IN ELEVATING THEIR TEACHINGS ABOVE THE SCRIPTURES THEY HAVE SUBVERTED AND NOT SUBMITTED THEMSELVES TO HIS WORD!
This is a great and simple and clear expositional teaching concerning the gospel of the kingdom and grace of God.
Awake to righteousness and sin not!

CLARIFICATION: We affirm that the Law of God in Christ is the selfsame Law given to Moses illuminated by Christ and written on our hearts. The Law is not the Savior. Faith in Christ is the ROOT and obedience to His commands is the FRUIT of salvation.
Jesus affirmed and did not abolish Moses. (cf. Mt. 5:16-20; 23:1-3; 28:19,20; Prov.6:23; Ps.9:7; 37:31)
There is more to be said here concerning the circumcision faction which was in fact another gospel. It was a perversion of the Law (Torah) and in effect had set up Law as Idol and Savior contrary to its purpose.
The members of this sect as did the scribes and pharisees elevated their tradition (which entailed a perversion of a Torah commandment) above the revelation of Christ's atonement - a new and living way through the Word made flesh.
Instead, they sought to boast in the flesh and become the 'guardians of salvation' or the department of immigration and naturalization for salvation overseeing the making of citizens of the Kingdom with their ritual of proselytization -- to be saved, you must become an Israelite their way. (cf. I Cor. 7:17-24; II Cor. 3)
This was a serious error and required refutation. The Law is holy, just, and good. The Law is spiritual. The Law must be used Lawfully. The Law itself is not salvific; the LORD who saves (Yeshua) IS. All who would be saved must enter in through the gate of the sheep, unless they are thieves and robbers. -- Amen and amen.
