Taft I agree with you on what you wrote. Roland G, you, however do not know that by the way you arranged your word that it does not square with the Word of God. You said:God curses anyone who lives under the Mosaic Law because no one is perfect. God did not curse Moses, Joshua or Caleb despite the fact that they were under the Law. Your comprehension of Galatians 3:10 should be more rounded with all other related scriptures. Because…

Isaiah 8:20 says, To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

As Taff rightly pointed out from the scriptures: God’s word makes it clear that by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (Romans 3:20).

And may i add in my own words which Taff also stated, that it is our faith which justified us which result in being a doer of the Law! Being a doer of the Law however imperfectly yet faith is shown by our obedience and doing God’s Laws. Or in the Bible Words:

Rom 2:13 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

We do the Laws of God not to be save but because we are save, therefore we now obey what He tells us as the right thing to do as shown to us by His Laws! We now established the Law by doing and teaching it!

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith. (Galatians 3:10-11)
There are two types of people explained that seek justification by either their works or by faith in God’s promises. God’s word makes it clear that by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (Romans 3:20).

We must ask ourselves why did Christ come and are we working for the same goal in our own lives (John 1:17, Matthew 1:21, John 8:11)? Christ came to save people from sin in obedience to his divine plan to do just as he did by faith in God’s provisions and restore what was lost in Eden. Man’s heart is desperately wicked above all things and who can know it (Psalm 14:1-3, 1st Corinthians 2:14) and thus the need for God with whom all things are possible (Luke 18:27, Matthew 19:26, Luke 1:37). We can indeed overcome by the blood of the lamb by trusting in God’s word by faith that he provides the increase in our lives through obedience (Philippians 2:13, Romans 5:6). So then it is no more by our merits, but God working in us.

If we are justified by faith, faith is based on a promise we have been given by God (Romans 10:17) and acted on, for faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26).

Those who are presumptuous enough to think that they can conduct their lives however they choose and not take the time to build a relationship are in danger of neglecting so great a salvation (Colossians 1:20-23).

Only when we confess and forsake our sins after the realization that God provides, then God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (Proverbs 28:13, 1st John 1:9, 2nd Chronicles 6:24-25). The same thing was true before Christ came to die, people when they presented a sacrifice to the priest/high priest to atone for a sin they were suppose to look forward to the promise of a messiah, for it was a shadow of things to come (Colossians 2:12-17).

What then? Do we make void the law through faith? God forbid yea, we establish the law (Romans 3:31) because by the law we have the knowledge of sin (Galatians 3:24 ) - good and evil, right and wrong, obedience and disobedience.

Let use hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

Roland G. You said that “God curses everyone who lives under the Mosaic Law”; question: Did God cursed Moses, Joshua and Caleb for they lived under the Mosaic Law? Give us the scripture where God specifically cursed them for living under the Mosaic Law?

God curses anyone who lives under the Mosaic Law because no one is perfect. The God-man, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law because He is perfect.
