Another lie from the mouth of GT.Jesus did not teach the old law.
See how much she loves lies.

Foolish man.(Luke 16:16) "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it.
HINT: Jesus preached after John.
Jesus preached the good news of the kingdom, not the law of Moses.
Foolish man.
Matthew 5:17-18 KJV
(17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
(18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Jesus taught the law and prophets as well as teach that as long as long as there was heaven and earth not one thing would pass from the law.Fulfilling the law, is not the same as preaching the law.
That is not true. Which thread are you referring to?
There has been only one thread where I quoted him saying this:
And he never ever addressed my remarks about what he said there.
So tell me which thread you found where you think he addressed my remarks about what he said in that quote.
Thanks!
Your quotation serves my points above nicely. The dead must be quickened to life (regenerated). God does this for we are destitute and there is nothing we can do to merit life (such as the merits you claim for yourself versus your neighbor). Once so quickened we will believe. By believing we can now live.
In other words, we are saved, yet are being saved, in the now and not yet parlance of Scripture.
“Now, but not yet” describes the tension between the benefits of redemption already experienced in this life and those benefits which await us at the consummation. Christians enjoy the “alreadyness” of the Atonement—remission of sins, adoption as children, the indwelling Holy Spirit, etc. However, there is a sense in which we will not see these realities in totality until the last day (1 John 3:2), and so they always remain objects of faith. For instance, the believer already has eternal life (John 5:24), but he is not yet physically resurrected. Likewise, the church is a fellowship of persons who are both new creatures in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and still imperfect sinners. We await our glorification and the destruction of our sinful natures in the last day.
To be as plain as I can be, the unbeliever must first be given some spark of spiritual life, regenerated, before that person is now in possession of the moral ability to believe. As I have noted in previous posts that you seem to overlook, before this instantaneous temporal event of regeneration, the unbeliever is not able to believe given their state of moral inability (Jer. 17:9; Mark 7:21-23; Eph. 2:2; Eph. 2:4-5; Titus 3:5; John 3:19; Rom. 3:10-12; 5:6; 6:16-20; Eph. 2:1,3;1 Cor. 2:14). The unbeliever's moral inability is as a result of the fall of Adam, whose sin has been imputed (judicially declared) by God to all of Adam's progeny. We are born sinners and sin because we are sinners. We are not born morally neutral and become sinners by sinning.
Now this spark of regeneration, if you will, comes from the efficacious grace of God the Holy Spirit. When does the spark of regeneration ordinarily take place? By the word of God or through the word of truth as stated in the First Peter and James citations you noted above (and many more elsewhere Scripture). In other words it is ordinarily by the hearing of the Good News that those chosen by God are made able and are brought into the kingdom. This hearing of the Good News is but one of the means that God uses to temporally achieve His eternally decreed ends. This is the proper way of viewing the passage you have cited. It is not faith that causes re-birth, rather it is re-birth (regeneration) that yields firstfruits: faith. Faith is evidence you are saved, it is not the cause of your salvation, for God alone is the cause.
as well as teach that as long as long as there was heaven and earth not one thing would pass from the law.
In the thread in question (A Question for Open Theists in the Theology Club)he says this (dealing with Calvin's treatment of I John 5:11) in his last post on that thread
Faith is evidence you are saved, it is not the cause of your salvation, for God alone is the cause.
It cracks me up when you Darby followers say this.
If your above statement is true, then the law is fully in place today, right now.

Why don't you believe what you asked for?

Jesus did not teach the old law.
Jesus came to earth and taught the new law, the New Covenant, and then he shed his blood on the cross for the New Covenant.
Everything that Jesus says for me to do I do it....Jesus does not tell everyone to sell all they have.

Fulfilling the law, is not the same as preaching the law.
Luke 16:16 clearly proves you wrong.
Made up interpretation of Luke 16:16 from one line Craigie.(Luke 16:16) "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it.

Jesus preached the good news of the kingdom, not the law of Moses.
You are exactly right, and it is so good to read this.
Jesus taught the law and prophets as well as teach that as long as long as there was heaven and earth not one thing would pass from the law.
He taught that He did NOT have any intention to destroy the law and tells us not to even think such a thing.
Jesus did indeed teach the law.
Matthew 7:12 KJV
(12) Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Mark 12:29-31 KJV
(29) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
(30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
(31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
You and GT are foolish.
How do you like that, Craigie? A perverter of the gospel of Christ holding hands with you. Of course, being the weasel that you are, you won't rebuke this devil child, as long as they are anti dispy. Not a peep.
Right, Craigie? Right...
You are changing the subject from what I said in my OP. Go back and look there. I presented that evidence to Mr. Religion on page 30 of that thread, post #444.
After that Mr. Religion was not seen again on that thread. Perhaps you want to defend what he said here?:
