Again no scripture. I did not abolish the law, Jesus did, Colossians 2:10.
Vile, satanic, habitual liar, spammer, troll, as you delete 3/4 of scriptures, add to it, change words, replacing them with your daddy the devil's words, which you admit, ON RECORD, that you do.. Answer these scriptures, demon,which you;ve been shown for year, 666 one, that picks your satanic assertion, that the LORD destroyed, MADE VOID, His law.
1 Pate 6:66 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power, because He destroyed, made void the law, b so that there is no condemnation/judgment, that the Saviour might bear, in our place, and no sin debt possible, for which He might die, as Christ did not die for our sins, he did not take our just judgment/condemnation, in our place, becoming a curse, for us, for breaking his existing law. The LORD has eliminated the law, so that there is no sin debt, judgment, condemnation.
=word=for-word spam, that I/others, have refuted, with chapter, and verse, as the wicked deceiver changes words in the bible, replacing them with his Pate-ianity words, adds words to the bible, and butchers the meaning of words.
Pate calls Paul a liar, a false apostle, a deceiver, as Pate asserts that this should not be in the bible...
Romans 3:31 KJV Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
...or revises it to:
Pate-ianity: Do we then make void the law through faith? yea, we do!!! The law is void.
You wicked deceiver, and your spamming Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:14, 2 Corinthians 3:13, in isolation, satanically "interpreting" them, is from the pits of hell.
No, satanic shill, when we talk about "nailing it to his cross", that is not the law itself, but the curse of the law, or the penalties for disobeying the existing law. It was the penalty of the broken law which He rendered inoperative, not the law itself.
In that time period, when a man was charged with a crime, the charges against him were written down on papyrus. If he was found not guilty, the papyrus was then washed down with water, removing or blotting out those charges against him, to confirm his acquittal. This abolished the written charges against the man. This is the what is referred to in "blotting out of ordinances against us" that were nailed to the cross, not the law itself.
The holy law is still God's standard of righteousness and all the requirements for the broken law remain unchanged, apart from Him.The certificate of debt was wiped away and nailed to the cross, not the law.The penalty which a lawbreaker had to pay was nailed--it does not signify the laws that are to be obeyed--only the penalty.
No, it does not "plainly say" that God's perfect law was abolished, deceiver, despite your spam, posting verses in isolation, deleting 3/4 of the bible, including, where it "plainly" says:
Matthew 5:17 KJV Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Psalms 111 KJV
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
....to "prove" his doctrine of demons."
He corrupts, perverts both Ephesians 2:15 KJV, Colossians 2:14 KJV, to prop up his satanic assertion that the perfect, holy, just, good, not void law of God, which reflects His character, is no longer in existence.
Thus, Pate, on record, asserts that Christ died in vain, there was no reason to die, as He did not need to die to pay our IOU/sin debt, as all the LORD God had to do, was destroy/abolish/make void/eliminate the law, so there would not be a sin debt/IOU. Thus, he then,like the devil attempts to ...
He satanically delete "the handwriting of ordinances" of Colossians 2:14 KJV, replacing it with "law/ordinances," thus perverting, corrupting the scriptures, making it look like Paul says that Christ blotted out, made void, the law/ordinances, making it look like Paul is saying that the law/ordinances are contrary/against us, not for our benefit, instead of Paul saying that the sin debt/IOU was blotted out, as that is what is contrary to us, against us, as Paul asserts that the law is perfect, good, holy, just, spiritual, not void, in Romans 11, and the problem is with man, and the sin debt/IOU for breaking a good, holy, spiritual law, not the law itself.
Pate says the opposite, asserting that the problem is with the law, as it is not prefect/good/holy/spiritual,as he asserts that it causes us to sin, as it is sin, and the problem is not with man/him, and he asserts that the solution is to assert that Christ came to destroy/abolish/blot out the law, not to die for man's breaking the good, holy, spiritual, law of God.
He keeps satanically spamming this made up slop, that Col. 2:13-14 KJV has God's holy laws in view, being nailed to the cross. I, and others, have corrected you on it, over, and over, and yet you keep asserting this satanic "doctrine." One more time, to protect the sheep/babes, from your lies:
What was nailed to the cross is described as “the handwriting of requirements"-that was against us, which was contrary to us.” Because “ordinances” sounds like “law,” some, like sloppy Pate, twist the meaning of “nailed it to the cross” into Paul saying the force of the law of God ended at the death of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The writ of charges...
In using the words “handwriting of requirements … contrary to us … nailed it to the cross,” Paul was describing the record of our sins, the indictment that required the penalty of death.
No, the indictments against believers, the charges against believers, the legal indebtedness against believers – was what was dropped, and nailed to the cross at the Lord Jesus Christ's death, rather than the law itself, which is consistently characterized in Scripture as eternal, and good...To wit:
Romans 7 KJV
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
“handwriting,”=a memorandum of debt, "a writing by hand" used in public and private contracts.
The wages of our sins—our debt—is death (Romans 6:23). The Lord Jesus Christ was willing to pay that debt by dying in our place, thus blotting out the record of our debt and pardoning our sins.
Survey the "death warrant" against us, because of our sin/sins is the sign that Pilate had nailed to the cross upon which the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. John 19:19-22 KJV-It was customary to publish a writ of charges against the condemned, and the board above the Lord Jesus Christ's head was inscribed with the charges for which the Jewish authorities demanded His death. Thus, it was a Roman custom, to write the name of the condemned person and his crime on a plaque to be placed above his head at the execution. Survey Mark 15:26 KJV-"superscription of his accusation."
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.
The charges removed-the meaning, then, of Colossians 2:13-14 KJV, based upon the immediate and the broader context is: You gentile believers had a death sentence against you due to your sin/sins-here are the charges............... But through the dbr, everything that one time could have been held against you has been removed.
The law against believers? No, it wasn’t God’s law that was against believers; it was the sins that they committed, as defined by that same holy, good law!. "the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,"= anything written by hand, but can more specifically apply to a legal document, bond or note of debt, was against us!!!!
Paul is relaying that the LORD God has "wiped out," removed, "nailed to the cross," through the body of Christ , representing mankind's guilt, the instrument for the remembrance of sin. The legal basis of this instrument was the "binding statutes," Col. 2:14 KJV, but what the LORD God destroyed on the cross was not the legal ground, the law, for our entanglement into sin, but the written record of our sins. By destroying the record of sins, the LORD God removed the possibility of a charge ever being made again against those who have been forgiven-a dead man is not under jurisdiction to the law.
" Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,"
The above-a handwritten acknowledgement or note of debt, something like an I.O.U. When the debt was paid in full, the handwriting was invalidated by piercing it with something sharp like a nail.
This "handwriting" was also used in the case of the crucifixion or punishment of a criminal. All the charges of which the person had been found guilty, were written on a piece of parchment, and nailed to the cross on which the person convicted of those crimes would be crucified. Everyone could then see why he was hanging there and what he had done to deserve such a cruel punishment.This written indictment/charge/accusation are seen in John 19:19-20: accusations that were hung on the cross, on which the Lord Jesus Christ hung:
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
The "accusing witness," so to speak, against the sinner, the record book of his sins, the certificate of debt, or book of debt, was removed/nailed. The Lord Jesus Christ has "erased" it, removed it out of the court, out of the witness chair of the accuser. Not only is this record of our sins removed, but it is also "nailed to the cross" in the sense that the Lord Jesus Christ took our sins upon himself, and paid the penalty for them...Survey 2 Cor. 5:21 KJV.
When we talk about "nailing it to his cross", that is not the law itself, but the curse of the law, or the penalties for disobeying the Law. It was the penalty of the broken law which He rendered inoperative, not the law itself.
In that time period when a man was charged with a crime the charges against him were written down on papyrus. If he was found not guilty the papyrus was then washed down with water, removing or blotting out those charges against him, to confirm his acquittal. This abolished the written charges against the man. This is the what is referred to in "blotting out of ordinances against us" that were nailed to the Stake, not the Law itself.
The law is still God's standard of righteousness and all the requirements for the broken law remain unchanged, apart from Him.
Again-the penalty which a lawbreaker had to pay--it does not signify the laws that are to be obeyed--only the penalty.
The certificate of debt was wiped away and nailed to the cross.
Moreover, pardoning someone for committing a capital crime, doesn’t do away with the law that was broken. If anything, it shows that the law carries force, for without the pardon, the criminal would die!
In the same way, the law of God carries force since breaking it (committing sin) requires the death penalty. The law is that powerful, that important. It is holy. People aren’t saved from that which was against them (the death penalty) by doing away with the law. What saves people from death is the death of the Lord Jesus Christ in the place of those who trust 1 Cor. 15:1-4 KJV.
In fact, the wording Paul employed Colossians 2:13-14 showed that the law of God continues to carry great force. By saying the penalty demanded under the law of God was nailed to the instrument that killed the Lord Jesus Christ, Paul was showing that the law of God was still in force, still requiring death for sin.
By contrast, if the law had been brought to an abrupt end by the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, from that point on, nothing would be “against the law”-duh! Nothing could be called “sin.” Of course, we know that is not true. Sin exists, which means the law that calls it “sin” also exists!
The Lord Jesus Christ nailed to the cross what was contrary to him...
Ephesians 2:15 KJV "the law of commandments contained in ordinances;"
Colossians 2:14 KJV "the handwriting of ordinances"
Hebrews 7:16 KJV "the law of a carnal commandment"
Hebrews 9:10 KJV "carnal ordinances;"
What the Lord Jesus Christ abolished was carnal/fleshly commandments and ordinances, and hand written ordinances=that is the context..= the decrees of exclusion established by men, which were rooted in enmity between Jew & Gentile,such as “touch not, taste not, handle not”(survey Colossians 2:21 KJV), man-made social class/caste system set in place by Oral Torah, and Jewish leaders, attempting to keep a social and religious difference between Jews and Gentiles. Ordinances/decrees were laws that were man-made. Paul was referring to man-made orders, in this verse through the term “ordinance”. These “ordinances” were, yes, indeed hostile/”hate”/”enmity”, as they restrained anyone other than “Jews” worshiping God. These ordinances made a clear separation between Jew and Gentile, by elevating one above the other, to an “elite status,” to the extent where gentiles were looked down upon, scorned, and disassociated, by Jews everywhere………..
And I already picked apart your 2 Corinthians 3:13 satanic interpretation, at length, and you had nothing to say, as your daddy devil told you to hush.

Once again, Pate has no scripture, having deleted most of it, and refuses to answer, on gag orders from the devil:
Dealt with what, viper? Sins?
As you've been asked, by me, others, over 100 times: Sin is the transgression of the law, as you've been shown, from the bible. You assert that the law was destroyed, made void, 2000+ years ago. So, tell all of TOL, how you, anyone, can be charged with sins, having a sin debt, for sins in the future, by definition, if there is no law to be broken, that would mark the transgression, sin.
Go ahead, Pate.
Tell us how Christ can die for your/anyone's sins, paying the penalty for them, "justice served," by dying on your/our place, if no sin debt is "created."
Go ahead.
Answer, Pate: How can Christ die for your/our sins,IN THE FUTURE, if, according to you, the law that defines sin, transgression, was eliminated, destroyed, made void, 2000+ years ago?
Answer. Pate: How can sin still exist for unbelievers,now, if the law that defines sin, transgression, was eliminated, destroyed, made void, 2000+ years ago? No law, no transgression, demon.
Saved ones don't believe your satanic perversion of "the Gospel," satanic trash, from the pits of hell, as you assert that it is not that we are in Christ, perfect, because we believe Christ died for our sins, our sin debt, taking our judgment/condemnation, SO THAT JUSTICE IS SERVED, taking our place, but it is your satanic perversion, that He died to destroy, make void, His own law, so that there is no sin debt, for which He might die, and no need to take our place, as a curse, being judged, condemned in our place, as there is no law to condemn, to judge, and create a sin debt, charge against us.
No, there is a forever existing, holy, good, spiritual law God, deceiver, that judges/condemns each one of us; the reason we are saved, deceiver, the reason we are in Christ, "perfect,"is because we trust 1 Cor. 15:1-4 KJV, that Christ died for our sins, paying the sin debt, penalty, in our place, and suffering the judgment/condemnation/curse of HIS OWN EXISTING LAW, IN OUR PLACE=justice, the tenant of the doctrine of the substitutionary atonement. You deny that, satanically asserting that the solution is to make void, destroy the law, so that there is no sin debt incurred, for which He might die, and that no condemnation/judgment is possible, with no law to judge/condemn.
Demon.
Again-you reject that Christ died for our sins-the devil child never cites that, the gospel of Christ, in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 KJV-never. And why is that? He cannot, as sin is the transgression of the law, and if there is no law, to define sin, there is no sin/sin debt/transgression, for which Christ might die.
This is what you believe, liar:
Pate asserts that Christ did not die for his/anyone's sins, 2000+ years ago, as they were all in the future, by definition, as He did not die to pay for his/anyone's sin debt, penalty, IOU, which IS INCURRED BY BREAKING GOD'S OWN EXISTING LAW, by definition, as there is no law defining the transgression/offense/sin, and resulting penalty, for which He might die, and Christ did not take his/anyone's place, in judgment, condemnation, AS HIS/OUR SUBSTITUTE, taking that judgment/condemnation/wrath, in our place, as there is no law, to bring about judgment, condemnation, wrath. He denies that Christ died for our sins, and denies the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, asserting that God's "solution" is to destroy the law, so that there is no sin debt incurred, or judgment/condemnation possible. Thus, the LORD God could have destroyed His own law, from the third heaven, not needing to send His Christ to die. And devil child Pate cannot give us one scripture, as to how the Lord Jesus Christ's destroying of the law affects justice, as Pate perverts God's justice, as no scripture testifies to how destroying the law maintains, affirms the justice of God-he made it up. The scripture does testify as to why the Saviour need die, by blood, in our place.........propitiation, reconciliation, identification, substitution.....Justice served.
Pate rejects all of that, in his wicked perverting the gospel of Christ, as a pawn, shill of the devil.

Go ahead.
Answer, Pate: How can Christ die for your/our sins,IN THE FUTURE, if, according to you, the law that defines sin, transgression, was eliminated, destroyed, made void, 2000+ years ago?
Answer. Pate: How can sin still exist for unbelievers,now, if the law that defines sin, transgression, was eliminated, destroyed, made void, 2000+ years ago? No law, no transgression, demon.
No, you argue Christ did not die for our sins, and that we are complete in Christ, because He destroyed his own law.
Saved ones don't believe your satanic perversion of "the Gospel," satanic trash, from the pits of hell, as you assert that it is not that we are in Christ, perfect, because we believe Christ died for our sins, our sin debt, taking our judgment/condemnation, SO THAT JUSTICE IS SERVED, taking our place, but it is your satanic perversion, that He died to destroy, make void, His own law, so that there is no sin debt, for which He might die, and no need to take our place, as a curse, being judged, condemned in our place, as there is no law to condemn, to judge, and create a sin debt, charge against us.

Thank you Robert,
So many have told me.
But I listened to Jesus, and I considered that He isn't such an bad guy
that He would tell us to do something that no one can do.
Even if we can't do them all well yet, the Lord knows how hard we are trying.
Doesn't He?
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them,
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:19

I can of Mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and My judgment is just;
because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which has sent Me.

But I guess, once you have forsaken the law, then you can't look at it, for fear of the curse.
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
A blessing,
if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
And a curse,
if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God,
but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day,
to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
Deuteronomy 11:26-28
We can't do the commandments without Jesus.
If you had said, on can not keep the commandments without Jesus help, I would have agreed.
But because Jesus comes, and helps,
it is possible for us to fulfil the whole of the law.
But not if you listen to the naysayers.
And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake:
but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10:22
And he that overcomes, and keeps My works unto the end,
to him will I give power over the nations:

Clarify... what in the world are you talking about?
Maybe I am, but I think
If you think you can walk into heaven with your back turned against God's words,
you are deceiving yourself.
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you,
as it is written.
For circumcision verily profits, if thou keep the law:
but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law,
shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee,
who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Romans 2:14-27
What St Paul is saying there is, even someone who isn't born again can fulfil the law,
and if they do, they shall be rewarded the same as them who were born again and fulfilled the law.
But if a born again forsakes the law, he will be made unborn again.
That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it,
as it spued out the nations that were before you.
...
Ye shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them:
that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

That brought to mind:
2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
The purpose of the law and the commandments is to bring you to Christ, Galatians 3:24, 25. Not to save you or justify you, Romans 3:20.
Once you are born again by the word of God, (which is the Gospel) 1 Peter 1:23, you cannot be unborn, Ephesians 1:13. Once sealed, always sealed.
There are many on this Forum that are perfect examples of 2 Corinthians 3:14. They are as spiritually as dead as a rock.
Satan comes in many forms.
Some are like sheep, many are plain vicious wolves in this site.

That's funny coming from someone that claims to judge the salvation of others.
Yes. And when I came before Jesus, then He did to me what He does.
Had I not turned my heart to do all the commandments,
I would not have come to stand before Him.
I can't believe that. I have watched many fall away.
And I believe, believing that is what allowed many to let their diligence slip.
I also observed how quickly the foreskins on my own heart tended to grow back.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 14:12-13
Only be thou strong and very courageous,
that thou may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses My servant commanded thee:
turn not from it to the right hand or to the left,
that thou may prosper whithersoever thou go.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou may observe to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.

When the vail is taken away, then they will keep the law.
Then shall they delight in the Lord our God.
And did all drink the same spiritual drink:
for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:4
(And they shall delight less in condemning the brethren.
)Forgive them and bless them, for they know not what they do.
And they provide opportunities to teach commandments
and to show what Lord Jesus said.
Ye have heard that it has been said,
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek,
turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:38-39
