Yes, I know the Bible contains the word of God. However, your thesis is that transgressing the Law is sin. Now what is the Law (which you also state has not been changed)? The Law is the 1st 5 books of the Bible, which contians the sacrificial requirements to atone for sin. Now, if you do not offer sacrifices as prescribed by the Law you are transgressing the Law.
I have read Hebrews but apparently you have not or you would have noticed that according to Hebrews with a change in priesthood the Law of necessity also changes. So once again you are picking and choosing what to believe based on an archaic translation and your own personal opinions and interpretations.
As to the Passover, you brought up the Law and I picked a couple Laws that are no longer valid since the sacrificial requirements of the Law are fulfilled in and by Christ and were changed by God in a vision to Peter and by the Council of Jerusalem.
The party of the circumcision is the Jews. Because a Jew was not supposed to eat with Gentiles according to their traditions.
Now you are showing your ignorance of the Law and the context of Acts 15 and Galatians. According to the Law a stranger was to be treated as a native. Have you even bothered to read the Torah?
As to 1 John 3:4, I quoted that whole section of Scripture in a modern translation. Did you take the time to read it or are you one of those King James only people? You are quoting from the KJV, right?
1 John 3:1-12
3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; 12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous. NAS
Now here is the full section in the KJV:
1 John 3:1-12
3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. KJV
As far as you are concerned any person who disagrees with your private interpretation is not taught by God, which again is the sign of a cult member.
I will repeat, if you take 1 John 3:4 to be transgressing the Torah is sin and you do not keep the whole Law then according to James:
James 2:8-13
8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
KJV
You see Endurance one can come to know and be known by Jesus and never even read or understand the OT Law because as God stated He will make a New Covenant and write His Law in our hearts, which the Holy Spirit then uses to convict us of sin and what James calls the
royal law. Or have you decided to ignore what Paul also wrote in Romans concerning those who knew the Law. Paul did not teach gentiles the Law, Paul taught gentiles we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. But you are hung up on the Law just as the Judaisers were hung up on the Law and all the traditions developed by men over centuries of ignoring the spirit of the Law.
