What I'm saying is that the word "keep" is much more than simply obeying and observing; it is also treasuring and protecting. And it is in this aspect that it is not impossible to keep the law.

Do you keep the law?

I keep it in the sense I treasure it and protect it. As for obeying it, that's another matter.

Ok you keep the law because you treasure and protect the law, but you dont obey it...

So what good is your treasuring and protecting the law doing for you?

It seems like just a play on words... And the thing is, it seems like law based salvation.... That is why I'm speaking out about it... Now maybe you it can be interpreted in any which way...

Though, why arent we teaching about Jesus instead?

You're a sinner. im a sinner. we are all sinners. and the law is suppose to convict us of our sin.

Like i wonder when you say "i treasure and protect the law", you are really just judging me for my sins... lol (a hypothetical)...

Maybe it means, to judge people for their sins... Because that is what the law is good for...

I've created a thread to debate this:

Should Christians keep the law?
