You've made that assertion several times now. Even after the fact that i point back to Mat 5:19 that tells us to obey every command in the law no matter how small. Which again includes the commands for attonement. (Here's the key you seem to be missing) Then in verse 20 Christ tells us our righteousness must exceed that of the pharrisees. The Pharrisees followed the law to the letter otherwise they would be expelled from the priesthood. So right their we know that following the law does not have to mean one is sincere about it. How do we know this? Because of all the rebukes Christ made concerning the Pharrisees 'following the law to the letter but disregaurding the spirit of the law.' Which is also why He says what he says in verse 20 about one having to exceed the righteousness of the pharrisees to enter Heaven. To the OT Jew of the day, one could not phathom how to exceed the righteousness of the Pharrisees as they could afford to live by every aspect of the law.. Which is also why Christ extended the law to include what is in one's heart. (because they lived by the law on the outside but their sincerity was not with the spirit of the law.)

You think "following the law doesn't mean you're sincere about it". Of course it doesn't. You can follow the law to the letter and not be sincere about atonement.

That has never been my argument, which is, if you refuse to follow the law, if you don't feel as if you don't have to avoid sin, you obviously can't be sincere about atoning for your sins. That's what you're doing, buddy.

Quote:Again, I have biblically demonstrated that sincereity has nothing to do with following the law. Sincereity has to do with admitting one is a sinner with no hope of ever earning righteousness by the law and earnestly repenting and seeking attonement through Jesus.

You're not sincere in your admission that you're a sinner if you think you don't have to live by the rules of sin. Why is that such a hard concept for you to... oh, wait, you have skin in this game. Right.

Of course, when we have you saying that "true Christians" live according to "canon", when you dismiss the heartfelt beliefs and desire for salvation that any serious Christian holds because they don't hold to the laws you actually do bother to recognize, you are the Pharissee, living by the letter of the Bible and ignoring what it is actually telling you to do. Why you think you have righteousness beyond anything baffles me. You're exactly the sort of false prophet who is really a vicious wolf, coming here, purporting to have "biblical answers", but your strong desire to lead people away from Jesus' words kind of makes you look like Satan's mouthpiece.
