<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">In Jesus Words Only chapter five, we reviewed all the arguments pro and con whether Paul negated the Law. See this <a href="/recommendedreading/106-chapter-five-jwo.html">link</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, I saw today a good article that had a short section which synopsized Paul's negative views on the Law given Moses so succinctly that I wanted to post it here to share with everyone.

This is an excerpt from a page entitled <a href="http://www.problemswithapostlepaul.com/?page_id=23">History of Apostle Paul</a>&nbsp;(also hosted at this <a href="http://www.problemswithpaul.com/Apostle_Paul.html">page</a>&nbsp;in slightly better font text) which I present below, only removing items that do not bear directly on the issue about the Law</span>:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Today I stumbled on another good website presentation of Paul's views that support he did away with the Law:</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Paul clearly does not want us to follow the law as proved in Galatians 5:4, &ldquo;You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 60px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">&ldquo;Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.&rdquo; [Gal 3:23-25]</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 60px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">In this, Paul once again tries to prove to us that the law holds us prisoner. Paul would have you believe that &ldquo;everything is permissible.&rdquo; [1 Cor 10:23] If God&rsquo;s law holds us as prisoner, what does the laws of men hold us as? This is a philosophy that any law holds us prisoner, even if it be a single law. And who is more just to give us law &ndash; men or God?</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 60px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Also according to Paul, &ldquo;all who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: &lsquo;Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.&rsquo;&rdquo; [Gal 3:10] God can tell you exactly what should be done in Jeremiah Chapter 11, Verse 4, &ldquo;&hellip;I said, &lsquo;Obey me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.&rsquo;&rdquo;</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 60px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Ponder 1 John 5:3, &ldquo;This is love for God: to obey his commands. And His commands are not burdensome&hellip;&rdquo;</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span></p>
