The Advent Truth
He says the law isn’t for Gentiles… then turns around and still calls sin “sin.” That’s the contradiction.

Because here’s the truth: if the law is gone, sin is undefined. The Bible says “sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). So if you remove the law, you don’t create freedom—you create moral chaos. Yet even he won’t go that far. Why? Because deep down, everyone knows certain things are still wrong—lying, stealing, adultery. But where do those definitions come from?

Paul answers that clearly in Romans.

In Romans 7, Paul doesn’t say the law is irrelevant—he uses the Ten Commandments to DEFINE sin: “I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.” That’s the 10th commandment. Paul is literally pointing to the Decalogue as the standard that reveals sin—even for him, a believer after the cross.

Then in Romans 13, Paul doubles down. He lists commandments like “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” “Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shalt not steal,” and says they are “summed up” in this saying: love your neighbor. In other words, the law isn’t abolished—it’s explained. Love is not a replacement for the law; love is the fulfilling of it.

So you can’t say, “I’m not under the law,” and then still condemn things the law defines as sin. That’s not biblical freedom—that’s inconsistency.

And yes, we are not under the law for justification. It cannot save us. But that doesn’t mean it has no place. The same Paul who said we’re not under the law also said, “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law” (Romans 3:31).

The law was never just for Jews—it reflects God’s character. And God’s character isn’t divided by ethnicity.

Grace doesn’t erase the standard. It empowers obedience to it.

If we’re going to use Romans, let’s use all of it—not just the verses that sound convenient.
