The Scripture cleary says there..."therefore let no man disturb you..." So that would include you, me, or any pagan person who might try to trouble or disturb us, who are reconciled by God, through and by the atoning sacrifice of Messiah...about which laws we are to keep or not keep, under the New and better Covenant...
And who said anything about not keeping the laws that apply under the New and better Covenant? Not me....Do some really think that normal spiritually born of God people would think that is the way they should live unto God? Hope not.
The Apostle Paul has a context there, in which he is dealing with this issue. It's best to look at that context and also see the whole picture regarding what was taking place at the time he lived and preached to his generation. This was written to people alive back then, who were dealing with that issue...and it can apply to us today, if there is a situation that's the same.
Here is a reality check....Rungold, which laws are you breaking and having to seek God's forgivness for on a weekly basis? If not murder or robbery?...And based upon what exactly does God forgive you of those law breaking sins...your efforts?
No need to answer here, just something to ponder.
