So why did Paul preach from it?
He didn't preach from it. He quoted some scriptures from it. Paul did not preach the law or religion.
He preached salvation by grace through faith apart from the works of the law,
So why did Paul preach from it?
The scripture says that the law has been abolished, "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS" Ephesians 2:15. Why is it you can't believe the scripture?
Christians are no longer under the law, nor are they subject to it. We are now under grace, Romans 6:14. To be under the law is to be under condemnation.
Yes it is.
Paul explained that the Law is not needed anymore since Jesus FULFILLED the Law. His sacrifice replaced and eliminated the need for all the animal sacrifices that were necessary under the Law.
"But now he [Jesus] has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises." (Hebrews 8:6, NASB)
Then "fulfill" is meaningless. What else could it mean other than to make it obsolete?
"When He said, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first one OBSOLETE. Whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews 8:13, NASB)
While you're at it, read Hebrews 10:1-10.

That is not your only argument:I guess that I will have to tell you again.
CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW.
The reason that they are not under the law is because God sees them as perfect and complete "IN CHRIST".
For the Christian the law has been abolished, Ephesians 2:15.
Paul said that the law is for sinners, 1 Timothy 1:9, 10. The law has not been abolished for the unsaved, they will be judged by it.
You need to read the opening post more carefully.
He preached salvation by grace through faith apart from the works of the law,
I guess that I will have to tell you again. CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW.
That is not your only argument:
Vs.
"There is only one law, Moses law. It was abolished when Jesus died on the cross, Matthew 27:51.....Not only was the law abolished, so was the Old Covenant and the Jewish religion.....The Old Covenant, the law and the Jewish religion have been abolished."-you, this thread
The above is made up, satanic.
Did righteous Abel keep the law? Or was he saved by grace?
Not only did Jesus abolish the law, he also abolished sin, death and the devil.
Not made up, but supported by scripture, Ephesians 2:15, Colossians 2:14, 2 Corinthians 3:13.
Where is your scripture that says... "The just shall live by the law" There isn't a scripture that says that.
Paul wrote to the Hebrews that the law was decaying and passing away, Hebrews 8:13.
Not only did Jesus abolish the law, he also abolished sin, death and the devil.
What a stupid comment, people still die, people still sin and the devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
As far as God is concerned Jesus has victoriously defeated sin death and the devil, Colossians 2:15 and now sits at the right hand of God as "The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords" Revelation 19:16 Also Hebrews 1:3. Jesus has victoriously reconciled the whole world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:19.
Can you believe?
"Not only did Jesus abolish the law,"-Pate
Vs. post cross:
Galatians 3:24-25 KJV
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Pate: Jesus abolished the law, but it was resurrected after the cross, leading Paul, others, the lost to Christ.
You are either demonic, or stupid-which is it Pate?
Can you believe Jesus has victoriously defeated sin death and the devil for himself and now he is working to do the same in those the Father has given to him. We are a work in progress.
