The works of the law no one has to do anymore are the PURIFICATION WORKS.
The Bible says NOT OF WORKS.
There's no clarifier on that phrase that would indicate anything other than works, period.
There's no clarifier on that phrase that would indicate that it's only talking about specific works.
Paul was circumcised too.
Yes, according to the law. But he says to no longer circumcise.
Jesus was full of grace and came with grace, and that was spoken about in the "gospels", but you belittle it.
Jesus said nothing about grace. He never even uttered the word until Paul.
Why can't you comprehend that?
Paul has more writings than anyone
Paul wrote 13 epistles. There are 27 books in the New Testament.
That means that he wrote LESS THAN HALF of the New Testament.
so no doubt he mentioned grace so much more,
Except that He wrote less than 50% of the New Testament, yet has FAR MORE than half of the number of words, out of 128 times (yes, I counted) that the word "grace" is used, 91 of those are from Paul.
That means, that the ratio of 13:14 of the number of Paul's epistles verses other books in the New Testament does NOT match the 91:37 ratio (nearly three times as many) of the number of times Paul mentioned grace verses the other authors mentioning grace.
Which means that RD is right. Paul wrote about grace FAR MORE than other authors, statistically speaking, more than they did, and there's a reason for that, it's not just coincidence.
Would you like a comparison of the words recorded by Paul versus other authors like "law," "commandment," "command," etc.?
AND, you would think you would understand it since he spoke of it so much, but you don't.
We do. You don't, clearly.
