Nehemiah 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
Case in point of this kind of reading in the Book, etc....
"As touching the law, a Pharisee" Philippians 3:5 "in the Jews religion" Galatians 1:13.
Acts 21:18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 21:19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21:25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Psalms 119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
It appears Robert, that your above (supposedly made up) definitions are merely what Scripture itself leads one to arrive at.

Proverbs 27:17.
Of course, since you are a man pleaser, not following the satanic assertions of "Pate-anity," not following any, much less reading, of his "arguments," in his duplicate, spam threads, you would not know, that He, on record, rejects the gospel of Christ. Go ahead and challenge me on it, and defend this devil child, man pleaser, and I will pick you apart, as I/others, have picked apart Pate's doctrine of demons.
