I think that Jacob is an impostor. He is really a Jew.
The Law can be used lawfully. What do you think this means?

I do not wear tzit-tzit and I do not live in Israel. It is possible to obey God. I know I am to obey God's commands and I choose to do so.

I think that you overestimate your abilities in this regard. Most people do.
The law condemns because people do not obey well.
To attempt to be a "law keeper" is to walk in the flesh. Walking in the spirit is a different thing altogether.

Is it not prophetic that the commemoration of the giving of Torah is the day chosen for the Spirit to be given to us? Come on. Read the Bible.

Do Gentiles have a different God?
Do you understand Romans 8:1-4 NASB?
You cannot become a Christian (born again) by the flesh or be perfected by the flesh after having already become a Christian.
You can as an individual person choose to obey God. We do this by obeying God's commands.
Do you obey God's commands by the Spirit? Do you share God's commands with others?
We should all know to obey God's commands. Do you believe that you must have the Holy Spirit to do so? A person must repent to be a Christian. With the Spirit of God as a new creature in Christ (born again) obeying God's commands is easier. Obeying in the flesh is not true obedience and no one is saved by works. Salvation is by the grace of God through faith. See Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB.
We must obey Jesus.
Acts 5
32 “And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Hebrews 5
9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,
Is the Spirit given to those who obey Him (was given to those who obey Him) or are the only people who obey Him those who have the Holy Spirit?
Can you tell a non-believer to repent and obey God's commands? Can you explain what God's commands are and tell them to obey God?

So you disagree with Romans 7:7?
For the Christian, the law has been replaced by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is now our guide and our teacher.
Read further. The law caused Paul to want to sin, Romans 7:7-12.

Scripture? You make a lot of bold assertions with nothing to back it up.

It was the natural progression of things; not the desire of the Law. If the Law did not exist, there would be no sin because there was no standard.

It means it is used as a tutor to bring people to Christ. It convicts and proves you deserve to go to hell. Therefore, it is Holy and righteous.

The law did not cause Paul to sin. Paul was sinning all along but did not recognize it as sin until the law showed him he was sinning.

Yes, I do.
John 3 is highly misunderstood. Nobody becomes a member of the body of Christ by being "born again".
Which commands? What do you do when two commands contradict each other?
The ones that are currently applicable.
Do you obey Matthew 16:20?
You clearly do not understand who these were written to and why.
You poor confused boy.
What do you make of Paul when he says this?
Rom 5:19 (AKJV/PCE)
(5:19) For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Does he misunderstand the need to obey to obtain righteousness?
The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 NASB.
Do you mean the lake of fire that death and Hades are cast into? Those who are resurrected among the wicked experience the second death, the lake of fire.
Do you believe all people should obey God's commands or God's Law and the commands found therein?
I don't know why you are saying what you are saying here.
Romans 8:9 NASB - 9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
Without being born again you do not belong to Him and are therefore not in the body of Christ.
I don't believe God's commands contradict each other. I don't know if you do.
We are to obey God's commands. Christians know this. Unbelievers need to know this.
Jesus' words in Matthew 16:20 were likely because of potential danger at that time.
I don't know what you are saying about to whom these things were written. You are just saying I don't understand.
Jesus was obedient such that many (we who believe) would be made righteous.
Do you believe we need to obey God?
Romans 6:1-23 NASB - 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
you can't obey Jacob
You should never tell anyone they can't obey.

I am already in the Kingdom of God. Israel is the Kingdom of God. Let's read together Exodus 19:5,6 because I am almost sure, you won't check the quote. "If you obey Me faithfully and keep My Covenant, you shall be My treasure possession among all peoples. Indeed, all the earth is Mine but you shall be to Me a Kingdom of
priests and a Holy Nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Children of Israel."
