Does our present Christian faith truly brings salvation?
“The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers,and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Mt.13:41-42)… this is a straightforward passage that says you reject the Torah and you go to hell.
“Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law” (Rm.3:31).
“For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified” (Rm.2:13).
Yes it does.
Romans 3 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
Everyone will remain a law breaker unless divorced from the law.
You really need to not pull verses from their contexts.
2 Cor 3
He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
New Covenant Ministry
7 Now if the ministry that brought death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the Israelites were not able to gaze steadily at Moses’s face because of its glory, which was set aside, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry that brought condemnation had glory, the ministry that brings righteousness overflows with even more glory. 10 In fact, what had been glorious is not glorious now by comparison because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was set aside was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious.
Hebrews 10
Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the reality itself of those things, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year. 2 Otherwise, wouldn’t they have stopped being offered, since the worshipers, purified once and for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, as he was coming into the world, he said:
You did not desire sacrifice and offering,
but you prepared a body for me.
6 You did not delight
in whole burnt offerings and sin offerings.
7 Then I said, “See—
it is written about me
in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, God.”[a]
8 After he says above, You did not desire or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings (which are offered according to the law), 9 he then says, See, I have come to do your will.[b] He takes away the first to establish the second. 10 By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.
11 Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. 12 But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.[c] 13 He is now waiting until his enemies are made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are sanctified. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. For after he says:
16 This is the covenant I will make with them
after those days,
the Lord says,
I will put my laws on their hearts
and write them on their minds,
17 andI will never again remember
their sins and their lawless acts.[d]
Romans 3 says we live by a law of faith and that this law of faith itself upholds the law’s requirement even though we no longer live as under the law.
Galatians 5 walk in the spirit and you will produce fruits of righteousness against such there is no law
Gal 3 no one will be justified by the law, but by faith
Yet another guy adding works to his salvation! Great rebuttals Adam Koenig!
