Why God is No Respecter of Persons

Paul quoted both law and Gospel because there were many in Paul's congregation that were unsaved and needed to hear the law.
Robert, if you are the perfect man of God,
then sure, you don't need the law.

But we are sinners, and fallible, (you said so yourself) so need the law.
Even saved people can still commit sin, can't they?

"Knowing this, that the law is not made for the righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient" 1 Timothy 1:9.
Unlike you, I had to know the law, to know if I was obeying it.

And when you know it, well, then you come to love it,
for His law is a delight. Is it not.

The reason that the righteous man does not need the law is because he is led by the Holy Spirit.
You better try that spirit that leads you,
if he leads you away from God's words and law.

I cast out every spirit that came to me claiming to be the Christ,
that would not teach me God's commandments.

The law is what brings people to Christ, Galatians 3:24.
Agreed, but you want me to believe it was abolished. Ended.

Why?
So nobody is brought to Christ anymore?

I am aware of the law every day. The more that I look at the law the more thankful that I am not under it or subject to it. To be under the law or subject to it is to be under God's wrath, Romans 4:15.
 
I am aware of the law every day.
Yes. Every day you are here to write your ordinances in regards to it.
Presumably, your sayings is the law written in your heart.
Or the word spoken in your ear by your Holy Spirit.

Be aware of Him, and obey His voice,
provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for My name is in Him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey His voice, and do all that I speak;
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Exodus 23:21-22

The more that I look at the law the more thankful that I am not under it or subject to it.
The more people that offer up the word of scripture to you, for correction,
the more you hate God's words.

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:

Deuteronomy 11:26-27

To be under the law or subject to it is to be under God's wrath, Romans 4:15.
But to keep it is how to find grace in His sight,
but then we will be subject to wrathful fire from men.

Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law;
fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Isaiah 51:7

Isaiah 51:7
I hate to tell you, but you are following a doctrine and a religion that has been abolished, Jesus nailed the Old Covenant of law and religion to his cross, Colossians 2:14. Under the New Covenant God's people don't live by laws, rules or religion, they live by faith in Christ and his Gospel, Romans 1:17.

Don't lie, and don't do what you hate.

His disciples asked Him and said to Him,
Do you want us to fast? How should we pray? Should we give to charity? What diet should we observe?
Jesus said, Don't lie, and don't do what you hate, because all things are disclosed before heaven.
After all, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and there is nothing covered up that will remain undisclosed.

Thomas 6

Under the New Covenant God's people don't live by laws, rules or religion, they live by faith in Christ and his Gospel, Romans 1:17.
Under God's everlasting covenant, people do.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecclesiastes 12:13

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Galatians

Under the new covenant, which God's people made for themselves,
the wisdom and knowledge of God from olden times is simply disregarded.
No longer considered.

Even Paul's statement on the covenant is being disregarded
since he said the covenant shall be with the house of Israel
(not with the Gentiles, not with the New Covenant Christians)
and that God will write His laws in their heart and mind.

How does God write His laws in the heart and mind of a man
while that man is going about preaching it ended, and issuing hard speeches against it?

My son,
keep My words, and lay up My commandments with thee.
Keep My commandments, and live; and My law as the apple of thine eye.
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

Proverbs 7:1-3
