I haven't watched the video, as I'm not interested in your GODLESS, UNBIBLICAL theology. You make a stupid and FALSE statement like " the apostles mostly rejected him" (referring to Paul), yet you offer NO SCRIPTURAL BASIS for it. My Bible says, and I demonstrate WITH THE BIBLE on the video you just watched, THAT THEY ACCEPTED HIM AND CALLED HIM THEIR "BELOVED PAUL. That makes you both an imbecile, who CAN'T READ, AND A LIAR.
Christ also said anyone who breaks the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be least in the kingdom of heaven. When asked by a certain young rich man how to obtain eternal life, he told him keep the commandments. He also stated that not one jot nor one tittle of the law would pass away until heaven and earth passed away. He never abolished the law as a matter of fact he strenghtened several laws by defining them ie. killing and adultery.
He said not one jot or tittle of the law would PASS AWAY UNTIL IT WAS FULFILLED. In the previous verse (Matthew 5:17) He said HE (Jesus) CAME TO FULFILL IT. Since He HAS FULFILLED IT, IT HAS PASSED AWAY as far as believers are concerned.
We DON'T teach that ANYONE should deliberately BREAK ANY commandments. We merely teach that we don't live UNDER them. And He DIDN'T say those who BROKE them WOULDN'T enter the Kingdom, He said they'd enter, but be called least.
Suggest you learn the Bible -- not just the parts that "fit" your PET DOCTRINE -- before you have the audacity to engage someone who DOES KNOW IT. Jesus said to ONE person to "keep the commandments" in order to "inherit eternal life" BEFORE HE WENT TO THE CROSS AND PAID FOR MAN'S SIN. He wanted the young man's HEART, He knew he HAD NOT kept them, yet trusted in commandment keeping. This is clearly shown when He replies "why do you call me "good". There's NO ONE good BUT God".
@Excel2017 EXCELLENT POINT BROTHER!!! VERY EXCELLENT POINT BECOZ A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS VERSE INCLUDING MYSELF AND I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED HOW TO INTERPRET IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WHOLE BIBLE AND YOU JUST POINTED IT OUT RIGHT HERE!! GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
The application of self discipline, motivated by our understanding of Scriptural promises (good or bad) results, at best, in failure and at worst, in self righteousness. NO ONE, but Jesus, HAS EVER kept the law. NO ONE, but Jesus, ever will.
I'm not an apologist for Christianism, which was invented by men. The word for "repent" throughout the NEW Testament is metanoia which means to CHANGE ONE'S MIND (change the way one THINKS). That's what Peter told the supposed "torah observant" Jews in Jerusalem to do: "REPENT (change your way of THINKING) and BE CONVERTED" (Acts 3:19). They were THINKING WRONGLY about Jesus, WHO He is, and WHAT He did. They needed to CHANGE THEIR THINKING, so He could CHANGE THEIR HEARTS and SAVE THEM.
Sin, according to the NEW Testament is "WHATSOEVER is NOT of faith" (Romans 14:23). The Greek word for faith is "pistis" which means TO TRUST. Sin is NOT TRUSTING Jesus COMPLETELY and what He did.
I have never said the law "had no value". I have said IT'S BEEN FULFILLED by Messiah Himself (Matthew 5:17).
Jesus taught and practiced the Law, PRIOR to Calvary. AFTER Calvary, God's Law has been forever satisfied BY GOD HIMSELF. Hence, we DON'T LIVE UNDER IT. 2 Corinthians 5:21 ALL those who TRUST WHAT GOD (Jesus) did, are credited with HIS righteousness, HIS PERFECT keeping of HIS OWN law.

Ok then, quick questions.
When christians say to "repent" what are they repenting of?
If sin is NOT violating the covenant given at Sinai what is it?
Why does Jesus teach and live the law if it is to be of no value?
