This is a video response to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPkVeW0cTx4
Youtube user, ObeyTheGospelOrDie (Dwayne Sweatman), has been adamant to try and deliberately trip me up in my words, all week, for the sole purpose of making more videos against me.
Lately, his vicious attempts have yet to have proven successful.
I decided to throw in a few comments that he aimed at me, aswell as some very good answers to them for you to answer him back.
So far he hasnt responded to my last comment.
Regards,

/// What school did I come from..? That one statement proves to me you are a man of law not grace ///
Not it doesnt, it means that I "can't understand what you are typing" or "what you are trying to say"!
/// you are self righteous ///
On the contrary - YOU are the self righteous one, because you deny the perfect record of righteous works that Christ procured on our behalf as the ONLY ground of salvation.
You teach that we are saved by OUR good works, not HIS.

/// God gave His righteousness apart from law. But now the righteousness of God is revealed apart from law. Rom3:21 ///
ROMANS 3:21 is talking about the "human STRIVING of trying to keep the Law".
Also, "The righteousness of God" is also "The righteousness THAT IS GIVEN BY God [as a gift]" - the perfect record of good works that was procured by Christ and His perfect "Obedience", as ROMANS 5:19 says.

/// Christ came to show God's excelling Nature. ///
Yes - by "obeying/fulfilling" the Law - procuring a perfect record of good works, that are imputed to our account and save us.
/// Christ did not come to say law of God is complete revelation .So His redeemed can have its righteousness? ///
Christ came as a man, born under the Law - why?, to FULFILL it, and perfectly obey it in full, on behalf of all who are "in Him" - aka, the elect.

/// Christ exceeds law in Virtue and Attribute. ///
Yes but its not His ATTRIBUTE of righteousness that saves us.... ROMANS 5:19 says that its His righteous OBEDIENCE that saves us.
I believe the Scriptures.

/// depraved man could not fulfill law ///
Thats correct - only the PERFECT man (Jesus Christ) could fulfill and obey the Law in full - and its HIS perfect fulfilling/obedience that saves us - not our "striving" to keep as much of it as we can - for "we can do nothing of ourselves".
/// and law was not God's Nature or righteousness ///
The Law is a PROJECTION of God's perfection/righteousness.
And God says "He that doeth all the Law shall be saved"

/// He will judge the world in righteousnes by the Man whom He has ordained Acts 17:31 not by law. ///
Yes - Christ will be the Judge - and the standard is God's Law, because the Law is a projection of the righteousness of God.
Thats why God says "He that DOETH ALL THAT THE LAW SAYS is righteous"
And the "doing" required is a PERFECT doing, not a "striving" to do.

/// God has given the righteousness of His Person which is not the law or any law ///
No God did not imputed His personal ATTRIBUTE of holiness/perfection to us, but rather what ROMANS 5:19 says.... Christ's earthly OBEDIENCE - His passive and active obedience.
Why do you think Christ said "I have not come to abolish, but TO FULFILL THE LAW"???

@polopowers1
/// You think God gave a righteousness by law ///
What does ROMANS 5:19 say?....
"By one man's OBEDIENCE, the many will be constituted righteous"???
Obedience to what? - THE LAW!
It is Christ's perfect "OBEDIENCE" that saves us - not OUR OWN obedience.
Clear?

@doctorh2005 What school did I come from..? That one statement proves to me you are a man of law not grace, you are self righteous and unteachable.To dis agree is fine but to challenge me personally is childish. I'm glad I have the righteousness of God apart from law And I clearly see you have it

/// The law is not God ///
The Law is a PROJECTION of God's righteousness and holiness - it is a MIRROR, showing God's righteous standard.
/// The law came by Moses but grace and truth by Jesus Christ they are not the same. ///
God in His "grace", GAVE us the Law, so that we should realise that we CANNOT attain to that perfection" required by God.
"By the Law is the knowledge of sin" (ROMANS 3:20).
The Law is the SCHOOLMASTER to lead us to Christ (GAL.3:24)
