8.10. Paul’s problem is not with obligating Christians to the Law under its NC application and empowerment but rather obligating Christians to the Law under its OC application and empowerment

(In re: to application: 1. Justification = Rom 3:20-28 w/Jer 31:33; Rom 10:4 w/13:8-10; Gal 2:11-16, 5:1-4 w/13-14; Act 15:5-10; 1Co 7:19 w/Lev 10:10-11– Bipartite distinction, 2. Capital Penalty = 1Co 5:1-13 // In re: In re: to empowerment: Rom 7:8-18 – “not the ability to carry it out” = BAD TRANSLATION. BETTER TRANSLATION: “no empowerment…” Under the OC there was ability to fulfill, but no empowerment – see Deu 30:11. This changed under the NC in fulfillment of OT prophecy – see Rom 8:1-4 w/Eze 36:25-27)

8.11. God does not extend forgiveness/mercy/grace in relation to people who do not practice the Law.

(Deu 27:26 w/29:18-20; Hos 6:6 w/8:12-13; Amo 2:4 w/5:21-24 w/Isa 1:11-19 w/1Sa 15:22 w/Pro 21:3; 2Co 6:1, 14; Heb 10:26-30, 12:14-15).

8.12. The NT makes it clear that faith alone is enough to justify but not enough to save.

(Rom 2:6-26; Jam 2:14-26; 2Pe 1:5-11).
