Greetings to all! Today I want to share with you a topic of extreme importance. I want to make it clear that this has not been for my own motivation. I have felt from God the Father the imperative need to share this information, the result of my study of the Scriptures.
The original article has been written in Spanish. For the English version I have made use of the Google translator, so it may contain some errors. I apologize for it.

I am sorry to say that I have no intention to debate. I leave the information available to everyone, waiting for them to analyze it under prayer and may God help them reach the correct conclusions on this matter.
I hope Jehovah will continue to care and bless you all.
Receive warm greetings from Spain!

Your premise is that Christians are under the Law of Moses. You say that religious groups like the WT teach that the law has been annulled. However, that is not what the Watchtower teaches. The Watchtower teaches that Christ fulfilled the law by nailing it ot he torture stake. You even quoted the passage where Jesus said, “Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill."

Are you going to argue that the non-Jewish converts to Christianity have to obey the Law of Moses? The Judaizers in the first century tried to compel non-Jewish Christians to do that very thing. They were wrong. Paul resisted them ferociously. It was such a contentious issue that the apostles convened and made a decision, and the holy spirit somehow verified it was the right decision. "For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things: to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper."

I think it is a good thing that you do not want to debate. It would be a huge waste of time.
 
I agree with you Robert, I don't believe we're under the Law Covenant anymore, but could you please explain what Jesus meant at:

Matthew 5:17-19 "Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill. Truly I say to you that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or one stroke of a letter to pass away from the Law until all things take place. Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these least commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in relation to the Kingdom of the heavens. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in relation to the Kingdom of the heavens."

Like so many other verses/topics, it can be confusing.

I would guess that Jesus meant the Law was still in place until his death.

I have to say that I find your site so straightforward. I always have done. The absence of any talk of “having to read something” or suggestions that it has a “message” that we must obey is a blessing in itself - although it’s true that we should read and should understand the message - of course. But it goes without saying to one searching.

The difference is heart condition. No one feels compelled by another’s enthusiasm. It’s the joy of finding the pearl for one’s self and the love of learning rather than teaching without first understanding. I thank you daily for being straight forward - plus the wit with sarcasm of course. Churchillian repartee!
 
" So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law. "
( Galatians 5 : 1 ) NLT
" I do not treat the Grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. "
( Galatians 2 : 21 ) NLT
