Does a person who fails to keep one law fails on all the laws he kept? ~ Cross reference of Galatians 3:10 to Deuteronomy 27:26


Paul changes the passage to say that if a person slips on one of the 613 laws has failed on all the 612 laws. He says thus the person is under the curse of the law. This is not true. G-d does not expect a person to be perfect in all the laws at all times. As humans we slip every now and them. Each time we fall, we need to repent, get up learn from it and get stronger in keeping G-d's laws.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.

G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

[Chabad] Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he who does not uphold the words of this Torah, to fulfill them. And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'

[NIV] Deuteronomy 27:26 “Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
  • Paul here changes the word "uphold" to "continue to do everything", by doing this he tries to say that if a person fails in one law he fails in all the laws.
  • This is a blatant lie as no human can achieve to keep all the laws all the time. Why would a good G-d give the laws we cannot keep and then punish us for not keeping the Law. On the contrary G-d says he will bless us if we keep the Law.
  • The word uphold means to "confirm", "support", "maintain". What this passage is saying is not to deny to keep the Torah. This does not mean that if one fails in one law has failed all laws.
  • Christians claims, Jesus kept the law perfectly and he is the fulfillment of the law. This is just a claim of the Greek text. To claim this Jesus should have sinned once  in his entire life. If you read the four gospels, you will see that he disobeyed the law several times.
  • This makes me wonder... if Jesus was fully god and fully human, why brag about he keeping the law, surely a god can keep the law he gave right? Anyway, that is a topic for another day.
  • G-d calls Moses righteous - He murdered an Egyptian
  • G-d called David righteous - He murdered Uriah
  • G-d called Hezekiah, Josiah righteous - I am sure they did fall at times in keeping the law.
  • Tanakh testifies that we humans cannot be perfect in keeping all the laws all the time.
    • Ecclesiastes 7:20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

Is the law not based on Faith? ~ Cross reference of Galatians 3:12 to Leviticus 18:5

Image
Paul makes a very wrong statement that the law is not based on faith. I believe his view is that anyone who keeps the law expects that G-d will bless them even if they don't believe, love, fear G-d.  This is a lie. There are several passages in Tanakh that talk about the blessings that G-d will give those who love him and keep his commands. The teaching of Tanakh is very consistent that one needs to have faith in G-d and show that faith my living to the standards of G-d's laws. All Images are links to Google Images.
