Thank you for the in-depth answer. I often find that when posed with a question concerning ones faith and belief many, even devoted believers, cannot adequately explain why they believe what they believe. For the most part I do understand where you are coming from, however I am not sure that I quite understand your stance on Paul instructing to keep the righteous requirements of the law (Romans 2:26). Jesus spoke that in loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself the entire law hangs (Matthew 22:36-40). Paul himself instructed numerous times that we are now under grace and no longer slaves to the law (Romans 5-8). Would you please explain your understanding of this a bit further. Nevertheless, I am glad that you and I share the same revelation that Peter shared in that we understand Jesus to be the Christ and that He is our Savior (Matthew 16:16). I pray for you, and hope that all is well with you.
