Judaism is the Old Covenant, not the New.
I believe the Law of Moses is God's Law. This is according to the old covenant.
Jesus fully affirmed it and the Word of God is inspired. I also believe 100% Moses' Law is God's Law.
Salvation is by grace through faith and not of works.
This is the part you are currently denying. You claim not to deny it, then you doublespeak.
Remember when Obama said we would not be mandated healthcare and that separated him from Hillary?
That's the same thing as you saying you don't believe we are saved by Law but we MUST obey and keep God's commands.
Do you obey any of God's commands?
Jesus is my Torah-keeper and I cannot attain sinless perfection which the Law demands. Whatever grace and life Jesus works through me will produce love for God and man. Outward obedience to Torah will not produce one right inner attitude.
Do you know the Law shows you as guilty before God?
Yea...
...once one knows that, one will never run back to the Law again, it only condemns.
What commands of God do you obey or do you believe you or all Christians should obey?
Whatever grace and life Jesus works through me will produce love for God and man. Outward obedience to Torah will not produce one right inner attitude.
Jesus is my Savior, not the Law of Torah which condemns me to hell for breaking one infraction (James 1).
Is it possible to be saved but not be obedient to God at all?
One must have faith in Jesus as Savior, not faith in one's obedience to God's commands. Those soteriological systems are diametrically opposed (works vs grace).
Salvation is not by obedience. But those who are saved are obedient to God.
I don't think your current theological framework clearly differentiates these points. You are mixing Law and Grace and I fear for your salvation and question your regeneration.
