I recently had a conversation with a man who said he was oneness Pentecostal. He said that we are “not under the law” and challenged me to provide scripture that shows otherwise.
This is my response.
If Jesus brought us out from under the law (Torah), what is it that he brought us out from under?
Thou shalt not kill, steal, murder? Participate in any form of polytheism? Surely you aren’t suggesting I can commit adultery.
All of the above are THE LAW. So exactly where are we supposed to draw the line? Let Paul draw the line.
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Galatians 3:19
THE LAW was added because of transgressions. Transgressions of what?
Themselves:
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 32:8-10
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Yehovah had already given them the Ten Commandments. He called Moses up into the mountain to give him the physical plan for the construction of the Tabernacle and its operation.
The Tabernacle was to have daily and annual sacrifices which had nothing to do with offerings for various sins. Those offerings ( blood ) were added after Israel’s failure at Sinai.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews 9:13-14
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
And also this.
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Hebrews 10:4
All the sacrifices for sin were a temporary measure to deal with sin until Jesus offered himself for sin.
The Levitical law (blood for sin) and the remainder of the Torah are separate and can’t be treated as equal.
We no longer need to sacrifice innocent animals to atone for sin. We simply need to repent as believers.
This however does not do away with the law. It is still a sin to kill or to knowingly keep the wrong day as the Sabbath (the fourth commandment).
It’s still a sin to sleep with family members, animals, etc. It’s still a sin to break the dietary laws and consult with witches. The list goes on and on.
The burden Jesus brought us out from under was the burden of establishing our own righteousness (impossible) and offering sacrifice after sacrifice which never brought relief from the sense of guilt and shame.
Literally, a book could be written detailing this but if people would just look a little further into what THE BOOK actually says they would see the truth.
For generations, preachers have said, “We’re not under the law “. In a general sense, the statement is true but it is also inaccurate and misleading.
You’re oneness Pentecostal? That means at some point you or someone in your family rejected the trinity and embraced truth monotheism.
You’re oneness Pentecostal? That means at some point you or someone in your family accepted the idea that the God of the Old Testament was still doing the supernatural.
Friend we are rapidly approaching the end of the age and God is restoring His Church.
The Sabbath, the high Sabbaths, and the dietary laws do not violate any essential doctrine you hold.
If there is any honest thing in you then by the authority of the name of Jesus I command the opening of your eyes to the revelation of this truth.
If I have presented any error I willingly submit myself to the judgment of God.

We are no longer under the law of death for sin, because Jesus, the final sacrificial lamb, paid the final price for our sins. Plus, if you think obeying the law alone will save you, then you must fulfill the whole law, not failing in even one point. But we all have failed on more than one point of law.
Yes, Paul can be difficult to understand, as even John ( I think it was John) pointed out. But you must take the verse in context of the whole chapter, or better yet, the whole book. And finally, not only did Jesus die for our sins (All have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God), belief in him, along with the Holy Spirit, helps us to overcome sin in our own lives. Because you can try and try, through your own human effort, but you are not able to fulfill the law at every point. And if you are honest, at least with yourself, you know that this is true. You have sinned, just like the rest of us, and all of humanity, from Adam and Eve, until now.
May God lead you into all truth, and into the knowledge and belief in his son.

First my friend, I would advise you to READ the post before firing off a response. Your lack of knowledge shows but is made even more glaring in your obvious failure to even read what you are responding to.
I do pray that you actually read my response here because it provides the biblical education that you so desperately need.
Second, I must advise you that you are extremely ignorant of those things of which you are speaking.
I hope you don’t take my statement as an insult because it is not. Ignorance means uneducated and that is the case here and it happens to be the truth as I will demonstrate.
Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
When was the law added!, what law was added?, and what are the transgressions spoken of?
Exo 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. ( Please read the entire chapter )
Exo 32:7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Exo 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Exo 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Yehovah had already given Israel the ten commandments forty days earlier and they entered into a covenant with Yehovah by agreeing to keep them.
Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. ( Please read the entire chapter )
The transgressions were the breaking of the ten commandments which happen to contain the keeping of the Sabbath. The law that was added is almost the entire book of Leviticus, chiefly the offerings for sin involving animal sacrifices. The ten commandments and the Levitical law are not the same.
Jer 7:22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Jer 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Yehovah never wanted these sacrifices for sin but they became necessary in order to preserve the nation until Messiah should come. You are correct in one thing Jesus nullified the need for animal sacrifices for the temporary atonement of sin.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
We don’t kill, steal, lie, commit adultery ect. We keep the Sabbaths, weekly and annually (Leviticus 23:1-44) as commanded.
Jesus kept the Sabbath.
Jesus kept the feast days.
These feast days are prophetic. Lev 23:1-23 represent the death burial and resurrection of Jesus. Lev 23:24-44 represent the second coming.
Jesus did away with animal sacrifices, yes indeed he did.
He did not do away with the ten commandments.
Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Jas 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
If you are not keeping the Sabbaths you are a murderer, an adulterer, a thief. Please go study to show your self approved and stop listening to ignorant denominal preachers.
