You are confusing.
You sin but you don't continue in sin? You have fender benders but don't continue to crash your car? Bro, is the insurance company more righteous? To be able to acknowledge those who have good driving records? No, you just keep the good record running, and don't get into accidents but IF you crash you have an advocate with the Father. You believe instead of if, its WHEN. Big difference.
Bro, they all kept the law as long as the temple stood. In
Acts 21:21, Paul was accused of not keeping the Law. That he was teaching among the Diaspora that they shouldn't circumcise their children or obey the Torah. In
Acts 21:22 James then asks Paul what should they do if the Judeans get together to inquire of Paul's methods among the Diaspora. James in
Acts 21:23 tells Paul to take four men who have completed their Nazarite vow. To bring them all to the temple, join them in the baptism ceremony, paying for them to have their heads ritually shaved. James then says in
Acts 21:23 for Paul to do this so everyone will know that the rumors were all false and that Paul observed the Laws of the Temple. Paul also states in
Philippians 3:6 that within the righteousness found in the Law he was without blame. in
Acts 25:8 Paul states, "I haven't broken any Judean law or done anything against the Temple or the Caesar." Paul says he was not only a good law keeper, but a good Freeborn Roman. Hebrews was written to those who would enter into the covenant with the Messiah. They were admonished that there choice was one of importance, which they needed to count the cost. Not some yardstick pat on the head by some Gnostic. But the everlasting Gospel which saves to the uttermost.
