Deut 28:1-14says there is blessing for keeping all of His commandments and Deut 28:15-63says there is a long list of curses if you don't keep all of His commandments.But we are not under law, we are under grace. Our covenant is not a covenant of righteousness, blessing and life by works.Our new covenant is a covenant of righteousness, blessing and life by faith.Paul made that clear in numerous places. Here's one:Gal 5:1You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2 This is the only thing I want to find out from you:

Excellent summation Brad. To answer your question,no, there is no blessing that comes from keeping the law. Anyone who attempts to live under the law is cursed,not blessed, because they cannot keep every one of them.The law was a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ,a schoolmaster no longer needed “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

Don't u guys understand that G-d, our Creator, our Savior wrote the Torah/Law/Instructions that His people would be Holy/Set apart from the world living by different standards of life? Deut 4:8; what are the nation is so great as to have such Righteous Decrees & Laws as this Body of Laws I Am setting before u this day 😗. Do u guys tithe? Why? That's in the Law, Instructions in Lev. Deut 29:9; therefore keep all the Words of this Covenant and do them that you shall prosper in ALL that you doPs 1:1-3.... & There r just so many others, y'all want to prosper? keep His Torah Ps 122:6

& ur absolutely right brad, Deut 28does have a long list of curses for not keeping his Commandments. So who is right, you or G-d I've heard multiple preachers preach for prosperity and blessings they always used Deuteronomy 28:1-14and they stop there. The blessings come when you keep His Commandments, & if u don't....Num 23:19; He's not a man that He should lie? Ps 89:34; My Covenant I will not break, nor alter the thing that comes out of My lips.Brad you cannot use New Testament verses to describe the Old Testament, that's like reading a book backwards read a book from finish to start do you? And you'll never be able to understand the the New Covenant until you understand the first Covenan Ps 122:6

The real issue is not me reading backwards. It's you not reading the book foward. There is no longer any Deut 28curse.

The real issue is not me reading backwards. It's you not reading the book foward. There is no longer any Deut 28curse.

Very good. Then in 1 John 3:23he explains what those commandments are.1 John 3:21Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from Him,

The real issue is not me reading backwards. It's you not reading the book foward. There is no longer any Deut 28curse.

Deut 30:19; I call Heaven and Earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you Life and death, Blessings and cursings.... A Blessing if we keep His Instructions, Laws, Torah & a curse if we do not, sins. I'll use one of brad's favorites in Gal 3:13; Messiah has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us, for it is written curse it is everyone that hangs on a tree. Why was he hung on a tree (Deut 21:22) it was our sins, our lawlessness. He wasn't hung on a tree for Torah, He was hung on the tree for mankind breaking His Torah, the curse of sin Ps 122:6

Do you not believe what Paul wrote? He was a Jew. He loved the Jews. He was perfect in terms of obeying the law. Why do you resist what God gave Paul, yet cling to what God gave Moses?I submit that you feel a need to belong...and what better group of people to belong to than Jews, right--God's chosen people...who killed the prophets...who wanted Jesus dead...who were given wonderful promises, etc.They are just as messed up as ANY PEOPLE. God gives them wonderful things...and like the rest of mankind, they blew it time after time. But in your need to belong, you take on the weirdness of Judaism. Like thinking that God is somehow pleased or respected if you drop the o when you write G-d. Or that God is more pleased if we use only Hebrew words when speaking of spiritual things.
