Objection: The Curse of the Law Was Not Curses (Plural) – It Was Simply that No One Could Keep the Whole Law

The objector takes issue with the idea that we are redeemed from everything contained in “the curse of the Law” (including sickness, poverty and mental torment).  So he tries to redefine the curse in his own terms – not being able to keep the whole Law.

But this objection falls apart at once when you consider that the very verse the objector has in mind (Galatians 3:13) tells us that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having been made a curse for us.  If Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, and the curse of the Law was inability to keep the whole Law, then Christ redeemed us from inability to keep the whole Law, which means that we can now keep the entire Law of Moses today.  I don’t think that we can accept that interpretation, especially because Gentiles were never commanded to keep the Law of Moses in the first place, so what good would that do?  We can’t be justified by keeping the whole Law anyway; we have a much better means of justification by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
