Featured What is the Law for Us

in the ot...then ten commandments were expanded in Deut.
All ten were expounded on.
Why I said it is not a simple answer is that we are under the 10...under Jesus...
sermon on the mount
teachings in the gospels
Direct revelation in revelation and Hebrews
the word given to the Apostles
The words of the OT. prophets
wisdom books
some ot laws are still valid.

Do we sacrifice animals, no.
Jesus is the final sacrifice.
Feast days? No....fulfilled in Jesus.
Cities of refuge? No, that was for that ot. theocracy, and also fulfilled in Jesus if you consider the law as the manslayer.
Are we in a Theocracy? I say yes.

 

The Old Covenant was the Ten Commandments. (proof if needed).

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, That I will make a new covenant With the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; Which my covenant they brake, Although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, And write it in their hearts; And will be their God, And they shall be my people.” Jeremiah 31:31–33 (KJV 1900)

Laws to observe?

“But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.” Acts 15:20 (KJV 1900)

This is not OT Law. If so, it would require returning to the entire Old Covenant. It is NT law that pre-dates the OT. Genesis 9:4 shows abstinence from blood commanded by God to Noah.

Joshua 24:2 shows the idol worship of Abraham's ancestors.

So the point is that since similarities exist in the Old Covenant, they do not place us back under the OT.

“As they went through the towns, they passed on the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the Gentile believers to obey.” (Acts 16:4)

The Sermon on the Mount is the Christian application of the Law. We give instead of simply not stealing. We love instead of simply not murdering enemies. Instead of not coveting we resist the lust associated with it and seek to bless instead.

 

Here's proof the Ten Commandments were the sum of the Old Covenant.


Ten Commandments were the Old Covenant

“And He (God) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.” Exodus 34:28

“And He declared unto you His covenant, which He commanded you to perform, even the Ten Commandments.” Deuteronomy 4:13:

“When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.” Deuteronomy 9:9:

“So I turned and came down from the mount . . . and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.” Deuteronomy 9:15:

“There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt,” I Kings 8:9

“And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.” I Kings 8:21

The second of these two texts is repeated in II Chronicles 6:11.

Consider “The ark of the covenant” that held the Ten Commandments (Numbers 10:33; Jeremiah 3:16, and other places)

Also; “It contained the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered entirely with gold. In this ark were the golden urn containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.” (Hebrews 9:4) (NET)

 

Heb4:9..
.
We agree for the most part

 

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Can ( I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts ) be done without, ( we shall all be changed ) first taking place?


we shall all be changed - Is that when we enter his rest? Is that the sabbath rest that remains for the people of God?

 

8 1/2 of them are, anyway.

 

God abolished physical Israel leaving only believers in Christ. This happened when he abolished circumcision. It is what made one a physical Jew (religion) and a physical member of Israel. Biblical Israel since then is the Church.

 

Which 1.5 vanished?

This is the Law of Moses, although some commadments are still uses as: Love your neighbor as yourself, Passover and The attonement etc.. But this is only for the New Spiritual Israel, the New Nation of Jesus, since the Literal Israel was cursed and the kingdomo of God was taken away from them,,Jesus Made a New Spiritual Israel = Titus 2:13-13 = Ephesians 2:15 + 2 Cor. 5:17-21 = Acts 2:38-40 = Ephesians 5:24-27....His Holy ETERNAL MORAL LAW =(The Covenant of Love between the Literal Israel and Jesus is still ON..= Hebrews 4:9 Therefore "STILL REMAINS" A Sabbath-Day for the New People of the God of Aberaham =The Spiritual Israel, the Spiritual Jews a.k.a Christians, His Christs, His Saints, His Church.....Have a happy Sabbarth-Rest as the God of Abraham and His People is having today....Brother James....A Church or a person withouth the Holy Sabbath-Day, is like a Christ without the cross=A False Christ, of no help for salvation.....

 

...

Hello...The peace of Jesus, The "Jewish" Christ who is the Holy Spirit, The Eternal Father, Son of God and Son of man, the God of Abraham and the Living God in His human nature be with you....YOU SAY:<<But the Law of Christ goes farther. It is about the heart. I will not murder because I will not hate, I will not commit adultery because I will not lust after another...etc.<< This are the 10 Commandments...The Covenant "OF LOVE" Between the Literal Israel and the God of Abraham=The Holy Spirit namely Jesus, and Now it is for the New Spiritual Israel the New Nation of Jesus = Titus 2:13-15 since the literal Israel was "CURSED"..The Gentiles don't have to OBEY IT only The people of the God of Abraham =The Spiritual Jews a.k.a Cristians, but?!! Also the Saving Grace is for the Spiritual Jews = Rev.. 22:21 for the "REMNANT">..Have a Happy, Holy Sabbath-Day as the God of Abraham=(Jesus) is having today and His New People the Spiritual Jews, His Christs, His Saints, His Church...Brother James...All who reject "HIS HOLY..."ETERNAL LAW" are "CURSED" and The Creator and Giver of this Law = Jesus, says in Matthew 25:41 That all who are "CURSED" will spend eternal life in hell.....

 

"Why I said it is not a simple answer" is because your Lordship Salvation dogma demands it.

It IS simple:

8 Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law. Ro 13

 

None vanished. But the New Testament makes it plain that regarding one day above another(s) is something we make up our own minds about [Romans 14:5-6], and we are to let no one judge us about this [Colossians 2:16]. What I just said here is bound to be the trigger to start the conflict the original poster intended.

And in regard to the second commandment, it is not repeated in the NT to "not make ANY likeness of ANYthing." That would rule out photography, engineering drawing, computer icons, among other things. But we are commanded to not worship idols, and this is expounded to mean "the good things of this world." [money, property,...].

 

One sentence:

12 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets. Mt 7

 

Since Peter's sermon in Acts 2...Jesus is Lord and Christ.
This has not changed.
People in Ky.who are saved know Him as Lord and Christ.
