The Ten Commandments are the Covenant, did you know?

[Ronald Nolette]

When Jesus said, “I did not come to destroy the Law or the Prophets but to fulfill,” He did not mean that the Law and the Prophets were ended or made useless. He meant that He came to complete them, to bring out their full meaning, and to show what they were truly pointing toward.

That is what you say. Jesus said differently. Learn what fulfill means in the original.

Jesus did not throw away the Law or replace it. He brought it to life! He taught it with mercy, love, and truth. He corrected those like the Pharisees who followed the rules but missed the purpose behind them. He taught that we are to follow God’s commands not with cold obedience, but with a heart full of compassion and love.

No He did not throw them away. He fulfilled their requirements

As Paul said:

Romans 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Romans 4:15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Galatians 3:

King James Version

​

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

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.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

The Law was the basis for what has become operative.


The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.


Proverbs 4:7

In the OT but as Paul said in Gal 3:

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

7 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

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.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

The Law has been fulfilled and rendered in operative now that faith is come. this is wisdom.

Jesus said the law would never pass, do you agree with this?

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Jesus said the law would never pass, do you agree with this?

He said ti would not pass until all be fulfilled. He did say that His words would last forfever.

So i fyou believe Jesus said the law is eternal then based on the writings of Paul, you call Paul a liar.

Matthew 5:17-18

17Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

this means clearly the law is not abolished!!

18For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth shall pass away, not even one iota, nor one stroke of a letter, shall pass away from the law, until everything should happen.

"until heaven and earth shall pass away," they are still present both of them
"Until everything should happen" this has not happened yet

so the law remains until then, still VALID!

When Jesus says that not even the smallest part of the law will pass away, He’s affirming that the law’s moral and spiritual authority is eternal and will be in place until all things are completed. He doesn't mean that we are bound to every single Old Testament law in a legalistic sense, but that the principles of the law, The moral law ( commonly refered as the ten commandments) —the principles of justice, mercy, and love—remains intact. They are never invalidated and that Christ Himself fulfills it perfectly, showing its ultimate purpose.

 

[GeneZ]

Without the Law we could not begin to understand the Atonement on the Cross.

No more symbolism = lamb sacrifices.

Fulfilled = the Cross of Jesus Christ.

He FULFILLED what the law could only teach about, but could never have fulfilled in itself!

 

[shepherdsword]

In context, that passage is talking about changing the law for the making of priests - that they must be Levites, etc.

The idea is that the new priesthood is after the order of Melchizedek, and not Levi.

The scripture clearly teaches that the law is a singular mandate with many pieces.

Jas 2:10-11 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, (changed at the sermon on the mount)said also, Do not kill. (also changed at the sermon on the mount) Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

If a change was made in the priesthood there must also be a change in the mandate. We can see the changes in the sermon on the mount where Jesus says "You have heard it said BUT I say unto you..."

Mt 5:21-22 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.


Mt 5:27-28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

We can also see changes here at the Lord's supper:

Jn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

and again here:

Mt 26:27-28
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

As we can see, there were many changes to the law that were not isolated to a change from the Levitical priesthood. In fact, the levitical priesthood will always be with us in some form. This is a clear reference to the millennial kingdom (eat your heart out Amils)

Jer 33:15-18 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness. For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

We can also see Paul going into the temple to keep a vow, which always requires animal sacrifice:

Ac 21:23-24 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their headsNazirite vow) and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.


We can clearly see that the throne of David and the Levitical order are closely entangled and you can't eliminate one without the other.
We can also clearly see that the Lord Jesus changed the law at the sermon on the mount and sealed the testament with His own blood.
