I thought that I would start a new thread since we kinda got off track on the instrumental music in worship thread. this was the whole defense from the bible for staying under the the Law of Moses Acts 13:38-39
Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."There are many that teach that when Christ came and went to the cross at Calvary, and shed His blood for us that the law was done away with. Jesus Christ Himself declares here that this is just not so. Jesus declared here that; "think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets", Christ's purpose for coming to earth, was to complete every last prophecy that came out of the Prophets of old. That included the law, for the law was given for guidance for man, and it is as current today as it was three thousand years ago.Did you get that.If not you are not following his word. Unless you can prove every prophesy in the Word including his second coming is fulfilled the Law is in effect. God knew that man could not keep the law, and that is why He made the provision for man. When man broke the law, and the barrier came between God and man, and certain rites, ordinances, and rituals [sacrifices] were established by God to bring man back to God.These sacrifices were of the blood of sheep, goats and doves, and were a covering, [called atonement] that satisfied the Lord God for one year. The only permanent sacrifice that could atone for mans sin, was a spotless sacrifice, sinless, and the only one that could do that was God's only Son, Jesus Christ. This was known long before the setting forth of the planets. God's plan was even written in the constellations of the heavens. The moment our Lord Jesus Christ died on that cross, the veil in the Temple was parted. Matthew 27:50, 51; "Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. [50] And, behold, the veil of the Temple was rent in twain form the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;" [51] My friend, this took place when every last rite, ordinance and sacrificial ritual that required a blood sacrifice of animals, (or part of those blood sacrifices) was done away with, for Jesus Christ's death on the cross fulfilled them all. Not the Law the rites, ordinances, ritualsHowever, those laws that deal with the governing of our everyday lives, were and are still on the books, and they are what God expects the true man and woman of God to follow. Those laws and commandments should be common knowledge to all mankind, for they are what all civilized law and government is based upon. The ten commandments, as Jesus will discuss later in this chapter, are just acting out plain common sense, and when anyone tells you that you don't have to follow the law because it is dead, and then you violate them, then you will deserve what ever punishment is given for it's violation.
here is how the bible describes the law of moses.Law of sin Rom. 7:5-6Law of the flesh Rom. 7:5-6Yoke of bondage Gal. 5:1Law of death II Cor. 3:7Powerless to save Heb. 9:9, 10:4Made to change Heb. 7:12, Gal. 3:25Faulty Heb. 8:7Weak Heb. 7:18Unprofitable Heb. 7:18 No salvation Heb. 10:2-4Perfected nothing Heb. 7:19No mercy Heb. 10:28An old way Heb. 8:13Carnal ministry Heb. 9:9-10Ministration of condemnation II Cor. 3:9Brings bondage Gal. 4:24-25Cannot justify Gal. 2:16Brings a curse Gal. 3:10Cannot give life Gal. 3:21Done away II Cor. 3:7-14Abolished II Cor. 3:13Ministry of death II Cor. 3:7For Israel only Dt. 4:7-8, 5:3either all of these verses are wrong and the bible is not telling the truth, or the intrepretation of the verses quoted from another thread are wrong.also, yes, 9 of the ten commandments are still in effect, why? you might ask because Christ repeated all of them in the new testament except one, keeping the sabbath. The Fact is that the bible teaches that the old covenant (mosaic covenant) has been fulfilled, to say otherwise would be to say that Christ failed in fulfilling the old covenant (mosaic covenant) which was his mission.also, could you clarify what part of the law you believe to be "still in effect".I say all of these things with all of the love in my heart!
