So as a whole is Judaism compatible with, or even part of Christianity? Christ did not think so.

Matthew 9:16-17 But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results. Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; But they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Christ is not only saying that Judaism and Christianity are not compatible, but also that Judaism can ruin Christianity.

So what did Christ say about the Mosaic Law.

Well there was a time that the Pharisees came testing Christ, and one of them, a lawyer tested Him saying, Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? And Christ replied, YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the prophets. Matthew 22:36-40

Matthew 5:17-20 Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

And a snippet for those of us that love the ECF’s
Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians
Let us not, therefore, be insensible to His kindness. For were He to reward us according to our works, we should cease to be. Therefore, having become His disciples, let us learn to live according to the principles of Christianity. For whosoever is called by any other name besides this, is not of God. Lay aside, therefore, the evil, the old, the sour leaven, and be changed into the new leaven, which is Jesus Christ. Be salted in Him, lest any one among you should be corrupted, since by your savour you shall be convicted. It is absurd to profess Christ Jesus, and to Judaize. For Christianity did not embrace Judaism, but Judaism Christianity, that so every tongue which believes might be gathered together to God

The Mosaic Law is eternal to the point of all things being accomplished. It is the Law of the Covenant between God and Israel. Most of the Jews are still in that Covenant and under that Law…but that Law is not in the New Covenant, not part of Christianity.

See Matthew 5:17-20...Jesus makes it a part of the New Covenant law here.

Christians are not under the Law and there is a school of thought that those that observe the Law and abide in it, no longer abide in the New Covenant. That also means the spirit of the Law, the spirit of the Law is worst of all. The spirit of the Law is against the character of Christianity, against the character of Christ.

See Romans 7:6.

Do we sell our daughters into slavery? Do we have multiple wives and concubines? Do we kill all that breaths and save the virgins for ourselves. That is part of the Mosaic Law and the Mosaic Law cannot be changed or subdivided.

Can you please provide chapter and verse for these statements about the law. Thank you.

14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace

And is not sin the transgression of the law? (1 John 3:4) So then, if sin shall not have dominion over me, I shall not be in slavery to the violation of God's law.

Rom 13:9, For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:10, Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Polygamy and concubinage...the whole Old Testament. Most prominent figures in the Old Testament that were not prophets had multiple wives and God Himself told David that he had his wives because of Him. And there are Mosaic Laws that govern certain aspects of polygamous relationships.

No doubt that Christ was the fulfillment of the Law, but the teaching of Christ surpasses in wisdom and morality any word in the Mosaic Law. Like you do not know this.......

Grailhunter sez >> "The Mosaic Law is eternal to the point of all things being accomplished. It is the Law of the Covenant between God and Israel. Most of the Jews are still in that Covenant and under that Law."

While the Mosaic law was fulfilled at the crucifixion, when Christ said It is finished, no such concept applies to the Old Covenant. When God gave it to Abraham and his seed forever, it is unconditional. It is forever!

Paul in his mention of the New Covenant, says the Old Covenant is becoming obsolete, but yet not obsolete. By saying it is becoming 'obsolete', the Bible never says that the Old Covenant will become abrogated or terminated. When given to Abraham, God's promise was that would be for him and his seed forever. The fact that it is becoming obsolete, doesn't mean that it no longer works. Just like my Old Car in the laneway. Although it is obsolete, it still works. It's just that I prefer my New Car, a new and better car.

When Paul said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. Hebrews 8:6–13

Meanwhile God has provided Israel with a guarantee: "and so ALL Israel will be saved; just as it is written, THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.
THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."…Romans 11:26

“In the Lord ALL the offspring of Israel Will be justified and will glory.” Isaiah 45:25

Everything is humming along, just as God planned.

The status of women as sexual property as well as the status of women in the Old Testament.
The "Ten Commandments" as one small case in point. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male slave, his female slave, his ox, his donkey or anything which belongs to your neighbor” (Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21). Because the Ten Commandments are so well known, it’s quite easy to miss the assumptions in them about gender. But the marginalization of women is clear. The wife is classified as her husband’s property, and so she’s listed with the slaves and work-animals. There’s also a striking omission in this commandment: never does it say “You shall not covet your neighbor’s husband.” The Ten Commandments were written to men, not women. There’s even more evidence, linguistic in nature. Hebrew has four distinct forms of the word “you” and these are gender and number specific. The form of “you” in every single commandment is masculine singular. The text assumes its readers are men. True, mothers are mentioned in the Decalogue as deserving of honor, but even here the Hebrew grammar assumes a male readership: the Hebrew verb for “honor” is masculine singular (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16). The Ten Commandments embody much that is foundational for modern society, but egalitarian they aren’t. Still keeping mind that the Ten Commandments (as some have dubbed them) are a summary of Laws and the full explanation appear in the scriptures denoting the actual Mosaic Laws. For a look at the commandments that God called the Ten Commandments and told Moses to write them on the Tablets of the Testimony see Exodus 34:11-29

The most important relation of woman in early society was that of wife. It is evident from the Genesis-stories that more than one woman in the home was dignified with the name. When there is a difference in status, the inferior wife is known as concubine. Jacob married sisters, equal in rank in Jacob's tent. The inferiority of the concubines lay in the fact that a bride-price was paid by Jacob for Leah and Rachel (Gen. 31 15) while Zilpah and Bilhah were slaves otherwise acquired (Gen. 29: 24, 29). The first place might be accorded her who had borne the first son. This was the cause of the insubordination of Hagar to the chief wife Sarah (Gen. 16:4), Hagar being the slave of Sarah, presented by Sarah herself, to the head of the household. Such was the custom of the childless wife, the son of the slave being adopted as her own

For men it was of the most significance accomplishments in life, to sire sons to continue the bloodline. So it was regarded as the highest blessing to have many children. So as with wives, which often gave their maids to their husbands if they were barren. The children of the concubine often had equal rights with those of the wife; for example, King Abimelech was the son of Gideon and his concubine. Later biblical figures such as Gideon, and Solomon had concubines in addition to many childbearing wives. For example, the Books of Kings say that Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

You have taken these things out of context if you are saying that they are a part of God's moral law.

God told the Israelites to do these things not as an inclusion of what He calls righteous.

Afraid I have to ask you for chapter and verse again, concerning God telling David his many wives were because of Him. As well as laws governing polygamous relationships.

There was a change of law over the change of priesthood (Hebrews 7:12).

However, in that change of law, the OT, moral law was not abolished (except in that it no longer condemns us)...see Matthew 5:17-20.

Today, the extent of what we are to obey is what is found in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) and the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:20-49) and/or regarding the moral virtues exemplified in such verses as Galatians 5:22-23 and/or disregarding certain moral vices defined in such verses as Galatians 5:19-21.

We have a new heart and a new spirit dwelling within us; and the Lord causes us to walk in His statutes and judgments; not through seeking to obey a set of do's and don'ts; but in walking according to the Spirit rather than the flesh.

When we walk according to the Spirit rather than the flesh, there is nothing in God's OT, moral law that will be violated by us (Galatians 5:22-23).

Therefore, the OT law is still valid as a plumbline that tells us whether we are being obedient or else sinning against Him. By the law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20); and sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).

You shouldn't be trying to do that; as you might in doing so be attempting to bring the word of the Lord into disrepute: and He is going to judge you for that.

Because it is clear in Matthew 5:17-20 that not one jot or tittle shall by no means pass from the law until after heaven and earth have passed away.

The Truth will set you free. Judaizers get on their soap boxes and thump their Bibles like they know it and proclaim they follow the Mosaic Law or that it is anything moral by Christian standards. When they really no little of the Mosaic Law. You could not follow them today if you wanted to. If you tried you would either end up in jail or an insane asylum.

And the Jot is not going anywhere it just for the Jews.

Injury to a man’s wife was rated as damage to property, compensation for which was accepted by the male in authority over her (Exod. 21:22; Deut. 22:19). Acquired through the payment of a mohar- or bride-price, the legal valuation of a woman was 50 shekels (about $20), 20 shekels more than the valuation of a slave, about one-half that of a man

If a women delivered a female instead of a male the sacrifice required was doubled.

The price of having sex with or raping a female slave. Leviticus 19:20-22

The sacrifice and purity period of a woman that had a female baby instead of the male baby. Leviticus 12:1-7

These things may be abhorrent to us today because we feel that we have "evolved from the barbarism" of those days in history.

But in this, we are making our own moral compass more righteous than God in our own thinking patterns.

On the contrary, the scripture states:

Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8, The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psa 19:9, The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
Psa 19:10, More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Psa 19:11, Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Psa 19:12, Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
Psa 19:13, Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Psa 19:14, Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

There are reasons for the OT laws about slavery; as slavery is a picture of something important in the NT.

But be careful lest the following be found true of you:

Jde 1:14, And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
Jde 1:15, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Exodus 21:7-11 Law regarding selling your daughter in to slavery, which if you look it up it includes concubine.
concubine; a woman who, lives and has sex with a man she is not married to, and has the status of a slave.

Number 31:17-18 Deuteronomy 20:13-17 Deuteronomy 21:10-11 Kill all that breathes including the male children and babies. Kill all the females that are not virgins, but keep the virgins for yourself. The rest is yours.

Deuteronomy 22:21 If a woman does not bleed on her wedding night....stone her and leave her at her father door.

So, do you believe that God's moral law is reflective of God's moral nature and character?

I believe that the Mosaic Law is not required to be followed by Christians. What God thinks of them, you will have to ask Him.
My point is that there is no up side to bringing them into Christianity, by letter or by spirit. The morales that Christ taught are so much more wise so much more morale that they can hardly be compared.

But we can go through the 613 Laws one by one and see how many you think Christians should follow, or even think they are good. The Mosaic Law would poison Christianity. We do not follow them and they cannot condemn us...not under the Law.
