    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    Indeed, I abstain from eating unclean animals and from wearing cloths mixed with wool and linen. The New Covenant was only made with the house of Judah and the house of Israel (Jeremiah 31:33), so it is only through becoming joined to Israel through faith in Christ and the Gospel of the Kingdom...

    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    Indeed, in 1 Timothy 4:1-5, Paul said described what he was speaking against as being the doctrine of demons, which should be a major clue that he was not speaking against obeying the commands of God. I have not been suggesting that we should be under the Mosaic Covenant, but rather I have been...

    To the Married men..

    I would never spend time alone with a woman who is not my wife and vice versa for my wife, so if your neighbor wants to come over when your husband is not around, then tell them to come back later. It is good to provide food for them, but you do not need to be their only source of food and they...

    Blotting Out the Handwriting of Ordinances . . .

    The way to follow God forwards is not by refusing to follow what He has commanded, but rather that is backwards.

    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    Is it your position that the commandments of God are the doctrines of demons? If so, then that is blasphemy against God. If not, then why are you interpreting what Paul said about the doctrine of demons as though he were speaking about the commands of God? Look, where there is a will there is...

    Blotting Out the Handwriting of Ordinances . . .

    There is no "but" in the Greek in John 1:17, rather John 1:16 says grace upon grace, so it is speaking about one example of grace being added upon another. In Psalms 119:29, he wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Mosaic Law, and. in Psalms 119:142, the Mosaic Law is...

    Blotting Out the Handwriting of Ordinances . . .

    In Psalms 119:142, the Mosaic Law is truth, so the way to stay with the Truth is not by holding the position that the Truth has been canceled. According to Deuteronomy 27-28, relying on the Mosaic Law is the way to be blessed while not relying on it is the way to be cursed, so Galatians 3:10...

    The Gospel and the Spirit of Anti-Christ.

    In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of...

    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    God is sovereign, so we are all under His law and are obligated to refrain from doing what it reveals to be sin. In Romans 6:14, it describes the law that we are not under as being the law where sin had dominion over us, which does not describe the Law of God, but rather it is the law of sin...

    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    Even if that we true, it wouldn't change the fact that follower of God should follow what God has commanded in accordance with the example that Christ set for us to follow.

    The Gospel and the Spirit of Anti-Christ.

    That doesn't change the fact that the New. Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, but rather it is in accordance with it. The Spirit has the role of leading us in truth (John 16:13), the Spirit has the role of leading us to obey the Mosaic Law...

    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    The Kingdom was not only for Jews, but the Jew first, then the Gentile, which is why the Jesus sent his disciples to the Jews first, the prophesied that the Gospel of the Kingdom would be proclaimed to all nations (Matthew 24:12-14) and he commissioned his disciples to bring the Gospel of the...

    The Gospel and the Spirit of Anti-Christ.

    In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, so if you want nothing to do with obeying it, then you then you want nothing to do with the New Covenant. I don’t see how you can think that when NT because it contains 1,050...

    Gods Commandments and the 613 mitzvot (commandments of Moses)

    (continued) The Bible repeatedly says things like all of God's righteous laws are eternal and these are statutes forever throughout your generations, so there no hint in the OT that these would no longer be in effect at some point. While it is true that there is now therefore now...

    Gods Commandments and the 613 mitzvot (commandments of Moses)

    That is making an unjustified assumption that the Law of Moses is not Go's general law for mankind, implied from the beginning when of made man in His own image after His likeness. I don't see any motivation that God would have for giving laws to Israel that did not teach how to be in the image...

    What Old Covenant Laws are the New Covenant believer to obey?

    It should not make sense to you to interpret the Bible as speaking against obeying what God has commanded. In Matthew 4:15-23, Christ began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light tot he Gentiles, and the Mosaic Law was how his...

    The Gospel and the Spirit of Anti-Christ.

    There are translations that say that, for example: Romans 10:4 (CEB) Christ is the goal of the Law, which leads to righteousness for all who have faith in God. Can you acknowledge that the Greek word "telos" can mean either "end" or goal" and that "end" can mean "intention" or "aim" instead of...

    Gods Commandments and the 613 mitzvot (commandments of Moses)

    All of God's commands have the same moral authority regardless of whether God wrote them down or told Moses to write them down.

    Gods Commandments and the 613 mitzvot (commandments of Moses)

    It is also true that human conscience can align with truth and morality, but it also can not, which is why Paul said in 1 Corinthians 4:3 that he was not justified even though he was not aware of anything against himself. So our conscience helps us to live in accordance with the Law of God, but...

    Gods Commandments and the 613 mitzvot (commandments of Moses)

    God’s nature is eternal, so the way to act in accordance with or contrary to His nature is therefore also eternal, which is God’s law, while sin is what is contrary to God’s nature, which is why sin is defined as the transgression of God’s law (1 John 3:4). For example, God’s righteousness is...
