The Law came from God, Not Moses in fact, it was Moses who brought them to the People of God.Rom 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law, ) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
Is Paul talking to me? What law is Paul talking about?
The first thing Paul mentions as a law, is the one Moses gave them concerning divorce, because of the hardness of their hearts right?
And then Paul goes on to explain that according to the law, you can't return and marry your first spouse.
And Paul is saying, that your not bound to that law anymore.
And this marriage that they made with death is now annuled by their being made alive in Christ. Meaning they are now free to return to their original Husband which is God.
Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
This is about the law of divorcement. Between Israel and the Lord.
Mat 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
This is how I see it.
God gave Moses 10 commandments witten on stone with his own finger.
These Moses was to teach to the children of Israel.
They already had the "moral law" written in their hearts but it had become hard and calloused, thus the circumcision of the heart.
So God used stone tablets as a mirror of their own hearts. It was almost a mockery if you ask me.
They had become so entrenched after 400 years and multiple generations, into the ideologies and beliefs of the Egyptians.
That's where the idea of stoning people was originated and injected in the law that not only Moses, but Moses' father-in-law Jethro who was a Medianite, helped him craft.
A lot of the laws that Moses wrote came also from his experience in Egypt. Some of their customs were intertwined so to make it more acceptable.
That is why it is important to rightly divide the word of truth. You have to sift through the law and remove the chaff.
But the moral law, I pray I am never severed from that.
That is the one God embedded in my heart and mind and soul, which is the knowledge of good instead of evil.
(wrong thread, thats the tree of knowledge)
Nevertheless...
If I choose to not abide by the moral law, then that will open a very wide gap for satan to climb in and set up house in my heart and mind and soul.
I pray I will always remain in the moral law of what is good and right and holy and just.
This law is a lamp unto my feet.
Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Psa 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
If Jesus is the Light, and God's law is Light,
then why would I ever choose to walk in darkness?
Those my thoughts..

Moses served God end of story, remember why the Laws were given ? to what ?
Non of then Laws are wrong at all. but are still the foundations of the Law under Grace, big difference ! but Jesus did not come to destroy the Law, not one Jot ! that's what Jesus said. Now the Jews claimed Jesus was ? and that's why they wanted to kill him !
Grace only came when Jesus went to Heaven.
