FAQ: What is the law of sin?
REPLY: Cursed is anyone who does not affirm the terms of this law by
obeying them. (Deut 27:26) cf. Ezek 18:4, Rom 6:23, & Gal 3:10
_
So God is not the same? He changes. There is only One Law. Messiah is the Word made flesh. Law reveals what sin is just ask Paul. Messiah pay the penalty for sn which is death. That does not mean the law is gone it means the penalty is paid. This is why Deut 28 shows the blessings for applying and the curses for not same Law for both and Lev 26. There is a positive and negative aspect to the Law
Yeshua Himself said
NKJ John 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
The New Testament was not written when this was said before He died and rose again, so technically still before the renewed covenant.
What was the doctrine of the one who sent Him (The Father) the only doctrine they had were the Hebrew Scriptures, the Tanak, The Old Testament. This is exactly the same as the Bereans in Acts when they tested everything Paul taught they searched the scriptures. What were they? The same Hebrew scriptures. They kept the feasts and weekly Sabbaths and the rest of it.
Let me ask you a question what part of God's Law is bad? Do you know what His laws are?
I guess we can murder now, I guess we can worship idols and other gods now, I can I can go into a shop and steal now because I am under grace. I guess I can commit adultery or sleep with family members. This is what many denominational and many churches have done by saying God's Law is bad and look at the state of many of them and look at the state of many of our western so called Judeo Christian based societies. Up to the eyeballs in sin. No wonder the world is in a mess they are not blessed they are reaping Deut 28 and Lev 26. Why because God's word is TRUE and has not changed.
Again read the Laws and tell me what ones are bad. Remember this is the same Law that David speaks of multiple times in Psalm 119
NKJ Psalm 119:1 ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the LORD!
I mean seriously read Psalm 119 and see what David says about the LAW of God which includes commandments, statutes, testimonies, judgements. Yep I am happy to be Like David if I can.
NKJ Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
Yep I am happy to delight in the Law and meditate on it day and night and apply it to my life. Praise Yahweh for His words for they bring life and life more abundantly. Consider the words of Yeshua.
NKJ Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written,`Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"
Again directly quoting from God's Law Deut 8:3 also declared before the New Testament was written. What is the word of God when He said this? The Law, The prophets, The Writings, the Tanak and The Old Testament.
The God I serve does not change. Yeshua is the same yesterday, today and forever. Halleluyah!!
Shalom
