John, Bringing up the fact that Christ lived, died and taught the law is just reliving history. He had to live by the law to fulfill the law, so we won't have to be burdened by it. Your 1 John 5:2 ref. is not speaking of the ten but the two of Matt. 22. If you want to understand how to live apart from the law than only Paul's writings can show you that. One can't correctly learn our relationship to the law from the OT or the gospels as the new covenant hadn't arrived yet. Christ's death changed everything and He "willed" to us the promise of grace apart from the law! While Christ was the testator, it was Paul who became the executor of the message of the new covenant.
We know that Christ was and is the word, however, the "backside" of the "voice" had to be God the Father.
Why must it be the Father? Because that is the only scenario that allows your thinking that Christ did away with the harsh old Commands of the Father and started something new. Problem is Christ plainly says that...
Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
So help me out here, was Christ lying or just mistaken?
It is possible that Christ was Melchisedek and may have been one of the "men" who spoke with Abraham. His face has been seen, therefore they can't be the same. Giving an obscure passage like John 5:37 doesn't negate the words of Christ in 15:10 as He is only referencing those He is talking to, not all men at all times. Knowing who is speaking what to whom is Bible 101.
Yep and although the scriputre is quite plain about it, you seem unable to accept it...
1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
It wasn't the Father, it was Christ. But if indeed it had been the Father, what did Christ come to do?
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Joh 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
Joh 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Joh 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Joh 8:19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Joh 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
Now remember, Jesus Christ said...
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
and...
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Which ones? Again...
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The Ten Commandments.
Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Joh 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
Seems from what we read Jesus' ministry was all about the Father. So whether these laws are Christ's or the Father's, we still have the Commandments.
I'll repeat, if you want to understand the believer's position regarding the law, the gospels won't do that for you. You have to go to Paul's writings to get that understanding.
I find this statement absolutely amazing. You are telling me that my Lord, Master and Saviour is not who I should listen to, believe or obey? You have got to be kidding me. That is, to put it bluntly, male bovine fecal matter.
