Ummmmm, the phrase, "The Ten Commandments" doesn't appear ANYWHERE in the Bible - OT or NT.
LOL you so funny....the phrase Ten Commandments appears 3 times in the Old Testament but does not appear in the New Testament. The fact that they do not appear in the New Testament is just a fact......The reason that we are not under the Mosaic Law is made absolutely clear by all the scriptures that say we are not under the Mosaic Law.
And NO - you haven't given a SINGLE verse to support your fallacy that we are NOT bound by them. You gave me verses that pertain to the dietary, cleanliness and ceremonial Laws. The Commandments revolve around the MORAL Law, which transcends the Mosaic Law.
Reading comprehension problem? None of the verses I gave you are about dietary, cleanliness, or ceremonial laws....they are general statements on the Law as a whole.
And no, the Ten Commandments do not transcend the Mosaic Law. The Ten Commandments in chapter 20 of Exodus are summaries of Laws....the full explaination of the Laws are in the body of the Mosaic Laws. The Commandments that God called the Ten Commandments and told Moses to write them on the Tablets of the Testimony are in Exodus 34:11-28 and take note to the last verse.
The Apostle Paul had nothing good to say about the Law and explained in detail that we are not under the Law. You need to read each scripture carefully because they are very clear and powerful statements.
2nd Corinthians 3:7-8 But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?
1st Corinthians 9:20 “And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law, through not being myself under the Law, that I might win those who are under the Law;”
Romans 4:15 “for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there violation.”
Romans 6:14 “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
Romans 6:15 “What then? Are we to sin because we are not under the Law but under grace?”
Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath me free from the law of sin and death.”
Romans 7:6 “But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.”
Romans 7:8 “But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.”
2nd Corinthians 3:3 “being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.”
Galatians 3:12 “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us.....”
This follows Paul’s statement saying You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you….
Galatians 4:21 “Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not listen to the law?”
Galatians 3:10 “For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
Galatians 3:24-25 “So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,”
Galatians 5:18 “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.”
Galatians 2:16 “Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.”
Galatians 2:21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Galatians 5:4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.
Hebrews 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:13 When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.
Romans 3:20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
