The Law of Moses Has Not Been Abolished

you do know this is a christian forum. them that have converted to christian teachings.

Galatians 5: Christ Has Set Us Free
1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
2 Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you.3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law.4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.

without a saviour , and without a temple what do you do about your wrong doing in the eyes of the old covenant.

That is because the Law is also a shadow, meaning commands related to festivals, sacrifices, circumcision, sabbaths, were all foreshadows of things found in Jesus Christ, and that is why those commands are no longer observed in the literal manner commanded, but rather, are fulfilled in the realities each foreshadowed. For example,

1. Passover lamb requirement = Jesus Christ as the reality of the passover lamb.
2. Festival of Unleavened Bread = reality to put away sin.
3. Festival of First Fruits = reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
4. Festival of Weeks (Pentecost) = reality of the giving forth of the holy spirit.
5. Festival of Trumpets = reality of the second coming of Jesus Christ with the sound of trumpets.
6. Day of Atonement = reality of the gathering of the elect from all over the world.
7. Festival of Booths = reality of the time the elect will begin to live in the encampment that will exist in Israel for them.
8. Seventh Day Sabbath = reality of the millennial kingdom of Jesus Christ that corresponds with the last thousand years of the full seven thousand years for this heaven and earth to exist.
9 Circumcision of the flesh = reality of the circumcision of the heart to discard your sinful nature (foreskin of the heart), and free you from sin.
10. Abstinence from foods = reality to not yoke together with unbelievers, for the behaviors of unclean animals symbolize the behaviors of ungodly men.

As such, as a messianic Jew, I understand that the law has not been abolished, and that commands such as, "do not kill", "do not steal", "love the Lord your God with all your heart", "a man should not wear women's clothes", are all still in force today. Your protestant churches are in error because you people discard the law that reveals everything that is sin. Whilst you may refrain from a few sins mentioned in the epistles of the apostles, you continue breaking various other laws mentioned in the Law, and as such, you have not come to the full obedience of Jesus Christ. You say you have been "set free", but you do not understand what this actually means. To be "set free" means to be set free from the sin nature that caused you to sin in the first place. If you are still breaking the law, which is what sin is, then you have not actually been set free as you claim you are.

you do not get it brother.
see the law and the pharisees were put in place by man, directed by god. (to keep it short)

acts 2, was a man that was killed , raised to life, raised in to heaven , and sent the gift of the eternal inheritance , this being the holy spirit, on the believers.

so in simple terms no man , no book, no observing of feasts , only faith in a god through jesus can you be saved. (and this is a personal choice not a religions choice),now god saves man, not man saves man. etc


For God So Loved the World
16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God

 

[stonesoffire]

The law and the prophets ended with John. John declared repentance and turning to God, to make a way for Jesus. Jesus brought the kingdom of God into men, with the power of Holy Spirit for living and witnessing.

John was filled with the Spirit from birth...a picture of the body of Christ.

Jesus said all the law hung on two commandments. To love God with all the heart, soul, mind and strength...and our neighbor as ourself.

The kingdom of God within and the power of Holy Spirit gives us this ability. So our part is to endure in love...will we continue to love through all the hardships, and battles that come. Loving one another as members of one body...and loving God through the Sons life.

Its' not really hard when we see John in clarity.

Love is key.

And faith...faith in Jesus and love. Can't forget faith.

Mere belief does not deliver you, or have you not read that "belief without works is dead"? And what do you suppose these works are, if not works of Law, to do good as revealed by the Law, and refrain from evil as revealed by the Law? You err greatly, for you discard the manual that teaches us how to do good and what evil to refrain from. Mere belief will not deliver you, or why do you suppose that in that great day, many will say "Lord, Lord", already having believed, but will be cast out, because they did not DO the will of God. Or that many will say, "did we not cast out demons in your name", already having believed, but will be cast out for being workers of LAW-LESSness, meaning men who lived without Law. Anyone who says the Law is abolished is indeed lawless.

sorry, when did i ask you for a bible lesson , or your opinion. have you got scripture to back up your opinion. and since you don t i gave you scripture ,you have rejected it ,now take it up with the part underlined condemned already part.

when did lawlessness come to the jews. (70ad) without any forgiveness you stay in lawlessness

 

[DustyRhodes]

You cannot be a Jew and a Christian...it is not possible...scripture says the old law leads to death while the new law leads to eternal life...Jesus was the last covenant which made all the other covenants obsolete...each covenant was or its time and each new covenant superseded the one before...ealier on this thread i posted where paul said, Christ is of no value to those who observe the old law...as Jesus said,,,you can't pour new wine into old wine skins...He was not assisting wine makers..He said it to let us know we can't mix the old with the new...So you either become a great Jew or a great Christian...you simply cannot be both.

what we call christain believer is a believer in jesus christ, and even paul addressed this converting from judaism to christian etc
no he was correct. the jews were converted to christian teaching
not converting to judaism.

for example.

I have plenty of scriptures. How about for one, "I did not come to abolish the Law..." and "whoever sets aside the least of these commands will be called least...." and "do we nullify the law by this faith? Of course not! We uphold the law". I also have studies on this topic, read, or do not read, up to you,

Why the Law Is Not Abolished, Yet Circumcision, Festivals, Sacrifices, Sabbaths, Foods Are No Longer Observed | Wisdom of God
The Law of Moses Has Not Been Abolished | Wisdom of God

 

[sparkman]

The Law of Moses has not been abolished, because heaven and earth has not yet passed away, hence "unit heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle will pass away from the Law..." and "whoever sets aside the least of the commands, will be called least...". Even Paul says, "we do not nullify the Law by this faith, but we uphold the Law". Let's start a discussion on these matters.

Read Acts 15, Ephesians 2:13-15, II Corinthians 3, Hebrews 7-8, Romans 7:1-6, Galatians 3-4. These Scriptures indicate the Mosaic Covenant and Law is not in effect anymore as a whole. This does not mean that the Mosaic Covenant or Law does not contain valuable spiritual and moral principles, though.

Notice the temporary nature that is portrayed in Galatians 3-4 concerning the Mosaic Covenant or law. Paul gave the example of the law being a tutor who raises and instructs a child until adulthood. Galatians 3 says that the Mosaic Covenant was in effect "until the seed came", with the seed being Jesus. Note particularly Galatians 3:25.


Additionally, we know that animal sacrifices and the Levitical priesthood are no longer in effect, so if your claim is that Matthew 5:17-19 means the Mosaic Covenant or law is in effect, you need to account for this. It says "not one jot or tittle"..therefore if you are saying that means the Mosaic Covenant is still in effect, you have a logical problem.

Usually what "Torah observers" mean is that days and meat laws need to be observed, and their observance of the Sabbath, holidays, and clean meat laws somehow makes them better than other Christians, or more doctrinally correct. There are obvious Scriptures in the New Testament after the crucifixion that indicate otherwise, particularly Colossians 2:16-17 and Romans 14.

As an ex "lawkeeper", I considered all non-observers in sin and unsaved due to their non-observance. It often creates a judgmental, exclusivist mentality. I am ashamed that I held that view, actually.

If anyone wants to discuss particular Scriptures one on one with me, and they are seriously concerned on this issue, I'd be glad to discuss them from my former observer perspective.

Note that many will claim that the phrase "law of Moses" doesn't mean the Mosaic Covenant, but some oral law or something. The "traditions of the elders" were indeed an issue in some of the encounters with Christ, but to claim that the above Scriptures refer to these traditions is in error. They are definitely referring to the Mosaic Covenant. You can discern this through simple reading of the texts. Also, study how the phrase "law of Moses" is used in the New Testament. Paul uses the phrase to refer to the laws regarding not muzzling an ox while it treads out grain, which is contained in Deuteronomy in the restatement of the Mosaic Covenant. Their assertion is bogus. Importing a false context is a standard tactic of Judaizers.

I have no issue with individuals who want to observe Sabbath, annual festivals or clean meat laws, IF they don't claim others are in sin due to non-observance, and don't claim that observance is a requirement, condition, or necessary proof of salvation. These are meaningful shadows and types..as Jesus is our spiritual Rest that the Sabbath pointed to (Matthew 11:28-30).

And, many make that claim. Armstrongites, some Hebrew Roots and Messianic Jews, and Sabbathkeepers make claims concerning non-observers being in sin. Quite often they bolster their belief system with a false view of church history..a grand conspiracy theory about the evil Roman Catholic Church or Constantine causing Sabbath observance to be abandoned. It is universally accepted by credible sources that virtually no Christians were observing Sabbath by AD140, and the typical Sabbathkeeper assertion is bogus.

That is because the Law is also a shadow, meaning commands related to festivals, sacrifices, circumcision, sabbaths, were all foreshadows of things found in Jesus Christ, and that is why those commands are no longer observed in the literal manner commanded, but rather, are fulfilled in the realities each foreshadowed. For example,

1. Passover lamb requirement = Jesus Christ as the reality of the passover lamb.
2. Festival of Unleavened Bread = reality to put away sin.
3. Festival of First Fruits = reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
4. Festival of Weeks (Pentecost) = reality of the giving forth of the holy spirit.
5. Festival of Trumpets = reality of the second coming of Jesus Christ with the sound of trumpets.
6. Day of Atonement = reality of the gathering of the elect from all over the world.
7. Festival of Booths = reality of the time the elect will begin to live in the encampment that will exist in Israel for them.
8. Seventh Day Sabbath = reality of the millennial kingdom of Jesus Christ that corresponds with the last thousand years of the full seven thousand years for this heaven and earth to exist.
9 Circumcision of the flesh = reality of the circumcision of the heart to discard your sinful nature (foreskin of the heart), and free you from sin.
10. Abstinence from foods = reality to not yoke together with unbelievers, for the behaviors of unclean animals symbolize the behaviors of ungodly men.

As such, as a messianic Jew, I understand that the law has not been abolished, and that commands such as, "do not kill", "do not steal", "love the Lord your God with all your heart", "a man should not wear women's clothes", are all still in force today. Your protestant churches are in error because you people discard the law that reveals everything that is sin. Whilst you may refrain from a few sins mentioned in the epistles of the apostles, you continue breaking various other laws mentioned in the Law, and as such, you have not come to the full obedience of Jesus Christ. You say you have been "set free", but you do not understand what this actually means. To be "set free" means to be set free from the sin nature that caused you to sin in the first place. If you are still breaking the law, which is what sin is, then you have not actually been set free as you claim you are.

How are you able to obey a carnal understanding of what you think the law says and also be set free from that Law by the Lord Jesus Christ at the same time?

You can't. You can only choose one or the other. You can't blend them. That is what the Galatians tried to do. That is what the Pharisees tried to get all Christians to do since the beginning of Christianity. It's error. And its the one big error that Paul preached against over and over.

Hebrews 7:11-19
[FONT=&quot]11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Do you understand what these passages are saying? Its saying that the Old Law is changed, the carnal following and carnal understanding of the law annulled, for those who have this New High Priest.

Its saying that the Old Law didn't have the Power to change people to do what the Old Law commanded. But our New High Priest does have that Power.

This same concept is repeated in different ways in several other epistles. [/FONT]

Clearly you do not have a clue what you're talking about, because even according to one of the apostles a true Jew is one that is "inwardly", and it is not a matter of circumcision or uncircumcision. And that even those who are Gentiles, are all grafted into the ONE olive tree, which is Israel, and ALL, whether formerly Gentile or Jew, will ALL be called Israel. The difference between a protestant, such as yourself, and a messianic Jew, such as myself, is that I am aware that the Law has not been abolished, and know what the righteous requirements of God in accordance to that Law, and that even though works of Law do not bring about deliverance, that sanctification of the holy spirit through belief in Jesus Christ causes complete and perfect obedience to this very Law you so easily discard, because the baptism of the holy spirit brings about deliverance from the bondage of the sinful nature that caused the disobedience of the Law to begin with. You have been deceived.

 

[trofimus]

Technically the law was only for the Jews. Gentiles had no law at all.

Exactly. Some Christians read the Old Testament so often that they begun to think they are Jews and that their ancestors came out of Egypt

 

[NayborBear]

Romans 7:16
"If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good"

Methinks the above verse is referring to the Jewish Law, that had apostasied into the "talmud"...Jesus lambasted this law!

This same concept is repeated in different ways in several other epistles.

There is no "set free from the Law", there is "set free from THE SIN revealed by the Law", hence "you have been set free from sin". And it is quite the contrary, you cannot UNTIE the Law from the gospel, for the one foreshadows the other, and the one sets the righteous requirements of the other. Where you do you suppose Paul got "homosexuals, adulterers, murderers" will not inherit the kingdom of God but from the commands found in the Law? Hello? These are such basic premises of scripture. No one who thinks the Law has been abolished will be delivered. It's one of those doctrinal errors that will lead you to ignore many many commands found in the Law that your protestant churches are known to break daily. Sexual immoralities - such as contraception, having sex while a woman is menstruating in her flow of blood, divorce & remarriage, tattoos, wives not wearing head covering as the sign of marriage, engaging in financial sins such as usury & interest (insurances, modern banking, gambling, etc), and many many many more sins.

 

[Locutus]

I used to be messianic - now I'm just messi...

 

[christig]

Being "of Israel" makes NOBODY a Jew. There is neither Jew nor Greek in Christ Jesus...

Indeed there isn't, which is why it matters not if I call myself a messianic Jew or a messianic Gentile, but for the sake of getting you guys to understand that the Law has not been discarded, I will call myself a messianic Jew, because that is also what I am, even though I was also born as a Gentile, having descended from the Sephardi.

 

[sparkman]

Notice the behavior of the OP.

This behavior is common amongst Judaizers..the accusation that others are in sin, because they define sin as non-observance of Torah.

If this is true, then they need to obey all of Torah, including going to Jerusalem three times a year for the pilgrimage festivals, making the appropriate animal sacrifices, and giving their tithes to the Levitical priesthood, as well as not touching a menstruous woman.

The Mosaic Covenant was one unit, and modifying any commandment isn't acceptable.

Their answer will be, but..we can't go to the Temple to have animal sacrifices performed, and the Levitical priesthood isn't around to give tithes to...what does that tell you? It is impossible to fulfill the Mosaic Covenant. Your modified, pick and choose list of commandments that you call the Mosaic Covenant is NOT the Mosaic Covenant..it is your own stripped-down version of it, and it is an affront to God. It is like holding a blade of grass up in front of your groin to hide your spiritual nakedness...you may think you're hiding your spiritual nakedness but God sees your nakedness clearly.

Additionally, why do you think Sabbath-breaking or eating unclean meats is NEVER mentioned in the epistles of Paul as a sin? Why do you think that John called the festivals the "feasts of the Jews", implying that they are not applicable to Christians? Do you realize that New Testament Christians, in many cases, were Gentiles who were enslaved to unbelieving Gentile masters who would not let them observe Sabbath or festivals? In light of this, why don't we read ANYTHING from Paul concerning the need to keep festivals and Sabbath regardless of this constraint?

These are all questions I had to ask myself as a former Judaizer to see the absurdity of those who taught me.

Regarding the definition of sin, I would define it as the moral requirements of God applicable to me, not the ancient nation of Israel, which was Torah. We know from Galatians that Torah was temporary, therefore Torah doesn't define sin for me.

Intuitively, the Holy Spirit guides the believer into realizing the moral requirements of God and fleshly behavior. Through regeneration, God writes his laws on our hearts, and that is how we know what is right and wrong. That is why Paul, in the book of Galatians, focuses on the theme of being led by the Spirit in Galatians 5. That section is not there in a discussion of the New Covenant versus the Mosaic Covenant for no reason.

Anyways, consider your inconsistencies. I doubt very much that you go to Jerusalem 3 times a year as the Law required. I doubt you build a Sukkoth and occupy it for the 7-8 days of the Feast of Tabernacles either. I doubt that you never touch a menstruous woman..unless all women in your life wear a T shirt on the days they are menstruous or unclean during the specified period.

And..I know the explanation some give claiming that this only applied to the priests..bogus explanation. There's no contextual proof in this regard.
