Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

Do you mean you looked up the 613 laws? And of those you feel some were done away with? And the others are to be done spiritually?

So for example, the commandment about resting on the Sabbath means that we rest spiritually on the Sabbath, and every other day I would hope, it does not relate to physical rest?
I don't think "done away with" so much as only applicable to those that they are applicable to. I don't own oxen, someone does. Yet a thief is a thief everywhere and should be dealt with the same. Heart and mind. Means using the Common Sense rendered from the wisdom and knowledge of God and the convictions God gives us from without and within. What you find sinful, I may not.

I think it is really awesome when you read scripture a certain way for a long time and you think you know what it says.

Then later it is opened to you to understand it a different way.

The Lord Jesus says things in the gospels that are a play on words a lot. The Lord Jesus phrases things in the gospels in certain ways that leaves the intent of His Words hidden from people by there being several different ways to interpret His Words.

Luke 23:43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Depending on a persons belief the comma in this sentence is either in the correct place or it is not.

Not sure that it really matters in the big picture but its interesting to me how this simple sentence can be interpreted in different ways depending on ones belief.


You would think that a person would keep their belief(s) open a little so that scripture could change their incomplete knowledge when it was needed or when it was time. Instead of twisting scripture around to make it fit into a small box (their belief).

But I guess we all do that maybe a little. In order for scripture to interpret scripture and in order for our beliefs to continue to fit what we know and what we believe.

Aye Grandpa! Some twist more then others. Reckon, that's the purpose for edyifying.

Like a Berean. When God reveals something to me? I scour the Bible! And, at times? This sometimes leads to books, or writings not included in the "canon", or deleted that which "today's" Christendom, considers "The Bible." When this is added, and compared to that which is "in the canon?" It greatly deepened my understanding, of what the God, and Father wants from us in, and, by, and through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
The greater part of these understandings concerns the "government" on the shoulder of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, High Priest, and Kinsmen Redeemer.
I don't expect sheep, or sheeples, to understand, that which is seen in many of the "greetings" by the writers, of the N.T.
On the other hand? I challenge those that are happy in remaining that way. Just as I war with those who fight with those who wish to learn more then what they've been taught. Which is why after several years of getting bounced out of more then 1 "christian" chat room? I have found CC Chat. So, that by my postings, of my experiences gives cause for them to not give up. So, that they don't lose their faith!
It is because of these understandings, some readers ask me to elaborate, some ridicule me, and some just ignore me.
And, I'll continue in doing the same in here. As long as CC Chat will have me. :)

Must be doing something right. Still here after 4 years! ;)

No, I don't advocate executing sorcerers, because I don't think the letter of the law of Moses is to be followed by Christians today. And one reason I think that is because of the impracticality of separating the moral, civil, and ceremonial parts of the law. The law looks to me like a single unit, it can't be divided up by humans, and I can't see that the scriptures divide it up.

it sounds like you feel that the law is to be separated into ceremonial, civil, and moral sections. Do you have a list for your own personal use of the moral laws?
That is why it is not written anymore. There are no more of the Blood ones.

All and every law or command or ordinance that had to do with "Blood" is gone. The Lamb of God was the perfect blood sacrifice and God wants our love. No circumcise, that is blood. Now of the heart, on the inside. Sabbath as a "particular" day is gone, We rest in Jesus everyday. He is a part of our lives, not just a day. 7th day wasn't made for God by was made for man. All "613" (never registered before)
were done away with "on paper" and written inside us, not one place but two. It made the laws "individual" and "spiritual" The Holy Spirit convicts each of us different.

I think the only ones we are allowed to eliminate are murderers and rapists, and to that, I say to the mother, or father, or brother of the one hurt, Hand me a couple stones, let us send this soul back to God so that he may face his accuser and get his trial going. And for the ones we make a mistake with, God is just so he will have a reward there.
If the rape victim was a virgin who was not engaged to be married, and the rapist is to marry the woman, not to be executed. Is this different from what the spirit wrote on your heart?

Right,
Done away with
Was the phrase you had used.

So it sounds like you're saying just go with what the spirit has written on your heart? and it might be different from one person to the next?

No, always refer to the Written Word for to know the will of God. We are just not bound to death by breaking one, break them all. They are still Gods laws and should be heeded as such. So no, same laws everyone should use not bound. Hence thief charged same everywhere. What do you think? I have shared, your turn.

To me, that looks different from what the letter of the law says.
Did the spirit write something different on your heart in this case?

I believe I have been sharing, I believe I have said many times that I do not I think we should follow the written law of Moses, the letters.

We are not bound to death, but God will still punish us if we do not follow the letter of the moral part of the law of Moses? In your view?

To be honest, and I mean this gently as possible, I hear two different things from you. Sometimes, follow the letter of the law. Other times, follow what the spirit wrote on your heart which would be different than the letter.

The non-blood ones? Do you go by what is written on paper of those? Or what is written on your heart?
I would have to say we should follow in Spirit the word written through Moses. Does that possibly come off as two different things to you? Yes it may. Maybe it is something I do not articulate well. Maybe I am not supposed to. That is coming from my spirit. Does that make sense to you? So if you don't think we should follow the written law of Moses, the letters or the letter of the moral part of the law of moses, what should we follow?

(my response)
Agreed. One can ONLY "connect the dots" one can see.
In the beginning was the Word. Do you think the Word, though always being the Living Word, and becoming God in the flesh also, was make like a son who has to start at the bottom of a big business and learn everything from the ground up, and we may be given partial recordings of such events?
If so, do you think that, wait, do you think there was an age before this one?[/QUOTE]

Do I think there was an earth/heaven age before the one we're currently in?
Yes! I most certainly do. Perhaps? Even more then one.
Where do you think Greek Mythology came from? Same planet. Different age. Zeus wasn't "king of the gods!" Thought he was though! More so like the "dragon" that "swept away" a 1/3rd of the stars of heaven with his "tail/tale." aka the attempted "overthrow."
Jeremiah 4
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

This is the earth/heaven age just prior to the one we're in currently.

Dinosaurs? Same planet. Different age.

Agreed, with all. And thank you for skipping the previous verses. Makes me cry almost every time. Long suffering. We have no idea.

People who don't have love in their hearts, who don't have patience and who don't forgive others, are not holy and therefore will not see God, i.e., will not be saved.

I know most theologians teach that salvation is by grace through faith + NOTHING and this oversimplification leads many to self destruction. A co-worker of mine claimed that he could die while in bed with another woman and yet be saved. Even unbelievers made fun of him: "Oh, tell me where your church is located; I'll apply for membership as soon as possible".

We can see in Gal 5:22 that the Greek word πίστις (faith) is translated FAITHFULNESS and I think that in all contexts related to salvation the Greek word πίστις involves faithfulness.

Even idolaters have "faith", but only faithful Christians have genuine faith (faith + faithfulness).
So basically. As I said. You are offering God your water which is tainted by urine (sin).

You claim to teach salvation by grace, but in reality you teach salvation by works. (In case you try to say, Scripture is clear, if it is grace it is not of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace)

AllI can say is good luck trying to earn your salvation. I just pray you realize, You will fail. Before its too late.

Ps. Salvation is by grace through faith (in God)

Not by mere belief,,

True faith works, so whoever is truly saved will work.

The fact is, if that person sleeping with abother woman can not get to heaven, Neither can any other sinner. Instead of worrying about whoever is commiting whatever type of sin yu think is real bad. Realise ALL sin (no matter how small) is that bad in Gods eyes. There are no such things as minor sins. The penalty of sin is death THE GiFT of God is eternal life.

It was here that I realized it for the first time. "the morning stars and ALL the sons" as He is creating the earth, looking forward to what comes next. Gods game plan. All about getting what He wants in the end. How glorious it will be!!
4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
10And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

God never separated the laws..

People who do water down the law.

I guess it makes them feel better.

I can't agree with your assessment. This sounds like the "law of love", that enemies are forcing, and have forced the whole of Christendom, to be jammed down our collective throats.
"You are not to judge!"
As they keep widening the divide (that there never was supposed to be in the first place), betweenst "church and state.
Which gives myself, and others pertinent reasons in asking: "WHAT "law" is Christendom TO "stablish?"
Romans 3
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

As we can see all around us? "The law through faith?" (you can insert BY "traditions of man" here) is MAKING "the law" void!
