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

[SimpleGardner]

When you see people such as this? Being gentiles themselves who refuse in complying with this?
1 Peter 2
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, ACCEPTABLE TO God BY Jesus Christ.
They don't "get it!" They CAN'T "GET IT", from where they are, and to whom they teach concerning.
Though, they claim to be wise? They are speaking from a foolish and darkened heart, and spirit!

They have not built up a spiritual house, and are not an holy preisthood. But, rather, preist's of this:
2 Thessalonians 2
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Well Said!,

We love our Heavenly Father, it manifests itself in loving His words. The Holy Spirit bears witness to our hearts as we read His words, yes, even His OT laws which our redeemer summarized so well! When we read and come to knowledge of the truth and find joy in it we live out that Joy and righteousness. It flows out as brotherly kindness, tenderness, compassion and gentle guidance in the way. This example is what Draws All Men Unto Jesus! This is what men desire to emulate from the heart!

 

[SimpleGardner]

Matthew 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Ok. Do you obey the laws of God?

It is a basic question isn't it? Nicely asked, but to answer it honestly requires a man be honest with himself.

It requires a man to surrender his heart to God for his inspection! Too many denials as he stands at the door and knocks and the Master relents. They are our hearts, He gives us the free will to resist His inspection. He is the only One who can reveal our hearts! We cannot know our own hearts AT ALL! For any man to bear witness to his own condition is nonsense. Only God and other eyes who are objective and wise can bear witness to the truth of our condition!

 

[Dan_473]

Daniel 12 (KJV)
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and *knowledge shall be increased.

*strongs 1847-cunning. Strongs 3045 has a further rendering of knowledge. Much too long to hunt n peck out here. Reading this along with 1847, however gives one a somewhat more "sinister" sense of what is inferred in the word knowledge as used in this verse. I think the word GREED, for "this knowledge", could be used as well. Not to mention the cunning that is incorporated in its using against Christendom, in the furthering the "traditions of man."
The very fact we are grafted "wild olive trees?" Makes this so much harder in the detecting of, overcoming, and the "stablishing" the "law", that we as Christ Men are to do!

Concerning cotton polyester blends etc. etc.
Colossians 2
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
I think we can include cotton blends, in articles of clothing in this. can we not?

Concerning moral laws?
Romans 1 (NIV)
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Keeping in mind the meaning of the word knowledge, as used in Daniel 12:4?
Ecclesiastes 1
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

I agree that we are not to judge one another regarding cotton and polyester blends. However, I'm not interested in trying to judge someone as Superior or inferior. Rather, I am asking for those who feel that there are a set of moral laws that can be separated out of the law of Moses, is the commandment about not mixing linen and wool one of those moral laws? And does it then apply to Cotton and polyester?

This is no different than simply asking someone if they keep a new Moon festival.

I don't follow how Romans 1 relates. That section seems to be about gentiles doing evil. it doesn't seem to be about the process of separating the moral laws from the ceremonial and civil laws in the law of Moses, that some nice folks feel they have the ability to do.

12 THAT THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.


Such a tragedy it is! Yet? Not really! As they have reaped that which they have sown!
I must confess, that I have tried time and time again, in the persuading of them. And even prayed, if I was actually fighting against God, in my efforts of an "un-deluding" of these types. The answer I received was: "Well?" "You can try!"
Since then however, I find it much more beneficial, like some shepherd, in warning "well intended" sheeps/peeps, to not allow for these "wolves in sheeps clothing" in their dissuadings of their seeking, or pressing on to the "Higher Calling" OF God in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior!

 

[DeighAnn]

this is a false question. what Jesus was doing here was speaking to jews, who were all under the Law of Moses, which was a Covenant made between God and Israel at Sinai,

you do understand how covenants work, don't you? both sides have to enter, with a animal sacrifice, and oaths by both sides, with penalties for violating them.

now, in Leviticus 26, God specifically spoke to Moses about the " Covenant He made with the fathers of those who came out of Egypt"

what covenant? the one I just described .

so, you see ms. ann, if you cannot trace your ancestry back to those who 2 walked across the red sea, then you were not placed under that Covenant by God.

so, no, I do NOT have to keep the letter of the Law of Moses. as a Christ following gentile, I am to be manifesting the Fruits of the Sprit ( no Sabbath keeping mentioned in them), which if I am properly doing, I will produce the righteous intent that the Law was designed to do, but could not do.

Covenants work when blood is shed. Jesus blood was shed. "a new creature" is a Christian. Not a Greek or Jew or Gentile. There is no separation, He made all one. But I see I do not ever bring out the good fruits you are striving to produce and I feel I may become a stumbling block and as such, I will pray Gods Will be done and we may both move onto more fertile soil All Glory to the LORD.

 

[Dan_473]

The Holy Spirit within you gives you this answer, yes? My wordy post should answer this pretty clearly,

The holy spirit gives me the answer of how to relate to the law, yes. But in a discussion group like this, it doesn't mean that I understand what other people are saying. So I often ask them to clarify.

I reread your post again, and to me it looks like you are saying that you attempt to follow the letter of the law. Though, as I understand from other posts, you do not follow the letter of the entire law just parts of it. But of the parts that you do follow, I am still not clear on whether you attempt to follow the letter of those laws, or if you attempt to follow those laws as the spirit leads and explains them to you. In which case you may actually end up violating the actual letter of the law.

I hope you understand, any fun or interest was taken away and I am left with the wisdom to no longer pursue this as I can not say anything without a big long qualifier with every post. Maybe a blog would be the answer where is it only about the specific laws and what they must have been for. I was warned this is not a place to feel safe and I will heed it. Good Luck with the others you are speaking with. I will read the banter I am sure and enjoy it.

About "this!"

[Dan_473]

Well Dan, I don't propose to understand all of the 613 ordinances that God put forth. That is why we meditate on those. Applying the law spiritually, I ask myself why was this or that one was instigated originally. Mixing fabric I have not figured out yet. One ordinance was not to pull out some parts of the grain in the cereal crops. We now know that is healthier, not doing that. But I still use white flour occasionally and I don't think of it as sinful. The same as mixing fabric is not sinful. We do not have to keep the law.

I feel the Spirit guiding me to understand His reasons for the ordinances. Usually it is for our own good not just something to stumble at.

Everyone is super quick to dismiss the laws since we are saved by grace. But I find reference to the Commandments throughout the New Testament. Our traditions are the biggest obstacles to learning from the Holy Spirit. Paul says the law is good, just and holy (Rom. 7:12). That was enough for me, but I don't expect to be able to do it perfectly, thank God for grace.

Yes, I'm fine with looking to the law for wisdom.

I'm glad that you said above that we do not need to keep the law. Sounds like we're on the same page with that!

 

[Dan_473]

Hebrews 9:1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. Where do they go?

Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
Hebrews 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: Jesus becomes our High Priest, our mediator
Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing The first one had an ending date.

Hebrews 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience but a lamb of infinite value, that would give you confidance

Hebrews 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. These things not done with 2nd covenant so where do they go? But there are still heavenly things to consider, Spiritual
Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building

Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
once again, where do they go? But there are still heavenly things to consider, Spiritual
Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Things hard to say

Hi! I don't understand where you say
Where do they go?

do you mean which category are those ordinances placed in?

I hear what you are saying! I have been on CC for about five years now I think. Often times it is a wonderful experience! But sometimes, not so much.

Excellent verse passage choice!

Well, yes, on the one hand there is the loss of the deceived and on the other there is the loss of those they deceive, but not to be too humanistic about it I consider them an offense against the Most High and His order!

So what are you saying?

We are decieved?

Yet your the one who can not answer questions

Your the one who deflects. When push comes to chose (like yesterday when you said the law showed mercy for unintentional sin, Yet I proved that that mercy STILL came with a price. Then you deflected..)

Your the one who makes accusations against people. Then when asked to back those accusations. You do not have an answer

Your the one who keeps being confronted on things, yet attacks the people who confront you?

You need to look inside. Man,, You need to look inside, Once again, You need to pull that plank out of your eye, you keep trying to remove specs. And you can not see because you can not see due to the larg plank in your own eye.

It is a day for HEB 4:12,

 

[eternally-gratefull]

Do people realise the pharisee lived his life living heb 4: 12. Living a life thinking he surrendered it all to God. They ddi all the things they did because they KNEW IN THEIR HEART it was what God wanted?

Saul killed believers thinking he was chosen by God himself to put out these grace jesus freaks.. It took God to knock him off the donkey he was riding and close his physical eyes so he could open his spiritual eyes.

Sadly, God will not do this for all. He wants us to do it for ourselves..

Right, I don't worry.

I don't understand what you mean by
Cotton and polyester blends? PFFFFFFT! 

do you mean the commandant regarding mixing linen and wool is not worth discussing?


Suppose I was cleaning out my closet, and I found this
https://www.etsy.com/listing/656784...uery=linsey+woolsey&ref=sr_gallery-1-10&frs=1
And I knew that there was a poor family in my neighborhood where something like this could be used. But I also knew that they were nice Hebrew Roots folks. I probably wouldn't offer this to them because I wouldn't want their conscience to be defiled. I'd just give it to a thrift store or someone that I thought wouldn't care.

This is an anonymous forum, and I'm not currently giving away any clothes. But I do hear people talking about dividing the law into ceremonial, civil, and moral categories.

I don't think humans can divide the law that way. But I'm willing to consider, if someone will go through why this particular commandment is in one category or another.

Or maybe you're saying that only God can tell you what commandments are in the moral law category. And once God tells you, you are not to share it with other people, it is a kind of secret knowledge. And it must never be written down, and definitely never written down and shared with other people on a forum like this. Is that what you're saying?

Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John (That would be the Law of Moses) since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.


Are you a Christ man? Doesn't matter your background, same exact life is being offered to WHOMSOEVER WILL.
Since that time the kingdom of GOD is preached. EVERYMAN presseth into it and not a dot of it is going to fail.

That casual loose kick back law of Moses is being replace by the KINGDOM OF GOD. Our Jesus is stepping up the game. The Pharisees had loosed up the law even more with Corbin. Jesus is going to set us straight on all that when He explains our new laws. Laws written on out in our hearts AND minds. "OH I didn't know" not going to fly. NO EXCUSES. There is a real deal coming. There is a judgement day coming. Once you have heard the truth, your choice to believe it or walk away. Sail your ship well. There is a right side and a deceptive side.

Gal 3:
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayedamong you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so [c]many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do itby the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

The Law Brings a Curse
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed iseveryone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is [d]justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The Changeless Promise
15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it isconfirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God [e]in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Purpose of the Law
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, [f]kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our [g]tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

People want to push law and push we should put ourselves under law.

Going to law puts you under a curse. As shown in th elast few posts. Not one jot or tittle of the law will cease until all is accomplished. Why? Because there are people on the earth who need the schoomaster. They need led. Like we were led. Until we come to christ.

But those who try to say AFTER we come, we must still follow the tutor? They are leading others astray. God gave us a better, way.

1. Love - this law will enable us to keep the moral law. Something the moral law could not help us do.
2. Seek after the things of the spirit. This keeps our focus off self. And in doing so. Again, will cause us not to break the moral law. Because sin comes when we are focused on self and not others
3. Learning to produce the fruits of the spirit. When we do these things, the law can not touch us, Because again, We are focused on loving God and others. And when we do this, we will break Gods commands.

THE SHADOW OF MOSES
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
