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

Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh

Ezekiel 11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

Ezekiel 11:21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.


The Law of the Kingdom of God, straight for the mouth of Jesus, in Matt 5 is basically the commandments God Himself wrote with His own finger.

We must remember who Jesus said shall be least in the kingdom.
You could delete from the Mitzvot laws those that do not feature in Christs 50 commandments and see how many of the Mitzvot laws are left. No fiddling mind you.

The Faith of Christ is simply the belief that Christ is the Messiah and that God raised Him from the dead etc.
Thanks for your reply brother.

Take a look Romans 10:6-8 and the surrounding context. How do you see it relating to your answer and the question asked

It`s bad form to expect somebody to spend valuable time on a cut and paste article. I was born at night but not last night. Ever hear that saying? Pick a better article next time you try that con on a message board. If yours was any good I would have been compelled to answer it anyway. That one was terrible. Unworthy to be remarked on.
Again, a copout

Give it up man, no one, or very few at most, are buying in.

NO LAW can help me with these things.. If there had been a law which could. Then we would never have needed christ to begin with.

Whatever the master says to his slave or servant is deemed as a law for him. We were bought by the precious blood of Jesus and are now His possession, His servants, He is our Lord.
Jesus is the law written in our hearts, the love of God and the law that the one Lawgiver has given us. (John 3:16, Romans 8:1-17)

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:15-23

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor? James 4:11-12

So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’” Luke 17:7-10
A law is given for the sinner, so they can be prosecuted and judged,

A righteous person does not need law.

Yes god gives us direction, but that's not law

The world stood for around 2000 years with no law, and they seemed to be ok.

This isn`t my first rodeo. I`ve seen plenty of compromised OSAS who point to verses they like and avoid verses that don`t work for them.
Useless to debate such people about it because you just go in a circle.
Lol, and your not a worker, once again, thank you

And your hypocricy is now well noted. Muliple times you statepeople do not use scripture or reply to them, and yet multiple times they have and this is your reply.

Good luck, i will pray for you.

Those who do not love and serve.

And what do those who love and serve by nature do?

They are lawful

They did not need the law. They by nature practiced good deeds,

I think this is the disconnect here

One side says we need the law to guide,

The other side we need to stop looking at self (the flesh) and look to love and serve, and that is our guide.

Be careful :) He was talking about the whole Law not just the 10 commandments. Earth is still here right?

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.
Yep

Till heaven and earth pass

Anyone who does not obey every word is cursed, you can keep the whole law, yet if you stumble in one point, your done (guilty)

Oh thats right, you do not like those passages, sorry.

If you really believe what you are saying all I can say is you`re naive and ignorant. I`ve written a small book and a bunch of articles. I spent over 5 years in Yahoo`s heyday having two groups and debating every doctrine you can imagine, taking all challeges. That was my policy. I`ve studied the Bible for 36 years and I read religeous and political commentary daily.

Your article is a bad read. The writer picks and chooses which scriptures he wants to talk about and then he throws in some monkey talk, making it sound like James works doctrine has an alternative meaning to it.

He has a target audience that he is catering too but he knows better because he threw this comment in with the junk he wrote

"Words/works will be evidences for, or against a man's being in a state of righteousness." That`s a quote right out of your mud puddle article and it makes words, behavior and works pretty important eh?
Dude you said no one wants to discuss, he offered to discuss. And you refuse.

Stop being a hypocrite :rolleyes:

Thanks for your reply brother.

Take a look Romans 10:6-8 and the surrounding context. How do you see it relating to your answer and the question asked
“But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach” (Romans 10:6-8)

The apostle is quoting Deuteronomy 30:14, “But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.” The promise of redemption made by the Old Testament prophets was a part of every Jew’s creed. It was in their mouth and in their heart, so that the tongue may make confession unto salvation. Paul pointed his fellow Jews to salvation by the faith that was in their mouth and in their hearts, instead of by works of the law for which there is no salvation.

Deut 30:14 ends by saying "DO IT."

Amen! Romans 10:5 - For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, "The man who does those things shall live by them." 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, " 'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." :)

Wonderful. The Bible is so true, and God is so great, I am really happy to be a Christian.

Paul is saying that you don`t have to bring Christ down from Heaven or raise Him up again from the dead because the righteousness is right here. What most Christians don`t know is that Paul is taking this teaching from the Law which he references throughout the epistles.

Deuteronomy 30

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;


Romans 6

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Why not act like a Christian with your profession?
Please show where I stated anyone was to keep anything.

You make accusation after accusation.
One derogatory comment after another against people. Shame is your sham.
Jesus is the judged and is judging Let’s let him
ahem*

on page 12, post #279, someone asked you if it was a sin to unintentionally not keep the Sabbath.

you said " yes, willfully or unintentionally .

so, there you are. your own words, saying that you think it is a sin to not keep the Sabbath.

i'll be waiting on my apology . actually . I think you owe me several , as many times as I have caught you lying and flip-flopping on the your theology.

QUESTION:

Are Christians sinning unintentionally, by not keeping the Sabbath, because we think it no longer needs to be kept? I know that i'll be sent to prison if i ever murdered or steal.
ANSWER:

Yes some unintentionally, some willfully.

God has put His Commandments, His Word in our hearts, minds, and mouths through Jesus. How can we not keep what has been made part of us?

You are distorting what he said. No surprise since you`ve done same with me. His remark is only in reference to two or three posts. A Christian who doesn`t believe in any commandments is at best just a religeous person and maybe not even enough to be that.

I meant apologise for your false accusation. You said I didn`t answer your sabbath question and for the second time I`m telling you I did.
