I'm very surprised no one has brought up the point of difference between the LAW & the Commandments.
Jesus/Yahshua clearly stated if you love me you will keep my commandments.
We are clearly told we can't become his, w/o being adopted into his chosen nation, Israel.
Most people bring up the verse on the 2 love commandments. Read all of it & it clearly states that on these 2
hang all the law & the Prophets. Seems pretty clear to me, no interpretation needed.
What part of his commandments is so bad, most people want to fight it? Nine of the ten seem so simple to most.
The only one almost all people want to refute is the Sabbath. Why? Simply because Satan is the god of this world,
just as our Savior said & he has the power to change almost everything that our Father established.
He/Satan changed the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday, Using Constantine & the Catholic church to do so.
Use every excuse of doctrine as you may, but the truth is still the truth & the great deceiver is alive & ruling this world.
This is like using the instruction book to co strict or put together a new toy. Then after the toy is made. We go back to the very beginning and keep reading the instructions on how to build the toy.
the problem is, the toy is never used, it never fulfills its intended purpose. Whcih is never worked out
the law (including the commands) were made to point Israel to their messiah, it was used to prepair them for when he arrived, the commands would show them their utter sinfulness, and the rest would show God and who is is and what he would do to save them from the curse of not obeying every word. Because all have sinned and fall short of that standard
sadly, instead israel took the commands, and though as many do today they were gods instructions on how to live righteously, the ceremonies and offerings because just more instruction in how to live, not the price that needed to be paid for their sinfulness. So when messiah came, they did not recognize him, because they took the law out of co text. Added a bunch more laws which made them feel even more superior, and ended up crucifying their messiah because the schoolmaster given to teach them how sinful they were, was changed to a schoolmaster on how to live righteously
it’s sad, people in the church today want to make the same mistake, they want to return to the commands as a means of learning how to live righteously instead of looking to a new and better covenant which truly leads to righteous living. Something no part of the law of Moses could do
paul called the ten commands, which were written on stone, by the hand of God himself, so radiant that Moses face shone, the ministry of death. Those commands cursed all, who recieved them, because as Moses later demanded. Cursed is the one who does not confirm and obey every word,
as James said, if a jew kept the whole law yet stumbled in one point, he was guilty, no hope, apart from the lamb of God
so why would you want to go back and not forward?
